I'm not 100% on this, but I've heard it said that the UK was often a 'shield' for the more frugal EU countries (mainly the Nordic countries), as they often voted with us. As we were the bigger country, we were usually se

I was so tempted once I bought a house to set up everything to be smart, but in the UK I've found it hard to find smart switches that fit in our wall easily (most are 35-45mm and most older houses in the UK are brick walls). I've

Where I work we always rebase on branches for features/bug fixes/tickets/whatever, but when we merge into master we always do `git merge --no-ff origin/branch`. We don't really care what the history of our branches

So my wife is Chinese and from Shantou, a pretty big city in the South. First time I went, of course we stay at her parents house and I tell them that it's required we get registered at the police station. Her uncle, my wife, and I wen

XFCE had some weird virtual desktop behaviour where when I opened an application from the tray, it would open in my current desktop and not the desktop that I'd placed it. Aside from that it was great, and there was probably some confi

No it hasn't, it's very inconsistent though. Emacs and some other software does it everytime, although most seem well behaved. I'm on 5.20, probably not the latest version I'd have if I were on Arch though.

I finally got fed up with tweaking Arch/DWM and switched to Manjaro with KDE on my main machine, I went through all the versions of Manjaro and all had their problems and I finally settled on KDE. Looks good, allows me some tweaking,

Yeah I saw that on the front page a few months back, and people seemed impressed with it. Although, I also remember seeing Qwant on the front page, or at least in the comments of another search engine post and people were impressed with it.

No, I do not think so either. But unless wearing a mask is shown by scientific study to be harmful, the default should be to wear a mask - if a study then shows that a mask isn't as helpful as we were led to believe, then fair enough b

You're being down-voted but I'm not sure what rules you've broken, so people should not be down-voting you.

There's a few links in this thread, maybe you should read them. > but it's unhelpful when people misrepresent the strength of the evidence What exactly are your credentials, and why should I trust you?

I'm pretty fed up of people acting so incredibly arrogant. Unless you can show evidence that wearing a mask is dangerous, and makes things worse, then just wear a mask. Stop trying to find reasons to prove everyone wrong. Some data som

Why single out JS? Everything developers do nowadays is overcomplicated. See all the posts from large companies saying they switched to this and that for tenuous at best reasons. Then we get a post later saying they're switching back.

Yeah, no native tools ever get written in different languages and frameworks. Or is it only not acceptable when Front End developers do it? Personally I've never known anyone do this for any other reason but educational reasons. When I

I like many others also decided to effectively dodge the news as much as possible. For the last three years, I subscribed to the British magazine called 'Private Eye' which comes out fortnightly which keeps me up to date, but I se

Honestly I'm the same, my .vimrc is mainly set commands for line numbers, highlighting matches, basic folding and setting backup/undo/swap directories. I work as a JS Dev on a large(ish) React project with Vim, so I realised

At least here in the UK, Sainsbury's and Lidl sell them without this EULA on them.

The phrasing used was not great, but I do not think it's gate keeping. I honestly find it insulting that we think 'normal' people can't drag some files to a device, most family members know how to use a USB drive, and ma

I also did this, although only for a while. I first removed all notifications and apps from my phone (although I do not use social media anyway), and eventually went to some cheap flip phone. However, once I had to go rescue my wife when sh

What's to understand? I saw people at lunch eating wrapped rice things in Japan from the 7/11 which weren't that great compared to other places I could eat (especially the 'fresh' ones which were easy to find), but

Agree, but my solution is to donate to them on Patreon and block ads on YouTube. I do like the idea of Youtube Premium but they're still tracking me regardless.

From what I've read, that's not true at all. I'd imagine a whole lot of waiters and waitresses are earning a lot less than you imagine. £10/hour seems more reasonable, but our minimum wage keeps going up and includes hol

Where in the UK is this? I don't think I've ever tipped, although some restaurants do add an optional service charge (if you pay by card, it'll ask when you're paying). I've never once even considered tipping for a

I decided that I really am a morning person and decided to go bed around ~2030 (sometimes at the weekend I’ll go bed later if I’m out with family or something) and I wake up when my body is ready. Usually that’s around 0500. Then I walk the

Correct. For me there are valid arguments for a walled garden (providing users can opt out) but this isn’t about any of that. This is about Apple not getting paid, the users are not ‘winning’ in this standoff. Apple are prepared to fuck ove

Huh, for the first couple of weeks here in the UK some things were harder to find, but since then I've noticed no items not in stock at all - Where are you based?

I've recently started going to bed at 2000-2100 and it's nice to not need to worry about this stuff anymore. I start work at ~0800 and I'm usually awake from 0400-0600 so I never risk oversleeping, and my body gets as much sl

For me this is a reason to buckle down on our Firefox support. The leadership will change, but Firefox will outlive them, even if it was no longer supported by Mozilla.

I personally think that Mozilla have been making poor decisions, but I can't believe that people would say they they are quitting Firefox because of it. Mozilla might be going through a rough patch, and they now need our support more t
