- Comment on Emperor of overpromising Peter Molyneux says he's done with games after Masters of Albion, which is also his 'redemption title' 1 week ago:
I just finished playing the first Death Stranding. If I didn’t know it was by Hideo Kojima going in, I sure as hell knew by the end of the first hour.
Incredible game, mind.

SAULT, and Pepa
- Comment on Bike thefts at stations 'decriminalised' 2 weeks ago:
My lad’s bike was nicked from a train station a few months back. He’d left it there, locked in the rack while he was at work. You know, pretty standard stuff.
BTP told him they weren’t going to investigate it because it was left for longer than 2 hours.
I’m still fucking angry about that.

That was the sole reason given for the divorce.
- Comment on What's your test for people? 2 weeks ago:
If that’s the case, then why make the bins available for the public to use?
- Comment on What's your test for people? 2 weeks ago:
My ex wife always refused to put her shit in the bin at McD’s on the basis that someone was paid to do it.
No. Someone was paid to wipe the table down, not pick up your shit.

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 4 weeks 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... 4 weeks 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... 4 weeks 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? 5 weeks ago:
In most of the world, they are. And most of the world doesn’t have fascists in charge.
- Comment on Too soon? 5 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 1 month 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? 1 month 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.

- Comment on I genuinely can't wait for Mobile Linux to become a thing 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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.
