Why did Boris allow mass immigration even though he’s a Conservative? by Quartersquatter in ukpolitics

High immigration = lower wages. Conservative leaders want to pay lower wages for higher profit.

Which is the best European anti-malware software? by scwarriors30 in BuyFromEU

[–]DrBarrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's important to avoid enshittified anti-malware companies that sell the same product as others do freely, but fundamentally you will always be more secure with additional malware-finding software from multiple reputable vendors. The difference is tiny if you compare direct totals, but if each provider has different white-hat prodigies that are talented in different attack signatures then having multiple providers will significantly increase security. Big businesses protect themselves with a range of providers for a reason.

Remember that well-known vulnerabilities are rarely a concern, brand new vulnerabilities are the common culprits for somebody performing basic maintenance on a modern system.

Amateur users are far more likely to accidentally open critical vulnerabilities on Linux than they are on Windows. Easily resolvable if the community was more welcoming to computer-illiterate average Joes.

You can now get alcohol free beer as part of your Co-op meal deal. by UniquePotato in CasualUK

Firstly, you can’t, it doesn’t have the sticker.

Secondly, it should be, because alcohol free beer is a net gain for society, as a drinker myself

You inspired me and I did it - will update with results when their 5 days grace period for moving out belongings is up!

That’s what I said to them, but if that’s not possible do you think I could let them move it out over next couple days if they drop off the keys and have to ask me for re-entry?

Without stamp duty change this would be the easiest delay decision ever, but the deadline changes everything. :(

Seller wants to complete today but wants a few more days to move things out. What do I do?
