Having registered plenty of domains I can tell you that it needs a valid address but that address can be some random kebab shop the other side of the country, they don't care.

You have to admire her ability to talk so passionately about a subject she apparently knows nothing about.

The UK has one of the highest reduction in co2 emissions in the developed world and the current government has bought forward targets and introduced an unprecedented level of direct investment to make that continue.

In simple terms there are about 65 countries with a higher per capita co2 emissions than the UK. UK emissions have reduced by about 4% per year for several years running whereas countries like India and China are increasing in double digits.

UK should be applauded for doing more than it's fair share.

Useful quick reference for anyone who cares:

One of the advantages is that if you have to buy a Pixel to use Graphene then you are basically rewarding Google (even if you are buying secondhand). E/os USP is it comes pre installed option on Fairphone which are the moment is the most ethical way of buying a phone - if that is of concern to you. It is to me so I have bought one. By all accounts they have solved a lot of compatibility issues with banking apps so I might give eos a go myself.

Same (Zen for me though)

The wall is older than the existence of cars.

All my work computers are provided by the companies I work for and per their rules I can only take and store notes using their approved software and on their servers which basically means I work on a locked down Microsoft ecosystem. Access to third party productivity software is simply not possible outside of certain role specific specialist software.

I would guess literally millions of employees have a similar setup so it's not that we are tech illiterate per say, but more accurately in the corporate world this option doesn't exist so there is no point trying.

Outside work my productivity tools consist of a Moleskine notebook with tasteful check paper.

Can't they just make tabbed file explorer work properly instead?

Well.. red is for blood, the flag is square shaped and the stars are different sizes of tanks.

I habitually downvote anything referring to the site formerly known as twitter, especially if it's a pointless screenshot. Glad I read a bit further into this one if that is your attitude.

Why is the screenshot even nessecary? Does somebody think that posting on X is somehow more legitimate than anywhere else?

I also downvote about 10 posts a day entirely by accident because the downvote button on my screen is about 4 pixels and rests in the natural scroll area.

My point is that a downvote probably doesn't always mean what you think it does.

For those of you wondering if you might have been affected but can't find out because the article is paywalled: Lloyds, Bank of Scotland and Halifax are the ones affected.

You don't have to pay national insurance until your yearly income reaches a certain level but after that it's a flat rate.

Probably not but doing less evil is better than doing nothing.

I might holiday in Croatia this year after all!

As someone who has never been to Texas, I associate Texas with unrelenting sun and vast tracts of uninhabitable land with little or no environmental value (ok that bit is hyperbole, I know deserts are in fact a delicate ecosystem but you get the idea).

Or in other words, perfect solar panel real estate.

So what's stopping them taking advantage of all the almost free energy!

I don't agree with letting the US use our air bases but that doesn't mean this isn't a poorly written dog shit opinion piece.

I agree with you except for "the only thing we can say for sure it will be whatever works best for them. " Too often lately US policy hurts US interests as well (giving Argentina billions of dollars to support their beef industry, for example).

They have run out of money and apparently will now only build 550m of it!

This is true, I would say it is currently the most ethical smartphone you can buy today, though. If you get it with e.os installed it is also more privacy focussed as well but as a heads up e.os doesn't work with some banking apps.

What on earth do you mean?

Does that mean I can carry a smaller spare tube and save 3.2 grams? Bonus!
