Damn! Bpytop has an update apparently but I can't remember how I installed it? Did I use:
pip?
git?
snap?
apt?

This is really sad. I met a lot of good friends on Freenode. While I haven't used it for a couple of years, this story is still upsetting.

You've gotta love the UK. This morning Charlie and I were sat on the patio eating Vanilla Skyr and enjoying the early morning sun. It's now chucking it down with rain and freezing.

Hey, Plusporans!

I posted this as a reply to someone who was reposting the announcement about the issues Pluspora was having lately, but I figured I would post this just in general.

I would like to extend an open invitation to you and anyone who is wanting or needing to setup another fediverse account (due to the unfortunate circumstances at Pluspora) to come check out Friendica. Our friendly Friendica instances speak many languages, so they reach in to many other parts of the fediverse - the GNU Socials, Pleromas, Mastondons, etc, as well as Hubzillas and of course, Diasporas. This invitation is not to dissuade from choosing any particular path, but as I don't see enough cheering for all the great improvements that go in to Friendica all the time, I figure I'd make some noise, especially in light of the changes (or possible changes?) going on at Pluspora.

Feel free to try out a Friendica account at social.isurf.ca (I've been running this instance since April 2018) or at any instance that might be close and comfortable geographically - you can find a list at the-federation.info/friendica

Heck, even if one has had an account on a Friendica instance in the past, there's been a great number of improvements over the past couple of years.

Have a great day, hope all is well, and we look forward to seeing you wherever you wind up!

Around 2000 already handed back. It's political pressure from Morocco, every time there's a negotiation or some quarrel happens something like this.

That explains why France is letting so many attempt the channel crossing.

So they dug up all that peat and sold it, and now the government is going to pay £50M to put it back! 🤦‍♂️

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗿𝗼𝘁! It has nothing to do with Corbyn or poor results in 2019 and everything to do with voters seeing through Labours outdated views! Wigan Pier is now a niche coffee shop, Jarrow is a designer outlet. Nobody wants to get behind the party of Gloom & Doom and a 1960's attitude. Nobody is doing 18 hours at the pit face any more. People are getting on board with positivity, progress, investment and jobs. Working families don't want handouts. They want opportunities to better themselves. They have faith in a government that has actually risen to the challenges of the last two years and successfully guided us through.

If you filled out a postal vote but didn't send it, they will accept that at the polling station. You can invoke an emergency proxy vote up until 5 pm today.

So here's a question: Will Twitter, Facebook, et al. be banning anyone who shares Donald Trumps stuff? When does protecting become censoring?

And yet another positive thing the Government is implementing that slips under the radar. ftadviser.com/regulation/2021/… as we come out of COVID restrictions, more and more people will be grateful for this, especially those who have sadly lost their jobs.

You know what? 27 Years. You can't say Bill and Melinda Gates didn't give it a fair go. It seems a shame that people can't find a way to accommodate differing views, though, if that's truly the reason for the divorce?

Your guess is as good as mine, but I have to agree with you. It seems silly to divorce at their age; it's not as if they're stuck in a two-bedroom semi in Tower Hamlets.

We're not laughing, never did. But a reboot screen is way better than a blue screen, as it isn't even based on a system failure, just waiting for a user input. But yes, poorly configured Grub.

Ultimately I couldn't give a damn. It just makes me smile when I think back to all the kiddies wetting their pants when someone posted a picture of an MS error. In fact, I'm sure I saw a presentation either at LugRadio Live or OggCamp by a guy who had a whole host of an information board and cash machine error messages. Oh, how we laughed our bladders out.

I have not watched a single episode of "Line of Duty", although I saw Stephen Graham get his throat slit, which was pretty shocking.
