From is underrated? I didn’t know that, been watching it religiously.

An older favorite of mine was The 4400 (the reboot is absolute dogshit though). Unfortunately they cancelled it after 4 seasons, but the original authors published 2 books afterwards to finish the storyline.

Other series I enjoy that aren’t on most people’s radar (primarily for being British, mostly crime):

1. Vigil (crime series dealing with an investigation on board of a nuclear submarine, 2 seasons, closed storyline).
2. Unforgotten (crime, every season starts with an old body being discovered and then showing all people affected by the loss of said person over time until they eventually get closure. Highly empathic actors and excellent character development, season 6 currently being filmed).
3. Death in Paradise (iconic light entertainment crime series playing on a remote Caribbean island where changing inspectors from England with various degrees of clumsiness are being sent to solve murders. Every episode is usually a closed case. Season 14 to start end of year).

The OP is talking about the UK though.

The tax income of the government is a percentage of the GDP, and taxes are in the end where money for investments into infrastructure and other stuff comes from.

If investments must be done regardless, it means the government has to borrow money and pay it back plus interest in the future, which again is paid for with tax money.

So if the GDP sinks, future tax income must increase to balance it - either through an increase in GDP down the road, or through higher taxes.

A reduction in GDP also means that either local consumers aren’t buying as much, or exports are shrinking, both of which are negative indicators for the local labour market and lead to layoffs.

With no atmosphere and the sun going nova, there’s a chance of the rock getting obliterated. With a nice boost you might fly off to another planet eventually. Might not be inhabited or even inhabitable, but hey.

The article said that they track the movements of bodyguards. I doubt Trump or Biden use anything remotely related to fitness. Obama might have.

Like a bunch of dumpsters lined up on garbage collection day.

I’m still not entirely convinced it’s not a practical joke from Elon…

I’m using Fennec which also removes telemetry, but many standard users are not comfortable installing apps that aren’t on Google play.

They mention that the shared codebase means they can add functions back in, so there’s that. To me that reads like a hard fork that they’d have to maintain independently.

The link you shared is the company profile only and doesn’t mention any controversy about telemetry being shared with China.

I’ve been googling for a bit, and there are articles concerned this might happen from 2016 when the takeover was announced, and plenty of discussions on reddit, hacker news, y-combinator, quora and even on the official Opera forum (not deleted or redacted, mind you), but there wasn’t any clear evidence that telemetry is being shared.

While the concern remains valid, I’m also asking myself whether it’s that much worse than Chrome, Brave or Firefox sending telemetry to the US? I’m neither American nor Chinese, and would consider both governments hostile. Which one of them has access to my data is merely a choice between plague and cholera.

So in the end it’s on informed users to block transmission of telemetry themselves, regardless of their browser of choice.

151 including bots, and 551 communities (I usually browse by /all and just block everything I don’t care about, mostly anime, gaming, regional politics and sports).

That’s not butter then.

Butter should include 100% butter, full stop.

Butter oil sounds like clarified butter that’s been thickened up with milk powder or something?

True, but it’s the only thing you can do if your company forces you to use them…

How is that the app’s fault?

The browser versions of teams and outlook are surprisingly stable. The desktop software for both are beyond broken.

No, they really can’t. They own and operate the redditstatic domain and rent the server space from AWS. De jure that makes them the hoster.

Um… Did you read the article? It’s about moving their EU Headquarters from Ireland to the Netherlands. GDPR applied before and after. This is specifically about Irish censorship requirements.

That sounds a bit like “The Prince in Waiting” by John Christopher (more famous for “The Tripods”), it’s a trilogy also set in the distant future after a nuclear war, where all machines have been outlawed and humans exist alongside dwarfs and mutants. Over the course of the trilogy, the protagonists (living in fairly alright areas) venture deeper into more and more radiated areas and encounter grotesque stuff.

I wouldn’t really compare the pro version, when the regular one works better and has extendable storage via SD card and comes at $149 retail, with offers as low as $129 around.

Annual hardware revisions are nice and all, but in my understanding they don’t actually improve what the end user get to experience.

The main advantage I see in the shield is the ability to sideload apps, such as SmartTube for adfree youtube with integrated sponsorblock, ftp server, torrent client etc., and not least use VLC as a media player. Plus you can customize the launcher or replace it as a whole to tailor the UI to your exact needs.

Agree, of all the companies out there, Apple isn’t the one I entrust with my data. Pretty happy with my Nvidia Shield instead, the OS is open enough to allow monitoring all telemetry, and I’m happy to say that after switching everything off that Android enabled by default, nothing really gets out there. I’ve sniffed connections on my router as well, and it only really connects to where it should.

Edit: Aww look, I’ve triggered the fanboys ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Some local market, they are quite large. Think they are from Malaysia.
