I did defederate from hexbear for a while a year or so ago. Just because at the time their users were generally just actively trolling for reactions in pretty much every community, and it just got too the point I defederated. I’ve since removed them from the defed list.

Generally I agree. But ML seems to have become a bit more clearly biased in their moderation. To me it’s not a reason to defed, but a reason to view the content they do allow in their hosted communities with that bias in mind.

I know the OP is using wifi calling as a solution. But since we’re talking voip providers.

I use voxbeam. But they’re wholesale, you need a fixed IP for incoming calls, their support are good. But they’re probably not going to want to help you with end-user type questions. They only support SIP. But, pricing is generally good and plenty of reasonably priced DID options.

That’s unusual. In the UK it’s generally only going to work if you’re in the UK. When I connect to my VPN (in my house, so residential IP), it’s hit and miss, the wifi calling icon will appear and disappear as it feels like. But otherwise it’s generally locked down.

I seem to remember, training exercises was what they told the initial troops that went into Ukraine was happening. So, while I really doubt they will do anything. That’s really not an indicator either way for Russia.

Well, mainly you just need to keep the EFI entirely separate. That’s generally all you need. That’s what windows will decide to wipe and reinstall. I just didn’t do it this time. I think because of how disks were already partitioned.

Exactly.

My main concern when someone asks me that, is how many minutes it will really be.

I’m not using VST. There’s a few games I got on Microsoft store some years ago which there’s no way (yet) to make run in Linux (at least to my knowledge). But, I don’t feel that much need to play them. At least not enough to boot into windows, complete the huge updates likely waiting and then fix the grub install afterwards just to play a game.

I have it as a dual boot option. But, it’s not been booted since November. So I am assured I’ll need to rerun grub when I do decide I need to boot it for something I cannot do in either Linux, or a Windows VM in linux (that’s really a small number of things).

I generally reject all. Then check for those sneaky sites that keep “legitimate interest” cookies ticked. I really doubt their idea of legitimate and my idea of legitimate align in any way.

These days only the major ones. Like the H1/H2 updates. I agree there’s zero excuse for it in the EFI boot world. But, Microsoft gotta Microsoft.

Often you can just find the boot again in the bios and choose it. And that should be assured if you don’t put grub and windows in the same EFI partition.

Microsoft has always had his arrogant idea that the PC they’re installed on belongs to them and will just delete anything else they find in the way.

Really? I see them when travelling to London all the time. I used to live in London too. A very common occurrence and if you want to keep traffic moving, allowing people that can proceed to do so, just makes sense to me.

Nope. People are on a roundabout and in the UK you will be going clockwise. So traffic on the roundabout is coming from your right.

I’ve driven in Italy/Germany and it is the opposite. People are going anti clockwise so you have to give way to your left.

The principle is retained on mini roundabouts where you give way to people on the entrance/exit to your immediate right (or of course traffic already on the roundabout) even though those work most similar to 3/4 way stops.

Stop signs don’t need to follow logic of traffic movement direction so you I suppose give priority to the right because being on the right side of the road they are easier to see? I’m not sure where those rules were formulated though.

Yeah I think allowing a write in answer is too risky. You will end up with 12 unique text answers otherwise.

I do like the idea of the equivalent of an open verdict. Which is probably a mix of options 1 and 3 from your list. If you don’t believe either of the provided options are suitable and you don’t want to skip then this option would be a nice thing.

Needs a skip option for questions you’re really not comfortable giving a reply to (I maybe missed it if there). I hit one I really did feel was far too subjective to give a reply to that might even potentially be taken seriously.

Otherwise a nice idea.

This seems quite similar to what we call I’m the UK inverse snobbery. It was quite a big thing (apparently) during ww2.

Depends on the size of the roundabout. For one big enough they could both join simultaneously and maintain a safe distance, that’s fine. If not, if you drive on the left the one on the right has priority and vice versa for the rest of the world.

In fact it’s only a problem if people arrive simultaneously at all junctions, since now there’s no person to the right of everyone.

In this case usually everyone stops (unless one of the cars is a BMW or audi) and then someone will start to move first. After which normal operational rules are restored.

There are specific times when this might be appropriate. For example if I am turning off at the exit after where the car is joining from, I can see they’re indicating to making a move around the inner part of the roundabout which is clear, and if I proceeded I would join a queue for my exit and block them. I’ll usually stop short and gesture they move in.

But otherwise it’s usually safer all round to stick to the rules.

Well couple of things.

You don’t know how long C has been incorrectly yielding. There may well have been enough time for them both to move onward.

Also there’s nothing to say that A isn’t a yet undiscovered C.

I’m from the UK so roundabouts are second nature. I’ve been an accidental C before. Where I had to wait for a lot of cars that had priority over me. When it finally was open for me I was zoned out. Luckily the car behind me was very polite and just used a short beep of the horn to bring me back to reality.

OK now see, if I saw that I’d think it was a parody. With the alpha male, right there in the name still.
