Fuck.

Thames Water planning on fucking us over the most. But remember that Thames water haven't paid out a divided since the Aussie owners pillaged them and sold it to the Saudis.

In a very narrow definition of dividends that doesn't include paying out to the Saudis.

I found ITX did, it did restrict my options however with my Ryzen 5 and RX6650 XT I can play everything at full detail and high resolutions. Linux is awesome with AMD hardware.

Looks like one of the 8-Bit Do ultimate controllers. I don't recognise the stick/body colour combination, my black ones were just black

If materials are not easy to access, then it won't scale cheaply.

As per the initial comment, those that didn't vote Tory mostly moved to Reform not to LibDem.

Because LibDem wouldn't make sense, as a pro-trans, pro-EU, pro-increase tax to pay for public services party they don't offer anything that Tories want.

That was a wishful thinking comment that some Tories might want to not move far-right, those that find the Tories unpalatable due to their shitty views have already moved.

I would suggest that your more likely to find folks who voted LibDem to move to Green now that they've rebranded themselves to something other than crusty hippies. I know my mother moved from voting LibDem to Green.

LibDems? We did vote for AV, and the 51% idiots voted against it.

AV for Commons, PR for the Lords replacement.

Ah, but these numbers come from this past election.

If we had PR then people would be more likely to vote Green because you don't have to be tactical. Your vote goes to a Green seat, rather than voting for another party to keep Tories out.

significant share who'll vote Lib Dem or Tory, but not Labour

Citation required for that.

The Liberal Party, which is now the modern LibDems, was founded as opposition to the Tories. Their values are completely different, which is why most LibDem voters were concerned about the coalition.

Labour was founded to represent workers rights, the Greens for the planets rights, and the LibDems for social rights.

The Tories are toxic for all three of those.

LibDems made smaller gains

I'm not talking about gains, LibDems already split the vote, Reform is just now doing the same to the Tories.

LibDems are not the same as the Tories. However I would concede that if the LibDems folded, the membership could easily move to Green.

How do you convince the EU to let us back in?

We'll need a couple of Labour terms before they'll answer the phone.

By that statement though, the LibDems split the left vote and so if your going to compare, you'll need to add the liberal vote to the Labour as that's where they would go if LibDems disappeared.

We already have the left wing vote split by Labour, Lib Dem and Green.

If you want to claim the 36%, you'll need to add up the left wing parties together.

They've also got the Xbox interface for controllers, the reason they don't make Windows better for this scenario is that they already have XBox and making a SwitchBox interferes with their plan to make everything shit.

Mr. Upperty is now Mr. Snooty? When did that happen?

Yeah, I know Mr. Adventure as he is plastered all over the airport play areas.

But there are a lot that I don't know. I assume like Mr. Adventure, they were created for corporate sponsorship.

Absolutely. But they want everyone to know they are using Windows, which if there was a custom shell then they wouldn't.

They have >95% of the market, they don't care about making a good interface for TVs as they already lost it to Android, and they don't care about making a good gaming interface as they already have XBox.

Windows users are an inconvenience, that they want to milk.

No, Microsoft don't allow it. As part of the distribution licence you are not allowed to customise the OOB interface.

People don't know it's Linux, but it's absolutely because of Linux that it works.

They could call it Windows Console Edition, or WinCE.

Nope.

The big thing is that the Deck uses Linux which allows Steam to provide an amazing interface.

All the "competition" still tries to use Windows, and the experience is appalling.

Then you should look around. It is very much a thing in the UK.
