@matigo Given that some local papers cover national news it’s not a bad plan. The remaining problem though is the news agencies. I remember someone talking about working for one of the big news agencies in London, not Reuters, the other one, Associated something… Anyway, there was a whole floor dedicated to the Middle East. There was more space given to that region than to most other whole continents…and it was all paid for by Saudi Arabia. These are the very few institutions that feed basic news information to numerous outlets all over the World. They are information tollbooths.
@matigo I sometimes go to a cafe inside a supermarket and grab a bottle of Cranberry & Lime juice from the chiller cabinet. Cheaper than coffee. They have free propaganda rags as well.
@matigo I don’t do computing on a desk/table. I do computing on soft furnishing and beds so have to keep reminding myself to make the concerted effort to get the HDs out. I wish I had a big house with a dedicated computer room.
People are getting cancer or dying left right and centre. Relatives and neighbours. What’s going on? No one I’m close to thankfully.
Note to self: the iPhone isn’t properly backed-up if the computer you’ve backed it up to hasn’t been backed-up since you backed-up the iPhone to it.
