  • When did phones no longer become banned in school?

  • For me gaming was the easiest thing to replace on Linux. Bazzite was painless and for me ran games with better performance. Since I use my gaming PC like a console HTPC I also have a way better experience with the more steam os like gaming mode it has over the standard big picture mode on windows, since I can now configure system settings within steam itself with my controller if I ever need to.

  • I'm not exactly knowledgeable when it comes to kernel stuff and cheating in general. But couldn't Linux say have some functionality in the kernel that will never lie about what apps are running and games as such as this can then query that against a blacklist for anti cheat?

  • For the UK one it's just tied to your email address to prevent duplicates, and you just input your name and physical address which will be used to confirm you're actually a citizen.

  • Does this include being able to remap the back buttons individually via steam input now?

  • They can still release their bespoke parts without any of the third party licensed stuff. Even without instructions on what needs to be gotten and put back in. It'd allow the smarter guys in the community have a headstart to figuring it out anyway. Most licensed software can be replaced, look at the recent decomps like the Lego island one.

  • Does it not stop you from signing multiple times? The UK one tells you you've already signed it when you try again. I tried it again recently in case i was misremembering signing the second petition after the first one was misunderstood completely by the uk government.

  • I miss fireworks. For me that was the best. I've never jived with Photoshop or is alternatives.

    I have since landed on krita, aseprite and inkscape. But i still miss the workflow I got used to with fireworks.

  • They're meant to be more funny in a sense that you can relate to them as you've been in such situations and can now have the catharsis that you're not alone in those experiences. And as people usually do with such situations that are awful in the moment, you laugh at them in hindsight.

    That's the intention of such cringe humour. Maybe the ones you listed have elements that relate more to your life than the ones you dislike? Or maybe they remind you of moments where the above just cannot apply to your emotional experience of them, and so they cannot be funny.

  • Gotta laugh or else you'll cry-ahh humour

  • Minimising is what should be done in situations like this. Perfect is the enemy of good.

  • You can come a complaint of inaccuracy on the BBC website. If you have the time to do so, do so. Stating they were antisemitic is slander and misinformed.

  • I have made a formal complaint to the BBC which you can through their site and I recommend others to do so to. I labelled it as factual inaccuracy and written the following:

    In a statement about Bob Vylan at Glastonbury it was stated: 'The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves.'

    Nothing they said were antisemitic. Being critical of governing state's military killing innocent people is not the same as hating an ethnic group. This is slander to pose it as such and I am appalled at the BBC for thinking it should be. As well as thinking that such criticisms should not be live on air.

    Being critical of Israel as a state is not the same as hating Jewish people as an ethnicity. Thus NOT antisemitic. It is anti-zionist at best if you are searching for a more valid label.

    The BBC are meant to be impartial but this statement shows otherwise to the highest order.

  • Digitising should be a given but as long as it has a high quality audio jack you can do it through that.

    Recording onto cassette is different though because doesn't that need a specific writer head?

  • Proper grammar means shit all in English, unless you're worrying for a specific style, in which you follow the grammar rules for that style.

    Standard English has such a long list of weird and contradictory rules with nonsensical exceptions, that in every day English, getting your point across in communication is better than trying to follow some more arbitrary rules.

    Which become even more arbitrary as English becomes more and more a melting pot of multicultural idioms and slang. Although I'm saying that as if that's a new thing, but it does feel like a recent thing to be taught that side of English rather than just "The Queen's(/King's) English" as the style to strive for in writing and formal communication.

    I say as long as someone can understand what you're saying, your English is correct. If it becomes vague due to mishandling of the classic rules of English, then maybe you need to follow them a bit. I don't have a specific science to this.

  • Loads of games and if not by default it's an option in the menu. Not all games have prone either
