For sure a refurbished thinkpad. Generally thinkpads have good support in all the popular distros, their build quality is decent, and it’s easy to upgrade and repair.

There is a way of mounting a btrfs partition in Windows, but I am not sure about it’s level of performance.

I would be honest about owning the property from the get go. Because if it ever came out that you’re the owner (and it most certainly will) that would create a very awkward situation.

In my eyes so long as you are paying for the mortgage/house loan, and not passing on passing on the burden that the tenant won’t gain from then your ethically in the clear.

As for what the tenant would pay, I see no reason not to go 50:50 on the bills with the tenant, and potentially getting them contributing to a ground rent (not sure if that’s a thing outside of the UK, but it’s basically where the owner of an apartment pays the owner of the building to help with upkeep).

You might even consider a situation where you agree a monthly surplus to set aside in the event of repairs that may need to be done, agreeing that any money they put in is returned to them as the end of their tenancy if no such repairs were needed.

At the end of the day if you have a tenant you shouldn’t be extracting any value from them for your own benefit, beyond the obvious benefit of sharing living expenses.

If anyone disagrees with me I’d really love to hear it.

The report this article is based on is actually called “On Thin Ice: Disproportionate Responses to Climate Change Protesters in Democratic Countries”

The title of the article is a bit misleading including the term “rich countries”, especially as that term is not used once in the article.

In my mind measuring the level of democracy is harder than the wealth of a nation.

I could see Starmer’s Labour doing this for sure; they don’t want another Jeremy Corbin again, and are doing their best to rid the party of outspoken ‘leftists’.

What a cool and normal country we have.

I really liked Spooks as a young person, I wonder if I would like it now as a fully grown adult who’s opinions of police and authority have…changed

I’m proud of Southampton! Only 10 shitheads, and hundreds of anti-racists. Good showing everyone

How common is it to have a laptop with 2 batteries?

Taking part in a genocide is cringe tbh

Is it lazy of me to suggest showing nuked releases as a percentage of the groups total releases?

It’s funny you should say that, because my local council are currently struggling to collect bins. They haven’t collected to bins for the cafe that’s attached to my workplace for about 2 weeks now. It’s getting grim.

Well done! Keep up the good work.

This unsettles me
