Have you paid for a service that uses AWS though? Youay never know if you’ve funded the big A.

I couldn’t swim until I was maybe 10 or 11 and it was awful. Thankfully my parents moved and my school mandated lessons - but I wasn’t confident until maybe my late teens/early twenties?

I think kids should learn as early as possible and it makes me a bit sad that my niece and nephew haven’t learned yet (and are unlikely to as their schools don’t teach them and my sibling doesn’t seem interested in getting them lessons or teaching them). We live on an island with a lot of water inland - it’s more important than other stuff like riding a bike!

Wacky

Is that because he’s Austrian and speaks - from what I can gather - the German equivalent of redneck English?

It was built with AI, so articles will scream about it being a triumph of whatever engine made it.

It’s very easy.

Chrome let’s you do “install” websites to home screen, Firefox allows saving shortcuts to home screen.

The annoying thing is that you can’t save them to the app drawer (at least on vanilla android), so if you have a clean home screen you have to sacrifice that.

I love open worlds. I hate crafting. Just let me buy what I need; it feels more immersive to me. Same with games like the Assassin’s Creed series - there’s no way some fake Irish pirate is making leather holsters in his ships bedroom out of rabbit hide and bearskins.

And why does where you swipe down on the notification bar change what’s shown?!

I’m British - he regularly appeared on a wannabe Fox network “GB News” alongside a similarly “anti woke activist” Lawrence Fox (who is his own flavour of unseemly), was (is?) a spokesman for UKIP - the party which drove us to Brexit. I’ve taken an interest in him when I saw his dog collar and questioned his church membership, so I occasionally check in on him to piss myself off and generally increase my blood pressure.

I also used to be a practicing Christian so I’m very into denominational splitting and infighting - he studied theology, didn’t get a job with the Church of English and was then ordained into the “Free Church of England”, where he became a bishop. He’s bounced around a few other denominations since; the Nordic Catholic Church, a Lutheran denomination, and now the Anglican Catholic Church.

Him being blocked from entering the Anglican Church of England (the real actual one which is linked to the royals) was reported in fairly mainstream news here. It seems like the church was actually pretty tight lipped on their reasoning for him not taking a position with them, and he’s basically outed himself as too bigoted for the church by handing over to the press internal communication regarding him he secured through an effective FOI request.

He’s an interesting chap.

I have to use an iPhone for work and I don’t understand a vast amount of the UI choices - and that’s before data fuckery.

He literally wasn’t ordained by the Anglican Church because of his “anti woke” views. He joined a knock off church which wasn’t desperately to be part of the catholic church (but, and I can’t stress this enough, isn’t at all). He’s cosplaying being a vicar for clout while being a fucking worse bigot than two of the largest organised denominations.

The “Anglican Catholic Church” is actually not affiliated with either the holy see (the “actual” Roman Catholic Church) or the Anglican Church (as headed by the Archbishop Canterbury and the King of England).

He joined it because he didn’t make the cut to become an actual Anglican Priest because of

concerns about Robinson’s “libertarian anti-woke, anti-identity politics, Covid-sceptical” political views and his use of social media, particularly Twitter, to disseminate them."

Make this a normal restriction please, UK Govt.

The ideal scenario is that we get good old Gay Space Communism™ but until then it’s probably going to be mutual aid and community organisation that keep the rest of us semi-functioning.

I feel this way about most love recordings of podcasts (or anything for that matter, with the exception of standup comedy) - if I wanted live episodes I’d go see them live.

My phone service provider used to do daily roulette type giveaways.

I won a free return flight to basically anywhere in Europe.

I actually never did anything with it, because at the time I couldn’t afford to pay for someone else to go with me (I would have gone with my partner).

I regret not just flying on my own, but them’s the rubs - I was, and am, a bit of an idiot.

I also once won a game key by making a funny YouTube comment on a Unit Lost video once too - but I never used that either; it wasn’t a game I was interested in, I just liked to watch the vids for a bit of a laugh.

I don’t win much, but when I do I squander my wins.

Justice!

At least you can fork ff

The right answer is “yes”. Some cash in the moment is a nice thing to do, and will alleviate an immediate want or need potentially.

Donation to an organisation that will help the problem long term is a worthwhile thing to fund.

Why not give a man a fish to eat while you’re teaching them to fish for themselves, if you’re in a position to do so?

You could have asked him what he wanted first, if anything at all?
