Government plans to send asylum seekers to Rwanda ruled illegal
Judges rule against policy after high court found it was lawful to send some people to Rwanda to have claims processed
Who would have guessed?! Now to wait and see how many commentators and newspaper editors call the judges 'enemies of the people'.
This looks really nice. Was using Prognoza for a while, but ended up back with the BBC Weather app here in the UK as I couldn't find a good open source app that showed allergy/pollen information.
This does seem to show allergens for some areas, though not all. Possibly a bug given the provider (AccuWeather) does provide it for each area on their website. If that's fixed I'd probably be able to use it exclusively.
Farscape. I'm pretty happy with that!
I seem to be unable to change my feed view or sort type either using the drop down at the top or the menu, and changing it in the settings seem to just revert back to all/active as soon as I press save. (Have checked using an account on an 0.18.0 instance.)
I've been using Tasks.org which syncs with my Nextcloud perfectly. Had tried quite a few before settling on this as the best option.
I use Jellyfin, and this was my first home server. Think if I managed it it has to be relatively easy for most people comfortable enough with computers. Probably slightly more involved than Plex though I imagine!
How do you obtain your music?
I know there's already a few posts about how people listen to, or discover new music, but I wanted to see how other people get their music. Do you buy CDs or vinyl? Digital downloads? Use streaming services? Something else? And why?
Until a few years ago, I would jump between streaming services depending on the best deals I could get, but got very concerned the more I read about how little money most musicians get from streaming listens (especially via Spotify) - and given I tend to listen to less popular bands/artists, it seems particularly bad for them.
I have a small selection of CDs and vinyl, but mostly buy my music digitally - directly via Bandcamp if the artist is on there, or through an online store like 7digital (or even sometimes if no other option, Amazon) if not. I have a home server where I keep my music and like to be able to stream it directly to my phone, so this tends to be the best of both worlds for me.
Interested to know what others do!
I was using Storygraph for a little while once I decided I no longer wanted to use Goodreads due to being owned by Amazon.
Then I tried Openreads for a short time, before realising I missed some of the social elements of the first two.
Finally settled on a local BookWyrm instance, Rambling Readers, which I'm happy with. It sometimes requires a bit of manual editing of books, but the more people use BookWyrm and contribute, the less often that should be necessary.
I tend to get whatever is available, but always rinse the filter before using it anyway, and haven't noticed any difference between the two.
Don't want to derail this as definitely wrong thread - but can personally recommend Aberystwyth (where I went) and Bangor which both supposedly have good accountancy courses and are both good student towns (high concentration of students to locals during term time). Cardiff and Swansea are ranked a bit higher though, and are also good choices if he wants the busyness of a major city.
AnySoftKeyboard Canary (the beta) was updated in March 2023. While I'm hopeful for some of the FOSS keyboards mentioned by others, for the time being I find AnySoftKeyboard to still be the most complete FOSS alternative to proprietary boards.
Hello from North Wales. Glad to find a good UK-specific community!
Same. Pretty much the perfect setup for laptop usage. I just use a couple of extensions like Just Perfection to tailor it a bit more, like removing the top bar which I personally don't find useful when I have trackpad gestures and keyboard shortcuts.
