  • I’m English and agree with OP. What we’ve done to countless nations over the past few centuries is fucking deplorable, all in the name of racism and wealth hoarding. Sure, it was nothing to do with me, but Brexit tells me that I’m surrounded by fuckwits who would gladly oppress other countries all over again in the name of British ‘superiority’.

    Did you know that independence from British rule is the leading cause of national holidays across the world?

    I’m 44 and am really quite sick of having to be aware of drinking enough water.

    Until just a few short years ago I could just crack on and not think about it. If my mouth was dry as Gandhi’s flip flops, I’d have a drink, otherwise I wouldn’t think about it.

    Now I start to feel like shit, and can’t figure out why, until I remember that i’ve only had a pint of water today and could probably stand to drink some more.

    It’s bullshit.








  • As someone who uses and enjoys a MacBook, but who has recently moved away from iOS; one of the biggest problems I have with tech right now is how much ALL of the companies cripple their products so as to not cannibalise another. And I think Apple are the worst for it.

    I have a 6th gen iPad mini. Its form factor is perfect for hand held reading, social media, and the like. If I could plug it into a monitor and use Stage Manager to carry out light computing tasks it would be perfect. But Apple decided it simply wasn’t powerful enough, so didn’t enable it. It absolutely could do that, but that would have been one less selling point for the Airs and Pros. So Apple restricted it.

    I’m old enough to remember when you’d buy computing stuff that had no restrictions beyond what it was physically capable of. You could buy a shitty graphics card and you could play a game, but if the card wasn’t up to the task it would run like crap. There are games and apps you literally cannot buy for lower end models of Apple devices. If you’ve already bought it on a device that can run it, it’s not available to another that can’t.

    All so they can maintain their air of quality.

    Fuck Apple. They make great hardware, but they’re run by cunts.
