I completely agree. Of course with Brexit bare in mind that the majority of the populace did not vote for it. Many of us are very pro-EU and believe in European social democracy.

Move on and stop blaming us for your country’s problems (and we all know which country that is). Nobody who did any of the colonising is still alive

I’m a Frontend Dev - I don’t miss the ‘glory days’ of IE6 and Safari for Windows one bit. Accessibility, performance, adaptive designs, state management and rich UIs are far more i…

It works for me - over sharpening produces worms but the denoise alone makes it worth it over Capture One for me.

My kids are 12 and 13 - wfh was is getting very old for me, especially during the school holidays when I’m constantly in ‘dad mode’. Don’t get me wrong - I love them with all my so…

At least where I live (France but not Paris) all the decently paid jobs in my field all seem to be fully remote. I’d love to go back to partial RTTO but it’s simply not financially…

My Dad’s got early stage dementia and Facebook is an absolute nightmare. The apps infested with AI slop and the algorithm seems to fill his feed with stuff designed to get him work…

Yes, but just as a ruler. It belonged to my Dad who was an avionics engineer starting back in the 1950s. He worked all over the world seeing out the end of the British Empire. It s…

Using my IPad as a second monitor still feels like sorcery. I can have a dual monitor setup wherever I work without cables or fuss.

Money laundering.

My monitor (a Samsung ultrawide thing) has an option to reduce contrast (I think it’s called ‘eye saver mode’) that makes a massive difference. I don’t use for gaming but for work …

Yes, this was back in 2016 - I got back in my feet after about six months.

> McDonalds pays nearly $20 an hour these days, if it keeps the lights on, don't be above it. I was between jobs several years ago and my startup failed - I ended up washing up at …

This (and r/stopdrinking and r/peloton for race feeds) are my only reasons to visit nowadays.

Which country are you relocating to ? Certain ones such as France don’t allow ‘digital nomads’ - there are workarounds but it inevitably involves paying taxes and social charges. W…

The new Akai does.

I’m English so naturally it involved the pub, spilt drinks, some terrible dancing and lots and lots of beer.

You obviously dont have the French bureaucracy that I have to put up with !

I can rent cars and vans from the supermarket 200m from me - the problem is the faff of waiting for a member of staff, the pre inspection, the post inspection, the cleaning, refuel…

Garageband - my kids love it.

Homes? Nah they’re ‘investments’. I live in Brittany, France and new buyers, low earners etc are completely priced out of the market. My partner is a nurse and at her hospital they…

…because the Tories are the ones being manipulated. A PM earns less than 200k£, a Minister even less and an MP even less - they’re incredibly cheap to ‘buy’.

A folder on my desktop named “stuff”. On a more serious note I use MS OneDrive family account and iCloud - I figure if either of those companies goes under there are bigger things …

None of what you mention is important to me (an iPhone / Apple ecosystem user) and no, I am not ignorant to Apples forced limitations . If I actually wanted the same as you I'd buy…
