Britain doesn’t use commas for decimal points, that’s a mainland European thing.

You might be interested in Neocities. It’s a hosting platform for personal websites and also includes a directory so you can find other people’s.

What it basically comes down to is there are several native languages in the United Kingdom - English, Welsh, Gaelic, Scots, Cornish and more - but only English is respected on the whole.

He’s not even asking for every ticket to come in both languages, just to be sent one in Welsh when asked for. I think it should be a legal requirement to provide any document in any home language requested, personally.

That’s why bandcamp is one of the few places I’ll willingly spend money on digital media. DRM-free downloading in flac format? Yes please.

AdGuard Home, it’s a DNS level ad blocker similar to PiHole

Had a very similar experience at the end of last year. Was sick of the bullshit all the providers were pulling and set up jellyfin.

Now running that on a pi so we’ve got our own streaming platform with movies and shows that you’d either need at least three separate services for or just outright won’t find if you don’t pirate.

I like it, but I’m not exactly a power user and the only other distros I’ve used are Ubuntu and mint. I think if you want a Debian based distro that’s not tied to Ubuntu then Mx is a good choice. I know there’s LMDE too but as far as I know that’s only available with cinnamon, so Mx having KDE plasma is nice too.

There’s the whole sysvinit Vs systemd but I don’t have a dog in that fight and enabled systemd, which Mx makes very easy even though they advise against it.

Did the same thing in November with MX Linux. Haven’t needed to boot into Windows once.

Man is too much for me. I can’t handle that many words at once, which is why I like using tldr

ConSumo is an amazing minigame in Bully. It’s the standard “eat thing to get bigger” type game but it’s just done really well.

Cars have (or had, I don’t know if they’re still included) an electric lighter that you pushed in to heat up. It was basically a little metal ring that got really hot. So I think it probably is the heat.

I remember my friend also had a plasma lighter, that unsurprisingly used plasma to light things. It made a really scary noise in the wind and hurt like a motherfucker to touch. We were 18 and dumb.

I’m assuming you mean big ideas like inventing the television and not two people thinking “hey let’s get pizza!” at the same time.

The rational: If you consider that at any point in time, the average person was facing the same problems as all the other average people, it is not too unreasonable to think that two people could think of the same solution since they were facing the same problem and likely had similar life experiences and education.

The cynical: We’re not as unique as we think we are.

Because they seemed like a good deal when they first came around, and they were, so they boomed in popularity. Then everyone started offering them, the prices got jacked up and now you’ll struggle to find an alternative.

Also, the very very short answer: More money

Netflix and Disney+ are the only two left. I used to also have Amazon Prime and Spotify but I was able to cut out Prime early last year and just within the last few weeks I cut out Spotify after using it continuously since 2009.

I’m trying to de-stream my media, and I would very much like to own the actual files legitimately instead but I think everything is so reliant on streaming these days it can be really difficult to buy DRM-free movies or TV shows. For music I get it from Bandcamp, so I am very appreciative of that. What can’t be acquired legitimately… cough

They must have been really desperate to make that jab because “slipping up” has been a common phrase for decades (at least in the UK). So the “up” has been dropped and we’re left with “slipping”, if it takes a native English speaker more than ten seconds to work it out I’d be worried for their cognition.

Just as a little update - I’m still not sure what caused it (although it does definitely seem to be systemd being a little odd because I temporarily reverted to sysvinit and it didn’t happen) but today I ran sudo apt autoremove and after restarting the problem went away. It seems something left over by an old app just… made this happen.

I’ll give this a go next time it happens - thank you.

That explains why it’s useless as a code, thank you!

Any thoughts on why I’m being presented with the logon screen and then being given a timestamp after it has loaded?
