  • Also from Ireland. I’ve surprised even well read Irish people by suggesting capitalism is to blame for the various famines of the 19th century in ireland including the great famine.

    Usually get a ‘hmmm I’ve never thought of that’ despite the fact that some of these people have actually read about the causes of the famine, criticised the British insistence on ‘laissez faire’, but still didn’t somehow put two and two together and blame capitalism itself.












  • Pegasus frontend (I think, you’d need to look into it yourself) ticks all your boxes, and can be themed to look incredible but the setup process is highly involved.

    Personally, I gave up on it. Seems like a great program so you might think it’s worth the effort.

    Part of the reason I gave up, I should say, is that I’m using my pc as a home theatre device as well as a games console. I went with kodi and advanced emulator launcher instead, which was similarly involved (I had to write very basic shell scripts for each game, apart from the emulated games) but the difference is I was already using kodi for my live tv and video streaming interface




  • So that’s Mount for around £50m, Onana for £45m, presumably leaving around £50-60 million for Hojlund, and then whatever comes in from sales for a third or fourth choice centreback to replace Maguire and maybe another midfielder?

    I’d be happy with that to be fair.

    I’m playing championship manager in my head here but, assuming these new players actually work out, 1) a new goalkeeper to replace de gea 2) a new midfielder to replace eriksen 3) a new striker to replace ronaldo/weghorst/martial, 4) someone like amrabat to deputise for casemiro 5) a new centreback to deputise for Varane

    A hell of a transfer window if it plays out like that


  • I have no idea how realistic this is on mobile, and it’s probably not realistic at all, but have you looked into waydroid?

    It works great to run android apps on desktop linux.

    I doubt it’s feasible on mobile Linux right now, but I have no idea. Might be worth exploring for your use case


  • Mahbe this is fair, maybe it isn’t, but the general impression most people have of them and groups like them is that it’s mostly quite comfortable, upper middle class people causing pointless disruption in ways that primarily impact the ordinary working Joe.

    I’m almost certain this was extinction rebellion rather than just stop oil, but think of the protests to block motorways in England or disrupt train travel.

    What did that achieve? Made some people late for work. Is that radical or effective? No, and it’s annoying.

    Or when you think of just stop oil specifically, you might think of someone throwing soup on a painting or orange powder on a snooker table.

    What did that achieve? Again, annoyance for your ordinary working stiff who might have saved up quite a bit of money to travel to a fancy museum or bought a ticket to a snooker game.

    Is that radical or effective? No, and it’s annoying.

    The style of protest is largely ineffective, isn’t radical, and mostly just annoys the working class.

    Maybe if they started committing some genuinely radical acts, like executing oil executives for example, it might be different.

    Right now it just looks to most ordinary people like pointless annoyance by a bunch of wankers.

    Edit: Just to be clear, and I hope this doesn’t break any rules, I’m pro executing oil executives and anti pointless shit like holding up tube stations or vandalising art
