Sources suggest the extra expense is justified to enhance the image of the government

I’m assuming the image they were going for was fucking morons, if so well done, complete success.

This should be the definition of ‘letting perfect be the enemy of good’ Please stop using false oil lobby talking points to attack the transition to electric cars. Electric cars are an order of magnitude better for the environment than petrol/diesel, stop fighting big oils battle for them. Now let’s talk about how we can reduce road journeys through public transport, and reduce environmental impact of tires.

How about carving replacement buttons and bezel out of some hardwood? Finished with an epoxy based varnish it should resist the bleach fumes.

This is about the time when in the UK they stopped allowing digital membership cards (on a phone app) and forced you to install the Costco app.

I am trying to remove as many apps as possible and until this change just carried my driving licence and a backup credit card in my phone case.

Forcing their own tracking app nearly made me cancel my membership.

Unless you’re a baker, you should watch it one more time.

The new UK Studio is called Shinfield Studios. (Just realised I didn’t name it in my last message)

No personal experience or connections for you but we have just built a new film studio in Reading, Berkshire which is owned by a US company Shadowbox Studios.

May be worth seeing if you can get a job at Shadowbox in the US and being open to a possible transfer?

As others have said the UK is one of the most LGBTQIA+ friendly countries, your family would be welcomed here.

What is the most privacy focussed way to register a domain these days?

last time I did it was about 20 years ago and they pretty much just put your home address and telephone number in a Whois lookup.

I’ve come to the end of my patience with hotmail/live, my email is out there on a list so I get tens of spam mails a day and they almost never correctly identify them, but any new service I sign up to and it goes straight to spam.

Proton mail seems expensive for a single offering and the bundle has too many unnecessary things I don’t need. Also the lack of protocol support means you are restricted on clients you can use.

I’m pleased you posted this as I’m going to give all these a try too, but I’m becoming a pessimist and I’m thinking as soon as I’ve fully switched they will put up the price. Your personal email is becoming one of the hardest things to change.

My top priority is the ability to have individual addresses for each service I use going to a single inbox, that way if my email is leaked by a company, I can just nuke that alias, and I’ll know who leaked it. May be a good feature for you too?

Another unfortunate truth is that the Dildo of Consequence rarely comes lubed.
