I'd also like to see this damning evidence (that I am sceptical will ever be shared)

Breaking news: Snake oil salesman claims snake oil is the answer

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.

Yes. I'm not sure if it's my lack of gundam universe knowledge or what but I am pretty much zoned out for everything except the clan battles storyline. Still love the show's style but this episode felt like the least coherent so far.

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.

is £35 a high cost for one of these? It would be 1 per property, sounds alright to me.

For your other questions I think this paragraph suggests they are good to go really (not sure about cleaning, do people clean out bird boxes?):

According to Bourne-Taylor, multibillion profit-making housebuilders have signalled in high-level government meetings they have no objections to the bricks, which are widely made by conventional brick manufacturers. There is already a British Standard for them, which means there’s no government investment required for development, guidance or standardisation.

I strongly recommend symfonium on android. Plexamp is a really polished app but I found the handling of downloaded files quite poor, I don't think you can even search downloads when you're offline? (other bonus to symfonium is it supports jellyfin and sources, in case you were to ever fully move away from plex)

I have definitely seen worries about tailscale in other threads related to a recent VC funding round, I suppose they haven't aggressively started the enshittification journey (yet), and it is also a bonus that most of tailscale is open source, e.g. headscale exists.

If tailscale started reducing the free service # of devices/users to push people towards their paid 'personal plus' plan then maybe we'd see a similar backlash. I say this as a tailscale user myself.

I'd also like to hear more about it. I'm not sure I'll stick with proton after my sub next expires and infomaniak seems a strong competitor

I order mine from https://smol.com/uk. They come in a cardboard packet which fits through the letterbox. I was also fed up with the ridiculous and unnecessary amount of plastic in the supermarket equivalents.

You're right to be wary of unlimited. It's primarily a way for employers to avoid having to pay out accrued vacation time when staff leave. And create the competitive environment you mentioned over taking few days vs a lot. It seems great at first glance but I'd prefer a set number of days, no ambiguity that way.
