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.

The only good use of something like that is the do not eat bot on r/whatisthisplant, I think it was, which posted a warning every time someone used the word "eat" "eaten" "edible" etc.

@Bongolian
That last line though

@VE2UWY @Jorsh @joshuafoust saw a comment from them that said the first time they had a rocket blow up on the launchpad they would have been shut down, [edit: possibly only be held up with paperwork/enquiries - see below] whereas spacex just carries on.

...However, the judiciary – like the police – is proving to be an effective arm of the oil and gas industry, by silencing and imprisoning members of the public taking nonviolent action against climate collapse. Future generations will be disgusted by rulings such as this." - Cressie Gethin of just stop oil, arrested at 22 for conniving a gantry. 2/2

@aral @ravensrod quote I saved:

"It would be extremely convenient for everyone if the climate crisis could be removed from our lives by the ruling of a Judge. If we could imprison the wildfires, if we could arrest famines, or if we could legislate against the rising sea waters that will leave parts of Britain submerged, that would be a fantastic outcome – but the reality is that we can’t and rapid decarbonisation is the only way of preventing these horrifying outcomes... 1/2

@Wendelin
I was talking about this recently on another thread with @compost - check out the Humanure Handbook. This guy has been hot composing his whole life and says he regularly puts "animal fatalities" in the compost. He says if covered with the correct material there will be no smell and no critters. So, depends on the compost technique. Personally I need a bit more experience first.

All our recycling here (south Germany) goes in 1 bag except glass. There's quite a sophisticated sorting process at the recycling centre to separate it all out, you can find videos about the process.

@TheBreadmonkey @PacificNic
You can chart the decline inversely to the amount of times "great" is used in front of "British".

@BeAware @futurebird
Why not just keep them in a notes app and copy/paste? Yeah I know boring and low tech..

@vfrmedia @woozle @rose
Just to be clear, the film is not promoting nazis. He's an influencer because no-one takes him seriously, his followers think he's a subversive satirical genius, and even the neonazi group he visits are aggressive towards him because he's bringing ridicule on their cause.

@TheBreadmonkey
The r/menWritingWomen subreddit back in the day has lead me to believe that men only write about sex :D like even when they think they're writing about something else.
