  • Whilst I am sympathetic to the overall aim of this, things like this:

    She would have expected people to name figures such as Quintus Lollius Urbicus, who became governor of Roman Britain

    …do stand out as being a a bit unrealisitic. I mean, how many governors of Roman Britain of any race or nationality can the typical Briton actually name? I’d be surprised if it was more than 1 and probably less than that.

    And if the expectation is that anyone would know of this guy only because his chief contribution to history is “being black” then I am not sure what we are gaining here.



  • Although I am required to use windows machines for work normally and, since we dont have access to firefox, i normally use edge there, there are occasions on which I find it convenient to hop into a similar setup on my home linux machine to get to my work account. I will use edge for that - as well as outlook online etc.

    For a work browser, I find it pretty useful. There is no way that I would want to use if for general purposes though.
