I saw him a couple of times in the late '70s. Absolutely awesome live performer.

The whole band are outstanding in this performance.

I think he threw them. They were all talented musicians but probably starting to get a bit pissed off with their pop career by this point.

This performance was mimed, as TV shows of this era often were, but the drummer is really taking the piss.

I only discovered them via Teenage Fanclub, who basically took Big Star’s sound and built a career on it.

Fantasy jobs I never had #1: Assistant on '60s glamour shoot.

“OK boy we’re ready, go and oil up miss Fox”.

C’mon man, this was posted yesterday.

There’s always an option to backtrack, though it would likely come with a substantial monetary and reputational cost.

I dislike Bernie intensely, but let’s not kid ourselves that the current F1 owners are motivated by anything except how much money they can screw out of the sport.

Well, other than the fact that we don’t live in a perfect society (have you noticed yet?), because a rich, famous, influential 92 yo is probably the last person the authorities want in jail.

You’re not wrong, but jail time and justice is not what motivates HMRC, or any other revenue department. They want one thing, and one thing only: The money. Putting people in jail costs money, letting rich people 'fess up and pay up is much more lucrative.

Linux is fine for people like you and me who are comfortable installing our own operating system, and trouble-shooting any problems. Most ‘normal’ people though will continue to walk into a store, buy a laptop, and use whatever came installed.

Of course, the year of Linux on the desktop actually happened some time ago without anyone noticing. It’s called ChromeOS, and that’s a whole different can of worms.

They certainly have options, though I’m not convinced Tsunoda, Ricciardo or Lawson are necessarily better options.

Oh no, please tell me this isn’t true. Surely the well balanced and entirely rational Mr. Musk wouldn’t let this happen?

That’s hardly a Linux-specific problem. There are plenty of Windows problems I’ve encountered where running some random dude’s registry update script is the recommended answer. If you are running anything with Admin / Root rights in any OS you had better understand what you’re doing.

Win 7 is peak Windows for me, but yeah, XP is fine. So is 2K or even Vista for that matter. With every release since 7 MS seem to have been actively looking for ways to make the UI experience worse.

Well, it’s actually not that difficult if you really want to, but there’s really no good reason to do so right now. It’s basically just the same OS with an even more annoying UI.

Interesting dress code you have in your workplace.

Yeah, just because something utilises technology doesn’t mean it belongs in a technology community.

Also, social media spreading misinformation hardly even counts as news these days.

My profuse apologies, Mrs Tea I will endeavour to be gender neutral in any further insults.
