I wonder if this is why battery and heat are so bad with Firefox on my Ubuntu 16.04 box? I've switched away to chromium because of the sheer difference in battery drain. (And no, it's not a plugin that's causing the problem)

And they're an actual opposition too

by s_kilk 10y ago
May's reasoning is basically that there is an opposition now, and that there should not be. The thought of indefinite unopposed Tory rule is sickening.

Oh it is, and the tension built up through the whole first half is exquisite. I'd certainly recommend everyone watch through from the beginning for the full, sickening experience.

I think they've done a few different versions. The differences seem to be mostly in the TV trimmings at the start and end, and a few versions have US or Canadian civil-defence warnings at the end. Skimming through, the content seems to

Yeah, it's really, _really_ well made. Good job on whoever put it together.

For fans of Threads, (or for anyone who just doesn't want to sleep tonight), I found a wonderful piece of Nuclear Fiction last week: A fake BBC news report tracking an escalating conflict between NATO and Russian forces. "Nuclear

I only know about it through a few friends who are pushing into their late forties. By all appearances it seems to be used exclusively by older Gen-Xers and Russians.

I'm glad they've gone back to a relatively clean and legible environment design and aesthetic. Some of the environments in Doom 2016 are really hard to look at, and consequently hard to play competitively because they devolve into

For points one and two, have you tried Thunderbird with the Lightning extension? Unfortunately I think it's still the best we've got in terms of fully-featured email clients on Linux.

A few questions: - Is KDE a first-class citizen in Fedora-land? Everything I see about Fedora seems to focus on Gnome as the one-true-desktop - How's the battery/power situation? I've seen some reviews find fault with battery

Pretty cool to see some acknowledgement from the Fedora crowd, but almost everything listed here is "maybe in a future release" rather than being present now.

Does it? I thought Article 50 was very much a 'hand grenade', once the pin is out there's no going back. If the two years run out without an agreement being reached, doesn't the UK just get chucked out and revert to WTO

Would that mean I'd need to carry the `:null` symbol all throughout the codebase, wherever that data-structure might be accessed?
