Russia have demonstrated the ability to carry out chemical weapons attacks on mainland UK soil.

if a full on exchange we would be out of air defence ammunition very quickly.

the british military slashed budgets considerably after 2008. we've maintained special forces and we decomissioned our last carrier before its replacement was ready. we're back up to 2 carriers now but dont have enough planes to put on them.

we have virtually no stockpiles of artillery and our land forces are small.

Theres quite a lot of humans on this planet. collectively we are capable of performing more than a single task y'know.

I'm not a climate scientist, but i am a programmer. i'd be much more useful on this sort of thing than trying to program my way out of climate change

My gripe is that i was on an ad free tier. They just changed it so that the tier that was previously add free now had ads.

If they had added an ad free tier below my tier i would probably still be a subscriber.

"you watch ads now, pay more or fuck off" didnt sit well with me so i fucked off

self checkout defo requires a lot less people than staffed checkouts.

 

I want to display a symbol at the top right of one or both of my screens, similar to the lightning bolt symbol raspberry pi OS uses to indicate lack of power, when certain conditions are met.

I'm pretty sure i could cobble a bash script together to decide when to do it, but it's the actual displaying of the symbol i'm not sure where to start on. It would need to appear on top of anything else that may be on the screen at the time

Everything i have tried googling returns irrelevant results
