I know the meme is Ted Cruz being the Zodiac killer, but are we sure it isn't actually RFK Jr?

The transition to the Manifest V3 framework means extensions like uBlock Origin can't use remotely hosted code. According to Google, it "presents security risks by allowing unreviewed code to be executed in extensions." The new policy changes will only allow an extension to execute JavaScript as part of its package.

Is this a badly worded paragraph, but is uBlock Origin really using remotely hosted code? I thought it was a different restriction in manifest V3 that stops as blockers being effective.

So Reddit gold?

I'm intrigued by what they class as a long distance train, are they counting domestic only services? I wonder if the size of the country plays into it as well as most of the top ones in that list are relatively small, so presumably less long distance routes, and they are presumably shorter routes as well so maybe less chances for delays.

How many of those brands actually have factories in the UK or are even owned by a UK company anymore.

MG are just a brand under the Chinese company SAIC and as far as I can tell don't have a UK factory, some quick googling suggests they are considering one last year but not sure how far that has got. And the majority of their models are EV.

Given Awdry was quite keen on accuracy to the real world engines (see the falling out with one of the first artists) I'm actually surprised there isn't more consistency with the liveries. The Culdee Fell Railway has all engines with the same purple livery, and I think from memory the steam trains on the Skarloey Railway are red, which is more accurate to real life as generally each railway would have its own livery.

I think earlier on when there were fewer engines it was less of a problem as they all had fairly distinct shapes being based on different real engine classes Garden and pre rebuild Henry probably being the least distinct.

You were supposed to bring order to the railway not cause confusion and delay

If I had to guess, seeing that number change might be an indication that that contacts account might be compromised. So if you see your contacts number of linked devices increase you could ask them about it through another channel/irl and confirm if it was them who linked it.

Unfortunately Affinity just got brought out by Canva https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/press/newsroom/canva-statement/

Of course they are claiming oh no we won't be going subscription only, but if history is to be believed, give it a year or two and see that stance change.

Not related, but why do most of the comments here have several user accounts tagged/linked?

For me it made it easier to visualise which desktop had which thing on, so I knew the front face of the cube was my main desktop and my email was on the face to the right.

The default way for some reason never really clicked with me the way the 3d cube did
