Good point. But rationing continued in the UK until 1954 so it did affect them.

Boomers made that bland war time food linger. They were children during and just after WW2 so it was part of their childhood nostalgia and they fed it to their own kids. Also we’ve had Indian/ Chinese restaurants in the UK for a while but they were mostly just in major cities at first so the average person still had little exposure to foreign or exotic food until the late 1970s/ early 1980s.

Came here when the Reddit 3rd party app threat started looming, loved it and never went back.

Sure, Lemmy doesn’t have the same variety and amount of content that’s on Reddit but that’s because it’s a smaller and newer platform along with the fact that not all instances federate with each other (which is great).

I still get my scrolling urge fulfilled and presented with random memes and news that I’m interested in without the data harvesting factor which is perfect for me.

Was LFS a bit too much?

Bit crunchier than I remember them being as a kid. Then again, what isn’t these days.

Hitler 2: Facist Bugaloo?

I had the Pinebook Pro. It was pretty good, solidly built, had a 1080p screen and could handle Openshot video editor, web browsing and video playback. All I needed.

I didn’t have it hooked up to an external display but according to the website it can handle 4K playback. Mainly used it for listening to music in Cmus whilst browsing in Firefox.

Battery life was pretty good, about 10 hours IIRC but mine just stopped booting after I left the battery dead for a few months.

Might buy another one though https://pine64.com/product-category/pinebook-pro/

YUMMY!

Isn’t this the plot of Encino Man?

I’m British and not a big fan of the BBC but OP has mentioned that isn’t an exact quote so I don’t think it’s fair to judge them on it.

Also the alternative they suggested gives the impression that the Republicans don’t care about human rights and the BBC goes to great lengths to be impartial.

I sir am a Linux engineer and resent your insinuation that I’m a programmer.

Oh God, please tell me that Lemmy users are not officially called Lemmings

Yea, but now both apps she uses are open source

I installed Fedora on my aunt’s laptop she runs an eBay business with. She only ever used Excel for a spreadsheet she tracks her accounts with and Chrome for her listings. Replaced them with Libre office calc and Chromium, didn’t really need to explain anything to her
