  • Teachers in England will have to tell parents if children question their gender

    Jump

  • If your reading comprehension is really that bad, it might explain the low quality of your opinions. You should probably try working on it instead of embarrassing yourself in public.

  • Teachers in England will have to tell parents if children question their gender

    Jump

  • The kinds of things that some parents bully, punish, disown and/or murder their children for should very much be hidden from them if the child chooses to hide it. It's no one else's business and, if the child has not yet told them themselves, breaking their confidence is an attempt to ruin their life and quite possibly end it.

    This is stochastic terrorism from this fascist government, desperate for any distraction at all from their kleptocratic ways.

  • ‘Where is the money?’ US workers left unpaid after federal contractor wage theft

    Jump

  • Lots of lovely laws, none of them enforced. Liberals* are really very bad** at this game.

    *in the political science meaning of the word, not the US colloquial meaning

    **or good, depending on your perspective and/or the sincerity of their declared intent

  • Meet Microsoft Office’s new default font: Aptos

    Jump

  • It's like a Calibri-fied version of Trebuchet. You can actually tell the difference between I and l without changing the font to check. It's an improvement.

  • Locked

    What are tankies? What does sea-lioning mean?

    Jump

  • applied by centre left and liberals

    It's a term that originates with the left. Specifically, those who broke with the USSR over imperialist invasions, referring to those who did not. More broadly, it refers to the authoritarian left (as opposed to the anarchist left).

  • Could the Conservatives lose five by-elections?

    Jump

  • There is no family silver left, Thatcher and Blair sold it all. The only thing they can do is throw as much money as possible at rich people in the time they have left, secure in the knowledge that Starmer's Labour will keep their seats warm without doing anything at all to stop the theft.

  • Deleting your Threads profile will also kill your Instagram account

    Jump

  • They probably will realise that 10 million is less than 1% of 1.6bn and that they can safely ignore people making shit up.

  • Deleting your Threads profile will also kill your Instagram account

    Jump

  • That's not true. Instagram has 1.6bn users and all can use their Instagram logins to sign in to Threads. The roughly 1% who have signed up already have chosen to activate Threads, it's not done automatically.

  • Outlook suddenly started opening links in Edge, disregarding my default browser settings

    Jump

  • Should political extremism, far-left or far-right, be an allowed part of Lemmy's Fediverse?

    Jump

  • I have met enough far-left authoritarians who are openly racist, anti-lgbtq, and who advocated for violence against people solely based on their family background that I don’t think the extreme right has a monopoly on hate.

    Yeah, they're banned from lemmygrad. Rule 5:

    1. No capitalist apologia / anti-communism.

    1. No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

    1. Be respectful. This is a safe space where all comrades should feel welcome, this includes a warning against uncritical sectarianism.

    1. No porn or sexually explicit content (even if marked NSFW).

    1. No right-deviationists (patsocs, nazbols, strasserists, duginists, etc).

  • Moto Razr+ (2023) vs. Motorola Edge+ (2023): To fold, or not to fold, that is the question

    Jump

  • Fold, for sure. Actually pocketable, and secure once pocketed.

  • Do you think a Fold style phone with an eInk display on the outside would work well?

    Jump

  • I have an e-ink tablet that runs Android. Copes with most apps and can deliver stuttery video.

    E-Ink can't be far off replacing glass screens (at least as an option) because the benefits for battery life are substantial. But I'd think it would replace them rather than be in addition to. A phone with screens on both sides would be so fragile.

    Jump

  • There is a really, really big difference between "we want to kill you" and "we do not want to be killed by you".

    Don't tolerate fascists. However comfortable that centrist illusion is, you are signing your own death warrant and that of millions of others (most of whom will suffer the consequences of your actions long before they get around to the people who feel safe enough to argue that fascists must be tolerated).

  • Worldwide survey kills the myth of ‘Man the Hunter’

    Jump

  • An influential 1966 symposium at the University of Chicago reinforced this idea. Attended by 70 men and five women...

    Oh.

  • No zoo does this. She was used for animal testing.

  • French police kill teen who refused traffic stop

    Jump

  • This is the mantra of lemmy.ml.

    Tell us, how are russian and chinese cops?

    It's more of an anarchist thing, to be fair.

    They're bastards, obv. Like it says in the OP.

  • OceanGate CEO Bragged About Using Expired Carbon Fiber to Build Doomed Sub

  • but maybe not something you want to put your life on the line over.

    To be fair, their hubris usually only kills poor people so, progress?
