That would just ruin it.

That’s Reach Plc for you.

Owns every regional news site in the UK. Seemingly publishes shit on random ones, like this which is Wales Online, but apparently fat kids on the opposite side of the country are considered newsworthy.

I’m just glad they got rid of the side swiping on articles, where a clumsy scroll would just load an entirely different page for no fucking reason.

I need to run windows software that makes other windows software, that will be run on our customers (who pay us quite well) PCs that also run windows.

Plus gaming. I’m not switching my primary box to Linux at any point. If I get a mini server, that will probably ruin Linux.

Because I only have one PC (that I need for work), and I can’t be arsed to cock around with dual boot just to watch movies. Especially when Windows will probably break that at some point.

I think a lot of humanity just has a deep seated need to hear their own opinions repeated by somebody they think is better than them, be it an important man in a tie, a newspaper headline, or even just an influencer on TikTok.

And once they hear that one opinion, it leaves them wide open to accept pretty much anything that comes out of their mouths.

The old media, the TV networks, social media… It’s all there to push their own ideas masquerading as your own. Find an opening and shovel it in. I can’t claim immunity to it either. I’m perfectly happy to see “Brexit voters had lower levels of education” as a headline and think “yup, that makes sense”, while for all I know it could be complete bollocks.

There’s so much shit being thrown at you 24 hours a day, that you can’t even begin to fact check all of it.

I hear the right are called the right because they’re always right.

Checkmate atheists!

Yes, but that’s not going to change the minds of the people he was talking to.

As usual, the lie gets halfway around the world, before the truth has got its boots on.

Just carry around in a big weed sprayer.

I wouldn’t expect Biden to either, if China actually went for it.

There’s only a handful of places who even recognise Taiwan as a country, and Paraguay sure ain’t coming to the rescue of nVidia’s share price if it kicks off.
