It's LGPL

Naming it "Fucksya" wouldn't be the best advertisement either

That will take years to be heeded, I'm sure. Even then, it's possible some companies will provide that access only to customers from the EU (given it removes the monopoly these companies hold on their services).

One major thing for me was just sticking to three --appropriately sized-- meals a day (and perhaps a snack later in the night). Doesn't really matter what the meals are. Grazing is a substantial reason why I gained a fair amount of weight.

That and switching from sugar in my teas and coffees, and getting diet when I occasionally drink pop.

I'm lucky enough that my walk commute to work is enough exercise for me.

AGPL then. It extends the meaning of "distribute", but is still FSF/OSI-approved

The £9k a year figure is mostly smoke and mirrors though. All British citizens are eligible for a tuition "loan" that covers it. That "loan" (and the maintenance loan too) is the equivalent of a graduate tax, as it's a percentage (9% for the current lot of students) charged on income made past a certain amount (above £25,000 for this lot). The loan is wiped 30 years after graduation (this what will happen for the majority of students).

I see no reason why this wouldn't be serious. To put these comments into context, it's in preparation of the government's Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill[1] coming before the Commons. The Bill would set up an Animal Sentience Committee to scrutinise policies' effects on sentient animals. The government have brought this forward in preparation of future changes to British animal welfare legislation, now Britain has legislative independence in this area, post-EU exit. The Queen's Speech in May announced Britain would pursue "the highest standards of animal welfare", and the government said it would make Britain a "global leader" in this area[2]. As the Bill currently stands, it limits the Committee in considering only vertebrate animals (and therefore it cannot report with regards to others, including octopuses and lobsters). These MPs want to amend it to cover these other animals. Whether or not the Sentience Committee's reports are properly considered in policy is another matter.

It's "digital electronic product...found in medical settings", I'd imagine

A big reason why the Roundheads wanted to make Cromwell king was to limit his power. His status as Lord Protector was not King, and therefore had none of the constraints on power that the kingdom had evolved over the centuries.

He wasn't widely popular outside the parliamentarians, who were the ones in power. The "godly", who made up the majority of the Roundheads were reviled by a substantial portion of the British. Cromwell held the Commonwealth together, that's for sure, but the cohesion amongst the Roundheads dried up once he died.

Which is exactly what is done with Britain. News item, queue "they get what they deserve". How about the EU gets what it deserves for being a undemocratic, big bungling bureaucracy?

Firefox rarely copies Chrome features (or Chrome's anti-features). In so far as web technology goes, it certainly does. Lots of half-baked, non-standard features get added to Chrome, sites start using them, and then Mozilla has to follow suit in order to maintain web compatibility.

I don't know the specifics, but I'm fairly sure that would make the software not open source/free software as recognised by the OSI/FSF.

You may not be ignoring things with regard to Covid, but you're certainly ignoring context to misquote someone you don't like.

Thinking you wouldn't be badly affected (and by Johnson's demographic, statistically it was likely he wouldn't have been), doesn't mean you think it doesn't affect others badly.

I'm in my twenties and fit, and going by the vast majority of cases that means I'll have very mild symptoms. That doesn't prevent me being considerate how badly it affects others.

You're also completely ignoring the context that at that point the country had been locked down: you couldn't leave your house except to get supplies and 1 hour of exercise. Does that sound like the decision of a man that denied the gravity of Covid?

Nonsense. Nothing in your comment is "denial". The guy got progressively iller. He "felt rough" at one point, and then felt worse. He was commenting on his own state and his perception of it, not making some great statement of it being nothing. He self-isolated throughout during his illness, before going to hospital.

This was all against the background of the government shutting down the country's economy in response to the virus. A torturous definition of "denial" if I've heard one.

I've not heard "denial", a la Trump, from Johnson.

That's the trade off every country is making: dangers of the virus Vs long term effects of response to the virus. It's a balancing act. What would you prefer, wanton destruction of everyone's livelihoods in overreaction? Not everyone is lucky enough to have a job that can be done from home, such as us on this site (typically). Every country is trying to avoid shuttering everything.

The quote from Johnson isn't talking about what you're inferring. It was a broad statement of what was going to happen (and it has, across the world): people will still die, in spite of the lockdown. It was a public address, not a policy statement.

It isn't purely the economics: I've had friends and relatives that have had significant effects to their health (including a death) because of being locked in their houses for months.

Why are you equating the response of the UK to Brazil or the USA? The UK locked down for months on end, and continues to lockdown areas depending on infection rates. To me, a Briton, the description of Johnson as "far right" is bizarre -- he's about as "far right" as Harold Macmillan.

Good for you that that policy wouldn't affect you. That's not the case for a lot of people with the infringement on their freedom of movement.

No, of course not. I wasn't implying DO were targetting Indians (and didn't read parent as doing that either). My point was that Indians are the ones that are mainly responding.

Look at the vast majority of the profiles/usernames of those making spammy PRs and you'll find it isn't an incorrect generalisation.

Per unit. The effects of a litre of vodka isn't the effects of a litre of cider.

I use Gnus in Emacs as my email client. I've got it set up to render plain text if available, but if the mail is only HTML, it will fallback to use Emacs' shr (Simple HTML Render) library. It's basic support, but works well enough most of the time to make the mail readable. Worse comes to the worse, I just open the HTML in a web browser. If I get to that stage, it's almost always spam or something else not worth reading.

MS-Windows has them too. You need to use cmd.exe to make them. I use symlinks to keep my configuration files synced in my Nextcloud directory.

I run my Nextcloud instance (for me and family) on a Raspberry Pi 3. The web interface is fairly slow because of the hardware (and likely my configuration :p), but it serves nicely as a Dropbox replacement.

userChrome.css support will be disabled by default in Firefox 69.[1][2] The user must toggle the "toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheet" preference to enable that.

Based on the name of that preference, as well as this developer page[3] saying "Support for the userChrome.css file and any of its elements described below are not guaranteed in future versions of Firefox", it seems likely userChrome.css will be dropped in the future.

I wonder if there's any effort to make this work on Windows? I tried Next on my Linux box and loved it. Best thing emacs-y browser since Conkeror stopped development. I would love to switch to it, but I'm forced to use Windows most of the time.

Indeed, but the Tory victory at the 2015 election was a surprise to everyone. Tory High Command likely thought another coalition with the Liberal Democrats would have allowed them to scribble out that line of their election manifesto with a coalition agreement.

There's been a recent influx of this sort of discussion in Britain. Most of it seems to be, at the core, the elites' (and those who would like to style themselves as elites) attempts to justify their disillusionment with democracy, which the referendum result caused. It's amazing how quickly people turn on the idea of giving the everyman a say in government, when it gives them the result they don't like. The referendum was a rare example in Britain of where the result wasn't able to be hand-waved away, like is typical with FPTP elections. The result was so significant because it saw the majority of the public reject all the major parties' platforms on the issue, and --I think-- undermined the pretenses of a lot of those in power, who like to frame themselves as being "of the people". Hence the disillusion.

A lot of the discussion reminds me of the arguments put forward by the hereditary peers in the late 90s, before most of them were chucked out of the House of Lords: that their experiences and positions in society made them uniquely able to make important decisions about the country. It's all rather ironic.
