  • 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.

    Jump

  • Well he's already said he'll support anti-imigration policies.

  • Burnham to back Shabana Mahmood’s immigration changes, allies say

    Jump

  • Guess the L in Labour stands for taking massive Ls

  • TIL: It is 2026 and you still can not run Snaps in strict mode on Debian-based systems

    Jump

  • Because snaps is a Ubuntu thing, and not particularly widely used on Debian.

    #rank name inst vote old recent no-files

    2 util-linux 4000213 2110588 1172784 345252 371589

    2258 snapd 19307 17314 846 1033 114

    I actually don't understand what use case snapd on Debian covers better than docker on Debian or snapd on ubuntu

  • More than 60 Labour MPs call for review of UK voting system

    Jump

  • That's still 4 distinct parties + your party, and that's under a system that favours 2 parties and doesn't allow for much nuance between or with the parties.

    STV would:

    • Allow people to vote for who they want
    • Allow parties to differentiate themselves behind a simple left/right spectrum
    • Allow people to vote for different factions within a party
    • Not punish independents

    All of which would help differentiate the parties, which even by your own description are not the same unless you don't think Blairism has had any effect on the Labour party.

  • We have lots of small parties but they’re all essentially one of the two big parties under a different name.

    Not only is this wrong, the libdems & greens are different parties to Labour, but it's also treating a symptom of having FPTP as some immutable attribute, when the political landscape is shaped by the voting system.

    Also STV is particularly well suited to restoring trust in democracy when there is a lack of trust in the establishment parties as it gives voters a direct say in their MPs rather than being controlled by the party as they are with list based PR or effectively are with FPTP.

  • This might be a bit harsh but, there isn't time to setup a body to investigate the change, if Labour what to avoid a reform landslide they they need to just dust off the Jenkins report or better yet adopt STV.

  • South Korea court orders Samsung union strike to not impact chip volume

    Jump

  • We just need a balance in society … let all the rich people get their rocks off and try to make as much money as possible

    Why?

    I’m not talking about a socialist or communist hellscape where society is governed or managed by an powerful manager class

    What about learning what a socialist society would actually be and ignoring capitalist & soviet propoganda that conflated the USSR/CCP with socialism.

    How about a society in which workers control their workplaces via unions and cooperatives? That's what a socialist society would actually be.

  • Samsung meeting transcripts show memory workers offered incredible 607% bonus worth $477,000, while logic chip staff get as little as 50%

    Jump

  • Or propoganda to remind people to strike!

  • Bipartisan Bill Would Impose New Annual Fee on Electric Vehicles [United States]

    Jump

  • Spend far less on maintenance.

  • X has placed new daily post limits on unverified accounts

    Jump

  • TBF some local media is still on there, the only guy who covers city council meetings for Oakland (nearly 1/2 a million people), and he does it by live tweating the whole meeting, easily over 50 a day.

  • Gonna be straight forward, how is Donald Trump not considered a Global/Donestic Terrorist?

    Jump

  • First Apple M5 memory exploit discovered using Anthropic AI, gives root access on MacOS

    Jump

  • LLMs aren't useless just that their capabilities are vastly overstated.

    Finding patterns in code is what they are good at, what's annoying with Mythos is they are scanning code that hasn't really seen scrutiny and claiming it's groundbreaking because it's finding stuff.

  • Gonna be straight forward, how is Donald Trump not considered a Global/Donestic Terrorist?

    Jump

  • But last president atleast were attacked or provoked by recognized threat

    Not to defend Trump but that's not true. US has been starting illegal wars of aggression for it's entire existence.

    The Iraq war was "justified" largely for the same reason the Iran war is being.
