The defections from the Tories are their high water mark in the Commons, they&#39;ve peaked in local government and we&#39;re on the downward side of the graph now.<br/>The country now needs to start undoing the damage that he (it&#39;s him, it&#39;s always only been about him) has done over the last two decades or so.<br/>Yes, that means #rejoinEU but it also means mending the hate reflex in society.<br/>#politics #UKPolitics 2026-08-14T07:51:15Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfjdnlufdtyxs8je3q5umx2fyjy6j7wlyf6pqpjvj3php4j3tqfsszyzmg3ea4dk9efnt072np5ezve9n5l2vmmpy0q4hh06cf8ja968mhqe8eq4j If I can&#39;t trust that the #Linux kernel won&#39;t be slop-free, looks like it&#39;s time to consider #BSD for the first time in three decades or so.<br/>Therefore, I&#39;m going to need some input.<br/>Advice on which BSD for desktop use.<br/>Will I be screwed in terms of gaming (my laptop has a 5070) via Steam/wine/Proton?<br/><br/>#FreeBSD :freebsd: #OpenBSD :openbsd: #NetBSD :netbsd: #BastilleBSD #UNIX #LazyWeb #LazyFedi 2026-07-15T18:39:07Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsrq8uuk2alffcgmseu2q9a5azmmrt9rygrywlvvf75k7k2zcvgjzgzyzmg3ea4dk9efnt072np5ezve9n5l2vmmpy0q4hh06cf8ja968mhqx2mrsj It seems it could have been a lot worse. The actual underlying numbers (grateful to Peter Kellner here) suggest the air is already going out of the #ReformUK balloon, they seem significantly down on last year&#39;s results in terms of proportion of seats won. Only two (so far) councils have been won by them - people are seeing their record in power and starting to turn against them. As it was with the BNP before, so it is with #Reform. <br/>#politics #UKPolitics #LocalElections 2026-05-08T09:25:24Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswcsz50fzzu260f73p90p4f3jl0rdlreq09jw3elsepmvksl0pkxczyzmg3ea4dk9efnt072np5ezve9n5l2vmmpy0q4hh06cf8ja968mhqerd457 I do wonder what it is about the series of parties led by Nigel &#34;Gas Them All&#34; #Farage that always seems to attract the racist, white-supremacist, bigoted bad apples.
