Ah, I didn’t realise that. But I mostly use my Steamdeck docked for gaming on my TV so personally haven’t bothered looking into a screen upgrade.

You can also upgrade the storage and screen if you want.

As I was going to St Ives, I met a man with seven wives, Each wife had seven sacks, Each sack had seven cats, Each cat had seven kits: Kits, cats, sacks, and wives, How many were there going to St Ives?

True, but I believe technically the recording should only be viewed once (which of course would have been impossible to enforce). I wore those tapes out.

Whilst it wasn’t piracy in the strictest sense, it instilled the desire to collect media for as cheap as possible in me whilst I was still a pre-schooler.

Where’s the socks?

Mine was the VCR. I could record Postman Pat and watch it again any time I wanted. Blew my mind.

So it’s just paranoia then…

Yea, not going to lie that is probably the primary motivator here.

I don’t trust Chrome, Zoom or Teams, but sometimes have to use them. I will keep them in a separate VM but will look into Firefox profiles.

Such as?

It’s not that much work. I created a VM which is running the same distro as the host. I removed all of the apps except for the terminal. Then I cloned it for each VM I need.

The Whatsapp/ email client VM and the Librewolf VM start with my OS so it’s like having them in separate windows. The others I only start if needs be.

Mr Grumpy

Sounds about right

I’m also based in the UK. I don’t run a business but have occasionally encountered problems trying to use Librewolf on the web, especially with Noscript on.

I tried to use Qubes to separate my activities into VMs but I found it difficult. So I did my own, less extreme, approach using KVM.

I created a virtual machine which only has Chrome on it. This is what I use for accessing my bank, Paypal and doing online shopping.

I have a second machine I use for Whatsapp and email and finally a third with Librewolf for general web browsing.

Each uses the same VPN service but different servers.

I only use Freetube and Retroarch on my main machine.

This is on a very beefy Thinkpad I essentially use as a desktop in my office. I use a smaller machine downstairs with VNC on it as a remote when I’m sat on my sofa.

Oh dear, some right wing arseholes are being right wing arseholes. Anyone who is shocked at this is basocally the same as everyone wjo freaked out by Trump’s “grab 'em by the pussy” comments.

Lol, did it have “Revenge list” at the the top crossed out?

“Short-term thinking has been the fatal tendency of the Conservative governments to which Britain has been subjected since 2010…”

Pretty sure short term thinking has been the problem with all Conservative governments in living memory. They treat the country like a crooked CEO treats a business. Get in, strip and sell as many assets as possible, make as much money for yourself as you can, get out whilst it all crumbles behind you. Who gives a fuck if it ruins the lives of all the little people? They were lucky to have your amazing leadership in the first place and they just need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, never mind that those bootstraps are now in your pocket.

A prime example is Thatcher’s government and their “right to buy” scheme that decimated council housing stock and is still causing housing problems to this day.

Exactly. I’m not worried though. There are so many alternatives these days.

Oh sweet Christ I hope you’re right 🤞

True. I can’t understand why anyone would choose having the newest features over stability. But each to their own.
