As a person from the UK, it really does feel sometimes like the UK is just the place where America tests out all of its most dystopian ideas before it rolls them out at home.

Yeah I'm glad I nuked mine right after Musk bought it. I already hadn't used it in a couple of years by that point but that was the final straw.

Oh yeah I'm not saying it has to be an absolute priority, just something I'd like to see get worked on at some point.

I think in theory the police are meant to. But the 'theory' part of that sentence is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Well now they have that supreme court ruling that the president can't commit a crime if it's an "official act" so genuinely who knows. But I could absolutely see someone like Trump using it to squash a protest and then jamming the whole thing up while the courts argue about it for the next 15 years or so.

I'd like to see a proper full redesign of the KDE settings one day TBH. I can't quite put my finger on why, but the settings always feel kind of weird and counterintuitive to me.

Well then I'm not pirating anything, I'm just downloading data and if it happens to correlate to the new Aliens movie then that's not my problem. 😮

I think what they're saying is that this new method is 1000x more efficient compared to previous solar panels made of ferroelectric crystals, not compared to the standard silicone ones. So it's more like "previous alternative solar panel that sucked now might not suck" rather than "existing solar panels now make 1000x more power."

Yeah at first I thought maybe he wants out but his ego won't let him just step away from it like Biden did, so he's trying to ramp up the crazy shit to force the party to kick him out, that way he doesn't have to run but he can keep the grift going by saying he was betrayed etc.

Then I thought, he's not that smart. All he has is saying crazy shit, which seemed to befuddle Clinton and Biden but doesn't work on Harris, so all he can do is panic and say even crazier shit.

I use Mullvad personally, but probably any of the major ones would do the trick.

I do! And I set QBittorrent to only run through the VPN connection 👍

Yeah that's my preferred method too. Bitwarden's password generator can create passphrases too, so I have it just create random ones for pretty much everything. The only ones I have to remember are the ones to unlock Bitwarden itself, and the one to unlock the decryption when I boot my PC up. So like two sentences essentially. I literally don't even know what the passwords are to anything else lol.
