Britain doesn't use commas for decimal points, that's a mainland European thing.

If anything it'd probably annoy right wingers because it vocally blames humanity for environmental disaster.

Yeah I'm sure someone who doesn't think much could definitely watch the show and come away thinking vaccines are dangerous, but that's not the angle it pulls. It relies on there being only one vaccine manufacturer, that everybody takes it, and that nobody outside the scheme actually tests the vaccine.

Of course in the real world multiple companies manufacture the same vaccine and they're tested by numerous organisations, so it falls apart pretty quickly.

Still a good show though.

I recently watched Utopia, British show about a super secret group putting naughty stuff in a vaccine.

Their plan hinged on every person being so afraid of a pandemic that everybody takes the vaccine. This was made pre COVID of course, because we now know that would never work.

That's why bandcamp is one of the few places I'll willingly spend money on digital media. DRM-free downloading in flac format? Yes please.

AdGuard Home, it's a DNS level ad blocker similar to PiHole

Had a very similar experience at the end of last year. Was sick of the bullshit all the providers were pulling and set up jellyfin.

Now running that on a pi so we've got our own streaming platform with movies and shows that you'd either need at least three separate services for or just outright won't find if you don't pirate.

I like it, but I'm not exactly a power user and the only other distros I've used are Ubuntu and mint. I think if you want a Debian based distro that's not tied to Ubuntu then Mx is a good choice. I know there's LMDE too but as far as I know that's only available with cinnamon, so Mx having KDE plasma is nice too.

There's the whole sysvinit Vs systemd but I don't have a dog in that fight and enabled systemd, which Mx makes very easy even though they advise against it.

Did the same thing in November with MX Linux. Haven't needed to boot into Windows once.

I used to eat steak well done until I made it myself for the first time and massively misjudged the timings. Came out medium rare and it was amazing. Do it that way every time now.

But people acting like well done steak is a crime against nature is so bizarre.

Man is too much for me. I can't handle that many words at once, which is why I like using tldr

ConSumo is an amazing minigame in Bully. It's the standard "eat thing to get bigger" type game but it's just done really well.
