@skinnylatte @alien so does all the food get eaten or is it just massively wasteful?

@DenOfEarth @janneke @bert_hubert some of us don't push back enough or at all though. In Germany soldiers have an obligation to refuse an illegal order, there's nothing like that for developers. We have to take some responsibility.

@kims @katchwreck elbows??

@katchwreck @kims I think there's some usage of the word elbows I'm not familiar with. You're not advocating soupy arms I'm guessing.

@TheBreadmonkey

Me mate found this next to a skip. The sensible woman doesn't do social media, but it comes from 1939. Where might she get it valued or anyone have ideas what she should do with it? Feel free to suggest hashtags too, I'm at a bit of a loss. Long Eaton, UK.

Edit: oh yeah boosts please

@kamrathobbit @dgar

Anyone know of a good supplier of computer parts in UK that isn't Amazon? Brother wants some serious hardware for his big birthday, and shipping from our usual German companies would probably be prohibitively expensive, what with Brexit stuff.

@crazyeddie @jeffowski I like the metaphor in Small Gods, where organised religions grow so big that the God (which lives on belief) eventually dies, but no one notices because they started to worship the structure rather than the God.

@0xabad1dea I've tried to zoom in and also to tap to translate/look up the meaning on a paper book word before.

@RamenCatholic gardening. Pot, compost, seeds of something you want to eat.

@leguinian_utopia @dillyd or are you?

@maxleibman @GreenSkyOverMe
Kind of the aim of puns isn't it? If it doesn't make you momentarily lose the will to live, is it actually a good pun?

@maxleibman @GreenSkyOverMe oh dear god, I'm so ashamed right now.

@sv1 @whvholst @HerraBRE @rysiek
My other half turned it on for pictures, honestly it's a bit crap. The classification is so so, there doesn't appear to be any way to further train it, and I actually don't see the usecase for having a list of all my pictures that contain chairs even if it could properly identify them.

@cwebber how do you combine the cabbage and gruel? Saute it separately and then immediately add it? Or it's the vegetables with which you top it?

@ekis sorry to spam you with answers about British politics, it's hard to condense it down.

On a different note, is ship wrecked and comatose a reference to the 80s TV show Red Dwarf? I'm sure it's a line out of the theme song.

@Benaresh @ekis
Yep, in UK I learned in school about Borneville/Cadbury workers towns/accommodation and hire working conditions improved around the end of the 19th century, but nothing about the labour movement art all. I had the impression it was from the benevolence of some benefactor who just decided to hand down some improvements.

@patsytheshark
Regarding not exactly bloat, but privacy, I used I think it was shutup10, which turns off a ton of stuff in windows. It shows you what it's doing so you can customise it, or just leave it to the defaults. Anyway there are a few other programmes like that.

For actual programmes you don't want, I would start by just finding the unistall menu and try to directly uninstall what you don't like. If it's not possible then Google "uninstall" + programme name and see what you find.

@glynmoody surely this should be a parliament petition.. And I was under the impression that campaign finance is already capped, leave certainly got into trouble already for breaking the rules.
