Autofill is total shit I agree, but I've been copying and pasting from my password manager for over a decade and it's been fine. I get that autofill would be much less friction, but I really don't mind copying and pasting.

It's funny because this means that Aldi has better quality food than Tesco. That's not something I would have thought before. Before, I would have just assumed Aldi was cheaper, but now I assume that Aldi is cheaper AND better.

I looked into spray foam insulation but not only were there lots of risks, but it was more expensive than traditional warm roof insulation with PIR boards or similar. I do think people should research what they put in their own homes as it wasn't hard to find information that ruled out spray foam insulation fairly quickly.

Having said that, there is clearly some sort of regulatory gap here as not being able to mortgage your home is a very serious consequence of a relatively small and seemingly innocuous home improvement decision.

I guess most won't bother to read the full post and will instead react negatively to the title.

Exactly, it talks about ads in one paragraph of a very long post, and it's mostly to talk about all the problems that an ad revenue model has for FOSS!

Honestly people need to RTFArticle. It's talking about the result of interviews with developers on how they would prefer to be compensated, not definitive plans for what is or is not going to be allowed in F-Droid in the future.

I love ESR for what he did for us when we were struggling around 8th, but this is great money for a player who hasn't been able to compete at the level we need. Very sad to see him go but clear we need to move on, and £34m and the freed up wages might make all the difference to our incomings.

Basically poor kids aren't allowed to go on holiday. Aren't allowed to go during term time, can't afford to go during holidays. It's such a dystopic rule.

Shoreditch is more East by North East I'd say.

Sounds like you're in the UK, if so I'd recommend legit companies run by old nerds like Mythic Beasts: https://www.mythic-beasts.com/domains

Same here. Works great, incredibly cheap too.

I really hope this is what is happening, but I worry that Tom Hamilton is too much of a Labour insider to see this objectively. I know he cites some neutral (BBC) and right wing (Fraser Nelson / The Spectator) pick up of the lies, but I won't feel comfortable until I see someone like Iain Dale talking about it on LBC.

Starmer's really ballsed this up hasn't he. First unambiguous unforced error (some might say letting Elphicke into the party was an error but it's clear what the logic was there).
