    This was the first thought I had too (and I assume most other Brits past a certain age), and he didn’t need a private island to do it in; child hospices and hospitals as you rightly point out were his hunting grounds; many staff even aware of what he was doing, but nothing ever came about from it whilst he was alive. And all the creepy comments he made throughout the years; he didn’t have to hide clearly.

    Come to think of it, Saville is probably a hero of Trumps. (If the baboon is even aware of him ofc) He did what Trump is trying to achieve; Dying a child raping hero, and then letting everyone deal with the fallout of your actions whilst your name goes down in history without ever having to face the music.



  • Can’t speak for the entirety of the West ofc but here in the UK It’s traditionally the norm that the woman takes the man’s surname; but it’s definitely become less common in the last 50 years or so.

    It’s not uncommon to see double-barrelled names; which are both surnames added together (IE: Mr Smith marrying Miss Jones could become the Smith-Jones’) or as you say, retaining their family surname post marriage.

    Same sex tend to go down the double barrel or retention routes from what I’ve experienced. I’ve met same sex couples where one elected to take the others name, but I’d be surprised if it was the most popular option in SSM, primarily because of where I believe this tradition stems from.

    My theory is that the less theocratical a country is, the less prominent this situation is. Religion eh. Helluva drug.


  • I installed it locally using the deb package on their GitHub. They also have apks and I believe a flatpak too (don’t quote me on that though).

    The android APK is a little funky (I kept getting the notification “you’ve been invited to a room” for every message I’d receive) so I switched back to using element x for the time being, but commet is now my go to client for my laptop, as I don’t use that machine for VC anyway.

    You’re right in the sense that none of it is hosted on app repositories though; they’ve still got some ways to go on that front.




  • Giving access when it’s not supposed too

    Not sure I’d agree with that statement. Personally I see it as the correct credentials were provided, and thus access was granted; ergo, the app performed as intended, and there is no bug.

    The error here seems to be around the lack of concern for security; nobody considered that using the same credentials for their fleet of robots could pose a threat if discovered. It’s no different to someone using the same email and password for everything, and then wondering why their facebook has been hacked after their Reddit account leaked. The problem isn’t a bug in code, it’s just poor cybersecurity hygiene; what we see here is the same just on a commercial level.

    Yea has been used online as a synonym for yeah for going on 2 decades at this point.

    Appreciate they’re both spelt the same, but context clues should help you differentiate. For example, this is a comment on a social media platform, not a spokesperson in a decision making chamber, such as a house of representatives or boardroom; therefore we can safely assume it’s a person agreeing with a statement and not someone calling for a vote.


  • Someone mentioned commet as a discord like matrix client the other day. I’ve trialled it using my matrix setup, and it looks and feels very clean, I definitely prefer it to element.

    Unfortunately as the tale always goes, it’s not quite on par with element in features (it claims to have RTC support using livekit, but I couldn’t find the group call option), but it’s definitely one of the more interesting clients to come about recently. I really like the separation of spaces and personal chats, and the multiple accounts feature is useful from a sysadmin perspective.

    Once they manage voice channels with RTC, I think matrix will finally have its discord alternative that could see some adoption with everyday users.
