Its great that Emacs is still with us and long may it last. Its incredibly powerful and flexible, but it also really hard trying to sell it to a new user. Most of them will just download and use VS Code. Is is still possible to popularise i

52% of the electorate voted for Brexit, that's hardly 'no one'. As for nothing right being done, we've been dealing with a pandemic and a war which have cause an inflationary and energy crisis. But our economic growth in

I was going to mention that. It didnt seem to be a problem when Real was paying stupid money to assemble the galcticos. Or Italy was paying €50m for Buffon in 2001. English domination of the game really does rub people up the wrong way. But

It's not like temp office space companies didn't exist no one knew the risks. They'd been around for years and the pitfalls were well known. But this is what happens when you have lots of cheap money, low returns and massive
