Piss off, the UK is one of the safest places to be gay and to grow up gay in the world.

I had this issue - I was trying to cancel my Guardian online news subscription, and they make it painful. Insist the email must come from the address, they didn’t allow a code validating ownership etc, was a complete pain

I own a house, got a plumber for replace a cistern was like 30 mins of work, and I did that whilst working!

Sounds like a moron, but fixing a toilet once doesn’t make it a job. It’s passive income like an investment

I’d say that there’s a scale

‘pirating’ an abandonware PC game that has long been left by the original devs, and isn’t for sale anywhere legally - this is still illegal under most laws, despite their being no legal routes to buy it at all legally. Most sane people don’t think this is unethical.

But downloading a hacked version of an app or game developed by a tiny independent team that truly care about the product, and invest the profits back in it - I say that this is unethical, as the people you are stealing from are directly affected by your actions. If you bought this game or app, your money goes directly to them, and they are more likely to keep developing other things.

Adobe, MS and the like have billions, so piracy has less of a direct impact on them -

So yeah, for me it’s a scale of ethical piracy - and you have to draw the line where you feel comfortable

Scottish Indy movement has been put back by 10+ years after the political and possibly illegal financial fuckups of the main indy party SNP.

They still have control over most of Scotland, but their political power in Westminster is still fairly small, this might change next election though

Basically the next time they fuck something up, this will be an even better alternative for those leaving - I’m done with reddit

The data is public, the feed just only prints out publicly available flight data - if Elon wants privacy, he should just charter a private jet used by other billionare dickheads, it's not exactly a hardship now is it
