  • From an outsider perspective, the Dems may be hopeless neoliberals, but isn't it more:

    R: hehe sure we will hehehe

    D: here's a set of policies that should improve things

    Voters: too complicated, just say yes.

  • Romania set for right-wing runoff after PM eliminated
  • And there goes another one

    Do we literally have to wait for it to escalate to world war before people remember that actually right-wing politics makes things worse for the vast majority of people that vote for it?

    I've always thought it was stupid, but maybe the accelerationists were right....

  • Trump’s eldest son emerges as key voice influencing cabinet picks – report
  • Well we did Brexit in the UK, currently holding the record for longest lasting self-inflicted fuck-up. Hell it's been long enough that even some of the right wing loons are starting to realise that it might not have been the sunshine and roses they were promised.

    However I'm under no illusions that a another 4 years of trump could easily make that look rational by comparison.

  • 'Democrat propaganda': Marjorie Taylor Greene plans to team up with Musk to defund NPR
  • My friend, this is unfortunately the reality of all "left" press of any high volume.

    We have the Guardian in the UK which is regarded as the lefty paper by many people here, but if you look at the modern editorial slant, particularly around political coverage and you'll find it's very much a centrist paper and occasionally a bit centre-right. They get the odd left-winger in for opinion pieces from time to time to keep up the charade, but you can tell if the LibDems had a chance in hell of being elected, the paper would drop all support for Labour in a heartbeat.

    Actual left wing press at any large scale is not permitted to exist by the billionaire classes. If one gets too big, it'll be acquired and the slant will shift before long. Class consciousness is bad for business

  • Sheep problems
  • It's a ligature, it's an intentional thing to make it easier to read funnily enough. More and more fonts are supporting them these days so you're gonna see more of them.

    There are some common ones in these words, but some fonts support even more: Official, finger, flight, affluent

  • YouTube, Wikipedia, and Archive.org are the modern day library of Alexandria
  • The problem with YouTube is the sheer amount of storage required. Just going by the 10 Exabyte figure mentioned elsewhere in the thread, there are about 25,000 fediverse servers across all services in total IIRC, so even if you evenly split that 10EB across all of them, they would still need 400TB each just to cover what we have today.

    Famously YouTube needs a petabyte of fresh storage every day, so each of those servers would need to be able to accept an additional 40GB a day.

    Realistically though, any kind of decentralised archive wouldn't start with 25,000 servers, so the operational needs are going to be significantly higher in reality

  • The modern knight
  • I guess a thin linen sheet between the two would alleviate the pinching without negating the cooling effects

    I imagine any smell would disappear after a short while, cutlery doesn't smell of metal

  • Uefa warns England could be banned from Euro 2028 over regulator concerns - BBC Sport

    www.bbc.co.uk Uefa warns England could be banned from Euro 2028 over regulator concerns

    Uefa warns ministers that England could be excluded from Euro 2028 over "concerns" that an independent football regulator could mean "government interference".

    Uefa warns England could be banned from Euro 2028 over regulator concerns

    > Uefa has warned ministers that England could be excluded from the European Championship it is co-hosting in 2028 over "concerns" that a planned independent football regulator could lead to "government interference" in the sport.

    > A bill to establish a body to oversee the top five tiers of the men's game in England was reintroduced in July.

    > The UK government has said the football watchdog will "protect clubs" by "ensuring their financial sustainability".

    > But in a letter sent to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and seen by BBC Sport, Uefa general secretary Theodore Theodoridis wrote: "We do have concerns remaining... as normally football regulation should be managed by the national federation.

    toast.ooo Canvas 2024 is live! - toast.ooo

    Rocky start, but we’re here! also making this almost an hour late due to the rocky start # What’s Canvas? Canvas is a collaborative pixel canvas similar to Reddit’s r/place, except it is open to (almost) the entire Fediverse! The event is going on from July 12th 4am UTC to July 15th @ 4am UTC (72 ho...

    Why aren't there adult only flights?

    Honestly, I will never wrap my head around how people can happily bring infants on any flight where you can expect people to try and sleep, it's incredibly lucky if they don't spend some of it screaming their heads off—I would be mortified if my choices were preventing hundreds of people from sleeping. But I'm not going to rant too hard about that.

    Why on earth hasn't any airline started marketing adult-only flights?

    It seems like a complete no brainer to me, I would choose it every time and pay extra for it.

    Disclaimer: I may or may not be on a 36h day with only an hour of sleep right now

    Wasps: One Year On. Getting There

    www.wasps.co.uk Club Announcements

    It has been 12 months since the administration event that saw WASPS relegated from the RFU - and that was the day that we planned our return. You will know our journey through the fit and proper process of the RFU and the difficulties we faced on funding and acceptance to enter the Championship.

    As someone who's been a wasps fan for decades, this is finally some positive news after what has felt like a very long silence!

    Now I wonder where the ground they mention is going to be

    What's everyone played this week?

    I've just started Return to the Obra Dinn, so far really liking the art style and the main game mechanics. I'm interested to see how the story unfolds as it seems to be taking a "memento" style reverse chronological approach to telling it.

    Also still playing Halls of Torment as ever since Vampire Survivors, one of these top down roguelite shoot-em-up games has been in my rotation.

    Oh and I nearly forgot, also started pizza tower, but only dipped my toe into that one so far. Really enjoy the art and platforming mechanics so far.

    Which is the best entry in the series?

    Let's kick off some slightly low effort content here:

    Which is your favourite game in the series?

    For me it will always be between Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert.

    I think the story of TD is what pulled me into the series in the first place, and RA on Westwood online is what cemented me as a fan

    Can't subscribe to a lemmit.online community

    Hey, I've been trying to subscribe to !audioproductiondeals@lemmit.online for a couple of days now and know the drill about searching it first and waiting for it to sync, but it doesn't seem to be doing the job.

    It looks like other lemmit.online communities seem to work fine, but this one seems to stubbornly refuse to show up.

    Is there something I'm missing here?

    Simple old Lemmy community bar customisation (updated again)

    UPDATES BELOW

    So I browse on the desktop using the mlmym/old.lemmy client (e.g. http://old.lemmy.world) because old habits die hard.

    One of the many things I found myself missing from RES & Reddit was the ability to customise the community bar at the top of the page to contain some links to my favourite communities. I had a spare minute this morning to throw together a userscript for just that:

    Here's a pastebin with the script. Create a new userscript in tampermonkey (or whatever userscript plugin you use), drop the code in, change the array of communities at the top to be the ones you want prepending to the list, and you should be good.

    Make sure to add the server suffix to any communities from other instances and if you want to use this on another instance other than lemmy.world, just change the match rule in the userscript header comment.

    I didn't host on greasyfork as I'm probably not going to make any further changes, and I'd need to come up with something a bit more sophisticated than an array of communities. I'll update this post if I ever change my mind on that

    Update

    So I guess I wasn't happy with leaving it alone:

    Here it is on greasyfork https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/474756-lemmy-mlmym-community-bar-customisation

    I added localStorage and a simple config GUI to configure the list of favourites now, no reordering yet (without just removing and re-adding in a different order), but I imagine I'll end up adding that in time

    Update 2

    And another update:

    I've just updated GreasyFork with 0.3

    • Added reordering
    • Added background fade and background click to close
    • Added favourite/unfavourite button to the community sidebar

    We did it!
