  • Labour MPs ‘Will Defect to Greens’ If Andy Burnham Loses Leadership Bid

    Jump

  • why would someone in the ruling party actually defect at this stage, with 3 years until the next GE

    1. Its upto 3 years so an election could be called much sooner.
    2. If the politician actually has values and they want to work in a party that aligns with those values
    3. If an MP just saw Labour's vote get crushed in local elections jumping ship now might keep them their seat.
    4. (Edit) Being in the ruling party doesn't get you shit if you aren't one of the ones that sets the direction of that party.

    why would the greens accept the defection

    Greens are struggling to find good candidates, they keep having to step down not because of bad politics but because they've done some bad posts or similar. Defectors have been in the public eye for a while and so are likely scandal free.

    There's also a lot of knowledge that you get about how to/how not to run a parliamentary party when you have more than 1 MP in parliament.

    What issues are they facing?

  • I mean it's getting shitter but is it getting shitter faster or am I just regaining my sense of smell?

  • I didn't even imply violence, a human even reviewed it and reversed the ban, then 5 minutes later a bot permanently banned me 🤷‍♂️

  • Is it just me or does it seem Google is either AI filled or becoming obsolete? Is there an up and comer that can be what Google used to be? Or are we stuck oogling stuff forever?

    Jump

  • Google has been getting worse since before AI, it's because it's advantage stemmed from indexing the public web, but as the web turned into a half a dozen walled gardens it lost that edge.

    It's losing customers to AI so it's trying to clone their features, pretty, but it's been trying this with just regurgitating Wikipedia for a while.

    I don't know for sure but I suspect internally the incompetent middle management layer are pushing AI usage as a metric and forcing engineers to ruin their best product because management don't know the value of Google (because they are by and large morons who use AI).

    The AI usage can be avoided with other search engines but the walled garden problem is here to stay, on a closed Internet search is always going to suck.

  • Anti-AI fedi pact?

  • AI-generated images and memes?

    Yes

    Bots posting AI-generated posts?

    Definitely

    Mods using machine-learning to search for posts containing slurs or racist attacks?

    You don't need machine learning to find strings

  • Is it possible to expose nextcloud securely over a vps with no vpn.

    Jump

  • Define securely.

    I've run my nextcloud online for a few years with no incidents, it's behind Apache, I keep it up to date, I have a bit of extra hardening (but none of it really hardens nextcloud itself it would just make running exploits on my server more visible).

    It doesn't really add security in the traditional sense but for a personal server logging outbound traffic and having it email me when something non standard initiates a connection also gives me an added sense of security.

    Jump

  • There is an element of minimum wage increasing, increasing prices because now there are more people that can afford to pay for things.

    But yes it isn't because costs go up, and it really only applies to things people on minimum wage can afford and it's always less than the increase in wages.

  • What does that number meaningful represent as DeepSeek doing well?

    They can afford to lose more money on this? They have lower operating costs? They have a better way to make money of their users?

    It could indicate any/all/none of theses

  • But the numbers are fake, so it really doesn't mean much to reduce a fake number by 75%, it isn't an indicator that DeepSeek is beating anyone at anything.

  • Can we possibly create our personal email ?

    Jump

  • Main problems with hosting your own mailserver:

    • Spam protection is not as good as with hosted options because you just don't have the same scale of data
    • Mail deliverability issues - Generally once you have setup everything (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) on a dedicated IP that is not from a residential ISP, it stays working but sometimes you find out that say live.com/hotmail simply won't accept your mail and there is nothing you can do.

    I do it, it's not a complicated setup, I don't even know what mailserver I used whatever Debian recommended (exim or postfix) , dovecot for Server->Recpient. I am a little more paranoid about my server than I would be otherwise (outbound firewall, apparmor profiles for anything that is listening, monit to alert on high CPU usage (anti spam sometimes goes crazy), but not anything that is too much effort (e.g I haven't gone full hog with SELINUX, etc)

  • Andy Burnham to back electoral reform if he becomes prime minister

    Jump

  • It's almost like economic and social issues are linked by some mechanism, and a cultural shift to the right is incompatible with the economic empowerment of the working class.

    Or something.
