Blackmist,

Hey, at least your bugs didn’t result in the prosecution of 700+ sub-postmasters. Silver linings and all that.

Blackmist,

Wasteful. Just use an Amiga IFF file.

Blackmist,

They already fucked up music earlier in the year, so I’m now fully out.

Blackmist,

The idea is that the average person earning will pay the UBI amount back in tax. The taxation systems will all have to be adjusted. It’s not free money on top of what we have now.

Most people will not be significantly better off under UBI, just a base level that we can’t go below, that will be there for any reason from “can no longer work” to just “want a break from it all”.

Blackmist,

Prefer to go the other way around.

Blackmist,

Complete with adverts for shops that no longer exist.

Blackmist,

Ours was The Ugly Dachshund.

Even though it was from 1966, I think the youngest person in it was Mako.

I couldn’t find a single person from it who is still alive.

It’s on Disney+. It’s not great, but it was on a tape my parents used to put on for me so they could be undisturbed for an hour. I didn’t even like the film that much, but there were two Chip and Dale cartoons at the end, so I watched it to get to them.

Blackmist,

I’m still waiting for the Birds Aren’t Real people to reach through the generations to become a liberal conspiracy.

Blackmist,

And by sausage, they mean a thin frankfurter, not a proper sausage. And the bread looks more like a cake.

Think I’ll stick to the English chip shop battered sausage.

Blackmist,

This is baby John C Reilly and you can’t convince me otherwise.

Blackmist,

Does FLauncher have any downsides?

Finally got everything set up and playing full quality audio from everything, and don’t want to break it all now.

Blackmist,

Good old Windows ME.

Blackmist,

I like Colm Meany, but every picture I’ve ever seen of him looks like somebody has Photoshopped his face to be slightly smaller, like the old Woll Smoth memes.

Blackmist,

Apparently it’s to do with cloud password saving.

Blackmist,

Is that a rain coat?

Blackmist,

I prefer movieuniverse.se, but mostly for older movies.

For newer stuff it’s streaming or the servarr stack. I didn’t buy all these speakers to listen in stereo.

Blackmist,

National Treasure is fucking awful though.

It’s certainly no The Mummy (Brendan and Rachel obviously, not Tom’s shitty effort that killed the whole “Dark Universe” franchise two movies in), which is about where I draw the line on popcorn guff.

Blackmist,

Think you’ll have to take screen shots. That’s a pretty good way of stopping you downloading it.

Or just email and ask them for a copy. It’s not Harry Potter or anything, there’s no reason it shouldn’t be free if you ask the right person.

Blackmist,

You don’t even build from source?

What kind of Linux users are you?

Blackmist,

No, it’s got a mixer box (for want of a better word) in the attic that’s plugged into the mains.

There’s a wireless dial that talks to that, and the water itself comes from the gas combi boiler, rather than electrically heated.

I think it was this one.

mirashowers.co.uk/…/mira-mode-dual-shower-ceiling…

Quite a bit more expensive than a regular thermostatic mixer shower, but since I was having the whole bathroom done I figured why not spend a bit extra on some nicer stuff. The labour is still the most expensive part by far.

Blackmist,

With no other income at all?

The point of UBI is that you could just live off that if you were frugal.

Everybody gets it of course, but you’d lose 10% of your current wages too. Everyone under $80k would be better off, everyone over that would be worse off.

The thing with UBI is that you’d lose all other state benefits too. Pretty much anything means tested would go and be replaced with one payment that everyone gets.

Blackmist,

You guys are getting to see your doctors?

CHROME (google) is planing to implement DRM (kinda) into their browser (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

looks like rendering adblockers extensions obsolete with manifest-v3 was not enough so now they try to implement DRM into the browser giving the ability to any website to refuse traffic to you if you don’t run a complaint browser ( cough…firefox )...

Blackmist,

Half the internet now seems to be bots creating content purely for the enjoyment of other bots. Typing any kind of difficult question into a search engine will now have you dodging a minefield of AI generated articles, none of which contain any useful information other than what they’ve scraped from other AI generated pages.
