  • UK becomes BYD’s largest international market after sales surge

    Jump

  • I see them around all the time these days. I wouldn't dream of buying a car that says 'build your dreams' on it but that's not on all models.

  • Talk about choosing "a community", not "a server"

    Jump

  • Maybe neighborhood?

    Showing my age, that reminds me of Geocities.

  • Talk about choosing "a community", not "a server"

    Jump

  • I feel like that's getting there, though 'home' doesn't sit right with me somehow; too many other connotations (after all it's still somebody else's server, unless you're self-hosting it, you're still using it on their terms so it's not a 'home' in a typical sense).

    Maybe 'gateway' or something like that?

  • Vegan Politician Zack Polanski Elected New Green Party Leader In Landslide Victory

    Jump

  • It's good to assume good intent I think. Your response was non sequitur, it felt the most charitable to assume you either innocently responded to the wrong person or had some clarification to offer if not.

    Is anyone NOT steaming their Music?

    Jump

  • No, I have to own my music if I'm going to enjoy it; the thought of a company being able to take away music that I love takes away the enjoyment. I need at least the files and the backups under my control. It's not even about price, I would still buy CDs and rip them if that was the only way.

  • LibreOffice turns 15: a celebration of freedom, collaboration and open technologies and standards

    Jump

  • It's a massive disservice to open source that they keep it on life support, LibreOffice is a great modern office suite but much of the public still recognise the OpenOffice name and are drawn to it instead, shame on Apache.

  • 'Read' and its past tense are spelled the same. How should they be spelled?

    Jump

  • Fast can mean moving with great speed or fixed securely in place (among other things).

  • BBC under fresh pressure over extent of Reform UK coverage

    Jump

  • You're doing it yourself.

  • BBC under fresh pressure over extent of Reform UK coverage

    Jump

  • Repeat something enough and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. First it was "Jeremy Corbyn is unelectable", now it's "Nigel Farage is on course to be the next Prime Minister". Same thing.

  • What do you call these?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'm sure you're right, my comment about transformers I guess was more about colloquial usage, i.e. rightly or wrongly we called DC power supplies transformers in the 90s. I also don't know how local that was, maybe it was just my family!

  • What do you call these?

    Jump

  • I'd call them USB adapters; "chargers" is probably slightly more common though never sat right with me since they can be used to power things other than charging.

    Or more in the past we would call any kind of power adapters "transformers" but don't seem to hear that much any more.

  • What would you consider to be the 7 browser extension Wonders of the World/Internet?

    Jump

  • What I do is have cookies set to delete by default on closing the browser, with a managed list of exceptions of sites I want to preserve.

  • What would you consider to be the 7 browser extension Wonders of the World/Internet?

    Jump

  • I only have two; uBlock Origin and Firefox Multi-Account Containers.

    Those are the only two I use all the time (I like to keep things clean and simple and avoid fingerprinting, there are others that I might enable for a specific task), and I consider them essential enough that they ought to be built into the browser.

    How do you combat boredom?

    Jump

  • But they did, I made a friendly comment, I was even self-deprecating about it, mostly to be funny, and they accused me of having prejudices. I don't take well to being called prejudiced, I'm not and hate people who are. Then they randomly brought up racism, that was a weird exchange.

  • No. OK, you're not being a rational person here so goodbye.

    How do you combat boredom?

    Jump

  • Well mine was a tongue in cheek comment too, and I thought quite friendly and fun, and then you decided to call me prejudiced. The main point I was picking up on was mindless internet scrolling which is something I do when I'm unhealthily managing my boredom, it's a warning sign for me, maybe it's not for you, but I thought I would share my perspective, as I did in a non-judgemental way. Masturbation is perfectly fine, it can be healthy, it can be not, when combined with mindless internet scrolling it didn't sound healthy to me but that's just me. I don't get fishing either but I wouldn't judge someone for it, just like I didn't judge you, but you responded like I did judge you, it's like we're on Reddit or something.

    Jump

  • Why, do you know me from somewhere? The key word there is "seems"; if you truly get fulfilment from mindless Internet scrolling, pot and masturbation then go for it. That's just not my experience. When you posted that here did you not expect other people to share their own perspectives?
