Ha ha, amazing! I salute your fortitude in getting through them all 😁

I agree that it’s amazing, but it’s fine for them not to like it IMO. I loved it but it’s quite challenging and the style wouldn’t be to everyone’s taste :-)

I managed one page and gave up. Dreadful stuff.

Sounds fun! 😁

A few suggestions:

B52s - Rock Lobster
Smoke City - Underwater Love
PJ Harvey - We Float
The Beatles - I’m Looking Through You
Sebastian (Little Mermaid) - Under the Sea

Exactly.

What do you mean you’ve never been to Alpha Centuri?

Oh ok, that’s a shame. I’ve got to Level 32 on the YT one, can’t recall if there was an office level or not though. Weird that it’s not working for you 😞

If it helps, Hole is also playable on YouTube with no ads or transactions : https://youtube.com/playables/UgkxQ-N_EoDel6nf1kv88iwStYkdw2fqekH1

Assuming it’s the same game, of course.

Hyperspace bypass.

As a counterpoint to that, after WW2 the UK created the National Health Service, comprehensive education and the rest of the welfare state, while nationalising many huge industries. For the UK that was pretty radical stuff, and it lasted until the 1980s when Thatcher and her mob started tearing it all apart.

Whether you’d call that modern I’m not sure, but it wasn’t traditional either.

I agree with this, and yet British politics currently feels a lot more fragmented now than it used to.

The Tories are likely looking at being reduced to a rump at the next GE, and Labour will probably get a kicking too, unless they smarten up their act toot sweet. Meanwhile Reform will likely gain a lot of seats (vomit) and the Greens may start to get towards double digits. And the Lib Dems will likely just keep on Lib Demming along.

I think there’s a very real chance of a proper hung parliament next time with no obvious stable majority coalition possible:

• Reform perhaps to win the most seats (although I am desperately hoping that their claimed support will not translate into as many seats as they think) and try to partner up with the Tories and maybe some of the Ulster Unionists
• Labour to probably lose half their seats, and be forced to look at possible LD, Green, maybe even SNP partnerships.

And possibly neither side able to put together a working coalition that would last for very long.

In which case, FPTP would have done the opposite of the two party system and led to even more divisions! Fun! 🤪

Any thread on any topic is a good place to discuss Linux

😁😁😁

Didn’t really mean to do this, but I ended up watching the entire Back to the Future trilogy the other night, not finishing until about 2am. That was fun, not seen those movies, especially 2 and 3, for ages.

I usually have 50-70 tabs open, spread across 6-8 windows.

Each window is for a particular client, usually with various pages from their website, plus the equivalent CMS editing page, their socials, etc. I’m regularly doing a small job for one client here, another there, and so on, so it’s easier to just leave them open.

I also usually have at least one or two windows with my own stuff - Lemmy, BlueSky, a football ⚽ forum I use, YouTube, BBC News, etc.

It’s messy, but it works on the whole. It’s a pain whenever I need to restart or run updates though, since I need to check every tab to make sure it’s safe to close! 😁

Yeah, true.

I still use a traditional forum, so in that sense I don’t miss them, no 😁

I knew about the periods thing, but not the + thing, that’s very useful - will definitely try to start doing that, thanks for the info 👍

What if they’re on the side of your face, and you have heaving breaths?

Seconded, non alcoholic Guinness is excellent.

I also like the NA forms of:

• Corona
• Peroni
• Warsteiner
• Erdinger

Had a few other good ones but can’t recall which they were.

Others have mentioned the Rusty Lake series, but I’ll mention it again, as those games are great.

I’m a big fan of Golf Blitz, although I haven’t played in a while as my screen is cracked and it’s harder to play as a result (got a few unresponsive areas). The game is a lot of fun, and although you can pay to advance, I made it to the top level without paying a penny or watching any ads.

Others I’ve enjoyed:

• Antiyoy
• Minecraft (obvious, but works well on mobile)
• Colorzzle
• Gorogoa
• A puzzle series with colour names (Black, Green, Pink, etc) by developer Bart Bonte
• OK Golf
• Prune
• The Room games
