The uk has air defences?

Mandriva Linux, then RHEL, the Debian and fedora.

For a high latitude nation without consistent clear skies it’s odd to be doing so much solar.

Yeah unfortunately Keir only has eyes for whatever the right wing press will approve of, so he will be ignoring Bendy Bananas Europe and leaning into DOGE pilled America.

I can’t speak for Krita - I’ve not used it. But as someone who has designed a lot of software I agree with you fully here. Making software intuitive is the hardest and also most important part of my job. When I test with users the first time it soon becomes clear how stuff that me and my team thought made sense is totally opaque to the end users or just doesn’t fit into the real world workflow. It’s all well and good expecting users to learn the software - there has to be an element of that - but if you force thought, cause confusion or waste time every time you do that you add friction to the product. That friction ruins the users experience of the product and can ruin productivity.

There is a balance to be made, complexity where it allows for power is fine, if you have dedicated frequent users. E.g. my favourite editor is Vim - very complicated and (initially) opaque but also extremely powerful and logical once you know it. But complexity that adds no power or complexity in software where you don’t expect users to be using the software frequently enough to be expert in it is not ok.

lol

Mr Sumlenny said German post-war thinking plays a role too. “They were designed by a generation of German manufacturers that hadn’t seen war, and so tended to overcomplicate the system. “Older systems, designed in the 1960s by those who actually saw war, are far more useful on the battlefield but have weaker armour.”

Yeah but Rheinmetall can’t charge the government megabucks for a simple system can it? They have to justify bumping another 0 on the end of the price somehow, an increase in complexity is the perfect way to do this.

About to drop a killer mixtape

I used to have to do a lot of miles on big roads, and especially in the winter in snow and rain etc I really appreciated the PRHT. Which I why I went for that model. Would recommend. I’d still have it except I ran it into the dirt and it was no longer economical to repair it, it’d done over 200k miles for me.

For a while I had a convertible hardtop NC that I dailyed. I really enjoyed it. Several of my friends have NAs. I used to get bullied for my boat - but such is life. Haha

This is absolutely fantastic, an excellent idea and absolutely true that the uk uses Hamas’ status as a terrorist org to suppress dissent against genocide. Regardless it’s going to get laughed out of court. But still. Nice idea I guess.

Abusive husband talk

Yes comrade! Hyped for you :)

Haha hilarious name, but no, no I would not.

I find the concept of a man child creating a isolated male ‘safe space’ where they can play with their toys, watch football and drink beer away from their families quite depressing. Talk to your children Mike, spend time with your wife! Why is the rest of the house incapable of housing your unique requirements? Your wife manages, she doesn’t have a woman cave where she can hide from her ‘loved ones’ and family responsibilities.

I guess this example may not be a designated manex, but instead could just be the families themed cinema / games room, which is fine I guess, ostentatious display of wealth aside.

When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. So it follows that; when the only conceptual framework you’ve got is misogyny, every problem looks like women, I guess?

A university (read: asset management fund that incidental to its operations, each year gives a few 20somethings diplomas) - a university policy has been ‘violated’ - who cares? They breach their own policies against their students and employees all the time. Policy isn’t law it’s a guideline an organism sets itself. A policy isn’t worth jack shit. A policy is nothing more than an advert to others that is exemp from advertising standards.

You can’t reason with the Chinese economy when it’s in this state, it’s over tired and doesn’t know what it wants.
