When we were watching it on BBC there was clearly something going on, but everything you heard was cheers. There were patches when it was very quiet and it just sounded different. When it ended Graham Norton said “I don’t know what you’re hearing at home but the reaction in the hall is very mixed”.

He claimed on Fox News that the China deal had to be done because China was about to crumble without the US.

British TV doesn’t have too many adverts, I don’t think. At least not compared to other countries. It helps that we have the BBC because if any of the other channels push their luck they know you can just watch something on the BBC channels without any adverts at all.

I remember being in American and watching a sitcom; they showed a 30 second intro skit and then they showed the opening credits, then went straight into the first ad break. I don’t think it went five minutes without ade.

Maybe let them know how many people skipped their question?

This is fine, it’s no different than when a website warns you that you’re clicking a link that takes you off the site. It gives them legal protection and stops you getting scammed.

89 million accounts with creds don’t get sold for $5,000. It’s probably just email addresses.

I’m not against some political stuff but there’s so many circlejerk opinion pieces that get posted. It’s just a bunch of people posting stuff that confirms their own beliefs, which is no better than what happens on the likes of Xitter. It’s just a different kind of echo chamber but people are okay with it because it’s left rather than right.

If you download Bottles it has pre-fabbed Wine environments for certain software, including Fusion 360. I’ve used it occasionally for the last year although there seems to have been a recent update that’s killed it. Hopefully it’ll be fixed soon.

If you like Zorin and want to support it then just do it. Don’t let other people tell you to switch, more people should contribute.

I don’t understand the presidential library stuff (because I’m not from the US), does he get to keep the plane or does the next president get it?

I know about the themes but most of them look dated as well. I know I’m complaining about free software but it should look better out of the box. I know some people love customising but it shouldn’t be a requirement.

How does it look like Windows 10? It looks like Windows 2000.

They barely even have ties. They only started trying to improve things just before it all kicked off.

I like GNOME but I think there’s essential functionality missing from it. Fortunately the extensions fill the gap.

I know but it’s cheap.

Plasma’s growing on my and I think it definitely works better on a laptop but I just wish it looked like a modern operating system. It feels like something from the 00s at best.

OneDrive works pretty well on Linux actually. Takes a few lines of config and there’s no GUI but it’ll sync a folder nicely and run as a service.

I know everyone always says Nestlé in threads like this but what are they still doing? What damage would you save by getting rid of them?

Sounds like your partner is expecting you to read your mind, which can be an autistic thing. People with ADHD and autism tend to find each other.

On the other hand, you don’t need to be with someone if being with them is making you feel bad about yourself, it sounds like you’re just trying to cope. Not to say it’s anyone’s fault but if it’s not working it’s not working.

I think the seller themselves write the review. They basically create a fake account with someone’s details in order to generate a legitimate sale so they can leave a review. They sacrifice some of their products to get the reviews up.
