I know. Just I want to vote for a centre-left government that doesn’t privatise everything, doesn’t constantly attack the poor and vulnerable, and doesn’t have raging anti-European xenophobia. All the options in effect are just Tories with different colour rosettes.

What, you don’t know to use google (or any other search engine)?

Didn’t even vote and don’t regret it for a minute. They’re all the same, whoever’s in charge it’s always austerity, privatisation and war.

Worried about the latter part. Particularly as Starmer’s lot would absolutely replace the NHS with private insurance.

Unfortunately, given what has happened in the Netherlands since they legalised euthanasia, I can absolutely believe that people considered ‘economically unviable’ will be marched off to clinics be put down. Why else would austerity zealot Starmer be rushing through the legalisation of euthanasia?

To be fair, Crash butchered their page count to pay for the switch to having monthly cover tapes. Their specialist, more technical columns (comms, coding, etc) vanished when the tapes became a regular feature.

I’m happy still using MacOS. It’s what I was looking for in Windows (as in, not Windows, more stable, decent to use) without the pain of Linux. Haven’t liked some of the more recent additions to revisions of the OS, but most of those can thankfully (mostly) be turned off or sidestepped.

I have to admit that tried Linux in 2002, can’t remember the ‘type’ (likely was RedHat), and it put me off for life, TBH. Seemed intriguing, and at least I gave it it go…

I imagine a fair amount of those poor saps were catfished (or whatever the early ‘90s equivalent term was) as well. Possibly. Or most likely had replies almost entirely from software pirates asking for “contacts”.
