Yay. I just tried it and it works.

Depends. It was dogshit when it launched, but now I get over 100mbps down. I did have to relocate the wireless modem box they gave me, though. And of course, YMMV, as did mine at launch.

I think The Amazing Digital Circus, despite having achieved ‘broken the internet’ status, is still quite niche for the moment. Might have fallen on deaf ears.

Don’t put the headset on.

Not what you asked for, but if you’re interested at all in digital audio books, I cannot recommend highly enough Chirp Books. They use a flash sale kind of model, and sometimes the author you’re interested in has their books at 90% off for like 30 days, and it cycles on rotation. You do need their proprietary player app to listen, but you can download the audiobooks to your device for offline listening.

For actual ebooks, you could look into your local library, and what schemes are available for ‘digital lending’. Some platforms exist that let you loan movies, games, stream music and download ebooks using your local library card.

Fuck the Daily Mail.

Yeah no. Plaid is one thing but giving access to your bank login to pay an invoice is something quite another. If it’s legit they can accept a card payment, or send you to a PayPal invoice.

🎶 Ooh baby don’t you know I suffer Oh baby when you phished my bank You sent me to a dodgy website Using a convincing link

Ooooooh-ooooh You drained my bank account Ooooooh-ooooh You drained my bank account🎶

Gotta have lashings of Bisto gravy, yorkies and good ol’ British Maris Piper potatoes too. Occasionally carrot turnip mash if you’re feeling posh. Cauliflower and broccoli if that’s your thing. Served by Lynda Bellingham.

Americans know it as Apple Crisp, because the US has to perpetuate the myth than American English is anything but a bastardisation of an existing language and therefore have different words for the same thing.

And yes. Hot Ambrosia® custard, not ice cream, and not Birds®. Just as I was served at school dinners (which somehow bow are called lunch).

Or Colmans English Mustard. English Wasabi, I call it.

Do the improved Chromium browsers all count as bad browsers now? I use Vivaldi. I’m not certain but I think DuckDuckGo’s browser might be based on Chromium, too.

Vivaldi still displays a face. It’s probably a Chromium thing.

If it doesn’t have to be FOSS, I got the paid-once version of Today Weather, you can choose multiple data sources and it works with lots of countries, includes radar, windy.com, pollen count, Sun and moon rise and set, air quality, and is very pretty.

I read that as monkey laundering

Same happened to me two years ago. I signed up for a 30-day trial with one of those e-fax companies and after the doc was sent I cancelled. To be fair, my work had an account with that service so I already knew about it - but I knew I didn’t want to pay a buck a page just to pay my taxes… Hopefully you don’t need this advice in future but maybe it can come in handy just in case!

You’re looking for the Python interpreter as Python does not compile (unless you want to get pedantic about .pyc files). Here’s probably your best resource - https://opensource.com/article/20/8/python-android-mobile

Mvp comment there. I checked mine and I am in the US, on a phone I originally bought on credit. I do not have that app installed. Go figure. 🤷‍♂️

Definitely worth checking out your app list to make sure. I wonder if it accidentally came downstream from AOSP into the alt ROMs, and that’s why it’s not in my stock, proprietary, US market, flagship Google pixel device.

Sounds like doublespeak to me. “we will grant your request except for where we won’t, because of reasons affecting x y and z, but not condition a”

It’s because of the crappy colour grading they do to merge shot footage with cgi effects. Jurassic Park holds up because it’s from an era of cinema where they didn’t do that grungy Blue-grey shit.

I was so confused by this as a kid.
