I am not pretending anything. I've showed some actual evidence to back to back up my view point. Moreover, time after time the British public are surveyed about their views on immigration and ethnic background is not something that is

I know. I felt like it needed to be pointed out that even on parties that are seen to be more centre-left/left that there is good portion of voters that are opposition to immigration. This is because I don't think it is as much of

Well there is no evidence to back that up. In fact there is plenty that indicates the opposite. https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/uk... There is in the section entitled "Preferences fo

I don’t use Ubuntu personally, but there should be a newer LTS out. If you are using a nvidia card it might be worth checking if you are using Wayland or X11, Nvidia and X11 typically work better.

Generally most of the Linux's have rough edges on the desktop experience. I am using Debian 13 (Current Testing) and while it is pretty decent these days there are lots of annoyances. I still dual boot for gaming and at work I use Wind

OpenBSD and Linux work well on it. OpenBSD as much as I like it has too many usability issues on Desktop IME, you might find it absolutely fine. If you are using Linux make sure you are using Wayland. For decent Youtube performance turn off

It not that easy with their glued in batteries on some Macbook Pros. You have to essentially use alcohol to remove the glue to replace the battery. Absolute PITA. They could have used 4 screws and it would be easy to replace. Apple has a hi

I did look at getting a 1080p screen for it. I am pretty sure I could fit one but the price was prohibitive.

I've found the vast majority of my issues with JavaScript is the modern tooling itself. I really like the new language improvements over the ES5 e.g. not having to worry about scope/hoisting issues, async/await, fetch is much

I use a 6800XT with Debian 12. As long as you have the `non-free-firmware` repo enabled in Debian 12 (it is by default), AMD cards should just work. I've played quite a few games on Linux. Performance is still better on Windows though.
