The cost of franchising remains a major issue, with an estimated £135m bill for the city, covering buying back depots, investing in buses, and subsidising fares among other things.

How high was the bill before?

Also, are these diesel busses?

That did indeed scratch my itch. Cheers, mate!

Microsoft is a big contributor to the Linux kernel. It would probably not be in their interest to tank it as they'd lose customers from Azure.

But who knows, they might be stupid enough to try.

I bet they couldn't get away from the same tired old movie progression: 2 peaks and a happy ending. Most likely this ends with some monologue about how you can be whoever you are, even in this world.

Added to the "maybe" watchlist because I want to hear someone shout cunt in a movie. Do Aussies still do that in movies? I know they do IRL

Not a single time did anybody say "woke" in the trailer, yet somehow you inserted it in there and built up an entire narrative to argue against. I think this is the perfect example of a straw man.

Wouldn't surprise me. The AppStore isn't the first thing that Apple copied.

Still relevant 11 years later: Has Apple Really Ever Invented Anything?

And KDE looks so much better than windows' DE. It's also more versatile.

Gnome just copied Apple, which I guess somebody had to do in order to have them switch to something that looks familiar.

This is why I refuse hybrid or on location working as an office worker: I'm not getting paid for the commute. Fuck that. (Of course, it's also a waste of time to be in the office as it's impossible to concentrate, when you have some sales people loudly talking into their phones right opposite you as you're trying to get some though work done)

Great, no need to pay my employees then because they're volunteering their time to do stuff beneficial to me.
