You don't honestly think the BBC would actually reference a paper or study directly, like a reputable news company would, do you?
I'm using #linux mint and can run #photoshop no problem, with #wine 4 which is quite old now. I don't know why anyone would use windows. Am I missing something (like a vital patch from #Microsoft that bricks my machine) coz this runs sweet as a nut!
BTW Winamp 5.56 is still the best music player ever.

Family of 5 Living Off-Grid | BOAT ACCESS ONLY
🌐 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxEmvjx3Uhk
Mark and Chera rescued and renovated an old cabin and transformed it into an epic off-grid home for their family of 5. The catch? There's no road to get there, so they had to figure out how to do absolutely everything by boat and barge: transporting building materials, equipment, belongings, workers, as well as commuting to and from town for school and work.
They were limited in how much they could modify the existing cabin, so to make space for the kids' bedrooms, they attached a yurt to the house with a mudroom. For heat, they have a wood stove in the house, a pellet stove in the yurt (to keep a constant temperature for the kids), and backup wall-mount propane heaters for really cold days, or times when they're away from the house during winter (to prevent pipes from freezing). Since propane has to be delivered on a barge, it's really expensive so they try to limit their propane use as much as possible.
For electricity, they have 3 systems. First, a solar power system with 18 panels and a large battery bank which works great in the summer even though they're surrounded by mountains. But during the colder, rainier months, the system doesn't keep everything running so they installed a hydro turbine which creates electricity using water pressure from a creek up the hill, and this provides 24 hour electricity for most of the year. As a backup to these two systems, they have a propane generator but they try not to use it unless they need to.
The kids still attend school in town, and Mark and Chera have flexible jobs so they can work in town or from home as needed. They have 2 enclosed boats with GPS and heat for the 20 minute commute back and forth to town.

@TheDruidKing Dr Jones by Aqua, or anything by Professor Green should be on this list. Maybe some Kings of Leon...

I had a weird issue on an older desktop that sounds similar to your problem. It turned out to be the bios battery. It was a bit of a headache to track down, hope this helps.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, Chewbacca could still tell the difference between a plant based vegan porg meat replacement kebab, and the real deal.
@Vandy We're all so lucky we have kathleen kennedy to keep us in the fold of wokeness, since Star Wars was written in the age of the privileged white dullard.
Even tho in 1977 we were all told that an ill tempered hairy bear who gargles to communicate as a co-pilot of a spaceship, is a joint speed record holder for faster than light travel. A galaxy wide and unbeaten record held by member of a minority of a minority of a minority group.
Ah well I guess that's just not progressive enough...

Invented double barrel surnames are a fantastic way to stand out as a pretentious wanker-bitch.

@lunduke your os questionnaire got me thinking. Amigas were so good in the 90s that a whole scifi TV series could be made on them for next to nothing (insert Babylon 5 logo here) Nowadays with open source and zero cost software, are there any current TV shows made on the likes of blender and what not.

So the flooding there has been in Sheffield and the surrounding towns could have been prevented if the rivers had been properly dredged. Why? Because under EU law and a multitude of other EU directives those rivers in and around that part of Yorkshire were not allowed to be dredged. EU law supersedes UK law - again.
@Atheist_UK nice try on blaming the Eeww. It was actually me and my boyfriend, plus the rest of my 'type' who caused it. Just wait, I'm sure some hypocritical cardinal will explain all on BBC news soon enough.
@lunduke I just watched your "what happens after the internet" video and think Gene Roddenberry has already answered that. He was right in envisioning flippy communicators, and face to face video calls across subspace. I think low earth orbit satellites with 4 or 5G connecting mastodon instances and LBRY hubs could be the interim step to a global LCARS network. Then us Trekkie's can gloat yet again. Live long, and hope the BorgNet doesn't happen.

Thought this might be of some use to you.

@lunduke but can it run Crysis?
@lunduke after much serious thought, wobbly windows using compiz, using the fire effect when closing apps is what every new phone needs.
Ha! Take that blandroid
OMG if you install telegram on it and the app folds away like a paper plane, even iPhone 11 users will be jealous.
