Lyrics:
You called it love
But it never had that feeling
Ripped out my heart and left it bleeding

Do you feel happier yet?
D’you say some things you regret?
Cos I’m feeling better alone
But I know I know I know

You messed me up yeah real bad
Can’t take those stabs in the back
I know I’m better than that
But I’m sure I’m sure
I’m in over my head

You called it love
But it never had that feeling
Ripped out my heart and left it bleeding
Empty talk but it never had no meaning
Stuck here just staring at the ceiling
Now it’s overdue
Cos I’m so over you
Call me blind but it was the last time
Cos all your lies they just caught up with you

And all those secrets I told
You used to get your control
So hot and then you’re so cold
It’s too late too late
I’m in over my head

You called it love
But it never had that feeling
Ripped out my heart and left it bleeding
Empty talk but it never had no meaning
Stuck here just staring at the ceiling
Now it’s overdue
Cos I’m so over you
Call me blind but it was the last time
Cos all your lies they just caught up with you

All the years that went by
Kept me in the dark why?
I’ll forgive but I won’t forget
Yeah we all make mistakes
But yours I just can’t shake
You’re now a little too late

You called it love
But it never had that feeling
Ripped out my heart and left it bleeding
Empty talk but it never had no meaning
Stuck here just staring at the ceiling
Now it’s overdue
Cos I’m so over you
Call me blind but it was the last time
Cos all your lies they just caught up with you

Pale Waves' "Gravity" is a mesmerizing track from their album "Smitten." This song explores themes of love and emotional connection, wrapped in the band's distinctive indie pop sound. With its captivating melody and heartfelt lyrics, "Gravity" stands out as a highlight in their collection.

Lyrics:
I like to imagine
Me and her in the garden
As the flowers start to bloom
She’s living in my mind
Not knowing what she’ll find
But she stays and stays
All night all day

I’m a little bit in over my head
Said I wouldn’t let her but instead

She’s pulling me like gravity
Everywhere she goes
Am I in too deep
Or outta my reach
Little does she know
She keeps pulling me
Keeps pulling me like gravity

We go well together
But I couldn’t let her
Know she’s all I think about
You see she loves Jesus
So that always stopped us
So I tried to pray but nothing changed

I’m a little bit in over my head
Said I wouldn’t let her but instead

She’s pulling me like gravity
Everywhere she goes
Am I in too deep
Or outta my reach
Little does she know
She keeps pulling me, keeps pulling me
Oh the effect that she has on me
She’s pulling me like gravity

I’ll go anywhere she wants
I’ll be anything anyone
Talking too much to Mary
Oh and now she wants ordinary

She’s pulling me like gravity
Everywhere she goes
Am I in too deep
Or outta my reach
Little does she know
She keeps pulling me, keeps pulling me
Oh the affect that she has on me
She’s pulling me like gravity

Lyrics:
This city depresses me
But you try to be everything I need

We sat on the corner kissing each other
Felt like I could finally see in colour

I was 18 when I met you
Poured my heart out, spilt all my truth
I finally felt like I could feel for the first time
When I met you

Everybody passed us by
With the same conversation time after time

I could stay by your side all night
Baby, it's just you and me, and that's fine

I was 18 when I met you
Poured my heart out, spilt all my truth
I finally felt like I could feel for the first time
When I met you

I was 18 when I met you
Poured my heart out, spilt all my truth
I finally felt like I could feel for the first time

I was 18 when I met you
Poured my heart out, spilt all my truth
I finally felt like I could feel for the first time
When I met you

Pale Waves' "Glasgow" is a captivating track from their album "Smitten," showcasing the band's signature blend of indie pop and emotive lyrics. With its infectious melody and heartfelt themes, this song resonates with listeners, making it a standout in their discography.

Lyrics:
Oh no it didn’t take much convincing
Cause I was doing more feeling than thinking
And I just met your brother
The start of the summer
He warned me about you
We drank in the pouring rain
One glass of wine and somehow you changed

When I left you Glasgow
I remember crying all the way home
Yeah I had to go and get myself out of there
Oh cause there was nothing left, nothing left
For us to repair

I love the city cos it’s all or nothing
It’s always cold but it’s oh so loving
You also were born that way
That’s the trouble you face
You were losing your balance
And I had to run away
And I wondered if it was a mistake

When I left you Glasgow
I remember crying all the way home
Yeah I had to go and get myself out of there
Oh cause there was nothing left, nothing left
For us to repair

You might have wondered why public administrations don't all use Linux, like the Police, the tax services, the health services, and all other government related agencies. It's completely free of charge, really customizable, secure and stable. There shouldn't be any kind of competition, right? Well, turns out there might be a bunch of barriers to entry, so let's see why our governments don't use our favorite OS.

There is a heavy lobby in place for Microsoft and their solutions. These guys are entrenched in virtually every market, they have money, influence.

But that's not the only reason why most countries do NOT run on open source software and Linux.

