Exactly. I keep hearing this "they're taking our jobs" argument, and it's been going on for a long time. The people saying this are not lookng at the stats of how many people are now employed compared to 10, 100 years ago. From the industrial revolution onwards, it's been generally an upward trend.

It's the best characteristic of English, I think. It's alive, it changes and we do very little to prevent that from happening (unlike French or German).

"a nudge?" on a fucking motorway? JFC peoples misunderstanding of physics is terrfiying.

It's not a million miles away from the truth. The UK and France were the main advocates behind the ITU, so they got +33 and +44. Which is...fine...but I've not come across why NA got +1, etc. or even why those numbers were chosen at all.

Alexander Graham Bell was Scottish, who moved to Canada and then moved to the US.

It's weird they mention the C2PA but don't link to it: https://c2pa.org/

I think it was a bit of a race to be honest. If Bangladesh revoked her citizenship first, the UK couldn't have.

As a Brit-born to Brit parents, if I have gained, say, Irish citizenship (or Spanish, or Kenyan, whatever) then the UK could revoke my citizenship under the same rules. It's the fact she had another citizenship that allowed them to do this at all.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are some horrible racist pieces of shit who would see it as you've described, but I don't think this is one of them.

I felt the same way after making a Shooter's sandwich.

I've actually thought for a while now that a big software company should come out and say they support ReactOS for whatever their product is and advertise it like "Full, Oracle 23c DB support on ReactOS - but without the Microsoft tax."

Yes, that's not realistic between Oracle and MS, but it would be such a boon to ReactOS.

Self host RustDesk if you need an alternative.

I had no idea! That's mental.

I can't access that (Reddit blocked in DNS), care to summarise?

allywilson ,

Exactly. These things should not have been named or their faces publicised. They should not get attention.

I wonder, what characters are allowed? $0 would be interesting, or even the fork-bomb classic.

Without sounding rude, are you sure it's at the login screen and not the unlock screen?

allywilson ,

OK, thanks.

I guess it's worth confirming if it's been a logout or a reboot as well. If you open a terminal and type "uptime" does the time match when you booted up or after you left it alone for a while?

Check the output of:
dmesg -T
and have a look through:
/var/log/messages

I would be focussing on errors, warnings and/or terms like "reboot, shutdown, logout, timeout, idle, etc." to try to narrow it down what is happening and when.

2024 Bindependence Day!

...Surprise?

No mention of Rolls Royce's mini-reactors in there seems a bit suspect.

I don't really have an answer for you here, but isn't having the expiry pointless now if you're going to honour an elapsed token?

The argument has become "if price X mins ago is equal to price now, honour it" - so it could have expired 10 mins ago, or 10 days ago, etc. and you'd still be honouring it, right?

So, why have an expiry at all in this scenario? The question should become, if we're going to honour it after 5 mins, will we honour it at 10 mins? 100 days? Which? A cut off needs to be defined.

I'll make it spin my desktop cube, force every window to move slightly so they wobble and play Louis Theroux's lyric Jiggle Jiggle.

Why? Just because Windows uses can't.
