The spoon is too small, at least by lemmygrad’s standards.

Overall pretty good, but I disagree with point #2.

Land lording

Stock trading

Product Scalping

etc.

Yeah, there’s still plenty of issues I have with my framework laptop, but I’m ultimately happier with it than I would’ve been will Dell, Lenovo, Asus, etc.

I thought the hardware term was called a “paper launch”

I have been using Linux since the windows 8 days, and still see no reason to return.

I pay around £15 per month in membership fees at my Union. But if it weren’t for them, I’d have lost my house when the energy companies hiked their prices, end everyone else did the same to compensate.

Was it garaunteed that they’d win these negotiations? No.

Would I have been better off begging to my managers? Fuck no.

Don’t get too excited, when it comes to domestic politics, they’re still all the same.

Not the collective ownership of everything, just the collective ownership (and eventual abolition) of private property, which differs from personal property in that they are assets which are used for the purpose of capital accumulation (e.g factories, real estate, farms, supermarkets, etc.)

If you bought CSGO, you automatically got access to prime mode when the game went free to play.

It’s a separate matchmaking pool that puts you in servers filled with only other people who also bought the game, substantially reducing the likelihood of encountering cheaters and bots who just make endless free accounts.

This also carries over into CS2 as far as I’m aware.

It’s actually cheaper than getting an Amazon Ring too, provided you already have mains access from an existing doorbell, and a 3d printer on hand.

I have a pi zero running as a doorbell camera, alongside a couple more CCTV cameras, and a pi4 running in kiosk mode connected to my motioneye server displaying said camera streams on a crappy old TV in my home office.

YouTube is already far ahead on that front.

I remember when any ad over 15 seconds was skippable after 5. Now, if I turn adblock off, I may receive dual minute-long unskippable ads, even less than 5 minutes apart on an hour long video.

It’s actually more egregious than cable TV

Either a bot, or sky high.

Nowadays, Its actually harder to find a game that flat out won’t work. Thanks to Proton, the only games that you can’t play on linux are ones that the developer has specifically forbidden from working on linux via whatever AC they use.

The comment at the time I replied said “how are things over there”, without the “in canada” bit.

I assumed that because he mentioned that he became a canadian citizen, that he was currently living in canada, and because the post is about a UK policy, that wanted to know more of what it was like in the UK currently in case he ever wanted to come back.

And while I am aware that we live in a parliamentary system, I find calling it a democracy, like most tend to do, is pretty ridiculous if we only get to participate in it for a few minutes every five years, and afterwards, whoever wins isn’t held to account when they end up failing in their duty to represent the people who elect them.

Did you receive an election ballot for either Sunak or Truss? 'Cause I didn’t.

We live under capitalism. When profits are threatened, human rights go out the window.

Housing is an example of property given freely in Socialist states such as the USSR and PRC.

Hell, if even North Korea can do it, why can’t we?

It may be nice having rights like that, but if you can’t even exercise them, what’s the point to begin with if your material conditions remain untouched?
