I played their version of The Trooper on my radio show last week. Seemed go down very well indeed.

D, because I’m British and can’t trust them forrins to not put too much spice like salt in my food.

It is, as it happens.
- Comment on Outsourcing 1 week ago:
I’ve gone one step further: my wife’s boyfriend fucks my wife for free, meaning it costs me nothing to keep working at my business.
- Comment on Hmm this "unisex" bathroom seems biased... 1 week ago:
I had a cat that trained me to sit down to pee.
The only time I could ever get her to purr was when when I was sat on the toilet. So, of course, I began sitting down to pee in order to maximise her purring and fusses. And it kinda stuck.
- Comment on Hmm this "unisex" bathroom seems biased... 1 week ago:
I once jokingly mentioned to my wife that leaving the seat up is just as convenient for me as leaving it down is for her. To which she pointed out that, of the four different permutations of toilet use between us, 3/4 require the seat to be down, so all in all, it makes sense to leave the seat down.
And dammit, I had to marry a logical autistic, didn’t I?
So now I always (try to remember to) leave the seat down.

Ok buddy.
- Comment on Too soon? 2 weeks ago:
In most of the world, they are. And most of the world doesn’t have fascists in charge.
- Comment on Too soon? 2 weeks ago:
Meanwhile, your “working class” is armed to the teeth and fascism is still running amok.

Jesus these cunts are fucking stupid.
- Comment on Not stealing 4 weeks ago:
My kid went through the same phase all kids do of refusing to go to bed.
So one night he’s grabbing on to the baby gate at the top of the stairs like a con in a prison movie, screaming and yelling. I’m at the bottom of the stairs trying to ignore him.
He fixed a stare directly at me, stopped screaming, and shit in his pants.
So yeah, 100% of parents have arsehole kids.
- Comment on What’s even the appeal of Linux? 4 weeks ago:
installing anything
I’ve been using Mint and KDE Neon on two of my machines for the past year, and I still have to search for how to install an app image properly.
Its one of those things that isn’t the end of the world, and I guess there are increasing numbers of Snap/Flatpak packages. And, of course apt. And whatever application manager your distro comes with.
But some software is available either to be compiled by the user, or as an app image. And I don’t understand why that image can’t just be dropped in an application folder and run, the same way it works in macOS.
But I’m a relative noob. I assume there’s a historical reason.

Surely not Elton?!
- Comment on I genuinely can't wait for Mobile Linux to become a thing 4 weeks ago:
It pains me to say, but the stock Google camera app is by far and away the best option I’ve yet found on Graphene. Which has to pair with the Photos app, or you can’t actually do anything with the photos it takes.
However, you don’t have to sync either with Google (though you do have to sign in), you can set Graphene to only allow them access to the folder they need (while they think they have wider access), and you can turn off network permission.
- Comment on I genuinely can't wait for Mobile Linux to become a thing 4 weeks ago:
I looked into Ubuntu Touch last week as a potential alternative to Graphene on my Pixel 9.
The most recent Pixel it supports is the 3.
So Graphene it is then…
- Comment on I genuinely can't wait for Mobile Linux to become a thing 4 weeks ago:
My bank app doesn’t work with Graphene, which is a pain in the arse, but not the end of the world. I mean, they still have a website I can log into.

Yes, and it’s ad-riddled nonsense.
The BBC runs no adverts, save for trailers of its own stuff.

Brit here. I can see the uncensored image through a VPN. For which I have a licence, obviously.

I adore Viz.
They once printed the finest letter ever penned.
Also, this advert for flat roof pubs will never not make me hoot.
- Comment on Anon watches youtube 1 month ago:
I mean, the vast, vast majority of entertainment media is an act. Do you watch Top Gear and assume that everything they did happened organically?
