Just for reference, in the case of Eno, this is the worst idea anyway - "Here Come The Warm Jets" is kinda... not that good.

Still a fun listen though.

This is the objective scientific answer, OP.

The Fripp collaborations also merit your attention.

Yeah, that got a double-take out of me too. Hell, "Lord Pickles" alone is quite the concept to be reminded of in itself.

Forget the forensics guys, if he keeps this up they'll be prepping the rubber hose and dentistry tools guys.

Maybe ISPs is an okay comparison? Most of us are on different ISPs but we access the same internet.

It's probably more productive to just ignore the technical details. Half the country seems to believe they're buying "wi-fi" nowadays.

Just stick with "try Mastodon" or "try Lemmy" and let the non-technical folk build whatever mental model suits them best.

Just for the record: the Sun ended Page 3 in 2015.

No "it was a different time" excuses wash yet.

Okay, that's fair, they do have another scandal to weather (contrived though it appears). Sorry, I thought I read a slight undertone of "filthy BBC got anuvver nonce innit" :)

I've still got no idea who people think it is.

Nor do I care to, because it ain't remotely sodding important.

Seems like the BBC may have another one on their hands.

Another... what, exactly? Rude, unpleasant person who happens to be either gay or bi? (I think I get this message from the reporting, but I'm not certain that I've specifically seen the gender of the original "young person" mentioned now that I think about it)

This is such an obviously confected story to fling shit at the BBC. It disappoints me that so many otherwise articulate and sensible people seem to be swallowing it hook line and sinker.

No.

There's no need for monoculture - especially on a platform that aims to be decentralised.

Look at it this way - if some town has three gay bars, three metal pubs and three old-man real-ale pubs, it's not an issue for the LGBT community, the metal community or the drunk old men; they're just different places to drink. Possibly the drunk gay old metal fans might get confused, but they sound awesome and are likely welcome everywhere.

...actually, thinking about it, I bet the drunk old men probably do have an issue with all eight of the other pubs they don't go to. But that's just them.

 

I say I'm looking for recommendations, but I'm not even sure if such a thing exists yet... possibly my Google-fu is failing me.

What I'm on the hunt for is a Thread/Matter 4-or-more-gang UK power strip where I can control each socket individually. Zigbee would also be workable, but I'd prefer Thread (not for any technical reason - I just currently don't have any Zigbee kit).

I'm aware of the Eve single socket wall-warts, but they're not exactly cost-effective or compact!

Any recommendations gratefully received :)