Training

The second main obstacle is training. As simple as Linux desktops have become, they will still be unfamiliar to regular users that have been trained on Windows since they were in school. You can replicate a windows, or mac os layout, and that would ease the transition, but there are still major differences in how the file system is laid out, how settings are displayed, what settings you can access, and how the system behaves.

Then there's the app issues. Most governments and administrations run on windows + office. Some have departments that use Adobe products. All of these are not available on Linux, so you also have to train your people to use new applications.

Hidden costs

On top of these training costs, you also have some hidden ones. Linux might have gotten way better at hardware support, but it's still not perfect. Some hardware doesn't have good drivers, printers and printer / scanner combos can still be an issue for example, and these are extremely costly devices.

An administration might have to replace tons of hardware, computers and peripherals to make the switch.

There's also the issue of custom software that administrations might use: these are usually old pieces of software that were designed to run on Windows XP on in IE with ActiveX controls. These don't run on Linux natively. They might run with Wine, or they might have to be ported.

These hidden costs are a barrier to moving to Linux and open source apps, and can even make the migration completely fail if they're not identified at the start.

Lack of knowledge

There is also a huge lack of knowledge about Linux in general in public administrations. Few people know that Linux exist, or that it can even run on a desktop and isn't limited to servers.

The people that make these kind of decisions, like moving to Windows 10 instead of Windows 8, or using Office instead of something else, they are generally not the most tech savvy persons in existence, that's not their jobs, they're managers, directors.

So Linux is probably way under the radar for them.

Wrong choices

But, there have been experiments with Linux. Some administrations have moved to Linux based OSes, like the city of Munich, which moved to Linux, then back to Windows, then back to Linux again.
China uses their own distro on a lot of government computers, the French gendarmerie uses Linux since Vista came out, and schools in Iceland have moved to Ubuntu Linux in the past.

Some of these experiments have failed though, and I think there is a simple reason for that. Well, 2 reasons.

The first one is probably poor execution. If you just replace the OS with Linux, and MS Office with LibreOffice and Evolution, without training, without thinking how to move people over and train them, of course it's going to fail, people are going to complain, and 5 years later, you're going back to windows.

There is also the fact that most administrations decided to move to a custom linux distro. Munich moved to LiMux, based on Debian. The city of Vienna moved to Wienux, based on Debian. Russia and China use their own Linux distros.

I personally think the right solution is to use something that's available out of the box, like ubuntu, openSUSE, or red hat. Something that has commercial support, and that will still cost way less than Windows, and something where you don't have to manage updating the distro and then deploying it.

"Change" by Pale Waves is an emotive pop-rock track that explores themes of self-acceptance and the struggles of navigating personal identity. Released in 2018, this song features catchy hooks and heartfelt lyrics, showcasing the band's signature sound and resonating with listeners who appreciate its authenticity and vulnerability.

Lyrics:
Lyrics:
I remember it like it was yesterday
My mother didn’t prepare me for this heartache
Why did everything suddenly just change
We were laying naked the other day

Now you act like I’m nobody
But you still wanna go down on me
And I know I’m a fool to believe

I keep wishing you would change
It’s no surprise you’re still the same
I wish I’d never seen your face
But hey
You’ve hurt me a thousand times before
But I'm missing you right now so do it once more

I’m being so irrational
Don’t know what to do
Just trying my best to get over you
I sat in the shower couldn’t leave for a few hours
Cos I let you back in
Now I’m crawling out my skin

Now you act like I’m nobody
But you still wanna go down on me
And I know I’m a fool to believe

I keep wishing you would change (change)
It’s no surprise you’re still the same (same)
I wish I’d never seen your face
But hey
You’ve hurt me a thousand times before
But I’m missing you right now so do it once more

I keep running around in circles
But you stay the same
My expectation keeps me hurting
I shouldn’t feel this way

Just wishing you would change (change)
It’s no surprise you’re still the same (same)
I wish I’d never seen your face
But hey
You’ve hurt me a thousand times before
But I'm missing you right now so do it once more

Lyrics:
We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore

We've got the right to choose, and
There ain't no way we'll lose it
This is our life, this is our song
We'll fight the powers that be, just
Don't pick on our destiny, 'cause
You don't know us, you don't belong

We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore

Oh, you're so condescending
Your call is never ending
We don't want nothin', not a thing from you
Your life is trite and jaded
Boring and confiscated
If that's your best, your best won't do

Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
We're right (yeah)
We're free (yeah)
We'll fight (yeah)
You'll see (yeah)

Whoa-whoa, we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore

We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore
No way!

Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
We're right (yeah)
We're free (yeah)
We'll fight (yeah)
You'll see (yeah)

We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore

We're not gonna take it (no!)
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore (just you try and make us)

We're not gonna take it (come on!)
No, we ain't gonna take it (you're all worthless and weak)
We're not gonna take it anymore (now drop and give me 20)

We're not gonna take it (a pledge pin)
No, we ain't gonna take it (on your uniform)
We're not gonna take it anymore
