This is why you also need gap insurance for anything but the cheapest cars. It exists to prevent this situation.

Abolish copper coins. Job done :-)

I have no comment on the truth or otherwise of the allegations but surely between this and the Zelensky Oval Office meeting only a fool of a world leader would accept an invitation from Trump to the Whitehouse. To go as a guest and be ambushed and treated like that.

I’m not advanced, just a distrohopper for fun :-) but NixOs seemed excellent, you install like an other os, open the config file and write a list of what you want installed, rebuild and it’s all there. Then use it just like any other distro. That seems a good experience to me and if you are just a simple desktop user like me what else would you ever need to do? Am I right that all the homemanager and flakes business is optional and for people with more complicated requirements?

thanks, that's comprehensive, I recommend it at least :-)

I agree it is great, but am I the only one running Opensuse MicroOS?

The funny thing is only the UK plug design is any good, all others are so much worse they should just give up and go home.

I wouldn't say dogshit, I would say the results are good enough for most purposes, not great, my priority just as the moment is dumping USA based companies and I thought Ecosia planting trees was a nice touch. Although as someone else pointed out it is still possibly using crawlers from google and bing in the background. I'm still keen to try out other search engines.

I stopped using Google at the same time I closed my accounts with Facebook, instagram, Reddit and Amazon. Currently I'm using Ecosia which I think is German. I’m dumping all the US companies I can based on all the Trump crap. It is taking time and effort but I should be able to actually close the Google account soon and I replaced windows with Linux on all but one of my PCs.

I use Opensuse MicroOS on half a dozen PCs but I keep one on Windows until I can run Fortnite on Linux.

Sure, but it needs to be because she actually committed a crime, not as a convenient way just to block someone you think might win from running. I am going to assume in this case she is guilty and was found guilty fairly.

Thankyou, I thought I was crazy because no one else sees this most obvious solution. Why do we need DST at all? If you are a farmer or a school or whatever then just change your start time as necessary. Changing the time itself for everyone twice a year is a daft approach.

Surely UTC is just a newer name for GMT and 0 is Greenwich in England? Since I’m pretty sure the UK came up with the global time zone system in the first place.

Guys if you haven’t already, I suggest doing what I did a few weeks ago and actually delete your Reddit account, not just stop using it. They need to see their registered account number plummet.

Mate, Linux is so simple my 70 year old dad can use it, I'm using opensuse (German) right now, but he is on Ubuntu (British) both are solid choices that a monkey could install and use.

I've been closing all my US based accounts recently. I was looking for a non US based Password manager service a couple of days ago. I used european-alternatives.eu and looked at a couple of options before settling on "Heylogin" it is so good I thought I had better recommend it to others.. oh and I dumped chat GPT for chat.mistral.ai a couple of weeks ago, I recommend giving it a go.

I deleted my reddit account yesterday. I used Revedit and I realised that most of the comments I had made on there had been removed or hidden without me ever realising...

That is such a lot of people, such a lot of people sufficiently motivated to spend their day protesting. What I struggle to get my head around is what they achieve. I admire them being vocal and taking action at potential risk to themselves but what I take away is that you could have a million people at a protest and it still wouldn’t magically make a government or a president stand down. Does a protest need to be part of a larger strategy to cause paralysis to the state, to cause economic pain or to orchestrate violence. Simply getting mega amounts of people to turn out seems like a massive achievement but it isn’t actually working..

I feels very Soviet Uniony, but the US has always a lot in common with Russia..

I’m going to suggest the lessor known option, Enpass, I’ve used it for maybe eight years? I paid a one off fee at the time. It’s multi platform, windows, iOS, Linux etc. It has browser plugins, there’s a Flatpak option so it’s handy for my Linux distrohopping. It supports passkeys and one time codes and you can store the data in any cloud you want..
