A lot of good points - the minimal switch is a great idea - but needing to use a screwdriver to open the case and swap batteries, while still only being IP55, feels like a step in the wrong direction.

Yeah, I really dislike the marketing direction they've taken recently. Hype-fuelled consumption really doesn't fit with what they do.

It is, but it's usually only available on the live version running off a USB to make it easier to modify the drives.

Does anyone else find a bit odd to phrase basic labour rights as 'perks'?

I appreciate it would be easier not to have to, but as you can get usb c to 3.5/aux converters, is that not an option?

[–] hellothere@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah that's a better way of phrasing it.

It always comes across to me as a very american thing, specifically trying to make something feel older than it actually is.

I'm something like HelloThere XV because the firstborn son in my family has had the same name since at least the 1700s - even across language when we got forcibly relocated for sheep.

Would my future son be XVI? Sure - but they won't have the actual numerals.

A - UK uses Trident, an American launch system, so it's likely that any attack against America by the UK would somehow be disabled

B - that's not how MAD works. If France, or the UK, launched anything nuclear the retaliation would be immediate and immense.

C - why try to invade 11 million canadians when there are only a few tens of thousands of greenlanders? If an intra-NATO war happens, that's the more likely one imo.

So, 15 years instead of the usual 20?

I mean, this is so over the top, but I kinda love it as an idea.

I've spoken to them twice, no issues and very happy with the service both times.

First time was due to a website bug when the FP4 was released and 16 orders went through and were charged to my card. All cancelled and refunded with no delays.

Second time was due to an issue with a fairbud, which had to be sent away for repair, and again was very easy.

Yeah. Sure.

 

It’s midnight on the edge of Clapham Common in early September. The streets are eerily quiet as a shadowy figure in black shirt, shorts and baseball cap emerges from the common. He is wearing a red face mask, his features, except for some blond locks, hidden from view.

 

Petrified fucking terror. That's the first thing you think when you look at Labour. A barely-concealed, buttoned-up, can't-sleep-at-night anxiety, lurking just behind the eyes. They're scared they'll fluff it. They're scared that in the white heat of the election campaign, the Tories will find some policy in their manifesto to weaponise against them and the whole thing will come crashing down.

 

If so, what do you think? The idea of a modern No Mercy sounds very tempting.
