My gut reaction to this article was probably the same as a lot of people here “this is just baby boomers complaining about younger people again” and it kinda is, but it’s mostly a targeted parliamentary review into the effects of ageism on the older generation, and I would expect the government to do a similar review on the younger generation, if they haven’t already.

I do believe that pinning negative stereotypes on whole generations is wrong. It was wrong when the boomers did it to the millenials, it is wrong when millenials do it to gen z, and it’s wrong to go the other way.

Where does all the power and wealth concentrate? Amongst the boomers and older Gen x. Are they all wealthy and powerful? Fuck no! We’re all being exploited by the top 0.1% of the population, let’s not forget that.

Hmmm, I must be cycling into a headwind constantly.

This is why calorie count alone is an imperfect measure of how “healthy” a food is.

Also, I’m pretty sure that even the idea of calories is flawed, and practically useless as a nutrition indicator.

I probably should have seen that already.

Thank you

Does anyone have a link to a technical review of DeepSeek? Dataset analysis for example. All I have managed to find so far are articles about how much of a “disrupter” this will be.

Yeah I remember that time very well. Unfortunately I don’t think the campaign in favour of AV was handled very well, the opposition were able to just churn out lies and fear-mongering without having effective push back.

This is why we need voting reform, and also why we probably won’t get it

FF14 is my top pick for a pleasant and active MMO experience.

I have been looking into setting up a pixelfed server, but I don’t know if I could afford to run it at the moment.

This was way more wholesome than I thought it was going to be.

Carrie Underwood doesn’t surprise me, but The Village People news hurts.

Well, to be fair it wasn’t just her. Kwasi Kwarteng helped too!

Personally, I love to tinker (especially on my main machine) so I don’t mind the complexities of setting up neovim. However, I do mess around with a bunch of servers, and I like to edit code on those servers, meaning I am often installing/compiling neovim and copying over my config before I can get to work.

What I am liking about helix is the idea that its default setup has what I need to get started straight away.

I am looking forward to giving helix a go.

That’s a good enough excuse for me to try it! Thanks.

No positive change happened as a result of 2008, and I doubt any change will happen if there was an equal or even greater crash now.

The only way change will happen is if people demand it. The collective trauma of WW2 was enough to bring about change almost as if the populous went “That was shit, now we deserve something better”. That, and the fear of communist thought taking hold pushed the governing class to action.

Just out of interest, what are the reasons someone would move from neovim to helix?

It’s about a 24 minute walk or a 17 minute journey by bus

If you’re willing to take the plunge and spend more time in the terminal you could give neovim a try.

To turn it into an IDE contender you can use LazyVim to automatically setup a bunch of quality of life improvements.

It’s a bit of a commitment to learn but it is super rewarding when you get it.

Looks like next year you will have to fire up a windows VM and play a game for 5 minutes, and then safely return to the warm embrace of your cosy Linux system.
