Not to mention declining birth rates across the UK. No immigration, no birth rate high enough to maintain the population… A few generations and you’re looking at a mostly geriatric population with not enough people working and putting into pension pots to cover all the folk no longer working. Not enough young people working to CARE for the massive elderly population. Rapid decline in taxes collected. Total collapse. End of the UK.
It’s stupid. It’s not even a huge problem. The biggest thing I hear from people who buy the right-wing propaganda to any extent is that they, illegal and legal immigrants, are taking up all the resources that should go to the less fortunate people from here. I’m an immigrant from Canada, legal, I have no access to public funds and pay a (quite substantial) NHS surcharge on top of paying taxes. A low income/homeless support/advocate group in Glasgow made a statement recently saying that if every illegal immigrant/refugee was removed that day the rooms freed up wouldn’t even house half the homeless people.
They’re not taking away the basically no support for the poor from the government, decades of malicious underfunding and austerity did that.

Revo Uninstaller is really good too.

Or as someone else mentioned, just ditch windows. It’s a sinking ship. I’ll end my spiel there.^irunarchbtw

I (begrudgingly) enjoyed the first season of Mythic Quest. Knowing that it’s meant to be a fluff piece to improve the image of Unisoft boggles my mind. It’s in no way flattering to the industry, and I question the intelligence of anyone who thought it would be.

Fuck yeah, I can already reliably recognise like ⅓ of the hiragana set…if there’s a multiple choice pick.

I’m taking a course, but if you want to just self study www.kanadojo.com is pretty good, and if you get anki there’s a load of free resources to practice listening and reading. Anki is free on android and pc, but costs a bit on iOS. Www.Ankiweb.net

Nah, you’re good bud 👍.
Honestly, while I am hopeful, it’s hard to be positive about the current state of alternative mobile OS. Everything not based on android feels like a proof of concept. We’re at the early adopters stage, but I can’t bring myself to get on board when there’s not really a great option. And device support, I already have my current daily driver, plus my old phone as a backup, and the phone before that too. None of which are supported by any of the projects, and even as something to play around with I can’t bring myself to buy ANOTHER phone. 🤷

And lineage has pretty good compatibility too, but we’re talking about mobile OSs outside the big two, Android and iOS. In that context, the device compatibility list is significantly shorter, and even the newer phones listed are ~10yr old hardware, or if newer severely underpowered compared to not even flagship phones available 5 or more years ago.

I really really want a viable Linux phone, but the device range isn’t there, and there’s still a lot lacking in functionality. Currently what’s on offer isn’t ready for general population daily use.

LimeWire has entered the chat…

I’m 40 this month and I still call it a circle jerk…

But they do exist. It does give me hope that people are actively working on these projects, useless for daily driving or not. In a better timeline we’d have more than 2 properly viable mobile OS options.

I mean. There ARE mobile os options. Just you need to have very specific phones, and they’re all old and outdated tech.

Well, when most governments are going all in on AI it’s hard to take democracy seriously 🤷

Grok didn’t make itself.

Old scam…same as the new scam…just more masks off…

NnTssNnTssNnTss…I think that weird kibble might be kicking in

Nooooooo nonononoooooo…Dance Dance Revolution 3 👍

Fuck off…

OP says they switched away from Proton in the first sentence.
