The ECHR says you must give prisoners the vote. Successive UK governments chose to ignore that part. So don’t be so sure about “can’t” versus “won’t”.

I managed to sell my battered old 32-bit Thinkpad on eBay last year. I couldn’t put Trixie on it, but Bookworm installed fine.

So discard a working and perfectly good Macbook to be replaced by a new one manufactured by the World’s #1 CO2 emitter and transported probably halfway around the world in a container ship burning dirty bunker fuel.

I went through similar feelings switching to the Mac ecosystem (from Linux) in 2012... But I quickly settled on some tools I wouldn't be without now. Finder is terrible, but I switched for Forklift early on. I think it's amazing,

> But pretending like only people on the far-right and people like DHH are willing to say this is just wrong. This is also the stated outcome of official inquiries of the UK government. As a German you may not be aware of this, but the s

I was going to make the same point. In no way do I endorse Rupert Lowe or the Restore party. But referring to that blog post as “hideously racist” is exactly why new victims will be made today, and new victims will be made tomorrow. We are

I think you are correct. It trivialises true evil with silly superficial comparisons. Popular with those who love to shout the word "Fascist" but have no idea what it historically meant.

I clean my Apple mobile stuff daily with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol. A 1L bottle is pretty cheap and it lasts a long time. I just spray it on a cloth and wipe with that. I use a glassware/window type Microfiber that I got from the Supermark

…the difference being that someone like Cummings at the time didn’t have the heft of the Establishment behind him. Anyone can “call” for anything, doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. The “Peoples Vote” or secondary confirmatory vote was favo

by hn_throw2025 26d ago
There were plenty of calls for a confirmatory vote (aka "Peoples' Vote", as if people didn't vote the first time) after the Brexit result in 2016. This was averted because Johnson won the election in 2019 and thus had a

Isn’t it odd that there are only suggestions for followup confirmatory votes when the pro-EU camp don’t get their way, never the other way around.

You’re welcome… There are things I will probably miss from Cursor, as they used to iterate on DX goodies quite quickly. For frontend tasks, I liked the idea of Cursor Browser being able to do a devtools-like selection of an element tree to

I recently cancelled Cursor. The features you mention are in Antigravity IDE v1, which I am trying as I still have a Gemini subscription. No idea how long it will be around for, as Google Antigravity2 (more like Claude Code) is clearly the

Sure thing. I really meant that my Oracle Cloud account is protected by my YubiKey, and when I provision an instance I set a strong, pre-hashed password for the local account in the CloudInit configuration. If I ever need emergency maintena

by hn_throw2025 1mo ago
By MFA I meant the Yubikey plugged in to my home office Mac; I don’t do sysadmin on the bus. But I take your point… I try to make sure I print out recovery codes when offered, and keep them hidden in a safe place at home.

I meant in real practical terms, not higher concepts. I am fine with not having a private island or a network of influential friends, but I am really really glad I’m not defecating in the street.

I agree with you. I’m reading this thread and wondering if I’m missing something, why people are still talking about port knocking, port obfuscation, and fail2ban. I use a cloud VPS. I ssh in via Tailscale. The cloud provider firewall block

The only thing I value from that list is the played/unplayed status, and resuming a title from where I left off. My two preferred clients handle that for me on my various devices.

I am definitely in the former category. I’m not dedicating the time to replicate a Netflix client equivalent with all the metadata (although I do make the time for FLAC albums). There’s nothing as straightforward as directories and a SMB co

The history is longer and more tangled than that. 1951 - Nationalised by Attlee (Labour) 1953 - Re-privatised by Churchill (Conservative) 1967 - Nationalised again by Wilson (Labour) 1988 - Privatised again by Thatcher (Conservative) 1999 -

It’s fun and games, but you have to bear in mind that joke candidates never expect to win. It’s entirely possible that every anti-Farage voter could coalesce behind him. Upon winning, he would have his name and face be publicly known. He wo

Do you really have to make the exact same comment in every related thread? It’s just tedious at this point.

by hn_throw2025 3mo ago
If you would cast your mind back ten years, I distinctly remember this bitter and callous attitude at the time. Wanting people who disagree with you to "just die out" is profoundly antidemocratic.
