  • I wish more organisations would remove themselves from this platform, however it seems that they are deeply embedded and it's an accepted communications channel with their customers/public.

  • It's unfortunate that they missed out on Trade Union recognition at the Coventry facility recently. I'm sure GMD (or others) will keep on trying though.

  • What does Ublock Origin do with cookies?

    Jump

  • I did check that out and their web page. It says

    When it's needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what's easier to do)

    So maybe I'll test it alongside Ublock.

  • It's something I should research more then.

    As far as laws go, I'm in the UK and AFIAK privacy laws are still the same as before we left the EU. Other countries such as the US seem to have less strict laws (apart from the CCPA) which means a lot of US news sites I visit will geoblock me as they don't want to comply with EU standards.

  • I class myself as having similar experience to your friend having used Power Basic and Turbo Pascal mainly under DOS. I was able to use tkinter to produce some simple gui front-ends to produce dialogue boxes, process data and feed it to GnuPlot.

  • The Best way to switch to Linux is to NOT

    Jump

  • Is it people that want to switch away from Windows or switch to Linux?

    In my case it was the former, having spent a lot of time on FreeBSD so in 2007 I bought a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.3. This gave me most of what I wanted and when I needed something Windows (XP) specific I installed a VM running under Parallels, then Virtual Box. I was able to run most of the open source software at that time such as Open Office, Firefox, Thunderbird in preference to the Apple supplied apps.
