Will anything dethrone the Steam Deck? Probably not -GamingonLinux
  • They've also got the Xbox interface for controllers, the reason they don't make Windows better for this scenario is that they already have XBox and making a SwitchBox interferes with their plan to make everything shit.

  • Will anything dethrone the Steam Deck? Probably not -GamingonLinux
  • Absolutely. But they want everyone to know they are using Windows, which if there was a custom shell then they wouldn't.

    They have >95% of the market, they don't care about making a good interface for TVs as they already lost it to Android, and they don't care about making a good gaming interface as they already have XBox.

    Windows users are an inconvenience, that they want to milk.

  • UK Election charts are a nightmare
  • Alternative voting system? Nah let's let the Tories scare the general public off the idea for the foreseeable future

    You are seriously going to blame them for what the Tories did?

    which would likely never have happened if the lib dems didn't form the coalition

    They did suggest a Labour coalition first until Labour said "no fucking way would we ever share power with anyone", and they fell for the Tory lies.

    Not that I'm voting LibDem, but victim blaming seems to be about right based upon the rest of your comment.

  • UK Election charts are a nightmare
  • Around here Labour similarly have been posting dodgy graphs.

    It's been 63% Tory, with LibDems generally 18%, Labour 15% and the final ~5% split out between the others.

    Labours acted like they've been the only convincing challenge. They all do it, because it's all wishful thinking.

    We have a Methodist minister standing for Labour here, so they haven't got my vote anyway.

  • Britain will not rejoin EU in my lifetime, says Starmer
  • Because you'll also need to convince the other members of the EU that we aren't going to come in, shit in the corner and then fuck off again?

    Yes it's a long time, but we have burnt so many fucking bridges.

  • End to zero-emission discount in London’s congestion zones
  • Are you thinking of the LEZ and ULEZ? The purpose of the congestion zone is to discourage vehicles completely. It's congested in the City, take your car and go away.

    The CC is just the area around Westminster, you will have a discount for an electric inside the M25 through the LEZ charge.

  • Why Britain is the world’s worst on homelessness
  • Yes, I'm not sure how the preferred way to present content on here is yet so I gave the original URL as the link and then commented the archive link. I sometimes see people complaining that they don't see the body, so it sounds like we have to work around some crappy clients too.

    If there is a preferred way of presenting this then I will update the submission.

  • Why Britain is the world’s worst on homelessness
  • We need to build more because this is about a Shelter piece on people having to live as families in a single hotel room rotating locations.

    We aren't even at the point of private landlords being the problem and preventing people from buying, as there simply aren't enough houses for people

  • Why Britain is the world’s worst on homelessness
  • Then you should read the article.

    This is the official statistics for people living in temporary accommodation whilst waiting for a house. These are families living in single room accommodation like a hotel room.

  • Why Britain is the world’s worst on homelessness

    Pretty depressing reading.

    [Edit] I had the archive link as a comment but this has gained enough traction that it's not obvious. Here it is again so you don't have to give FT any clicks https://archive.is/ypkln

    Is there any better example of a food that doesn't deserve to exist?

    There are lots of things that can be put down to personal taste, however I can't let this abomination go.

    I am referring to Branston Smooth.

    I love Branston Pickle, but I can't get on board with Branston paste. Is there a better example where a manufacturer made an updated version of a food that was objectively worse?

    Plex for books?

    I've picked up an eink Android tablet, which is awesome. However I have plenty of ebooks I've purchased over the years on places such as Humble, and I was wondering whether there was a self hosted solution like Plex/Emby/Jellyfin but designed for ebooks.

    I've seen Calibre but it doesn't seem to be quite the same thing, and running a sync is a bit clunky for the spouse factor.

    Is there anything that would index the books, show a bookshelf and allow me to read them, with offline support?

    Preferably with an Android app for reading with, and the reader handling eink rather than scrolling.

    Does anyone else find the water companies to be unreasonable with their ghosting for 6 months, then nagging daily if you haven't paid them within a week?

    Probably just me being a little grumpy after getting a phone call from Southern Water, but it feels a little unreasonable that I only get billed every 6 months (I can't make it more frequent), and they expect a random amount to be settled within the week.

    I got a bill last week and I'm already recieving phone calls because I'm "late", even though it's only the first, since now it's payday I'll pay it but I'm not happy with the harassment.

    How to catch up on games shown on the World Rugby website?

    A few games have been shown on the World Rugby website, but not via YouTube directly on their website, it's unclear why but does anyone know how to rewatch these matches if you missed them?

    Things for teens in Manchester

    We will be visiting Manchester this coming weekend, and was wondering if there any locals here that might be able to suggest anything that might be quirky and fun to go and see?

    For context, I have 13 and 8 year old daughters to try and keep interested so I want to mix a couple of things to keep them interested in with the things I want to do. I think doing a run around some of the vintage stores and the Pankhurst Centre could be good but does anyone have any other suggestions?
