Why am I not seeing a picture? On my end this is just a text post where a guy said oooh yeah and nothing else 😅

Interesting, I'd never trust any USB cable to push anywhere near 100 watts anyway haha good god, the most I ever do is maybe 20w at 5v.

I'll keep that in mind when buying cables in the future though this is very useful info!

I've not heard anyone take umbridge with calling Russians "orcs" or "ruskies" yet, to be fair, not with calling our German and Japanese enemies during WWII Jerry or Japs respectively. Jap is just a handy shortened single syllable way of saying Japanese. For another example of this in peace time, people from Great Britain get called Brits. It's not a race thing, just a slang thing.

The war slangs aren't terms we'd use today of course, as they're no longer our enemies and such slang carries the unspoken "We call them this because they're our enemy and they don't get to decide what we call them" connotation, but for the moment in 2024, Russia and North Korea are the enemy of Ukraine, so they're fair game.

I see your point though, but I don't believe this is a race thing at all, not in my eyes anyway, I think it's just a "They're the enemy and we need a simple, easy and quick to pronounce slang nickname for them that is functionality useful, watch also sometimes shows our current hatred of them as our mortal enemy and as a way to help unite us against a foe, in the case of 'orcs' for example".

But yeah, if people are using these terms to be racist or whatever, screw those guys, they suck.

A little leak, as a Holliday treat!

I don't feel comfortable sharing any personal opinions at work. The workplace is somewhere one should arrive, work, go home, not somewhere to share opinions and in doing so make potential enemies or risk your position.

Why do I care if my colleagues know my opinion on X or Y? It changes nothing about my life or theirs, we're not even friends, just colleagues, or work friends at best.

Anyway yeah, that's just my thoughts :-)

He's a modern day Nazi leader, what do you expect him to say?

I know I'm an awful pedant who doesn't wurd gud either half the time, but you meant to say populace not populous in the title. Hope you don't mind me pointing it out :-)

Yes mate! I checked mate, you're right mate!

This is an April Fools, right?

No way a fancy top end smartphone in 2024 doesn't have this extremely basic feature from over a decade ago that everything has....

"Do you still need to be allowed to decorate and modify your own home?"

Yes.

But wait, wouldn't a 5 second pause on loading still be way better than sitting through minutes of adverts? :-D

Punishment my arse

We've all agreed that when he dies it would be disrespectful to keep using Linux so we'll pack it up and switch to Windows from them on.
