Thanks for adding some context, I missed out on that!

As for Vox, they'll keep defending him because they always look for the worst possible opinion to have and then jump on that ... because unfortunately there's enough people out there with the same shitty views who will then want to vote for them even harder.

I'm crossing all my fingers for a not-PP government.

Agreed on all counts ... that said, his first "I'm not going to resign" speach got resounding applause, so I'm sure he had a lot of behind-the-scenes support to stay as long as he did.

Hopefully whoever gets his job will be both better and able to cut out more of the rot.

(I live in Spain, I've been royally pissed off at how the players have been treated)

I was trying to work out why a program needed more of the bartender from the Simpsons in it.
I don't know of any other Moes.

Well, I went and looked it up and apparently since the iPhone 4 onwards Apple actually started to get their shit together and started supporting their hardware for more than 3 years ... I do find it funny though that an unsupported iPhone can't connect to the app store at all while even the evil Google's old apps can still get live data without problems.

Yes, it's a 3G. In black if minutiae matter to you.

It doesn't have maps, and most websites are unsupported even though it's far newer than the old Android phone.

I can't use the iPhone 3 I have in a drawer, even though there's nothing wrong with it. Meanwhile my HTC that runs Android 1.2 still works with Google maps just fine.

I was also pissed off when all the OSX software dropped support for single-core Intel processors which rendered some very expensive 2 year old machines at work useless for anything Mac-specific.

For context, my Dad is still using a PC I built out of parts recovered from a skip in 2008, and it works just fine.

Do they last longer? I have an IPhone 3 somewhere that just decided to stop working, yet my HTC with Android 1.2 still works fine.

Most of what's held me back from Apple products has been their planned obsolescence, where the OS was no longer supported, which I've never had with a PC. I've had my cheap second hand laptop for 7 years now and that still works fine with the latest software

Similarly to this, I mostly don't read or engage with news feeds on social media and keep up to date by reading a local news site that's curated by hand and the international version of the guardian website for the big stuff ... although the Guardian is generally doom and gloom there are upbeat stories listed too and it's not a never-ending list of depression like Facebook/reddit/some communities on Lemmy.

I dunno, I live in a little Catalan village that has suffered a bit from "España Vaciada", life here is good and both me and my other half have integrated pretty well ... but the house next to us has been bought by a German who rents it out on Airbnb and TBH it's rather shit.

I'm fully on board with "tourists go home". If we get more holiday let's in the village we're thinking of moving more inland.

Its prime prog-rock, by all means check out their other stuff, along with things like Hawkwind. Some of it looses the path but a lot doesn't :-)

Thanks, it looks like a pretty diverse range!
