  Mr Urban said younger people were straying from previous generations who would be more inclined to “go out late night and stay out”. “I think social media means that you don’t have to do that to stay in touch with your friends,” he told PA.

  Perhaps Phil should ask a younger person? Or fund some research into this? I think he’d quickly realise it has fuck all to do with social media or home delivery. But no, more sports pubs are the answer.

  AMD. I think if I had nvidia I might’ve gone for Pop OS, I heard that has good support for them out the box.

  Dabbled with Linux over the years but have finally made the jump to using it as my primary OS. I tried a bunch of distros and settled on the elegant simplicity of Mint. Every game has worked just… fine.

  It feels genuinely refreshing to know nothing will change without my consent, I know I will not login one day to find a surprise cortana/copilot/clippy icon in the taskbar or an ad for Avowed waiting for me. I can’t believe that is even considered a ‘pro’, but here we are.

  Let’s hope so! My main worry is it pushes things underground where you can’t really track and regulate anything, which has happened in other prohibition policies.

  I think I’d be more up for it if smoking use was trending in the wrong direction but it’s been pretty consistently trending downwards since the 70s. But if it accelerates the decline then that would definitely be a positive.

  I am definitely not pro-smoking but won’t this just create a pretty substantial black market?
