My laptop is a HP ZBook 14 G2 and the Plex server is the Grandad of i7 3770 CPU's streaming happily for the family on Plex with a few Terabytes of shows and films.... I'm hoping to upgrade it to a 7th Gen i7 later especially now the market is getting flooded on eBay 😉

I switched from Microsoft "Gingerhaired" Evil Stepchild Vista back in 09, went with Ubuntu, tried KDE a number of times, I just can't get on with it, went GNOME 2 at the time, then Unity and I then switched to MATE and now I'm back full circle to GNOME with tweaks! Great journey eh?

I installed the same back err .. has it really been that long? Jesus I'm old!

I'll get Gandalf to charge the ether up! Maybe he will help with conditions?

Being a fellow Radio Ham, I must point out that Datamodes use the screen time, but theoretically, you can let it run while you're making a coffee etc 😀 I'm getting back into the hobby after a 10 year break, in that time did something the neurosurgeon told me I couldn't.... I've had 2 kids!!

properties, but insist we british, irish or those that have lived here all or most of the lives require a Guarantor.... so not just Lord Farquaad and the Daily Whale spreading it... I'm outta here with my white stick etc... leave you to your 2D/3D Doodles

You are a little late, I've already been educated on the subject, but others need to understand the distorted meaning of the 2 words before you go off on a rant... I will carry on sitting on the 40 yard line, but I beg to differ as some of the Estate agents here in South Wales let those have...

I'll take my white stick and go before I get jumped on. I will say I moved from the Midlands to South Wales 9 years ago, so in some respect I'm a migrant... anyway I will leave this as I said and watch from the sidelines....

Many thanks for clearing this one up for me... and I shall remember not to use this in any post I reply to on one of the 2 social networks I use. It still doesn't help the fact that meanings of Refugee and Asylym Seeker thanks to media and Political Gov's have become so distorted....

And as I said above, the words Asylym Seeker and Refugee have been distorted so much, many do not understand which is which anymore.... I shall end my posting on this one before I get told I'm racist etc.... of which I am neither as I have muslim, Welsh, Irish, Scottish and European friends....

Firstly as I postes in one of the replies, I'm on the 40 yard line on it all, secondly history was one of my weaker subjects since 35 years ago at school. Now please tell me where I'm speaking misinformation? If at any point I have said something wrong I will hold my hand up

So I'm going to put my neck on the line and say citizen or work visa, and I mostly agree with you about the crisis being political, but when a UK citizen cannot rent a property because they cannot get a guarantor but asylum can manned you sit up and think and no I'm not being racist etc

You've just got the nail squarely on the head! I moved from England to Wales with my ex-wife, that was almost 10 years ago, now my almost 10 year old son classes himself as Welsh and I have an almost 7 year old daughter with my partner who is Welsh and getting a property was hard... Ended up private

And is it Asylum or Asylym? One is a mad house back in Victorian era? Anyway, I'm not going to go to deep, Hydrocephalus is playing up and brain just isn't playing ball this evening.... Question though... Housing priority, UK resident or Asylum seeker first? As the march says weicome on our street

So you're Hypothetically saying the Goverment are spreading misinformation? I'm taking a back seat on all of this, being registered blind etc., with other health issues, but find the meaning of Asylym Seeker and Refugee getting distorted that much...

The poster @douglashartley.bsky.social said you never hear the word Refugee anymore... so I put it into both... what would others consider an Asylym Seeker over a Refugee?
