As Labour continues to plan on cutting benefits, a new National Institute of Economic & Social Research report concludes that the UK has one of the weakest social security 'safety nets' in the developed world... alongside a low-wage labour market, the economy ensures the poor stay poor. Now Labour plans to make that worse!
As Max Mosley, one of the reports author sums it up: 'We are neither delivering prosperity through high wages nor security through welfare'!
Disgraceful!

Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone. Hugs all round. Happy Thursday.
It looks like being a promising (if cold) day here today, which is a good thing for us as we have a family funeral to attend.
We will also be seeing the nephew who got married last summer, & who has already walked out on his new wife to have an affair with someone he met at his job. We don't know what we will say to him - all our sympathies are with his poor wife. She is a lovely young woman and doesn't deserve this.
Thank you. We can’t get our heads around it all. The next time we see the nephew will be Christmas. We want to tell him what an idiot he is, but it’s not our place to say it. That’s for his parents.
He didn’t even try to stick around & make it work. He will be a bad bet for anyone, going forward. And yet - in so many other ways we couldn’t think of a nicer, kinder young man. It’s confusing….
They must have spent many thousands on their big flashy wedding , & are now saddled with the debt & no marriage to show for it. And it will take his poor wife a long time before she can trust anyone again.

A perfect example of good software. Enter email, enter password, welcome to federated encrypted chat messages. Simple. Easy adaptation too. Invite a friend using either a friendly invite URL (referral link) or Qr Code, they enter their email address, and password, done. This is easier to use than WhatsApp or Signal. It is called, Delta Chat, and it works with your own email. #WhatsApp #Signal #DeltaChat #Fediverse
The 1 thing I would change is when clicking on "new profile" is the option to use your own email, instead of signing up for a new Fedi provider, should be viewable right away, and not hidden under "other".
Make it transparent and obvious. It truly is the best feature. Keep this simple. You want someone's Grandma with zero technical skills to have this front and center.

I am not a fan of Cyberpunk. But now I think about it playing favorite games on 6K Pro Display XDR looks pretty sweet.
WELL...in a surprising turn of events, I will own a brand new (paid, nothing weird) Bambulab X1 Carbon.
I won't be using it until February, but I wanted to enjoy the christmas discount (I know they have other discounts during the year, but now it was a good time to buy, rather than reaching february and discovering I have to wait until agust maybe?...)
In any case, I can't fucking believe it.

There we go.
The AMS will be fully extraible for excellent access (no chance for the whole thing to topple, with the 20+kg of concrete in it)
I only need to find a carpenter with a rable saw that can cut this plywood into my required size.
That plywood has emotional value/attachment, so I want to use it, rather than get new one. I brought it with me from my old-old job, as a gift of sorts from my boss (can I take this? - "sure thing")
It has been used as table for years and I appreciate it.
🙋 Not a carpenter here, just a guy who moved into an old house that needed lots of care and owns a jobsite table saw as a result.
If you're anywhere near Southeastern PA, US - reach out.
Regardless, watching this thread progress has been cool. Keep up the awesome.
In the end, I wasn't able to find somewhere I could carry the big panel to cut, so I ended buying some half decent 15mm plywood for this, because I could get it cut in the shop.
Also bought one ikea monitor riser so I can tuck the keyboard under it when I take out the laptop. Somehow I thought I remembered those being sold already varnished, and got surprised when I found out they weren't.
Just gave everything a varnish coat so tomorrow I can install it.
Everything is a spacer if you have enough copies of it.
The first supports are glued AND screwed down (I already removed the eccess glue, no worries).
Then, attach the rails tho those (that had been previously drilled) and using the improvised spacers and double sided tape, adhere the top supports.
Drill and remove the tape, then install back in place.
Aply some glue to the top supports, fit the top then drill, countersunk and screw in place.
This shit ain't going anywhere.
I'm really glad I used a thinner plywood. After finishing the install, there were about 5mm of clearance between the top part and the AMS.
I may end up adding a front cover, even if just for the aesthetics of it.
As per the monitor supports, I had bough some little feet for the left one, not realizing it would then make both parts sit flush, so I added one of the screws for that bit of extra safety (so it can't be pushed sideways and off the table).
Being able to hide the keyboard and mouse inder that feels really nice, altough I would really like to cut 30mm off of that depth, and maybe some form of aesthetic trim, but I have no wood router to try the latter.
It's good enough for now, tho.
Ooh, nice risers!! 8- o
I like the bent-wood look & the light-colored grain!
And connecting the two makes a sturdy work & storage area!

Marktbericht: DAX wackelt wieder
Einen Teil der starken Vortagesgewinne dürfte der DAX zum Handelsstart wieder verlieren. Das Gezerre um die US-Zollpolitik zwingt die Anleger zur Vorsicht. Sie scheuen das Risiko.

The classic LibreWorlf user. Admits that LibreWolf breaks this, and that, may not work here or there, but insist it is the best browser. 🤣 Folks, this is why Chromium won the browser wars. 😅
I still maintain that LibreWolf has a very specific target audience, and it's very good at what it does for that target audience.
Said target audience is, however, NOT the regular user who just wants to browse the web, but rather someone who absolutely requires to have the smallest online footprint possible, like journalists or people who might be in some danger lists.
Regular users who are privacy conscious but don't require that level of abstraction from the Web are, IMO, better served by other Firefox forks.
Saying that LibreWolf is well suited for everyone is a mistake, and will only hurt both LibreWolf and Firefox.
" Saying that LibreWolf is well suited for everyone is a mistake, and will only hurt both LibreWolf and Firefox. "
Except, the problem is, that is exactly what both LibreWolf and LibreWolf users, claim.
When I was a Firefox user (I use Vivaldi Browser, now), I absolutely hated LibreWolf. And my reasoning for hating LibreWolf was they only served to hurt, Firefox.
LibreWolf would break either something in the browser or over the most common websites (Facebook, Amazon, Google, etc.), and then blame Firefox. Meanwhile, their users would continuously insist that Firefox users, use LibreWolf. -- It always felt like they were trolling Firefox, since it came off like a snake, eating its tail.
I have no respect for LibreWolf, whatsoever.
