The way “Conservative” is used in America is different to other countries. Usually its an economic position, but in America its bound up with views on gun control, immigration, abortion, and pro corporate anti union power.

it only makes citizens vulnerable, and who cares about those peasants?

Considering TOR was originally a CIA project, I wouldn’t be completely surprised if Signal was funded by a secret agency too.

FINALLY it gets reported in the MSM!

I do hope that THIS we’ll at least hire an American-owned private company to do the reactive action in an incompetent and massively overpriced way?

I think I read somewhere recently that something like £200mn spent on ADHD support would save £2bn in crime and benefits expenses.

I’m pulling those figures out of my arse btw. But it was something like that

Same day appointments aren’t the issue. I’d settle for an appointment in 3 days time as long as I could make an appointment when I’m not commuting on public transport

You think that’s bad? (it is, though possibly it’s evidence linked to an ongoing investigation and they don’t want to tip off the suspects)

But Britain has had secret courts for a couple of decades now. Completely secret. We’ve no idea what’s going on, just that people are being convicted for presumed terrorism offences, and we don’t know what happens to them after. Complete media blackout apart from one article I’ll try and find…

Edit: found! https://www.vice.com/en/article/inside-britains-secret-courts-101/

The government can make compulsory purchases of land and buildings. Pay him off once, then sell the properties once they’re no longer needed would be a sensible thing to do.

Sure, but they’re redistributing from the middle, not the top. It’s not nothing, but the ultra rich will remain ultra rich, leeching from the country as they do so

[Edit - it wasn’t me who downvoted you, FWIW]

Er… bullshit. If they were left wing, they’d put back in a wealth tax and increase CGT at the VERY least.

Maybe I’ve just had bad luck. I had an issue where my second monitor wasn’t being detected at all in Linux, but was fine in Windows. There was a fix, fortunately someone in a forum had the same issue, but it was a command line fix. And IIRC it wasn’t permanent either - I think I had to retype it on reboot.

I also have a 3 button mouse with the middle button set to double click in Windows. There was no linux driver for it. I’m sure its possible to get it working, but quite how, I’ve no idea.

Basically I’ve installed various flavours of Linux maybe 5 times, and each time had to abort and go back to windows after a day or two because I couldn’t find how to fix a particular issue.

For me, I’ve been using Windows for so long that when I want to change something, there’ll be a UI for it somewhere. In Linux, you have to learn a bunch of text commands and modifiers. And if you don’t already know what they are, you don’t know what to search for to find them.

One of these days I’ll learn out of necessity. Until then, Windows it just too convenient

Sadly, the Fascists are going global :(

All trackers etc on websites to be off by default, with a single request to turn them on permitted, with “No!” as a big green button and “yes” as a small grey one.

Sometimes it’s the only decent search result

Apparently Tony Blair had links to Epstein too, but there’s only one official record of them meeting and he, or rather a spokesman, denies any others

I’m not clear what the actual threat to people in the west is? They’re costing us jobs and some wealth, presumably… is that it?

I suppose I vaguely care about film adaptations of videogames in general. Interesting that there’s so few good ones
