Dual UK/US citizen here . . . living in the Scottish highlands. Hate to break it to you mate, but Brits do not think about this. Ever. 1/3 of the countries on earth celebrate their independence day as being independent FROM England. The US just isn’t that special.
- Comment on I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop 5 weeks ago:
Second vote for Pinta. About the closest thing to paint.net there is for a Linux desktop . . .

There is a word for the future you are describing: exterminism.
Sadly the world appears to be heading that way. This is the most bleak future described in one of my favorite books: Four Futures:Life After Capitalism
It’s a quick read . .and highly recommended. www.versobooks.com/en-gb/…/59-four-futures

It appears you are confusing moral absolutism with moral universalism. I stand by what I wrote.

You rather made my point - everything about morality is retaliative. There are no absolutes - it is up to your (and my) prospective. For the record, I do wrestle with my employment there . . .yes, we did stop many, many Russian tanks. But I also suspect other systems have been used in Gaza by the IDF. As for speeding and taking out Musk - 100%, sign me up for that moral tradeoff right now!!!

Everything is relative to your prospective.
I worked 10 years for a major EU defense contractor. Mostly on civilian projects, but not exclusively. For many years, I hid my employer from acquaintances & friends - when asked, I would just say “I work in software”. After I left that company, one of the anti-tank missile systems I had a very (very) small part developing started to tear the fuck up Russian tanks across Ukrainian farm lands.
I don’t hide that history today.
- Comment on Channel Tunnel says UK investment 'non-viable' as it halts projects 2 months ago:
With this news, now would be the perfect time to start the discussion of converting one of the 2 train tunnels into a road for EV’s and electric lorries. Tailpipe exhaust is THE reason why cars today must be loaded into a train for the trip . . . EV’s make that unnecessary.
If they are not going to invest . . . lets re-purpose part of it.
