Today I realised my waterproof coat is no longer waterproof…

I just got back from seeing Moulin Rouge. It was quite good.

Yep

They’re not false, but they don’t show the whole picture, as one paragraph seldom can.

If you are referring the action in Runcorn, of which they are said to have “stormed, scaled, and occupied” the premises of the military equipment manufacturer at 4.30am, I wouldn’t say that counts as violence. I would say that violence is typically considered harm to a person or people, not windows and drones.

We have ‘freedom of expression’ as outlined in the 1998 Human Rights Act. The HRA says that we are free to express ourselves as we see fit so long as it is within the confines of the law.

We have relatively strong hate speech laws as outlined in the 1986 Public Order Act, which makes it an offense to “[make] threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviours that causes, or is likely to cause, another person harassment, alarm or distress” and “language that encourages terrorism”.

Recently a non-violent pro-Palestine, activist group (Palestine Action) was prescribed as a terrorist group, making it illegal to support any of their actions.

You can use a VPN to negate this check. For now…

Fastfetch is configurable via a config file

Fastfetch Wiki

Here are some ideas

Fastfetch themes

I don’t see the issue here, it says Fast Internet Switch. Why would it lie like that?

It has been a while since I used Usenet, so instead of giving you possibly out of date info I will just link to this FYFM section which has way more info than I can give.

In particular I found this guide to be fairly easy to follow.

As for using a VPN: it can’t hurt!

My gut reaction to this article was probably the same as a lot of people here “this is just baby boomers complaining about younger people again” and it kinda is, but it’s mostly a targeted parliamentary review into the effects of ageism on the older generation, and I would expect the government to do a similar review on the younger generation, if they haven’t already.

I do believe that pinning negative stereotypes on whole generations is wrong. It was wrong when the boomers did it to the millenials, it is wrong when millenials do it to gen z, and it’s wrong to go the other way.

Where does all the power and wealth concentrate? Amongst the boomers and older Gen x. Are they all wealthy and powerful? Fuck no! We’re all being exploited by the top 0.1% of the population, let’s not forget that.

I probably should have seen that already.

Thank you

Does anyone have a link to a technical review of DeepSeek? Dataset analysis for example. All I have managed to find so far are articles about how much of a “disrupter” this will be.

FF14 is my top pick for a pleasant and active MMO experience.

I have been looking into setting up a pixelfed server, but I don’t know if I could afford to run it at the moment.

Well, to be fair it wasn’t just her. Kwasi Kwarteng helped too!

Personally, I love to tinker (especially on my main machine) so I don’t mind the complexities of setting up neovim. However, I do mess around with a bunch of servers, and I like to edit code on those servers, meaning I am often installing/compiling neovim and copying over my config before I can get to work.

What I am liking about helix is the idea that its default setup has what I need to get started straight away.

I am looking forward to giving helix a go.

That’s a good enough excuse for me to try it! Thanks.

No positive change happened as a result of 2008, and I doubt any change will happen if there was an equal or even greater crash now.

The only way change will happen is if people demand it. The collective trauma of WW2 was enough to bring about change almost as if the populous went “That was shit, now we deserve something better”. That, and the fear of communist thought taking hold pushed the governing class to action.

Just out of interest, what are the reasons someone would move from neovim to helix?

It’s about a 24 minute walk or a 17 minute journey by bus
