I’ve just switched to Pop_OS and so far I’m really impressed. Very fast, and Cosmic desktop has a totally different design and aesthetic to any other DE

I use HeliBoard with Teams. What problem are you having?

There is a theory that if alien life exists, those organisms will be roughly our size. The reasoning is that you can’t achieve advanced civilisation without fire, and you can’t tend a fire if you’re much smaller or larger than a human.

Not my theory, but an interesting thing to consider

Fossil fuel interests seem to be a key funder of fascism. The fascists are their useful idiots

I mean, very obviously not everybody sees this, otherwise we wouldn’t have streets full of deadly vehicles would we?

Basically King William rubbing his little hands and asking “How much money is coming my way?”.

This will be like the proof of age face scans. Yes, the VIDEO is deleted, but the unique biometric code describing your face sure as hell won’t be deleted. Focusing on deleting the video has got to be a deliberate distraction

Good to remember that the client for Teams isn’t you - it’s your IT department

Yes, but… Why would a politician bother to act when it appears to them that the public are all cool with the situation?

I find the quality of discussion sadly lower than Reddit. Back therrthere you often got really thoughtful and interesting responses to posts, and indeed they were frequently more interesting than the posts themselves. Here, the quality is really poor, in general

This is Newton’s third law

Even at ELI5, I’d nuance this. Big things like fridges and washing machines use AC, most small things like phones and laptops use DC, and have to have the AC that comes out of our wall sockets converted to DC before they can use it. This wastes a bit of energy. If you can, run small appliances straight from DC to avoid those conversion losses

How very dare you? Gen X is long off Facebook - it’s our parents on there, being radicalised by Russian bots

The thing is, that was because of another bad Google decision years ago. They decided to downrate short pages in the search results (such as a page with a nice simple recipe on it), and people realised they got no hits unless they padded the page with guff.

How many incidents of cars being used as weapons is it going to take before we admit they’re dangerous and keep them away from where people are found?

Not OP, but I’m really enjoying it because it’s light and stable, and the set of MX tools it comes with are great. Their backup tool is so good that as my old laptop started to die I was easily able to transfer my entire setup to a totally different computer and pick up exactly where I’d left off

Why doesn’t he have the courage simply to say Brexit was a mistake? Everyone who disagrees with that has long abandoned Labour and saying it - something I’m sure he believes - would lose him zero votes and potentially gain him more than zero

You can’t do it overnight, no. But you can rapidly agree that it needs to be done

I recently bought a (different brand of) smart telescope and these things are great. Obviously the light-gathering capacity is much lower than traditional astrophotography setups, but the ease of use is incredible. Kudos to the engineers who make these things.

We also need to think about OP’s potential shipmates, who might not benefit from being out at sea with a rootless suicidal person. It would be more responsible for OP to get their head straight before locking themselves away with a handful of strangers miles from anywhere
