  • They are supposed to, except that the water companies just chuck half of into rivers, untreated, to protect their profit margins, and until very recently got away with it scot free.

  • Lifetime of earnings not enough for UK workers to join wealthiest 10%, report says

  • Whilst I agree with your statement, the research is using this as a measure of wealth inequality. 20 years ago a sudden windfall equal to 38 years of the average salary would put you in the top 10 percent. Now it would take 52 years. It's illustrating the change in wealth gap.

  • Flock’s Gunshot Detection Microphones Will Start Listening for Human Voices

    Jump

  • Agreed. I wasn't being dismissive of the problem. It's bad IMO, and it's already widespread.

  • I can think of another company with microphones all over the place, mostly in living rooms and attached to front doors.

  • Whilst this answer is correct, it's not entirely accurate, because it is dismissive of the root cause. The logical follow-up question is: "Why is energy billed in kWh?". If the question/cycle answer continues down this line there will probably be an answer like "because

    <some person>

    had to make a decision once, and they chose this because of

    <some reason>

    , and now we're all stuck with it because of convention."

    Anyone who doesn't understand what joules are probably doesn't understand what kWh are either. If the billing convention (and every other power consumption label) used joules (of course MJ or GJ) instead, then most people would just accept that as the unit of billing and measurement, and those who understand what the units mean would have an easier time of it.

  • I am glad someone else has noticed this. Why is my TV's power consumption reported in kWh/1000 hours?

  • The internet kind of sucks right now

  • Perplexity provides references for its claims, which is better than most others.

  • It seemed pretty fitting for someone with your username tbh.

  • I wonder if there is a refill cartridge with the flavour in it that the OS reads from to always display the right logo. Or maybe a touchscreen that the workers use to change it manually.

  • It could just be a backlit panel that you place a semi-transparent logo in front. Could be magnetic or slid into place. More resources than a sticker but probably far less than a system-on-a-chip running an OS and displaying the same picture on a monitor all day.

  • I agree with all you wrote, and it's a good point well made. However, in the context of what it's replying to, it could be interpreted as condoning the death penalty for extremists, which I disagree with, if it was intended that way.

  • I won't use Ubuntu Desktop now, but I used it for 6 years: 16 to 22, and loved it for many reasons. I left it for two reasons:

    1. Snaps
    2. Trying to get bridged networking going for VMs in Boxes ended up wrecking my network settings and I couldn't get them back to normal. With more expertise I could have probably fixed it, but I realised it's too easy to do things that I can't fix.

    So, I went to NixOS for the declarative setup. It's not always easy especially for niche cases , but at least I always have a working backup. Yes, there are other options, but I like NixOS so I plan to stick with it for now.

    My kids use Bazzite and I like that too.

  • Me too, since 2016. I dabbled in dual-booting on and off since about 2k, but went full Linux in 2016 and have never looked back.

  • Bisexual Flowers

    Jump

  • Bisexuality usually refers to sexual preference, alongside homosexuality and heterosexuality. Shouldn't this post be referring to the flower as hermaphroditic rather than bisexual?
