Up the chuff = good, down the chuff = bad

They always have done this, even before there was a wider understanding / acceptance of neurodiversity (e.g. at Bletchley Park)

Yeah that one is great as well, especially as you can steal the pigs and eat them afterwards!

Underworld passage has to be the most fun power!

I used to love building a mega fortress when playing against the AI, biding my time, then using a passage to pop up in the heart of their base and wreak havoc!

Damn, I'm in the UK so no easy way to go to the same restaurant/chain!

To be fair, she is relatively unknown.

Especially when you consider low information voters (which I expect have similar knowledge to high information voters from other countries).

Her honeymoon period will end as soon as she sits down and does a few serious and unscripted interviews about policy, which she has managed to avoid so far. At the moment it's pure vibes, but at some point you need to get into the business of explaining what you would do and being challenged on it. That will generate lots of attack angles and media stories, both good and bad.

In which country?

People keep saying it's nice, but I've never had any good stuff. I would try it again if thought there was a reasonable chance I'd like it!

The irony of the autistic person using a metaphor, and someone else taking it too literally. You have to laugh!

Sounds like what he actually said is that the market would crash if he got elected again...? Presumably he meant the opposite.

The man has never made much sense but this is absolute drivel.

 

Does anyone else live in a safe seat that may flip during this election? Looking at the latest Survation poll, which predicts Labour will win 484 seats (vs 64 to the Tories and 61 to Lib Dems), I can't believe how tight some of the results are projected to be in what have previously been very safe Tory seats as far back as I remember.

I've lived in some of these seats and always voted but without any real hope of flipping it. For them to turn red would be a huge change.

One seat, North East Hampshire, was the safest Tory seat in 2015 (by numbers and by %) but this election the projection is Lab: 24.2%, Con: 32.2%, Lib Dem: 29.3%.

Results night could be very interesting!

 

I've ordered myself some parts to build a PC for Linux gaming. In the meantime, i'm deciding on which linux distro to use.

For the desktop environment I typically use KDE.

I have used Ubuntu in the past but i'm ruling it out because of snaps and other such annoyances. This also applies to Ubuntu based distros that use the same repos (KDE Neon etc).

I see the wikis recommend Nobara, but I'm reluctant to use a Fedora based distro because I'm so used to Debian/apt (both as a desktop and server distros). I'm not ruling it out completely though.

Any reason why I shouldn't just go with Debian + KDE and install Steam? Will I be missing out on lots of performance improvements or is this easily addressed by using an additional repo for a tweaked kernel and proton version or whatever?

Krita (f-droid.org)
 

Discovered this one today when looking for an image editing app for Android. I've used Krita on Linux before but didn't know there was an Android app!

The UI is a bit clunky on a mobile but it does the job!
