Oh, the memories come flooding back! As a young bench engineer, I used to repair these Toshiba luggables! IIRC the screens were quite unreliable..

Google has some nerve to tell me that Signal is trying to spy on me 🤣

Change is good, but change needs to be managed. I have a manjaro box with plasma and a choice of X11 or wayland session.

In the wayland session viewing images scaled in gwenview delivers images which are not properly scaled more like postage stamps in a sea of black. My customised favourite list is squashed and order change.

I've no idea if this is a plasma issue or wayland issue. I don't care, I just want it to work So X11 for now.

*A Working Class Tory's not something to be*

And so they should! It was idiocy to vote Tory in the first place. These are people who can least afford to vote Tory and now Tory incompetence hits them, they want out.

I will say it again. You cannot be working class and vote Tory. Hells bells, even those who think they're middle class can't afford to vote Tory.

Working class deserting Tories in droves under Rishi Sunak, poll finds

But report says Labour lead is much narrower among working-class voters than electorate as a whole and urges focus on fairness

Any software developers in my reach currently unemployed? I am, and while I’m working on a few side projects, I miss not having a team to bounce ideas and random dev chit-chat on a daily basis.

Anyone feeling the same or open to have some informal group chat? Or know a small community I could join?

I’d appreciate a boost, thank you.

But yes, the authorities are in the pockets of governments and big business and not acting for the public who fund them.

Would anyone recomment an IP #camera that will work purely locally, with no cloud etc connections, available in EU (PL)? Most likely will be inside, though ones able to survive outdoors are appreciated as well. Ideally to be connected with #HomeAssistant and/or #Frigate (once I get around to setting that up 😅 ) #HomeAutomation
