I’m all for eating the rich but this fucker looks rancid.

Denmark is switching to the EU standard plug too, like Germany and Sweden, I think it’s mandatory in new housing.

Totally. I always think of this when people say Muslims overreact about drawings of their prophet or people burning their holy book. There were protests in the streets and famous Catholics like Pesci and Madonna attacked O’Connor in the press. Madonna, it seemed, was even more frustrated because this thing completely removed the attention from her new album that came out around the same time.

Edit: Madonna playing the prude was a nice touch.

very much like they picked up schoolgirls from school for Russell brand to be brought back to his flat.

Is this what happened with Russell Brand? I just heard he was a sexual predator, not that it was schoolgirls. It’s insane that the BBC didn’t get any wiser after Saville. It should be easy: don’t hire known pervs and definitely don’t let them use your stuff to abuse children.

He said he wanted to give her a good smacking or something. And he hasn’t apologized yet as far as I know.

Around this time Nirvana drew a lot of attention for mocking Top of the Pops by miming hilariously badly to Smells like teen spirit on air. It was a more innocent time. Ripping up a pic of the pope was wild.

It’s the same with Jimmy Saville, everybody knew. I remember chatting on a forum in a thread about celebrities who are absolute assholes. I’m not from the UK, so I didn’t know him before somebody in that thread told us about this lady from his little town who was given a small book store by Saville, alledgedly because he had abused her when she was a girl, and threatened to go public. Granted, Sinnead O’Connor took it to another level. And Joe Pesci showed his true colors. What an asshole.

So 240 million potential new Linux devices…? I see this as an absolute win!

I use it a lot. Both to listen to music while on public transportation and to connect the phone to my stereo at home.

I’m in Europe, so the problems with coverage shouldn’t be an issue here, as far as I’ve seen.

As mentioned, I’m a bit miffed about the headphone jack, but I guess I can live with it if their Bluetooth chip is optimized for audio ( I found a post on Fairphone’s official forum from a guy who says he’s tested the Fairphone 5 several Bluetooth codecs, including aptX,and it works, so that’s enough for me.

I also don’t use emulators, so yeah, I guess there’s very little reason for me to avoid Fairphone.

I’m fairly(pun intended) certain my next phone will be a Fairphone. What would be the main reasons not to buy it? I don’t mind the size, I don’t need an amazing camera but I do wish it had a headphone jack. That said, I expect to flash Lineage on my OnePlus 6 and use it a bit longer, to avoid e-waste for a bit.

need to work on the stigma of wearing clothes more than once…

Is this a thing?

Why would you want to go three minutes without talking about Linux?

What is it about him, that makes him look like an asshole? It can’t just be his eyes being too close together, can it?

Yeah, it’s the same for me, I mean I didn’t even hate Elmo that much when that episode came out, but I remember thinking that it was probably a bit premature and wouldn’t age well… I couldn’t have imagined how right I was.

Star Trek Discovery mentioned him in the same sentence as the Wright brothers.

Not enough celebrities there.

Oh no, we figured it out, but killer robots are profitable while happiness survival is not.

What is “ML”?

Do you remember when people were donating money to one of the younger Kardashians, so she could become the youngest “self-made” billionaire? People are dumb.
