As a Brit, it’s comforting to know that other countries are also sliding towards fascism. At least we won’t be alone!

Jellyfin is A-ok for the tech illiterate. I actually think it might be easier to navigate and use because it’s a bit more simple than Plex.

Today I realised my waterproof coat is no longer waterproof…

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

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It has been a while since I used Usenet, so instead of giving you possibly out of date info I will just link to this FYFM section which has way more info than I can give.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

London is already the third most surveilled city in the world with 73 cameras per 1000 people. So yeah, we’re not that far behind.

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.

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!

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.

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

If you’re willing to take the plunge and spend more time in the terminal you could give neovim a try.

To turn it into an IDE contender you can use LazyVim to automatically setup a bunch of quality of life improvements.

It’s a bit of a commitment to learn but it is super rewarding when you get it.

Looks like next year you will have to fire up a windows VM and play a game for 5 minutes, and then safely return to the warm embrace of your cosy Linux system.

If you haven’t already, try and find a zero waste shop near you, the kind of place where you take your own containers and fill it up with what you need.

Me and my partner made it a part of our routine to visit once a month, and we have successfully replaced a bunch of our household items with zero plastic options.

I ain’t seen shit!
