What OS doesn't do that, even linux has xdg dirs

The channel tunnel needs to be open at night, night bus is already a great way to travel benelux/rheinland to london but imagine a Berlin/Barcelona/Milan to UK night train it'd be great

They're native to Africa, Europe, West Asia & Central Asia, which covers around 3 billion people

East & South Asia have the Asiatic Honey Bee which is closely related enough that their introduction wouldn't disrupt the ecosystem as they fill the same niche in the same way

That leaves only around 15% of the global population somewhere European Honey Bees even have potential to become invasive, so it's a safe bet that they aren't for most people

Idk, last I checked the European Honey Bee was native, but I guess you could prefer bumblebees?

The correct plural is actually wug, or dialect weg.

The issue there is it benefits the current largest party

A system where all parties with >1% vote share get a fixed budget, with parties lower than that being required to source their own funding but not being allowed to spend more than the budget would be better as it'd allow for any realistic contender to not be as corrupt

Update:
I realised this would screw over regional parties like plaid & all Northern Irish parties... A system where funding is given per-seat but with a threshold of 5% of votes in that seat (same as to get your deposit back) would be better

Oh yeah I absolutely agree with monopoly abuse being a bad thing with a huge caveat that it's so much worse for essential services and not quite as bad for extras, like youtube. I personally can't see any competition to youtube being able to provide a better service - it's in a similar niche to Netflix where they were great until they got competition at which point the userbase and content fragmented, which meant they had to provide a worse service to make money as the content rights agreements made it into several small monopolies and so they were literally unable to compete, which is frankly worse

Ok, but equally any competition would need to be profitable earlier, you can't complain you got a service operating at a loss which is now operating at a profit when that's exactly what any alternative you'd feasibly switch to would do

Hey, you don't even need to be a part of [Input Empire Here], you can just be a Hitler megafan and change your time zone to impress Senpai (ahem, Spain)

Wow after all the lying and disinformation spreading the Tories have been doing (even compared to usual) I was really starting to think that Reform were the more reasonable and mature right wing party but I guess there are none... There's a huge gap in the market and it made sense for someone to fill it but I guess we'll have to wait for someone else

They're white light being separated into its wavelengths by passing though water, sounds like a rainbow to me

It's normal for most afaik but that's because manufacturers make a trimmed down phone to go on your wrist which means you have to charge it daily, without realising it's on your wrist so it doesn't need to be super slim with huge cuts to battery size to go in your pocket.

My garmin has an always on display, heart rate, steps, blood oxygen, thermometer, barometer and whatever else and yet still manages a 4 week battery life, 3 weeks with normal use (1h gps per day, using the touchscreen and higher brightness) or even around 50-60h of GPS/more frequent heart rate/active maps activity tracking

It's on 7% now and is giving me an estimated battery life of >2 days, which just shows how abysmal many smart watch battery lives are

Meta exist to make a profit, however they're never going to be able to advertise to most people in the fediverse, who also happen to be some of the most knowledgeable people in some fields. If they accept that they're never going to be able to advertise to those people, they go for the next best thing: monetising their content. Some here may rightfully have an issue with a corporation monetising their content, however by federating with the fediverse and being the first company able to monetise the content within it, Meta have a vested interest in not extinguishing the fediverse.

Complain about their privacy violations or them monetising content they don't generate as much as you want, but remember they're smart & money hungry, and the smartest thing they can do in their position is to make money out of people they otherwise wouldn't be able to.
