The UK was shit before Brexit, it was 14 years of austerity policies (read: cut health services, cut benefits, cut social housing, deregulation of services, legalisation of toxic dumping, I can go on…) by a right-wing “fiscally responsible” government who has left the current one with a sizeable financial black hole… that has brought the country to its knees.
If we had Brexit but still maintained public services, there’s a good chance the country would have been fine.
If everybody was fully exposed to the internet, a general consensus view on a topic would be eventually settled. The problem is that a lot of us live in walled gardens and the networks that be work to keep us in them
Who the haail, is Thomas Payne? Max Payne’s older brother?
Thanks for the informed context – I think my brain is just predisposed towards seeing such efforts as disingenuous, but I should learn to criticize companies after they do bad things, and not before.
Well, that sounds promising at least. I hope their interests continue to align with their consumer-base for another 20 years, and doesn’t nosedive into the CEO rot we’ve seen with Mozilla
I’m not really. Who are these guys and why am I hearing about them on every social media outlet.
They’re a company whose sole aim is to make money. Right now they’re in the goodwill phase of building community trust, but what’s their endgame? Is this an emerging market they’re cornering.
I know these sound like sarcastic questions, but I’m genuinely wondering.
This company sure has been making the rounds on the internet. I estimate maybe 1-2 years before they decide to cash in on their goodwill with some kind of monetary product
lmao, great comment
wait what game has water effects with water reflections?
*Mein guter lieber Kerl, Grammatik ist mir egal.
I’m pretty sure my kids will one day ask me “dad, what were the 70s like?” and it’ll dawn on me that my enthusiasm with 1970s progrock has depicted me as being far older than I am
Does Russian have stricter grammar syntax than German? I was a bit puzzled by the comparison made above
Lisp (specifically IPL) is Proto-Indo-European. All languages have unwittingly taken inspiration from it
Keep up the good and important work guys, we’re rooting for you.
it’s just for scale. for weird palmy scale
You could feed a family of five with those beefy keycaps alone
Is there any keyboard phone out there with some decent specs?
The F(x) Tec Pro1x looks really promising, but I’ve seen many youtube video reviews relating to its various hardware issues (intermittent connectivity, speakers clipping, others I cant remember). Can anyone with one tell me if it’s worth it? I just want something I can type my idle thoughts into, sync my org-mode notebooks, and type on the web.
The Astro Slide 5G looks really good, but I want a phone I hold and type instead of a keyboard I need to place down. Also the price is astronomical.
Ideally I would just shove more RAM and CPUs on my Nokia N900 and be happy as a clam, but that world doesn’t exist.
Also: Anyone know of any phones with a good hardware keyboard case add on? A shell with a keyboard that hooks in via bluetooth or USB?
On the non-keyboard front, I’m looking for a device that has a decent Lineage community around it, but also that the hardware is open enough to be mainlined by PostMarketOS.
I’m currently putting together a table of the various PmOS phones, their hardware specs, their PmOS compatibility, and the Lineage images they support.
But in the meantime, if I can get some recommendations here too. Nothing fancy: over 4 cores, 2GB ram, and can slide easily into a pocket.
I like the idea of the SHIFT6mq, due to its upgradability, but want to hear from any happy users before I do
Well, I hear you. The NHS was dependent on an international talent of overworked nurses who dried up once Brexit went into effect. That indeed would have suffered regardless under any government. But cutting benefits, awarding billions of taxpayer money to non-existent PPE firms, and generally spitting on the public could have been mitigated I feel
