  • Goodbye device ownership, and the last vestiges of free speech will die with this bill as well.

  • They storm the capital building.

    There's plenty of resistance and progressive movements locally and nationally - you just tend not to hear about them unless you're the sort of person who gets involved

  • With jobs, they get better data. I give fake names, DOB, addresses etc to everything I have to sign up for... except for government stuff, and job applications

    Jump

  • It's an unbroadcast outtake that someone in BBC production released on social media a few years back, and to everyone's suprise went viral. There's twitter/blusky bots dedicated to reposting it. Niche, but with a dedicated fanbase!

  • "Trippy" Reality

    Jump

  • Its interesting. We can both look at a landscape and agree there's two mountains in the distance and a forest in front, and can agree on a thousand further details like if the mountains are barren or snow-topped. But only when it comes to colour can we doubt whether what the other person sees is what we see. To be fair, the artist Monet did that experiment on himself. Painted a scene with one eye open and the next day with the other. Details are pretty much the same, but the spectrum is pretty different

  • "Trippy" Reality

    Jump

  • At least it is in terms of a spectrum. Everybody finds orange text on a red background uncomfortable to read. So there are plenty of shared perception categories at least

  • Dudes will date a girl for 6+ years and have something like this as her contact photo

    Jump

  • Yeab I've never set a contact photo in my life, with one exception: my sister hated a photo I'd put on Facebook so much she demanded I take it down (not just untag her). That pic is now my contact photo for her. It is awful.

  • Why aren't we evolved to eat grass?

    Jump

  • Yeah the grass to milk, meat and hide pipeline is a great one

  • Any chemistry we could perform to make it more viable? E.g. cook it with alcohol?

  • Time has not been kind to VHS: As tech turns 50, preservationists race to save material stored on vanishing format. Methods include … baking?

    Jump

  • By modern standards, VHS has plenty of advantages too. A corrupt portion of a computer file often means it won't play at all, while a tape will just play apart from that section. Audio and Video are always in sync with a tape - digital files are often out by up to a couple of seconds. A tape is often more robust than a hard disk or a DVD too.

    The only downsides of VHS that immediately spring to mind are quality (not that that mattered at the time - it was and is still good enough) physical space (not that I ever ran out of room) and speed of skipping to particular times, and speed of backup. Oh... and lack of togglable subtitles too (not that digital always has those either)

    The UK Now Arrests More People for Online Speech Than Russia and China

    Jump

  • Making threats of violence does tend to be frowned upon

  • Reddit banned Paul McCartney over phone-free concert photos post in their subreddit

    Jump

  • Oh yeah, fascism/vice-signalling definitely becoming more prominent here too, though mostly because the media makes them prominent. They tend not to show the "hope not hate" or "march against racism" rallies. A bit too hopeful

    Sadly, socialism-lite is the nearest thing that tends to come up. Like "we can keep capitalism and billionaires, but a bit less" rather than stopping it

  • Palantir’s UK boss criticises ‘ideological’ groups as ministers move to scrap NHS contract

    Jump

  • Ah, bugger. Got the two muddled

  • Reddit banned Paul McCartney over phone-free concert photos post in their subreddit

    Jump

  • You know McCartney is British, right? Quite famously so?

  • Palantir’s UK boss criticises ‘ideological’ groups as ministers move to scrap NHS contract

    Jump

  • Louis Mosely, the UK boss, is Oswald Mosely's grandson. Y'know, the famous British fascist who wrote the Rivers Of Blood speech. One wonders how far the apple has fallen from that particular tree
