I would love for there to be as much energy that people put behind decrying homophobia by pointing out Alan Turing's contributions to computing, into decrying the UK's current transphobia by pointing out Sophie Wilson and her contributions to current, modern portable computing.

re: politics, famous arsehole mention 

(For the record I also consider Starmer's government to be conservative right & they do sometimes invoke this lie e.g. over Linehan recently but they're so fucking inept they can't even stick the landing & they're still letting the further-right score on them over it)

And that should go even if you agree with the point they're making at the time! I'm against the Online Safety Act and Farage claims to be too but I'm not going to line up with the cunt against it because I know if he could do "OSA but only for the queers" then he would

re: politics 

Same goes for when they pretend to care about antisemitism to attack Palestine solidarity, or pretend to care about womens' or LGB rights to attack trans people, or so many other pretences. No one can stop them telling the lies but it should be treated as the fucking joke that it is when they do

Obviously pointing out the hypocrisy doesn't stop THEM from claiming it because they know full well what they're doing. But would it be too much to ask for liberals and even right-libertarians to stop helping them get away with it every fucking time

One big lie I wish we could kill off for good is the one that the conservative right is pro-freedom of speech and expression. Time and again they prove they mean "freedom for us, the boot for you" and yet credulous liberals still take them at their word and go all shocked pikachu when reality hits

Interesting that there were no apologies from all the people who said that the Elizabeth Line would be a white elephant and a total waste of money. Despite this, we've allowed their opinions to ruin HS2 and basically guarantee it's failure

Great response here from Quakers in Britain when they received an anti-trans letter about their trans-inclusive bathroom policy: quaker.org.uk/documents/re-sta

@NekoEd I was looking at the Ayaneo AM01 which has a 5825U

@NekoEd Yeah I think Linux would work for most of what I want to do at least for streaming/media but would lose out on some gaming capability... and if I bought a new mini pc it'd probably come with windows anyway so I would probably resign myself to sticking with it

@sugar yeah my TV is an android one so it's basically the same as having a Chromecast built in, but even for being one of the most capable smart TV ecosystems it's still so limited and locked down compared to a PC. And the twitch app sucks
