To save people the click

Microsoft announced today that it's releasing a new app called Windows App as an app for Windows that allows users to run Windows and also Windows apps (it's also coming to macOS, iOS, web browsers, and is in public preview for Android).

On most of those platforms, Windows App is a replacement for the Microsoft Remote Desktop app, which was used for connecting to a copy of Windows running on a remote computer or server—for some users and IT organizations, a relatively straightforward way to run Windows software on devices that aren't running Windows or can't run Windows natively.

The new name, though potentially confusing, attempts to sum up the app's purpose: It's a unified way to access your own Windows PCs with Remote Desktop access turned on, cloud-hosted Windows 365 and Microsoft Dev Box systems, and individual remotely hosted apps that have been provisioned by your work or school.

Whoever wins we're going to have a right wing government with insufferable fans.

In a pre Trump world, probably not.

Today? I imagine a lot of republicans would love a black man saying everything Trump says to "trigger the libs".

Doesn't Poland also have a weird law allows parents to force their children to pay a form of "alimony"?

A compromise would be to require a text summary of any video post.

There's a village not far from me called Shitterton. It's actually quite nice despite the name.

Sure, start with the Palace of Westminster 😉

TL;DR: they can only call fibre to the home (FTTH) fibre now, not fibre to the cabinet (FTTC)

In the UK it's illegal to pay blood or plasma donors, and I think the only time we've had a shortage is due to a cyber attack.

I think they do give you a medal or something after donating a certain number of times though.
