Yup, plus passata and puree. No such things as a tomato glut.

Was looking at Approval Tweaks, any idea if using it stops you gaining Steam achievements?

You're going to hear a lot of people saying how straight forward Windows is install; I'm avoiding W11 so have my W10 anecdote.

The only way I've ever been able to install W10 is to disconnect every single peripheral except m/kb and one single drive.

Anything else over the years, be it different mobos, HDD,SSD m.2 thingies it's always been the same; anything more than m/kb and one single disk W10 shits the bed.

If you're still struggling, try that.

Very very very little indication they would be better, and I'm very left of center in politics.

Starmer is very suss as far as I'm concerned, I'm not at all comfortable with his purges...if he gets in, we'll see.

All good choices, but seeing no love for KDE Connect?

Yup same here. Two profiles, one is my daily driver and open source, they other is for the few apps I need with Google services. This is the perfect compromise between what I want, and what I need.

Used to be worse, to quote messers Pratchett & Gaimon.

"NOTE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND AMERICANS: One shilling = Five Pee.

It helps to understand the antique finances of the Witchfinder Army if you know the original British monetary system

Two farthings = One Ha'penny. Two ha'pennies = One Penny. Three pennies = A Thrupenny Bit. Two Thrupences = A Sixpence. Two Sixpences = One Shilling, or Bob. Two Bob = A Florin. One Florin and One Sixpence = Half a Crown. Four Half Crowns = Ten Bob Note. Two Ten Bob Notes = One Pound (or 240 pennies). Once Pound and One Shilling = One Guinea.

The British resisted decimalized currency for a long time because they thought it was too complicated."

Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett

I'll admit it, didn't pay attention to the group, spent the last minute looking for a bee on a stick.

Lovely cat. Disappointed in me. Sad no bee on stick.

I'm on an old android 7 (LineageOS), no issues this side.

Online ads, same here.

Was a small thing, I was vaguely aware of online ads but only at a high level.

Was browsing online for garden sheds then turned the laptop off. Came back in the evening and every single site was pushing ads for gardens sheds.

Did some research and 7 years later, de-googled phone, all social media long since closed, linux (mostly), VPN etc etc.

Not going to pretend I can do anything against state actors (CIA, GCHQ) , my threat actors are businesses, Meta, Amazon, Googlr etc.

Can't beat them all, but I can make my data exepensive to them at least.
