“immigration is why our lives are getting worse”

Very clear indicator that someone has barely attempted to understand how the world works

Too fucking late

If I see anyone with a flag and it’s not currently the world cup or euros, I will always assume they’re a flag shagger and they have nothing of value to contribute to existence.

Both are possible

Dystopia is just more likely because it can be achieved through inaction

If the ultra-rich fund the racists saying immigrants are causing all the problems, they might ensure that enough people don’t realise the existence of the ultra-rich themselves is what’s causing all of the problems.

I don’t either, but it’s the same hand waving they do every time

Genuinely surprised to see this exists, SOLIDWORKS seems to always be in the same “hard no” category as Adobe software in every one of these kinds of threads I’ve seen over the years. This is literally the first time I’ve ever seen a response with a potential solution.

I wonder how well it works (Just out of curiosity, I don’t do CAD myself)

I’m glad it went the way it did, because otherwise I’d be suggesting you get clumsy with your next coffee

And it benefits the right because they can bang on about the old classic of people being arrested for “just making jokes” schtick

This government is own goal after own goal

Honestly why wouldn’t they?

He’s behaving like a centrist Tory, which is categorically not what a Labour leader should be

Oh, I’m incredibly surprised by that

If it is a computer, it is compatible

You may just need some extra bits in addition to the base ISO

IIRC the Broadcom website has the latest Linux drivers on there if the kernel doesn’t support it out of the box, so grab a copy of those and put them on a USB.

As others have said, you could get a live distro to test it out before you install

Wait I thought it was supposed to be in a couple of hours

3 in Manchester, no alert yet

Edit: yes it’s in the first paragraph lol, 3pm today

For a brief self-gaslighting moment, I tricked myself into thinking the plan was to get any unpopular but (for whatever reason) necessary policies out of the way at the start so people hopefully forget about them by the next election.

I think we’re well past that point now, and we need some pretty radical policy to combat the economic disaster we’re hurtling towards.

I think the vegan one is green because vegan

I’ve never seen them grab anything other than a single size bag for everything and I’ve eaten a lot of Gregg’s over the years

You need to enter the Highland games with strength like that

By all means try it out, it might have been something down to the drivers for my audio interface (focusrite scarlett) at the time

If you have better luck than I did, I’d love to know!

Can’t comment on everything, but given you mentioned audio production: a couple of years ago I tried to get ASIO working from within a VM on a Linux host OS and wasn’t having a whole lot of luck.

I think I read somewhere that someone had come up with a special ASIO driver to send the audio directly into the host Linux OS audio subsystem, but I’ve not tried that or measured latency yet.

Tory fucking knuckledraggers

Correct me if I’m wrong, but surely both are necessary parts of the solution given the trajectory we’re on?

No house insulation is 100% perfect, so some level of heat transfer will still occur even with blackout curtains closed during the day. After some number of days at say the 35-40 degrees we’re already seeing across Europe (and let’s face it, we’re probably on track to brush up against the 50 degrees we’re seeing in Japan within a decade or two), the temperature will equalise internally to that.

In order to counter that we need an efficient way of moving heat from inside back out again without letting any more in, which is not something many houses in the UK can do today.

In 2025, most people in developed hot countries are using air conditioning in addition to everything else

We need to be installing heat pumps and solar panels everywhere immediately.

The government needs to be pushing this hard with big subsidies otherwise we’re going to have the NHS on its knees as the summer becomes just as bad as winter.

There will be mass death if we don’t do something about this within the next few years
