    Admin charges for an unpaid invoice I didn't receive...?

    There's a couple of things here, I don't totally disagree with you but it is also a problem with councils. Councils are refusing to adopt new roads and green spaces because they're strapped for cash, and no builder is going to incur long term costs of maintaining roads and green spaces, so it's...

    Admin charges for an unpaid invoice I didn't receive...?

    They are compulsory, they're typically a covenant on the TP1 form (or whatever the land registry form is called). Pretty much agree with you, they're less scammy than leaseholds and ground rent but they're not great. Certainly in my area I don't know a house builder that doesn't do this.

    Homosexual Colours

    Of course it is an absurd argument, that is my point :). I wasn't seriously suggesting that the person you saw was straight. So please accept that it is equally absurd to suggest that the problem I raised equally impacts the gay and straight communities, it simply doesn't. Please don't present...

    Homosexual Colours

    We appear to be going around in circles. The behaviour I described is clearly endemic in heteronormative culture and not a homosexual one, how many gay couples do you think have children? I also strongly refute it is not deemed acceptable in society, but let's not derail the thread on that...

    Homosexual Colours

    I understood it perfectly thank you :), you missed my point. I never contested that sexual behaviour happens at pride, one of the whole points is to celebrate sexual diversity. I am absolutely sure you have attended many prides in your life and saw this "pink leather assless chaps" individual...

    Homosexual Colours

    They can, but clearly it is a bigger problem in the heterosexual world than the homosexual one, purely by numbers if nothing else. I mean, by your argument my counter to your point of gays wearing "pink leather assless chaps" is that in pride straight people participate and I'm sure there is at...

    Homosexual Colours

    Absolutely, let me pick one example (I have a few) because I don't want to derail this thread with an entirely different topic. I'll also use very broad strokes because, again, I don't want to derail things. Parents who have messy breakups/divorces, or better yet stay together "for the...

    Homosexual Colours

    Equal rights does not mean gays are the same as straight people, that is as crazy as saying men and women are the same. The point of equal rights is not so that everyone conforms to the white heterosexual male view of the world, it's so we can be who we want to be without discrimination. I hear...

    Pandemic 2.0?

    He has HIV, not AIDS. One is a chronic but manageable condition, the other is a death sentence. HIV does not become undetectable by itself, your viral load changes over time but becoming undetectable requires medical treatment. I'm not an expert on UAE, but given it is criminal behaviour to be...

    Pandemic 2.0?

    Rightly or wrongly MSM has been the acronym used in the medical profession covering gay and bisexual men for as long as I've been out (~10 years), it's certainly not a new term. You would be surprised as well how many guys identify as "straight" but are happy to be sucked off by a guy, as if...

    docker build question?

    Why does the war file care where tomcat is installed to? Usually you just move it to $CATALINA_HOME/webapps. If you want to move tomcat itself I don't see another option other than modifying the base tomcat dockerfile. That's quite unusual though and for a production application I wouldn't...

    Windows Subsystem for Linux

    WSL is essentially a lightweight bash terminal so you can run CLI linux commands within windows, it's not a full Linux installation. Whilst it's possible to get a GUI up and running, it's quite tricky and it's not really what it's designed for. Imo if you're looking to run the odd bash script...

    Docker based development

    By default kubernetes pods are stateless. Pods can be freely created, restarted and destroyed by the cluster and so you shouldn't use them to store persistent data. It's recommended to connect to a remote service for storage. I've not used azure before but I'm sure they'll offer some managed...

    OnePlus 3T

    I had a similar problem, can you get to the recovery mode? If so try following these instructions: http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3t/oneplus_3t_oxygenos_4.0.2/ This fixed my phone and has since installed all updates without issue.

    Will Linux improve a netbook video playback?

    Depending on when you were using your old netbook to watch youtube you might find the transition from flash to html5 also massively improves performance. This applies to all OS's but flash on linux was particularly bad.

    Windows Multiseat configuration challenge :)

    Or buy a £800 desktop and use steam's streaming service to one of the old laptops when you want to play games on it, it works pretty well through a wired connection even with very modest clients. Linux is also a good option to give aging laptops a new lease of life.

    Microsoft have finally learned (improved updates)

    I think you're confusing your own annoyances with that of the vast majority of Microsoft's consumers. The huge success of Android and Chrome have demonstrated how little the 'average person' values their privacy. If it truly annoyed people then more and more people would be using Linux.
