I'm beginning to think that the eradication of the Irish language, thereby forcing us into an inescapable cultural and political grouping with the Anglo countries, may have been the worst thing the British ever did to us.

it’s going to look great at first: a new era of “cheap” phones and laptops, that are light and slim with amazing battery life - because they’re basically just front ends for cloud services, and do zero local compute
