I said to myself about 20 minutes in that I’d take a point. I never really wavered from that, even after the red.

Why oh why can’t we just get a nice season without any injury setbacks?!

This is a good summary. At this point I am too deeply invested in to NextCloud to switch to a different thing, as I’ve switched my whole family off OneDrive now and I just cba to go through that again. I can handle it being dogshit and I’ve got used to it’s bugs - a form of stockholm syndrome. I suspect a lot of people are similar to me - we use NextCloud because it’s the biggest name and has been around forever, not because it’s what we want.

Anyway, performance is clearly a problem, and has been since I started on OwnCloud 10 years ago. I wish the devs would do something to improve it but again, having used it for 10 years, I know that they won’t. When it finally blows up I’ll move to something else I guess.

don’t threaten me with a good time

Calling that shopping centre “iconic” and “legendary” is hilarious.

The proposals have received 784 responses from the public, comprising 105 objections, 637 responses in support and 42 neutral comments.

637 out of 784 in support is pretty overwhelming.

Octopus Energy are having a free hour of electricity today, so I turned the heat pump and electric heater on just now. It got down to 19.5 in the morning, which is far too cold for me…

The OSA should have been explicitly worded to exclude organisations like the Wikimedia Foundation from its scope. Clearly the intent of the law was not to clamp down on the Wikimedia Foundation, so the law should have been written such that the Wikimedia Foundation fell clearly outside of its scope. It’s just very poorly drafted.

I’ve read the act and it’s not clear at all. There is a legal risk if you run a small site about a legal subject with a comment section or forum now that didn’t exist before, which was not the stated intent of the law, and which results from the legislation being poorly drafted.

I’m totally with you on not strapping batteries to my feet. That feels like a good rule to live by for anyone.

This is so fucked up.

They added: “The building has been intensively occupied since it opened over seven years ago. It is a multi-million-pound refurbishment …”

wtf? You opened the building SEVEN YEARS AGO, and you need to completely refurbish it already?! How fucking shit must you be at owning and managing a building to need to spend millions of pounds to redo it SEVEN FUCKING YEARS after opening the building?!?!

This company shouldn’t be allowed to exist, let alone fuck up the course of 150 people’s lives. Absolute scum.

It doesn’t actually give any examples of removed posts or screenshots of the reasons why? Surely it can’t just be because a town name happens to contain “lsd” in the middle of it?

Autofill is total shit I agree, but I’ve been copying and pasting from my password manager for over a decade and it’s been fine. I get that autofill would be much less friction, but I really don’t mind copying and pasting.

It’s funny because this means that Aldi has better quality food than Tesco. That’s not something I would have thought before. Before, I would have just assumed Aldi was cheaper, but now I assume that Aldi is cheaper AND better.

I looked into spray foam insulation but not only were there lots of risks, but it was more expensive than traditional warm roof insulation with PIR boards or similar. I do think people should research what they put in their own homes as it wasn’t hard to find information that ruled out spray foam insulation fairly quickly.

Having said that, there is clearly some sort of regulatory gap here as not being able to mortgage your home is a very serious consequence of a relatively small and seemingly innocuous home improvement decision.

I guess most won’t bother to read the full post and will instead react negatively to the title.

Exactly, it talks about ads in one paragraph of a very long post, and it’s mostly to talk about all the problems that an ad revenue model has for FOSS!

Honestly people need to RTFArticle. It’s talking about the result of interviews with developers on how they would prefer to be compensated, not definitive plans for what is or is not going to be allowed in F-Droid in the future.

Yeah, we run ours overnight.

I love ESR for what he did for us when we were struggling around 8th, but this is great money for a player who hasn’t been able to compete at the level we need. Very sad to see him go but clear we need to move on, and £34m and the freed up wages might make all the difference to our incomings.

Basically poor kids aren’t allowed to go on holiday. Aren’t allowed to go during term time, can’t afford to go during holidays. It’s such a dystopic rule.

Shoreditch is more East by North East I’d say.

Sounds like you’re in the UK, if so I’d recommend legit companies run by old nerds like Mythic Beasts: https://www.mythic-beasts.com/domains

I’m sadly still on FTTC (60Mbps in practice), but my neighbour 4 doors down, on the next telephone pole along, has 1.8 gigabit. I have no idea when they’ll come back and do my pole. Story of my life you could say.
