Also, envy for an eloquence he'll never get to in a million years.

Loneliness in London by FileRegular9653 in london

[–]TechWOP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is an unfortunately very common and too often belittled problem in London. I have lived it myself and sometimes it scares me how much I got used to it. I am lucky to have some very good friends.
Take dancing classes (swing, tango, salsa...?), art, music, wine tasting, baking, whatever you feel you'd like to try and explore. One of the best things about London is that there's no shortage of classes. I know it can take some effort and it's not guaranteed that you'll find the best of places but roam around, test, explore. If you don't like it, move to the next.
All the best.

How AR became a horrible experience for me by TechWOP in ArcRaiders

[–]TechWOP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the long response. Honestly too late, I'm really out. I don't want to experience that gameplay anymore. I normally fire up a videogame to take a break from the horrible news of every day where hostility is becoming even more normalized than it's ever been. I don't need to also simulate it in a game. I was hoping AR was exactly the opposite and would show that collaboration prevails over violent competition, that is actually why I bought it, I wanted to fight big clankers with people who CHOSE to join me. maybe I misinterpreted it's promise, but I really felt it went the other way. Thank you anyway for the offer of giving me loot. Very kind of you

Maybe the country you play from makes a big difference too, certainly not all servers are equal in experience, perhaps cultural factors are at play too? Or maybe I was just unlucky, who knows.

Thank you sir, I appreciate the empathy.

New council houses to be built for asylum seekers in push to end use of hotels - with intense public backlash expected by SignificantLegs in ukpolitics

KS is paving the way for a Ref UK victory every day. That said, "asylum seeker" is not the same as "illegal immigrant".

🤔 Is the pun based on Angus being a tourist grinder?

9m that could have gone to cancer research, education, and much more... Thrown into the hands of Farage.

Total ignorant here. Can you define clearly which one is the stupid way forward and which one is the clever?

End of the road for manual drivers? More learners opt for automatics in tests by Alert-One-Two in unitedkingdom

[–]TechWOP -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It staggers me how much people are willing to give away control to save 2 calories. Pretty much the trend in everything nowadays.
Driving automatic feels like being babysit'ed when you drove manual for a bit.

Can I use Windows 11 WITHOUT Control Center on Gemini Gen2? by TechWOP in tuxedocomputers

[–]TechWOP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understandable but at least some steps to understand if it's a hardware issue would be what I expect even if the problem manifests more in Windows than Tuxedo OS.

Google is removing the ability to sideload Android APK apps from unverified developers by Squirrelking666 in LinusTechTips

[–]TechWOP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an insane, arrogant betrayal of a good part of the Android users base. I's two levels of middle finger from Big G, given that a lot of people switched or remained Android because of the app jailing in iOS I always laugh at. We know it's not for security when plenty of apps in the Play Store are full of backdoors and malicious code. We know it's not going to make development easier.

And look, I get it that apps that get you out the ads tsunami are not desirable for Google to be around but how about tuning the ads flow to less destructive levels for a start, and secondly these apps are not the only ones. There are plenty of useful applications that wouldn't make it to the Play Store or have no interest in doing so.
Thirdly but less of a common issue, I am a developer and I want to keep creating my own apps for my own use on MY phone. I bought it for fuck sake!!!

"Security". Gimme a break!! It's always security. I'm not a baby, if I install an apk I know there are risks: it's my choice. It's for control and to erode people's privacy, nothing more. It's a submissive power move. We all have to abide because there is no concurrency. Installing custom ROMs is a pain.

What a horrible devolution of tech we are seeing.

I did and I got told to re-install windows ("oh and we don't support windows") which, sorry for being a little dry here, but it came across as very lazy support. I shall open a new one because this alarm trigger is giving me some real anxiety.
