I looked through the Giant Instruction Manual of Lemmy for this and I couldn't see any recommendations about titles but I'll change it for you if I can.

One of the problems I have with search engines when looking for tech solutions is that the results are incredibly out of date. I don't bother any more and just go straight to the product's own support forum. Where possible I add the forum's own search entry to Firefox's search box. At least I no longer get answers to a problem no one has had since 2018.

The earliest known burgers I have read about were made and sold as roadside snacks in the Roman empire.

Exactly. If they want honesty in labelling then images of happy cows in fields on dairy products should be replaced by pictures of young calves being pulled from their mothers so they don't consume the milk.

Have you ever been confused by coconut milk? Do you think that hamburgers come from Hamburg? Are sweetbreads made from wheat and sugar?

The whole Bellendcat thing sounded a bit sus to me when I first came across them being lionised in the UK press. One plonker sitting in his bedroom outdoing the might of the Five Eyes? Mmm, sure.

It was Mozilla for me back in 2000. I gradually replaced all the proprietary apps I was using on Windows with FLOSS alternatives and then finally made the mover to Linux around 2010. The only closed stuff I use now is an iPhone and I despise it.

A Thunderbird bridge would be useful but the missing Calendar feature for me is search. Other than that it's close to perfect.

 

The smiley-faced whopper grows up to 1.8m long and weighs as much as a 10-year-old child. It sounds like a child too, making crying and moaning noises that have earned it the nickname ‘wáyáyú’ or ‘infant fish.’

It's not a recent event but I only I realised this today.

 

Headphones on, volume up, sit back.

Sleaford Mods are an English post-punk music duo, formed in 2007 in Nottingham. The band features vocalist Jason Williamson and, since 2012, musician Andrew Fearn. They are known for their abrasive, minimalist musical style and embittered explorations of austerity-era Britain, culture, and working class life, delivered in Williamson's East Midlands accent.

 

I was watching an old episode of Have I Got News For You and a David Cameron promotional site was mentioned so I checked it out. His people must have let the domain name expire as it's now a spam blog called David Cameron Journalism.

David Cameron improving your life, one shitty link farm at a time.

 

You like shredding? Alvin Lee was the OG shredder.
