Same. I just didn't have any use for signal after SMS removal. Yes I know SMS is insecure but I was stuck. Either you use a separate secure app and magically convince everyone else to use it whilst falling back onto a separate SMS app anyway (for those who don't use the encrypted app). Or alternatively you just have to use a mainstream app like Google Messenger with SMS plus RCS.

At least when signal supported it I could migrate family to signal and then our communication would be encrypted and they could still message everyone else over SMS. It meant a large portion of my messages were encrypted. After SMS removal everyone I had on signal just quit so there was no one to communicate with. Trying to get people to use multiple apps was like herding cats.

Don't know if it's just me but the UK seems to have an involuntary fear of heat pumps despite them being far more efficient if installed correctly. Especially since we demolished all our gas storage. Can't wait for it to become another part of the culture war they're trying to spin this election. Something something environmentalists stealing your boiler and leaving your grandma in the cold.

I also cannot understand why we don't promote modulating thermostats like the OpenTherm protocol more. Literally lowers your bill for the same amount of heat if you have a modern boiler.

Surely it's still somewhat better than leaving the lid up though? Obviously not perfect but still.

I'm pretty sure the haunted Victorian pencil that is Jacob Rees-Mogg said that the UK not having universal USB-C was a "Brexit benefit". God help us all.

This is very bittersweet living in the UK. But still obligatory fuck Apple.

On behalf of Britain - please don't

Maybe I'm wrong but I always took it as a metaphor for class. At one point Skinner literally calls linguine a rat. Also Skinner wanted to turn the restaurant into a frozen food empire...

I declare exterminatus

It's midnight and I just went to bed after playing god help me

Didn't know they were unsuccessful but still...wtf just bizarre behaviour

Honestly really surprised, I thought it was too integrated in Android to work with GrapheneOS. I think that might finally convince me to replace my dying pixel with a new one.
