  • I’ve seen banks that offer investment accounts but they only invest in businesses which meet certain ethical standards. It was by the Co-Operative Bank in the UK, which is some community bank thing owned by the customers. Not sure how that works but they do lots of the ethical stuff.

    I’ve also seen a charity where you could offer loans to small businesses in developing countries and if they ever became profitable they’d pay you back, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you never saw that again.










  • I have done in the past but it’s not a common thing. It really something I did when I was a kid. In the last 10 years I’ve actually done a bit of sleepwalking. It only really happens when I’m drunk but it’s always been quite fun as I usually just hear the stories in the morning. I’m not just wandering around aimlessly, there’s usually some kind of logic going on. You know when you’re in a dream and you have some kind of weird backstory to what you’re doing but you don’t know how you know it, you just know. I’m kind of walking around slightly conscious of where I am but with some weird backstory. Most of the time I just think it’s daytime and I’m doing something, like going to work.

    I’m not against some political stuff but there’s so many circlejerk opinion pieces that get posted. It’s just a bunch of people posting stuff that confirms their own beliefs, which is no better than what happens on the likes of Xitter. It’s just a different kind of echo chamber but people are okay with it because it’s left rather than right.





  • Everyone keeps complaining about smart TVs. I’ve got a Samsung and it gives me no bother. The only thing I don’t like is that when you turn it on, if you don’t do anything, it automatically switches to the last thing you were watching which often means my daughter might end up putting on some horror channel or whatever we were watching the night before after she went to bed.




  • I just installed openSUSE last night and I was thinking at the time about how crappy and dated the installer is. I mean, it does the job if you know what you’re doing but it certainly doesn’t even try to make it easy for anyone non-techie.

    I’m not really a fan of Calamares, I think the whole concept of booting into an OS and then using it to install another OS is a bit weird and could confuse people.
