I really like GNOME but I just find desktop UI to be frustrating. Moving to the top left corner and then having to go to the bottom to see your apps is just dogshit. You can install mods and stuff to make it better but for everything you install you’re increasing the likelihood of bugs and incompatibilities that only increase over time, especially if the mods stop getting updated.

I do however like everything else. The settings are far more sensible, the KDE ones look like they started sensible and they’ve just kept on adding crap and moving stuff. It needs overhauling. The apps however are absolutely bang on and they’ve got totally the right idea. Included apps should be lightweight and cover everything you might need as a casual user, and if you want something more specialist you can go and find an alternative. All the KDE stuff is a mess; they’re all way too complicated, there’s overlapping functionality, and nothing gets updated. Unfortunately the GNOME apps just don’t look right outside of GNOME.

The idea of not securing your car in some way seems absolutely mental. This was the fault of the parents.

I had some friends who would go on holiday and come back with VHS tapes with badly photocopied covers. The films were really bad quality as well. I was too young to understand what piracy was so I just thought that really bad videos were normal in the country to which they were going.

I print car parts with PETG. I lived in Morocco for a while and everything was fine. Load bearing parts inside the car would probably struggle over time but I didn’t have any problems.

Every device has parental controls on it now, but they need to be switched on.

I read the article it says the lobbying organisation behind air con, etc, doesn’t actually want this. They’d rather investment went towards newer tech as supplies of the old materials are dwindling.

I don’t get this knee-jerk hate. He’s a big advocate for climate control. He’s preaches about is so much Parliament stopped reading his letters and inviting him in.

They said details will be released once it’s been patched. If somebody has an Apple priv sec they’re not going to giving it away for free.

No Mans Sky is my chill game.

It’s weird that he thinks that “passage” justifies a country in what it’s doing. In the Bible it was God who said that, not a person. It’s like he thinks the US is equivalent to God.

If there’s this baked in idea that when they make an online only game it’s eventually going to have to have server software open sourced or disable online checks, they’ll soon adapt.

Yeah, doesn’t bother me. I’ll just leave it crunching a boring problem while I go away and make a cup of tea or chat some shit.

Why are booking.com acting like it’s not their place to say where people can and cannot travel to? They’re settlements internationally recognised as being illegal, it’s basic handling stolen property.

Most countries don’t even call that bacon; that’s streaky bacon. Proper bacon is what Canadians have.

But I’d go for 4.

The guy who created Father Ted is a massive right winger and probably supports Israel so not a perfect move.

Actually, after writing that I checked and he’s really annoyed by this, so maybe it’s a double win.

Why is it always Twilight Princess that gets this treatment?

I will play devil’s advocate and note that when you own a home you are responsible for all the costs of the house, not just the mortgage. I’ll see myself out.

I think it’s a joke.

I have a rule that if I try to tell an anecdote but get stopped/interrupted twice then I just stop and leave it for another day.
