Motability is a benefit that's gone from one that was provided only for people with genuine mobility issues to one that's abused on an industrial scale. And I know that from personal experience and not from whatever the Daily Mail told me. That you brand anyone raising concerns about it as 'right wing' is quite pathetic.

I fly 200ish flights a year so figure 70-80 nights away.
2025 was 100% hotels but 2019 was about 80% Airbnbs.

Comment Re:Needs an official Linux boot camp (Score 1) 70
I wrote a compiler for an ObjC-like language (with less brackets), which can produce binaries for any of {Mac, Windows, Linux, WASM, Arm A9 (Zynq), m68k or 6502} running on any of {Mac, Windows, Linux}. So you can produce a dev-signed Mac binary on a Linux box. I’m just going through extending that output range to mobile {Android, iOS} and I’ll release it as open source.
The compiler docs for the language (xc) are at https://compile-xc.org/ - feel free to browse.
I didn’t think getting the signing working for Mac/iOS was terribly hard.

The $5K a year just gives you a $300 per person per visit discount. So pays itself back in 15 visits or so.
