I thought the size of carry on luggage was checked at check in before boarding. It was the last time I flew.

The war in Ukraine seems quite real, and so does America’s growing isolationism and taste for autocracy. In a visibly more unstable and divided world, a greater focus on defence is sensible.

How we are going to pay for it however is another question.

The new windowing system looks like a big improvement.

I think I remember running that on a Live CD that came with a Linux magazine.

Bloody hell I’m old.

I would also recommend openSUSE Tumbleweed. I’m usually a Debian/Debian-based person but I’ve been running Tumbleweed on my desktop for a few years now and it’s been great.

It has a few peculiarities like any distro but it’s been very stable, with few issues even with things like Nvidia drivers. Docs and community seem good too.

The owner’s phone:

I think most people are usually running to get away from King’s Lynn 😂

I think it will be fairly narrow in scope, with both sides of the Atlantic trying to spin it into a big win, which they both need right now.

However it wouldn’t surprise me if Keir has managed to create a deal to the UK’s detriment in a misguided effort at maintaining the “special relationship”.

It feels like both are waiting, or even relying on, for the other to implode.

The problem with microblogging platforms is they revolve around following users and not topics.

Mastodon has tried to change that by encouraging following hashtags but with limited success.

They are great platforms for people who are already (internet) famous and want a soapbox. But for ordinary folk tooting or tweeting or whatever else it’s called is just shouting into the void. There’s no discussion because nobody ever sees what others post.

I like Mastodon but it seems it can’t escape the inherent problems of the platform model itself.

These Mavicas could become popular again now as retro tech. There’s a lo-fi aesthetic growing in photo and video that’s all about compression artefacts and old image sensors. Physical media and its inconveniences is also having a moment as a novelty and maybe even a broader movement.

I think it’s uncertain for now. A majority of 6 votes is still a win but it’s also an incredibly unconfident win.

Runcorn is supposed to be the kind of place Reform keep being tipped to sweep but even in a byelection they’ve only managed a win by a hair’s breadth.

Reform seem to have a lot more work to do to win over voters to reliably take seats at a general election.

Of course, there’s still 4+ plus years for Labour to lose more voters also.

What kind of person leaves the crust? Pizza ain’t pizza without the crust.

I used to read them, they often had good in depth tutorials. The Format branding has been going for a long time, I can remember reading Amiga Format.

There were a few other Linux magazines as well, Linux User, Linux Magazine, Linux Voice. I think there’s still a Raspberry Pi magazine as well which covers a lot of Linux stuff.

However, it is important to note that these digital IDs are not a replacement for the original physical ones. Furthermore, U.K. residents cannot use digital IDs at airports for travel.

Additionally, Google states that it is also exploring certification with the U.K.’s Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology, which could enable residents to use their digital IDs for alcohol purchases and other purposes.

So you can add your passport to Android but effectively not use it for anything? Does anywhere in the UK accept this Google system as ID?

The article also mentions a partnership to add Railcards to it, but there is already a Railcard app for that, so I’m not sure what this actually for.

We already have a semi privatised identity system with the PASS card scheme for proof of age, its government backed but the actual physical and digital IDs are provided by various public and private groups.

There are 4 bay units that would fit on a 10” inch shelf. I’ve seen some DIY projects too.

Using SFF/mini PCs is also popular, there are models that can take multiple SATA/NVMe drives

There are few if any 10” UPS units available anyway so weight is less of a worry. It’s one of the biggest weaknesses of the 10” system currently.

In the general population it does. Most people are not using an academic definition of AI, they are using a definition formed from popular science fiction.

Labour chose to take this particular stance today. There are many other approaches they could have taken, they could have also tried to dodge the matter and kick they can down the road, but instead “trans women are not women” is what they have chosen to actively embrace.

(Further) pandering to the transphobic lobby is not necessary, and what’s been said today is far beyond pandering.
