Virtual Desktops on Windows aren't used enough. Mac has the "maximize to Virtual Desktop" button so I did a similar thing for Windows. Please go test it and file issues.
SHIFT-CLICK on the Maximize button will maximize a window to a new Virtual Desktop. Also a hotkey.

Haha had a scam call from 09 3024800 claiming to be the fraud team at my bank. I declined to provide any verifying data and called the 0800 instead.
Beware the con artists. This one had a New Zild accent!
I shall discuss it on my weekly telco/bank anti-fraud call tomorrow. π

Nothing winds me up more than Luxon and assorted other suits saying we need to be wealthier before we can afford doctors, nurses, water we can swim in etc. Meanwhile wealthier kiwi households have stacked up huge piles of savings (cash, shares, equity etc). The economy works for the few. [𧡠1/n]

Advertising agencies take note.
This contextualizes the wailing of mediocre men when a new generation of authors emerged and said this shit was not okay, ever, and we will hold you accountable for it.
There is a woman who never wrote, because she felt unwelcome, and I know she had something important to say. That makes me sad.
"Epstein class" has the stickiness to it to become an amazing slogan for democrats to use that will land solidly with people. It's perfect and whoever wrote it should be very proud.

Given that Jeff Bezos has named his yacht with a te reo MΔori word, I think Aotearoa should be allowed to confiscate it. Or sink it. Or tax it.

Not even wide use by the NZ public, so definitely no good reason for government agencies or politicians to be on a CSAM and racism-spewing site.
PSC should get agencies off it.
Weird, given that he's Puerto Rican which is a part of the US, which means he's not an immigrant, so what does the "immigration debate" have to do with him?
