Leah has said some dumb stuff but I think this particular separation from the GNU project was the correct decision. The dogmatic no blobs approach wasn’t working, it is better to reduce/minimise the binary blobs and support more devices imo. Don’t agree with their previous actions though.
Not entirely the case anymore. Libreboot switched to a blob reduction policy in order to support more hardware. Hopefully this will bring things forward quite a bit over the next year.
I’m in a similar situation. Finding a good installer is tricky. I’m in a terraced property so similar there as well because there’s very little space to install an air source pump. In an ideal world everyone would have 27mm piping but in my case I could get away with less and some better insulation. Sure it might not achieve the maximum efficiency possible but I’d hazard it’s at least a better than our current boiler.
For now though I’m probably going to stick with the boiler with an OpenTherm stat to keep it running low. I’ll try and bump up our insulation and hopefully things improve in a couple of years when the boiler gives up the ghost.
Same. I just didn’t have any use for signal after SMS removal. Yes I know SMS is insecure but I was stuck. Either you use a separate secure app and magically convince everyone else to use it whilst falling back onto a separate SMS app anyway (for those who don’t use the encrypted app). Or alternatively you just have to use a mainstream app like Google Messenger with SMS plus RCS.
At least when signal supported it I could migrate family to signal and then our communication would be encrypted and they could still message everyone else over SMS. It meant a large portion of my messages were encrypted. After SMS removal everyone I had on signal just quit so there was no one to communicate with. Trying to get people to use multiple apps was like herding cats.
Don’t know if it’s just me but the UK seems to have an involuntary fear of heat pumps despite them being far more efficient if installed correctly. Especially since we demolished all our gas storage. Can’t wait for it to become another part of the culture war they’re trying to spin this election. Something something environmentalists stealing your boiler and leaving your grandma in the cold.
I also cannot understand why we don’t promote modulating thermostats like the OpenTherm protocol more. Literally lowers your bill for the same amount of heat if you have a modern boiler.
I’m pretty sure the haunted Victorian pencil that is Jacob Rees-Mogg said that the UK not having universal USB-C was a “Brexit benefit”. God help us all.
On behalf of Britain - please don’t
Didn’t know they were unsuccessful but still…wtf just bizarre behaviour
And used a GPS tracker on their vehicle so they could advertise sexual ads on Craigslist at their house. Wtf.
AMD has been putting a lot of L3 cache on their consumer CPUs. The 5800X3D has 96mb of L3 cache.
Somehow it’s up
His legal basis is that he thinks he’s right
Truly the darkest timeline.
10 years ago if someone had told me that in the future the tantrums of a billionaire petulant manchild would decide what features are available in your already paid for car I wouldn’t have believed them.

Honestly this. It’s so nice to not have to hunt for a specific library that depends on 20 other libraries. I’d rather pay in disk space than deal with that.
God the ramifications of this are honestly terrifying and I’m not even a US citizen.
