If you use Mettle, the phone based bank, you get FreeAgent for free. FreeAgent is a really good web based accounting package that works in Firefox. They gave a useful accompanying API and can do payroll, VAT, end of year and director self assessment. It’s great.

Whilst it’s a shame this implementation sucks, I wish we would get intelligent traffic light controls that worked. Sitting at a light for 90 seconds in the dead of night without a car in sight is frustrating.

I’ve used Linux for decades but not for desktop usage. I work with Linux every day.

I recently purchased a high end workstation to act as a hypervisor for multiple desktop systems. The plan was to boot into a Linux system and then from there load up one of many desktop OS and work seamlessly within a VM. This has worked well on a Windows host with VMWare Workstation and allows me as a contractor to have separation of configuration between customers.

However I found Linux desktop to have too many glitches. From failed package installs, multiple monitor problems and some special keys being sent to both VM and host. I also found the user interface of some apps to be bad, which I can look past but with the other fundamental issues it added a bad taste to the experience. I really want it to work and I do go back every now and then to try again.

Hey come on. You sound far too reasonable.

Don’t you know this is the KDE community where we discuss topics about KDE hate on Windows.

Lemmy demographic feels like mostly Linux users.

Lemmy posters are on vegan level of promoting Linux, and sith level of hate on Windows.

But was copper an invention

But did you hear about SLICED bread!??

Reminds me of the package “cmatrix”

LVM allows online resizing of volumes, and includes redundancy features such as snapshots and raid.

It’s used a lot more in services than laptops.

The logo looks like an ASCII butt.

I use discord when playing video games with my daughter. It’s improved our experience immensely.

Audio chat, webcam and screen sharing are a great combination.

Can you recommend an alternative?

Sounds like you’re using a shittier prettier

What are these sizes from? All my Linux installs start with <20G root disks and end up with some spare.

And Windows at 72G? Whilst it’s more than Linux it’s not that much.

You’re not wrong. I take the view that our history, be it good or bad, is part of who we are as a people. However, I wouldn’t want Britain to abolish the monarchy without good reason, and something that occured in the here and now rather than the past.

There are some replies to this thread that have enlightened me on the power the monarchy holds, which I don’t agree they shoud have. I initially thought the monarchy was a symbolic relic, but it seems it’s not the case.

That is quite a damnig article. Thanks I understand your view on that now.

So we blame the sons for the crimes of their fathers.

That makes sense. I agree with that. Thank you.

I felt somewhat disheartened that the response of a guy announcing he has cancer is filled with such toxicity.

They have influence, not governing power. Sure you could argue they don’t deserve the influence they have just for being in that position. The main point however is questioning the /hate/. I know you’re not the poster who I was replying to, but I didn’t want to distract the point of my post. Why should we hate the monarchy so much?

It doesn’t explain why you have so much venom. I see the royal family as British heritage. I don’t see how having a monarchy with no real power has any effect on the day to day lives of British people. Certainly not enough to explain the hate.
