They’ve also got the Xbox interface for controllers, the reason they don’t make Windows better for this scenario is that they already have XBox and making a SwitchBox interferes with their plan to make everything shit.

Absolutely. But they want everyone to know they are using Windows, which if there was a custom shell then they wouldn’t.

They have >95% of the market, they don’t care about making a good interface for TVs as they already lost it to Android, and they don’t care about making a good gaming interface as they already have XBox.

Windows users are an inconvenience, that they want to milk.

No, Microsoft don’t allow it. As part of the distribution licence you are not allowed to customise the OOB interface.

People don’t know it’s Linux, but it’s absolutely because of Linux that it works.

They could call it Windows Console Edition, or WinCE.

Nope.

The big thing is that the Deck uses Linux which allows Steam to provide an amazing interface.

All the “competition” still tries to use Windows, and the experience is appalling.

Yes, it is a complete trainwreck.

And only 51% of people who voted, around 25% of the population, were in favour so it’s unsurprising that you can find large sections at this point who would be unhappy with the situation. It’s not necessarily Bregret, we didn’t want it in the first place.

Brexit was a viable approach to addressing NHS financing

You have to also remember that Brexit was a cross party matter. Tories gonna Tory with their made up numbers, but also the head of the Labour party was pro-Brexit since the unfettered access to the Labour market weakened the unions positions. It was only in the later stages that he rather weakly positioned himself as pro-EU because better a weakened position with the EU than a weakened position without the EU to back you up if you have a Tory government.

sensible healthcare policy

NHS gutting is due to austerity and unregulated privatisation rather than Brexit. I’m not aware of anyone who believed the Boris bus, mostly because I don’t know of anyone who believed a word of what he said. Conservatives who did vote Boris mostly appear to have liked the way he “owned the libs”.

If labor costs increase that may lead to automation to taking the place of migrants

Maybe. But only if you take a single point and follow it exponentially without implementing anything else.

The pound is vastly overvalued and needs to be brought down. That would improve exports and the value of the work, potentially allowing people to do these jobs without it requiring them to live in poverty. Also, perhaps these aren’t jobs that should exist at this point? We also don’t have people lighting the lamps in London, and pressing the bellows by hand in the steam ships. I don’t think it’ll come to that because I’ve seen the automation available for soft fruit harvesting, and there are limited situations where they are suitable.

Not that any of this matters as none of the parties have taken away any lessons from this mess, so I don’t really see how Britain will be able to recover for a generation.

Sorry, but I just get offended when people call us stupid. A lot of us didn’t want this, FPTP means that over the past decade we’ve had major Conservative control even though the majority of voters didn’t want them. Hopefully you can understand that a lot of us are stuck with a situation that we didn’t want. Hopefully if we can be a bit more empathetic to the reasons people made poor decisions in the past, we can help offer better choices in the future.

If any Britons wanted to work for the wages that immigrants take home, those low-paying jobs would be theirs immediately.

That’s a terrible framing of the situation. The opinion (rightly or wrongly) is that cheap labour from poorer countries sets the expectations for employment costs.

These workers will come for a season and live in horrific conditions with the expectation that although it’s low pay for Britain, its higher than the home country and they will take the cash out of the economy.

Brexit was a sledgehammer approach for people to say “no jobs should pay so low that you have to live a subsistence existence.”

Now whether it’s because farmers pay too low due to the supermarket purchase chain forcing the situation, cost of living is far too high or a mix of both, the fact of the matter is just saying “tHoSe LoW pAyInG jObS cOuLd Be ThEiRs” make you sound stupid.

There are a lot of problems with the British economy and even with the elections coming up, the opposition are not coming up with very good suggestions on how to improve the situation.

It all depends on what you actually want to do.

I have a computer connected to the TV with Chimera installed because that’s SteamOS 3 with emulators preconfigured and is completely couch + controller friendly.

My laptop has Fedora because it’s up to date, but everything is tested before release, and all upgrade paths are automated unlike Arch which burnt me in the past with breaking changes.

On my Pi’s I have Diet Pi, which is Debian but has images for each of the different ARM boards and has a bunch of scripts for setting up print servers, Home Assistant, etc. I want Debian for it’s slow unchanging nature there.

On my desktop, less so.

But underneath they are all Linux, and they all behave in very similar ways, it’s all about the initial setup.

And how did he get her pregnant without being seen?

Stable has nothing to do with outdated packages.

That’s a personal decision by a distro.

Fedora is a stable distro because generally the packages stay on the same major version throughout the version, however they have a list of exceptions for certain applications that should be updated for security or perhaps they don’t follow a major/minor/bugfix release and it’s bad practice to hack together your own versions.

Fedora rebases it’s packages every 6 months, so it’s never left far behind.

They also don’t produce usable amounts of light.

Historically neither.

Red signifies passion and anger (male traits), and pink is the softer version of red for younger boys or representing flowers for women.

13-14th century you would have both represented by both genders, and late 1800’s was when it started to diverge.

I’m still on my Galaxy S10e.

The last normal sized phone with USB C and a headphone jack.

Gradle, with it’s transitive dependency modifications is a huge pain in this area.

It used to be that if a library ended up having a flaw then it would be flagged and we would get the dependency updated. These days security block the “security risk” and you have to replace your dependencies dependency. Fingers crossed you can get it to actually test all the code paths.

If an second level project gets a flaw, and it’s used indirectly then we should really look at getting the import updated so that we know it works. If that import is abandoned then we should not be updating that second level dependency, either adopt and fix the first level dependency or look at an alternative.
