  That sounds like a conspiracy theory. Insects are a more eco friendly source of protein than cattle, and cattle might become more expensive due to the effects global warming and the potential taxes that could be placed on emissions, but there are plenty of other protein sources and there isn’t some big plan.

  Great for turning off a device or several devices without having to unplug (e.g. if the sockets are behind a bookcase, this is much more convenient). Not a super common need but when it saves moving furniture it helps. Given that UK switches are tougher to plug in and unplug than most (due to safety features), I prefer using a switch. Also, the switches are cheap and give more options, so may as well!

  I rely on one for a light where the switch broke and wasn’t easily replaceable, so being able to fall back on the mains switch meant I can keep using the light.

  If you or someone you know is handy with a soldering iron, there are replacement hall-effect sensor sticks available now. I am planning on swapping mine out with Gulikit ones because I am very stubborn about giving in to planned obsolescence (I 100% believe this is deliberate on Sony’s part).

  Sounds like you were engaging in whataboutism and that was the problem

  Ah sorry, I missed a bit in your post - it’s correction during typing only. Upping this setting could help but I suspect you want something else

  Heliboard isn’t perfect but is an openboard fork that has spell check, is getting active development, and is on F-droid. There’s even a correction sensitivity setting. It’s the first time I’ve been able to move away from Swiftkey.

  I loved Lego Island but will never forgive Lego Island 2 for the bad disk that would crash after 3/4 of the game. I never got to finish it.

  Rock Raiders & Lego Loco were great (if a little inadvisable in terms of the Lego Loco letters).
