The cruelty is the point

Banning phones is the practical policy. Schools could not police the myriad of apps and websites.

There was nothing coherent to understand. A rag tag coalition mainly built on delusional positions.

- we can have all the trade benefits without freedom of movement (specifically denied by EU at the time, didn't materialise)

- we will have 'more trade' afterwards (fails to understand how trade works)

- we won't have to follow EU rules (in reality, we can't really diverge that much from how the EU works without incurring penalties)

- we won't have to pay anything to them / we hold all the cards / ... (we did pay for our liabilities and we definitely didn't hold the cards)

- we can become much more left wing if we leave the neoliberal EU (fails to account for the fact our country isn't particularly left wing overall)

- politicians will have to take responsibility/can't blame the EU (brexiteers keep blaming the EU even now, BJ et.al. have faced minimal or no consequences for their actions)

- we can fish again (ignores relative importance of fishing vs the actually productive economy, disregards that EU is a big market for said fish)

What do you suggest we engage with?

XP x64 was a lovely desktop, and was essentially 2k3 desktop. Last Windows system I enjoyed using.

What happened is that the remain side had to fight on the side of a reality that existed and the Brexiteers made up a fantasy future that has failed to materialise.

For more on how modern engines work (although the core idea of alpha-beta pruning [1] is still used) you can check out the chess programming wiki [2].

I suspect the “l” parameter is for observed latency as the client displays observed latency from the server.

A strange thing is you can specifically donate to Thunderbird, but not to Firefox.

I never quite understood why Mozilla seems more interested in other things vs Firefox (the browser, not the other Firefox branded things).

It's been a while but I used this with a USB to serial and a console cable for accessing Cisco switches/routers console.

There is the vim adventures site https://vim-adventures.com/ but it doesn’t sound quite like what you are looking for.

This is a competitive post par excellence, for politeness, accuracy and still doing a great job of demonstrating fly.io's key competitive points vs MRSK.

I'd love it if all 'vs' and competitive marketing was this good.

There’s a difficult asymmetry in that it takes much longer to build in house expertise that it does to privatise it.

Privatisation also often allows a short term financial boost at long term net expense.

M1/M2 Mac or a Raspberry Pi?

One suspects that even some of the people behind this effort are skeptical, when you read between the lines.

As with the rest of crypto, 99% a solution in search of a problem.

Banking in the U.K. isn’t perfect but for the majority of consumers it’s quick, easy and convenient and by and large fee free.

Do your own research is in this case code for it hasn’t happened.

The closest you can find is: - the hostile environment denying immigrants banking services (while an obvious injustice, unrelated to their political views) [1] - seizures etc related to crime (including terrorism)

Most denials of banking services are due to poor credit history and as mentioned in this thread Basic Bank accounts exist as a mandated product to serve this market.

You can see some of the reasons why around a million U.K. adults are unbanked through this research and evidence [2] - suspiciously not appearing on this list is anything with even a hint of denial due to political belief or actions.

So please do enlighten us of all these alleged cases of politically motivated un-banking.

Is there a good theme for KDE that hews closely to the w2k/w2k3 look and feel?

I have fond memories of using wxpx64 which was basically w2k3 desktop edition.

Tridactyl does the job for most websites pretty well as for text heavy sites like documentation it’s very good.
