If we look at the recent example of an organisation capitulating to community backlash, that of wizards of the coasts new D&D license, then a big contribution was from people cancelling their D&D beyond subscriptions and affecting monetary metrics the bean counters could see.

I suggest people here do the same. Cancel premium subscriptions if you have them, install adblock if you haven't, and remove any adblock exemptions you may have given Reddit from their past "please unblock us" campaigns.

I also suggest doing so as soon as possible, rather than waiting for subscription renewal times or the 12th - if it's just one big burst on the 12th, Reddit might think it's done and over with, but a

It seems we get asked about expanding it every few weeks so let's test the opposite proposition.

Would you support moving the Irish language to an optional subject? If so, at what level? The entire way? In secondary school? At LC level?

Would that apply to the Irish language as a whole or only certain parts? I.e. would you keep the literature studies and drop the creative writing or vice versa?

I'm looking for a bike for:

1. Commuting to work (~8km, on roads in mixed states of repair)
2. Riding around local park trails (partially road, partially hard dirt, nothing super bumpy - some of the worse maintained roads would be rougher)

The last bike I owned was in my teens, which was some cheaper mountain bike from the local bike shop in my hometown. I've been cycling on the city rental bikes since november for travel around the city and the local park trails, but they're not actually any use for commuting to work as the docks near me empty out before I need to commute to work. Plus the lowest gear on the city bike isn't really low enough for the steeper parts of the park trail.

So I

I have a Fossil Gen 6 and a Pixel 4a. I'm just using the preinstalled "Wellness" app on the watch and the Google Fit app on the phone (though I am open to answers of "xyz app is better at this because ABC").

One issue I'm running into is that tracking workouts on the phone Vs the watch produce different results and have different features. For example, the phone breaks down my pace by 1km chunks, which is helpful for figuring out what my actual pace is by excluding those chunks where e.g. I spent 5 minutes at traffic lights. It also lets me tag what type of activity which is helpful when reviewing later, while the watch tags everything as a run.

However, when the watch is in tracking mode

I've had a Digital Rebel XTi/400D (I am in europe, but it's labelled rebel XTi so I guess the previous owner got it in the US) so it was imported at some point) that I bought used about 15 years ago. It came with a flash that I basically never used and the 18-55mm EFS lens. Generally I would use it when I was going somewhere to take photos. So mostly large scale photography from medium or far distance, landscapes, buildings, museum exhibits.

When I used it, 90% of the time I just used the presets as a fancy point and shoot camera.

In the last 3 or so years I stopped using it, the photo quality on my smartphone became "good enough" for most of my use, especially in the last 2 years with

I've got a set of headphones for 1.5yrs which I need to send in for warranty repair. Currys insist they only cover 1 year, while the manufacturer covers 2.

The manufacturer wants me to post it to their UK service provider. This appears to be the case since before brexit. Do I/the manufacturer need to pay customs to ship an item to/from the UK for repair? Does it change if they opt to replace rather than repair?

I'm experimenting with running ATS in Proton rather than natively to avoid some freezing/crashing issues I've had with the native Linux build in the last few versions. (The game just stops and displays garbled graphics with nothing in the logs, or I'd file a dev report).

So far it's working stably, but there's one issue I've had with the Proton build that wasn't present in the native build, and that is mouse lock (using Proton 6.3 from Steam). The game won't release the mouse so I can move to to other monitors to e.g. control a podcast or chat on discord, even when the game is in the menu.

I tried using winecfg in the proton wineprefix and the option to capture the mouse is apparently of

I saw an ad while logged out that had a scammy looking title and URL and opening it in a private window lead to a quiz promising me £257k. I tried to report it but needed to log in first and after logging in the ad was no longer present. I have the ad landing page and approximate title I can provide to admins to identify it
