Not quite honesty boxes, but Bristol has a good culture of "tat". It used to be quite common to see usable household goods left outside a house for others to take.

Follows a classic sci-fi series arc, IMO. Brilliant, enthralling and at times terrifying first book, followed by several tomes of 'meh'. See also Night's Dawn.

The Government of Israel, as it currently stands, is absolutely a threat to Europe. It has brought genocide, concentration camps and forced starvation back into the Overton window for state actors pursuing security objectives. This should t

Would you consider boycotting Google or Amazon because of their relationship with the Israeli military? I avoid Amazon, but it's pretty tough to avoid Google.

I'm in my forties and I'm still lucky enough to have friends from school. My tips: - Hobby group chat, group chats generally. - Linked to the above, a lot of these friendships work because of the network effect. We're looser

I work in this industry, a few scattered thoughts/explanations of how things work for the uninitiated. These figures are actually pretty decent compared to the World Bank, who did a similar exercise in 2014 and found just under a third

Yeah, I remember finding that the case for a while. I can't remember when things clicked and it was fine without. I moved to arch a while back, perhaps then.

Where's Anaconda at these days? I've not touched it since starting out with Python and don't think I've touched it since discovering other package managers. Anyone here using it regularly in 2025, is there anything I&#x2

Wow, just did this myself. The difference between Firefox and Chromium was depressing. I'm getting >100 FPS almost consistently all the way up to 1,000 in Chromium, FF barely made it above 500 before dropping below 60. Probably not

I'm getting an error so can't check it out properly, but from what I've seen of 2D to 3D so far, this sort of tech is very much still in the "nice idea" phase. There's such a big difference in quality between

Can we talk about the successful investments then? What I see is every national asset, every successful company, and increasingly land and housing sold to (typically overseas) capital, with the proceeds sucked offshore. Whether it's ne

The problem is that the investment in this day and age is entirely extractive. Strip the assets, do minimal infra, and jack up the prices. Water here is a classic example. Investors want their returns, and the best way to get it is by rent-

Not sure why this was downvoted, maybe the use of "foreigners" is a bit loaded, but this is basically it. Every inch of our economy is now owned by some faceless fund. All serious capital generated in the country is extracted out

Aye, I must have tried it ten, fifteen times over the years before it stuck. All I'd say is it's pretty easy and more or less "just works" these days. I remember fighting over basic stuff like second monitors, but for th

I mean the US attitude towards Europe is increasingly hostile. The UK-Belarus comparison, I've been making for some time; the Europe one was just a throwaway. Trump had just hit the EU with 30% ~sanctions~ tariffs.

Having your kids also be technical and bail you out of the shit you've built for yourself. Or at least nudge you away from bad ideas, do listen to them. I'm being a little unkind to my Dad. He moved to management fairly early on a
