No, I’m suggesting that any death will be announced as an attempt of the government to murder the elderly.

As it always has, and always will be.

It doesn’t even have to be due to it. If a pensioner doesn’t turn on their heating then its Labours fault even if the pensioner could have afforded it.

Or if the pensioner did have the heating on but it hadn’t been serviced and they still died from the cold, you know the rags will spin it. Labour cuts fuel allowance and old dears die. Its not sketchy phrasing, its predictable Tory spin.

So the problem is crappy guides?

I was of the opinion that anything that suggested the terminal was purely for speed reasons.

Average Windows guide. Click here, dismiss the warning, click here, click here, close the advert, click next, type in 1, accept, reboot.

Average Linux guide, go to Gnome Tweaks, third option, type in 1, no reboot required. Or open a terminal and paste the following command.

It’s precise, it’s concise, and it’s fast but it’s not required.

the are so many desktop environments

I completely disagree. There is Gnome with 70% of the market, KDE with 30%, and then various hacked together desktops with <1%. Guides should be set up for Gnome because you stick with defaults if you are that scared, maybe a reference for KDE, and if you chose something else then your already in copy/paste commands territory.

There was no part of me setting up SteamOS on my couch PC that required a terminal, which is what we are talking about here.

Zero.

Steam doesn’t require any terminal opening, the hard part are shitty Windows games that pop up boxes to install extra stuff because for some reason they can’t install it when you install the game.

I haven’t been required to use the terminal for anything in years.

Honestly. I’ve been using Linux as my daily driver since the mid-2000’s (Warty Warthog?), and the only times the terminal gets opened these days is through pure choice. Maybe 10 years ago I would agree with you.

I’m running Linux for my couch based gaming and the experience is awesome. Much better than Windows ever was.

What makes you think that Linux is holding Linux back? The UI can be completely customised which makes Steam OS wonderful to use while Microsoft completely ban any customised interface out of the box.

Windows is only popular through inertia.

The only reason I mention Frarage was the rest of the language in that piece was a bit off.

Ed Davey is alright, he is fun yet also completely sincere.

That Labour needs a Farage like face at the front to make it “fun”, or are you thinking more Ed Davey?

Not if you dont actually make them.

Depends if you go to Kentucky Fried Pigeon.

That’s high in calories.

What? Who introduced the Soft Drink levy?

You can’t say that anymore.

What are they wanting to say, that they feel they can’t?

You’ve used the wrong pronoun.

Oh, here we go.

Funny jokes are welcome.

That was more the type of thing the annoying kid at the back of the class shouts out, where even their friends tell them to shut up.

I had PS+ on the PS 3 & 4 when they moved to the new system.

I was grandfathered in and got the top tier for a lower tier price, and even then it was hard to justify.

I’m sticking to Steam for the most part these days, and using consoles for retro gaming. Excellent PS3 and early PS4 games can be picked up for cheap.

Ah, fuck I thought of that damn jump. I spent months trying to get over it, until someone found that it was small enough that you could walk over it.

Yeah, either that or for something that big I could get some USB 3.2 ports on a PCIe card.

I was just hoping for something a bit more compact and with high speed ports.

Old school Apple would have a load of high speed connectivity on the minis, but unfortunately it isn’t what they do these days.

Has 2 USB 3.1. Looks like a terrible option.

I just want loads of USB ports. The CPUs are fast enough for self hosting, but connectivity is now the most important.

Any mini PCs with 4+ usb3.2 or higher?

It’s a difficult one, as you can’t optimise for everyone. However if someone is really so disabled that they can’t travel independently to the point that walking down a road is problematic then they are really going to struggle with Oxford St. today.

All the busses and taxis running down the middle of the road will prevent them from crossing to access all the other shops. They would probably be better off visiting one of the many other shopping areas rather than a tourist trap.
