  I’m on the insider build and haven’t seen any of this. If I do then I’m off. That’s a red.line as far as I’m concerned.

  I’ll load up EndeavourOS (it’s already on my laptop) and they can shove it. Pity as it was genuinely getting good. So many things that worked seamlessly and effortlessly compared to some of the Linux stuff.

  But I’ll not have ads in my OS.

  Good luck with that. Meanwhile MPs are sending dick picks on WhatsApp.

  Holy fuck. That’s something that needs to be eradicated.

  Just when you thought humans couldn’t be more shitty.

  They can shove it where the sun don’t shine.

  I’m currently enrolled in a Cyber Security course and my work for today is to consider an emerging threat and research ways to combat it.

  That’s my topic sorted then - excellent timing :-)

  These people are such a waste of oxygen.

  Kingy has a reputation for holistic shite though. He recently appointed one of these charlatans to a senior post.

  As long as he gets real treatment, not some wack job with a scented candle and some holistic shite.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think about MX Linux⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Been using it on all 3 of my machines for the last few months. I used to always end up back on Mint but about a year ago that started crapping out on things. MX just works for me. One thing about all distros (that I’ve tried anyway) lately, is that they don’t see the wifi card in my small Beelink PC. So it’s plugged in. Windows did see it, but I wiped that and installed Linux not long after I bought it. Had a couple of issues with KDE and it wouldn’t wake from sleep so back to XFCE. Not too heavily customised but it seems to be a keeper for my main machine - the Beelink. I have a Lenovo Ideapad that currently has Manjaro on - might try vanilla Debian on that. The other machine is an ancient HP laptop - MX XFCE will be staying on that until it craps out for good.

  Well, what is your favourite then?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brands face losing Royal Warrants unless they prove green credentials⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not so much that they won’t survive, it’s a Royal Warrant. That means a lot to some people/companies. Maybe not to you or me, but if, for example, Fortnum and Mason lost the warrant, sales would plummet.

  I think hope they were being sarcastic.

  Cracking news Grommit!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NHS waiting lists: estimated 340,000 died awaiting treatment in 2022⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How many died because they were on a waiting list though? Don’t get me wrong, any waiting list is one too many but this headline seems like clickbait to trigger people.

  And no, I didn’t read the article because the URL didn’t work :-(
