Politics not supporting younger voters is not the same as young voters not being political.

Your statistics are not a valid criticism of gen Z. But of our generation and our failure to support the end of FPTP over other issues.

A 2-second look at the fucking fiscal mess we as a generation have left by voting for property prices and removing support for the higher education costs we had. Makes it pretty clear why those opinions exist. They are not a rejection of politics. But a rejection of the politics pushed by our generation of voters.

Honestly as an older git.

The whole idea that the younger generation is not interested. Is hardly a new one unique to gen Z.

Pretty much every generation since the 1900 has been accused of this.

The only difference is how much change in culture each generation has had to face.

Honeatly pre 1900s. One generation did not face much change from that of their grandparents world. Since then each generation has seen more change then the last. As technical groth has sped up notable even in my 50 plus yeae lifetime. The changes have been notable.

But each generation. As they age a % develop interest in things to a higher level. Little indicates gen z are any different in this.

Your wife is likely its actual intent.

Yep tuis is the history of cars.

The UK was the leader in the 50s. Changed to US cars in the 70s. Due to better (more reliable) byild quality and cheaper build standards. Then to japan again more reliable and cheaper.

China is on cheaper and reliability is catching up. Given priority changes and tech changes. Its ti be wxpected.

Short term. The issue is going to be how to drill and inspect the water. While garrenteeing no earth organic contamination.

Untill folks are 100% sure no life at all exists. Any other considerationvwill be on hold.

And proving a negative is going to take ages before folks are happy.

Those of us who grew up during the IRA bombing find that statement odd.

Threatening google does not seem like a wise political move.

Of all the companies able to misuse data if motivated to. Google really could screw a campaign if the decided to care.

batshit crazy & desperate

Hope so.

Because otherwise its fucking terrifying. And honestly that is the better reaction.

He is indicating at the least he plans changes that voting will not be able to change. At the worst plans to become a dictatorship.

And given his attitude. The later seems more likely.

Honestly. I assume if they vocally announced an policy. They worried the tories and media would successfully paint it as anti semitic.

No matter how rubbish that may be. It would be hard to garrentee the media could not manage it. More so after corbyn.

They likely considered no opinion to be less controversial and risky to the election then taking a side openly.

Not sure id have agreed if asked at the time. But hard to argue now.

Nice idea, I love. But you have to remember, those investigations cost huge time and money. When you consider the cost of a full-time staff over the 10 years, you include. Plus the cost of building a case against some of the largest cooperation. All before any court costs are considered.

We are likely better off having that money reinvested in preventing other companies from these practices.

Hi. I've not really used Windows since the early 2000. Even then not much.

I have a single mini PC with windows on. And use it only for device firmware updates. As a ham radio nerd. You get many devices that can only be modified via windows.

Anyway it was set up with dual boot the normal way. Windows first as it came with it. Then make a real Linux partition to use the PC on my boat while travelling.

Now the issue is I am upgrading the Mini PC. Basically replacing memory and the tiny 128gb ssd. So need to install it all from scratch.

I have order a copy of windows 11 from ebay. (At a price I consider acceptable for the crap)

But its going to take several days to arrive. And I would like to be more efficient.

So I am hoping folks can advice me on the best way to set up the PC with Linux first then install Windows 11 later. Knowing windows has a habit of messing up grub etc.
