So hot today... Had a freak storm barrel through here too, which was a bit scary.

I guess when QAnon said there was a cabal of satanic paedophiles running the world they were right.

I agree with you but I really wish people would stop calling him 'Bibi'. He's not our buddy, or some boisterous but quirky and lovable uncle figure from reality TV. He's a war criminal responsible for genocide, aided and abetted by other politicians who have been so close to him for so long that they have an affectionate nickname for him.

I think it depends how disgusted people become by an ineffective Burnham government, not to mention any scandals that might come out. The Tories are officially the opposition right now but are effectively irrelevant and ignored. They just get to ask more questions in the Commons. You could easily be forgiven for thinking it's actually Reform who are in opposition!

You know I'd never actually heard of Andy Burnham until a few months ago.

He's right to say that this is Labour's last chance. I don't think they will be (or can be) transformational enough though. Just look at the 'heavyweight economists' he's hired to help developed policy. They are all revolving-door 'economic heavyweight' types from the BoE and the OBR.

Once he is PM and it sinks in that nothing significant for normal people is going to change, I think Labour will go the same way as the Tories, and have wasted loads of time while everything goes to shit.

Everything that I've tested. The wireless card is physically broken, so I haven't been able to test that, but I had it running with FOSS drivers on Debian so I think it should be fine. From memory it was and Atheros chip from Aliexpress.

Coming from a country whose economic growth has become completely dependent on scraping the internet.

It's one rule for you and another for capital which has captured the state.

I basically just assume that anything which is closed-source, networked and has sensors of any kind is a spying device. It's easier than evaluating each one individually.

They are probably using a phone app which allows you to swipe sideways to downvote and also using screen gestures to 'go back'. I've accidentally downvoted things this way.

Great choice. And if you do ever find yourself in a hurry for the latest version of something, there is flatpak and appimage.

It is a wonderful time to be a Linux user.

Why doesn't it include the $114 million in salaries that it pays and other big expenses? This extension makes it look like Wikipedia don't need donations when they really do. Seems malicious.

I am way too happy using GIMP now to make use of this.

Crazy. DDoS attacks are illegal here in the UK.

If there is a third world war I think either everyone will lose in one day (nuclear weapons), or it will be sabotage and 'special military operations' everywhere for decades, and not named as a world war until later.

The more I understand economics and the longer I with it, the more capitalism seems like a death cult.

My understanding is that it's a no in both cases by default. AFAIK watching in Freetube doesn't even add to a videos number of views.
