Malta. You just have to pay a (largish) fee, and they’ll have you.

Also punish the people responsible, like the developers, for their software and choice of used libraries.

What??

If the Tories completely collapse, then next time the FPTP nonsense might favour Reform. If they get in, they’ll do everything they can to undermine democracy, and ensure they never get voted out.

Look at Hungary, and Poland. It took an almighty effort to get the fascists out in Poland, and it will take a lot of work to undo all the damage they did.

We urgently need proportional representation.

The inews article does quote that paragraph, but it does not say whether the Russian media who praise Farage mentioned it. I’m going to guess not.

Aside: Farage is so full of shit it’s amazing he manages to sit down without it dribbling out of his mouth… “[Here’s why Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is the fault of Western ‘liberals’…] I have never sought to justify Putin’s invasion in any way and I’m not now.” Sadly, his open contempt for the intelligence of his supporters seems to be entirely justified.

I have no idea why I am being down-voted.

Just FYI. I downvoted you for the whiny edit.

Conservative members chose Liz Truss as leader too. It’s really not a good look.

The real problem for the Conservatives is just how far their membership has diverged from the mainstream of British society. Post Brexit entryism from UKIP supporters has left the Conservative Party in real trouble.

Your Mum’s journey seems quite positive, overall. Is she now in favour of re-joining? If not, then she still has a long way to go.

No you can’t. The code was changed years ago to only work if the text in the PRIMARY buffer “sort of looks like it might be a URL”.

That defeats the whole point of the feature. If someone has written “go to example.domain, it’s amazing”, without bothering to make “example.domain” a link anchor, or even prepending “https://”, then there’s no easy way to actually visit the site. Previously, I could just select the text I wanted, middle-click into a browser window, and hey presto. Doesn’t work any more.

Netscape, then Mozilla, then Firefox had this feature on middle-button-click for literally decades. Firefox devs killed it years ago, despite howls of protest.

You could literally highlight any text, anywhere, and a middle-click in the browser window would navigate there. It was awesome. Basically a web equivalent of X-windows’ middle-click paste feature.

The two finest innovations of postwar British planning were green belts and urban conservation areas.

Lol. There’s no hope for rational discourse, if this is the starting point of your opponent.

Green belts (and restrictive planning policy more generally) have been a disaster for the country. They are directly responsible for our crushing housing costs, poor housing quality, terrible urban design, and the stranglehold over our built environment that is held by a handful of gigantic, pointless building companies.

It treats desktop clients as first-class citizens. That’s a huge, huge advantage over Whatsapp, for me.

They missed my personal favourite:

SHIFT + INSERT … paste the content of the PRIMARY select buffer (currently selected text).
