Re: Best to stay away from US politics.. you havent a clue what you are talking about

Imagine if half your country only read the Daily Mail (turned upto 11) and then you gave them a vote on eg, leaving the Eu, based only on a slogan that could fit on a hat.

I think that's pretty much what happened, except it was a red bus rather than a red hat.

Re: Best to stay away from US politics.. you havent a clue what you are talking about

88% turnout looks mighty suspicious in state that could barely get into the low 70's even with the most popular Dem candidate in generations.

It does, but it wasn't an 88% turnout or a 101% turnout or any other fake-news bullshit you've swallowed hook, line, and sinker.

Re: Dreadful?

Windows Sandbox replaces files inside the VM which never change on a default Windows install with hardlinks back to the host's C drive, so it's proof if any were needed that modern-day Windows is pretty bloated.

Bring back the drive slot on the right-hand side I say.

Re: Support right-to-repair legislation

If you're talking about NewPipe the bottle-neck is F-Droid approval. You can download it from github but as the signature is different you can't just update over 20.1 to 20.2, you'll have to goto Settings > Content > Export, export everything, uninstall 20.1, install 20.2 and import.

And then you'll have the opposite problem, you won't be able to update it from F-Droid, you'll have have to download from github from then on unless you go back to F-Droid's signature using the same procedure.

At the moment as the video list works and I can't be bothered with that palaver so I just share to Firefox to play it.

Re: Justice?

You don't want to go there. There would have been chaos with Ed Milliband.

Re: A sign of the times

I think I said last year that it's 50/50 whether the US will end up like Gilead. Nothing's happened since then to make me change my mind.

Maybe if you put OpenWrt on it you could do something with it. 1.0 and 1.5 | 2.0 Type A | 2.0 Type B | All versions

Re: meh

I think now it's just a critical mass of bastards, both MPs and civil servants. Certainly the Home Office has been for some time but now it's spreading like a virus.

Re: Keeping watching the birdies everyone

International legislation can't be changed, the effect is the UK doesn't do what it agreed to do and each time it happens the country looks more untrustworthy.

Moody's downgraded the UK partly because of this the other day. You can jump over the FT paywall via this Twitter link.

Re: Laws not needed in UK

So - the obvious question we need answered is why are the government still bothering?

For the same reason as the Home Office cases and IR35 appeals that drag on for years, I imagine. Because they can and they don't want to lose.

Re: Teams!

Try and search your chat history in Teams. Nine times out of ten you get just the line it found without any lines around it, where the where the answer you want to find is. It's been like this for years and they've still not fixed it.

Re: Bye lads....

They do, because non-EU foreigners can have residency in the UK or Ireland and still need a visa (Schengen or otherwise) to visit other EU countries. E.g. Australians resident in London with a UK work visa still need visas to visit the rest of the EU.

This won't change after Brexit, except British citizens may need to apply as well. It depends on what Schengen area countries and each individual non-Schengen country decide to do afterwards.

William Shatner has prepared. He's looked into it and won't be beaming down any tribbles to the UK from his orbiting store.

UK folks; looks like your government is wanting to force vendors outside of your country to collect VAT on orders being shipped to the UK staring 1 Jan. I had my staff investigate costs & it’s over £1000/yr just to file these forms via a service. That’s too much for a small store to absorb or we would have to raise prices considerably. Unfortunately unless something happens to change that we will suspend accepting orders from the UK at ShatnerStore.com starting January 1st. I’m sorry.

Re: Latest from the PM

What he should be saying is the UK should prepare for an Afghanistan-style deal because the EU has agreements with Australia to facilitate trade even though it doesn't have a full trade agreement with Australia yet. Also, the EU will probably get a full trade agreement with Australia before the UK does.

Re: Bye lads....

Indeed, that's why I used the word "could".

Re: Bye lads....

It could be ETIAS (electronic visa) when it comes online in 2022. Until then there's the French Consulate General in Dublin (if you have Irish residency) or London (if you have Northern Irish residency) if the Brexit talks to pear shaped.

Re: I've seen the movie just few days ago

They need the dramatics to get the normies to watch it. Just grin and bear it, it's for a good cause.
