Nobody uses cinnamon? Honestly - I really like using cinnamon with Debian. I heard that they promised not to fuck with the UI for no reason unlike… everyone! @Mwa Cinnamon is a fairly nice, easy to use desktop - I don’t really care which is better, but if they change it, you have to re-learn it. Top tip for UI design - don’t think that your users want to re-learn how to interact with your UI - they might go outside, or elsewhere.

That is quite a journey! I hope that it wasn’t too fraught (learning shouldn’t have to be). Well done on making good of it!

I don’t see why all of a sudden all the black male actors, rappers, musicians and stand up comedians have to cosplay as Troy from community.

edit: Add director and producer to that list - check before you post kids!

I haven’t watched the video - so I’m going on what is said above, but its like these billionaires are not seeing people as human. They see that after Hiroshima people live in the city but cannot understand that those people weren’t fungible. We didn’t replace them - they are different people.

Two other small points, but first a caveat - I’m very pro civil nuclear power.

It simply isn’t possible for any nuclear power plant to explode like a nuclear bomb. That can’t happen - like my car contains an engine but can’t fly like a plane. There have been nuclear leaks and chemical explosions in nuclear plants - these are bad. However, they are very different things from what happened to Japan.

Modern nuclear weapons would have much higher yields and probably fallout. Here’s a terrifying tool for the morbidly curious:

Its not the ‘eat the rich’ that I was hoping for… Might be the one we deserve.

Thanks for your uninformed opinion/question thing. I’ll assume that you are asking in good faith and simply don’t know… much about the UK.

He isn’t the root cause, but he chose to insert himself by encouraging violence when he hasn’t a fucking clue what he’s talking about either…

I’m looking at you, Amazon.

You mean that you want to copy Amazon? Since this is exactly what they have done, outsourced delivery drivers; driven to pissing in bottles, outsourced sellers; selling items at a loss to imaginary bots to get positive reviews (amazon making its cut all the same).

I shouldn’t respond… but let me guess:

The one thing that you are good at isn’t unblocking toilets, is it? No, I’ll bet you are really good at something rewarding like solving difficult math problems, or ‘consulting’ or some other rewarding job. I’m sure that you were top of your class at school, but in the real world, if you didn’t turn up, the world would keep turning just fine.

I am saying this from no moral high ground at all (I am well rewarded for what is termed a ‘bullshit job’), just pointing out that what you are saying kind of assumes that the proles want to live in your utopia, do you still expect to have a better living than the person who shovels your shit when you block the toilet? Thought so.

[edit: sorry for being such a curmudgeon - I must be having a bad day. If I’ve offended - check your idealism. Please start your ideal business - the world needs idealists… as well as people with shovels]

Its definitely the dream!

10 is a lot of cats to herd though. Do you already have your fantasy football team ready? Do you think that they share your (lack of) ambition?

At the same time 10 is a small number if a couple go on parental/sick leave at the same time. Are you ready to ‘hold the baby’ and get no extra credit? Who will do the admin/HR/sales/marketing/taking-the-bins-out/whatever you don’t like doing?

10 people is enough that it would be very hard to run in a truly egalitarian way - its your idea, so would you be the ‘primus inter pares’? ;-)

Honestly, It could be great - so please see me poking holes as a way to make your plan stronger.

Don’t pay this! You just reinforce their predatory practices. How renewals at much higher prices are allowed - no clue!

Something similar happened to a company I know - it expired and was immediately bought by domain squatters, when they found them they were told that it couldn’t be sold back because the squatter had paid $XXXX for and had big plans (I assume it was BS, just a premise to get paid - no site was ever put on the domain)

Solution: they bought the .org version and bought the .com back a year later.

Surprise! :D The project was called ‘making tax digital’ it was expressly to remove paper forms for VAT.
