Wine works well for me on Manjaro. Once it’s installed and run for the first time, it’s been seamless. I think every now and then you might find a game that requires an additional patch to run.

He seems to have decided to learn absolutely nothing.

Free energy.

Never again will I tie my shoes without suspecting I’m doing it wrong, somehow.

This bad boy.

Things really went downhill when violins stopped wearing little shoes.

The market looked very familiar, I did think it might be the same place Worf carried out his Wednesday beheading!

Edited to add: I think I’m going to enjoy rewatching the scenes from the Ukeck market. I only caught a Ferengi or two at first glance, but there has to be other familiar aliens, right?

There’s a Lurian (Morn’s species)!

I think when they just said ‘Yes, LLMs can steal your work’. That showed they don’t even care about property rights, which is the one thing the right have always pretended was their raison d’être.

I guess well done for not doing that?

Agreed, I’ve also seen and heard a lot of this attitude, going back decades now.

In addition, I think that Islamophobia is very widespread in the UK, including among ethnic minority groups. Both white and non-white Islamophobes see anti-immigrant polices as partly or primarily a way to persecute Muslims and prevent more of them coming to the UK.

I hope this latest downgrade puts to bed the false idea that war is profitable.

I think this is basically the plan! But it does, in the meantime, involve pleasing nearly no one, as Behr says.

Perhaps the best way for the UK to stop being a vassal of the US is for the UK to join forces with its European allies. Europe together can surely create the capabilities needed to defend the continent.

This is the only sensible option but it would be a project taking years if not decades to disentangle from our US military and intelligence alliances, and we’d be exposed the entire time.

The way I’m reading it is that we’re defending UK assets and allies in the area.

This is exactly correct. However, it’s also true that if any of our planes happen to gather any useful intelligence, that will almost certainly get passed on to the US and Israel because we have intelligence sharing arrangements with them. So, from that point of view, the UK will de facto be assisting them.

Her statement was absolutely unhinged. Genuinely thought it was fake when I first saw it!

I honestly assumed this was fake and had to check multiple sources before I accepted that it’s real. A shocking new low.

Agreed, the social policies could be a lot better.

Why would the Greens want this? They just got their best ever by-election result, they’re hardly going to turn to a guy who lost two general elections for a bit of extra help.

Yeah, they must’ve raised taxes on the rich and redistributed it to the poor by accident.
