They're fanless and low-power, which was the primary draw to going this route. I run a Kubernetes cluster on them, including a few personal websites (Nginx+Python+Django), PostgreSQL, Sonarr, Calibre, SSH (occasionally) and every once in a while, an OpenArena server :-)

It'll take at least that long for the EU member states to forgive the UK for its fuckery. The memory of Brexit will have to fade enough in their minds before it's even considered.

  • It's doubtful that the same deal will be on the table, as it would be politically untenable domestically.
  • Getting France and Germany on board will be hard, given that they enjoy much more power in our absence.
  • The risk of our exit again when our xenophobia acts up would have to be objectively low, or no member state would take the chance on approval lest we fuck over their economy again when we throw an egocentric racist tantrum.

While I generally agree, the OP is asking about an M1, so they're probably considering a used laptop. No profits to Apple, and better for the environment.

It's a good move, but we can't start thinking that this will solve the fare cost problem entirely. The UK has a network problem: everyone and everything goes to London at the same time. That means for every full train going into London, there's an empty one leaving the city not long after.

That empty train needs the same resources as the full one, so essentially every fare you pay must cover the cost of two trips. The process of spreading destinations around the country is a lot of work and very expensive: new lines, tax incentives, etc.

I quite like Thunderbird for this.

This is really disappointing. I had hoped for a lot more representation for the AGPL and GPL.

Hear that kids? They made a vow. That's like a double plus pinky swear. It's definitely ok.

cough npm,yarn,grunt,esbuild,webpack,parcel,rollup,lasso,rollup,etc.,etc.cough

I'm not saying that Python's packaging ecosystem isn't complicated, but to paint JavaScript as anything other than nightmare fuel just isn't right.

Honestly I don't care about this. I'd rather we just stop subsidising them and then slap them with a proper carbon tax. If they still manage to make a profit under those conditions, then we can talk.

I spent a year of my life writing an extension to it that allowed you to control various streaming services and Kodi with it. When I released it, a bunch of guys in their developer community bitched me out at length because I licenced it under the AGPL and they wanted MIT.

It pretty much killed any interest I had in the product.
