Shocking and completely unpredictable.....

Too many are helplessly dependent on MS, Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc.

They can't even imagine freedom from them.

They get their tech advice for laws from big tech.

I honestly don't understand how people don't see that. FPTP is so dangerous. We desperately need to change our voting system before we end up with a jackboot Faragist government on like 1/3 of the vote. The majority don't want that. Which isn't unusual as our voting system never gives a reflective parliament.

It will be faster. It's also cooler because of the Plan9 history. 😀

If the golf stream shuts down, it will be coming back hard.

Labour do need to reclaim more of their traditional base because if they don't, they will not vote Labour. If that's not Labour, or not vote, is much the same under FPTP in many places. Labour is the only way to keep Tories/Reform out, until we get rid of FPTP. Labour should be putting country before party and getting rid of FPTP, but they certainly won't this term. If ever.

I want FPTP gone, but until then, all we can do is vote as best we can, in the area we are in, to try and keep the worse out of power. Corybn isn't helping this, again. He was a perfect Labour leader for the Right to scare their base to rally behind Bonking Borris. Some Cons even joined Lab to vote Corybn for this reason. I know one who did exactly that and he wasn't alone.

That is why they should pay. They advertised them as flushable and they most certainly are not.

It's that their power is feeble. It's half the voltage of ours. Generally a kettle in the UK is 10 Amps. So at 220-240V that's 2.2-2.4kW. In the US they are apparently 12A, so at 110-120V that is 1.3-1.4kW. Feeble, so takes ages to boil water.

I fear gen Z brits are just watching so much America YouTube & TikTok they think that's how to do it. I really hope I'm wrong.

VirtioFS. You can share from the host to any number of VMs with that. LibVirtd is good. Even has a nice GUI in virt-manager.

The Right is split in two. If that, as I expect them to merge by election time.

The left.... so many ways. Lab, Lib, Green, SNP, Plaid and now this. And I'm probably missing some.

We a progressive country normally but our voting system and left splitting gives us mostly Tories.
