People just blindly voted Labour in without considering what that they stood for.

Because after 14 years of Tory rule our living conditions are dire and mental health services not fit for purpose.

Maybe if they raise the CEO pay then they'll attract better CEOs who can figure it out. I bet they haven't thought to try that

Or Shark.

Like Apple, Dyson is just good at marketing. The products themselves are fine but nothing special.

I'm not even sure it's about immigration. Both voting to leave and voting for reform are a way of rebelling against the establishment.

I think it really depends on which loyalty scheme you're referring to. I was in Tesco today and the club card pricing is highly visible, in comparison to the actual pricing. It felt pretty misleading when I got to the checkout

But what of the pig markets?! Won't somebody think about the pig markets!

Labour didn't win this election. The lib dems didn't do particularly well and the tories didn't even perform that badly.

Labour and the lib dems are congratulating themselves on their wins but the reality is reform handed them most of the seats by splitting the right wing vote.

We need electoral reform so badly. Without it we're just going to go back to Conservative majorities as soon as they sort their shit out.

This is a good tip but is there not a more reliable way for the issue to be communicated to users? I suspect many people are going to be stuck on the pre-error version of Bluefin, unaware that updating is broken.

I used Ubuntu for a long while, then Debian for a new PC because the video card or display just wasn't working on Ubuntu.

Couple of weeks ago I finally tried this distro hopping thing people have been on about. I'd stuck with Ubuntu for so long due to an apparently misguided belief that it was stable.

I'm now using Project Bluefin from Universal Blue, a derivative of Fedora Silverblue and I'm blown away by how good it is. It uses Gnome and the maintainer has packaged a few tweaks to keep it similar in user experience to Ubuntu, along with a fantastic array of great software I never knew existed.

I'd highly recommend it to anyone historically loyal to Debian or Ubuntu.

For gaming you can easily install Bazzite as a container to access Steam. I can't say I fully follow the tech stack that makes it work, but it just does. Whereas my boilerplate Steam install on Debian was completely botched.

Universal Blue really is the future...

I can't see any mention of stopthetories.vote in that discussion though so perhaps it's better than the others, at the very least it appears to give the poll data so there's some transparency there

Just be aware these sites often have a significant Labour bias, don't take what they say as fact.
