Use it, and ditch it again when you’re done. I can tell you that the UK is, in general, a pretty safe place to be queer, especially in comparison to what’s going on over there. Like any country there are places which are more and less progressive in their opinions, but for the most part you can live your life without being in danger.

I mean, it’s already half way there, all they got to do is make it funny

No, he genuinely has a face like an ai-generated thumb. He’s the kind of prank bellend that’s going to get shot eventually, and absolutely no one will care, he’s a gimp

Ah, now you say that, I remember something about protesters having a go at it. It was Royal Dutch Shell and headquartered in The Hague up until 2022 apparently, before becoming Shell Plc and moving here to sample the delights of brexit

My first thought was “how?!” But then I remembered that this is actually Royal Dutch Shell, and the case was in a Dutch court. Probably just a coincidence, I’m sure…,

That’s the trade off for a larynx capable of speech

I’d think that the smart ones will desert as soon as they can

That’s what she said!

That’s the most useful thing anyone’s said so far, thanks. My current mini is hard enough to get at, as it’s under the back of the desk, so I’ve used this, as even though the power button is in a vaguely accessible place, there computer isn’t. Why would I want it taking up room on the top that could be used for synths I can’t play, and coffee I haven’t drunk?!

Ah, if I used a Mac keyboard then I’d probably have known that. I generally don’t really like Mac peripherals, I’ve got a full size mechanical keyboard and a thumb wheel mouse. I get that it’s not an insurmountable problem, but there’s only one face out of the six that you can absolutely guarantee isn’t going to be immediately accessible, so why put the only button on the whole machine on that face, as opposed to next to all the I/Os?

It looks like the foot/base bit isn’t tall enough to get a finger to the button without lifting the thing up. That seems daft to me. You’re having to move the whole unit about to push a button

I’m not an apple hater, I have a Mac mini. However, our power goes out fairly regularly in the winter, and it’ll get old having to get the thing out of the back of my desk at start it again pretty bloody quickly, it’s an obviously daft place to put it.

As does having a livable planet for the rest of us, and being able to exist as anything other than a rich white straight-in-public guy in the US. How so much has ended up in the hands of an orange nazi dementia patient in a first world country is pretty astounding

Nah, mine was the 1800. Can’t really blame the router either, or solar has a weird issue for a while where power flicked on and off repeatedly, and something about that cleaned its clock

Tldr: X is not important.

Hopefully “actionable” means that a sister satellite can vaporise the owning company’s ceo and director from orbit, that would be nice.

I’ve had Mullvad running on a Gli Flint router, and it was perfect until some weird power-cycling issues bricked the router… pita.

Because it’s better than adding it per-device?

How very dare you suggest such a thing. This kind of thinking must come from your warped mind, and very definitely not be based on the slew of mines and chemical plants left to poison the landscape, and especially not the multitude of poorly-capped methane-leaking oil wells scattered around the US by those same companies!

In a word, yes
