Yeah ok now I do… back to Fastmail then 🤦🏻‍♂️

The trick with Adobe is to use PayPal… you can then cancel the recurring payment yourself.

Didn’t see anything particularly Trump supportery on those three links…?

Thanks!

What about it being a janky MMO takes it away from being your ideal game though?

I really wouldn’t look at DS’s games, they are shite.

Is there a Kickstarter I can contribute to?

I use them as well except in their app, works brilliantly

Hadn’t come across the Miyoo before so went to have a look… looks like a really good little product but wow what an annoying website constantly popping up the chat box over the whole mobile screen whilst browsing!

Anyway, how have you found it ?

Interesting factoid - UK murder law applies to everyone everywhere. Theoretically if an American killed somebody in say Egypt and they later passed through the UK, assuming the UK authorities had the evidence somehow they could choose to arrest AND prosecute the crime (if Egypt didn’t want to for example).

My wife and I don’t drink alcohol… non-starter for us I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

You have to believe in a “supreme being”

Juvenile fratboy humour done badly, very badly with lots of fan services to get the brainless cheering.

Made me laugh once in the first few minutes (I can’t even remember the joke) and walked out of the cinema after about an hour.

What’s this ostree setup thing please? Was thinking of trying Bazzite but am not yet a super experienced user so trying to understand any issues beforehand…

Depends on the country… in the UK for example you can serve on a last known address, and this is presumed served unless later rebutted in court… it is for the court to decide if the rebuttal is sufficiently demonstrated or not.

Astonishingly, that was also Rickman’s movie debut

I love the idea but how would it be paid for? Quick back of the envelope sums says if you pay every adult the government living wage in the UK, it would cost around 950bn… uk government expenditure for everything is just under 700bn a year at the moment…

So let’s say the landlords don’t want to do this and sell up, or at least try to… who can afford to buy now? Yes the prices will come down but that doesn’t remove the need for a deposit/downpayment - yes that will be smaller but how is somebody going to save that money still? Where do they live while doing that? That is still the biggest problem… the UK does have a help to buy scheme where the government owns part of your property (acts as deposit) and you pay the mortgage on the rest, but you also pay some rent to the government for their share.

The whole system needs overhauling to make it work these changes alone won’t sort it out.

I disagree, it’s the details that will bite you on the ass… until those people have haggled over the details we realistically have no idea how many up or downsides there would be.

I agree it’s a problem and I agree the current landlord situation is very likely contributing but removing that component by itself I believe is likely to cause all manner of problems… landlords are currently parasiting (is that a word?) off a system that’s broken… my view is if you fix the system they won’t be able to parasite on it.

Because people are talking on here like it would the solve the problem… it’s a much more complex and nuanced issue than “landlords making (too much) profit”. The knock-on effects and interconnectedness in (some) economies all need to be thought through and resolved/have a plan to resolve first otherwise you’re just creating other problems.

This whole thread reminds me of Brexit (I’m from the UK) and how leavers were saying how simple it would be to leave… this is such a complex problem.

Where do these people get their deposits from for the mortgage on the cheaper houses? Where do they live whilst saving up for these cheaper deposits?
