Vote for Bernie!

Exactly. I thought I was reading an article in Private Eye.

It's known here as the Daily Fail.

Had she not accepted it, I'm sure they would have found someone else willing to accept their kind donation.

Not guilty, m'lud.

It's unfortunate that they missed out on Trade Union recognition at the Coventry facility recently. I'm sure GMD (or others) will keep on trying though.

(also marketplace which I hate to admit is pretty good)

The new Craigslist.

I did check that out and their web page. It says

When it's needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what's easier to do)

So maybe I'll test it alongside Ublock.

I'm going to take this one away, create a new FF profile and configure. That way I can compare results with my original profile.

selectively, I hope.

It's back! https://fosstodon.org/@organicmaps/112982935184446753

There is Easylist Ads (currently enabled) and EasyList/uBO – Cookie Notices (disabled) should I enable this?

It's something I should research more then.

As far as laws go, I'm in the UK and AFIAK privacy laws are still the same as before we left the EU. Other countries such as the US seem to have less strict laws (apart from the CCPA) which means a lot of US news sites I visit will geoblock me as they don't want to comply with EU standards.

Vivaldi's built-in ad blocker. Edit - Vivaldi thing. FF + UBO working...

Unable to read because I choose to use an ad blocker. Archive copy at https://archive.is/dl6oF

Also a thread here.

Likewise, new android user and it's far easier than OSM in my Vivaldi browser.

Lizteria. Is that Lettuce hysteria?

I had to check if it was one of Tim Martin's but apparently it's a Stonegate, and recently refurbished too.

I archived.is'd it. https://archive.is/GFCIY

Site requires you to accept their cookies to read the article.

Then there's her resignation honours list...

She probably gained an endless supply of pillows.

BBC already have a Mastodon instance but it doesn't seem to get much use.

I class myself as having similar experience to your friend having used Power Basic and Turbo Pascal mainly under DOS. I was able to use tkinter to produce some simple gui front-ends to produce dialogue boxes, process data and feed it to GnuPlot.

Is it people that want to switch away from Windows or switch to Linux?

In my case it was the former, having spent a lot of time on FreeBSD so in 2007 I bought a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.3. This gave me most of what I wanted and when I needed something Windows (XP) specific I installed a VM running under Parallels, then Virtual Box. I was able to run most of the open source software at that time such as Open Office, Firefox, Thunderbird in preference to the Apple supplied apps.

I hate it when someone sends me a PDF form and tells me I can complete it using Acrobat (or whatever it's called this week). Last one I successfully completed with the Firefox PDF ed.

I fail to understand how they ever ended up there in the first place. Maybe it makes sense for businesses but why put government stuff there when ultimately they may be subject to moderation at someone else's whim.

Add the past government's use of WhatsApp to this too so they can't conveniently lose data when a device is replaced.

@Servais@discuss.tchncs.de Subbed, thanks.

I watched the movie "Enemy of the State" the other day. It was released in 1998, but it was a true prediction of the future.

They run a full distro rather than the minimalist that Docker containers use. You can also use them to run gui apps but that needs a bit more work to configure. I run Google Chrome sandboxed this way.

Update - sorted, I can sub from a browser interface so something to look at in Interstellar.

@anytimesoon@feddit.uk

I'm sure they quoted one instance of a holiday home owner donating all surplus food at the end of their stay.

Even so, some visitors donate. Wallis says a Swiss couple give £500 each year. People ring and ask him to collect excess food from their holiday cottage when they leave.

If I'm running another Linux distro that will be happy under the host kernel then I use LXD (or Incus) containers. Otherwise it's QEMU+KVM or occasionally Virtual Box.

Does it matter what front end it uses if the underlying environment is QEMU+KVM. Upvote for tha above.

Thanks. I tried a few but on Interstellar I can't get them to appear in the search on fedia.io. I'll try again later when I can get a browser open.

Add official gov.uk statement on this.

The MOD is committed to undertaking all necessary planning and environmental processes required to gain planning consent for the proposed site and for its safe operation. A comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment (including a Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment) is underway in support of our planning application to Pembrokeshire County Council and their granting of planning permission is conditional on DARC meeting all the required safety standards.
