  • Wes Streeting launches scathing attack on Starmer - and calls for UK to rejoin EU

    Jump

  • Rejoining is going to be a long process, if we are allowed at all, and it will just make the brexit skisim permanent and help Reform.

    Jump

  • Guy who helped sabotage Corbyn by being too pro-EU at the wrong time wants to sink Starmer too.

    Starmer should go and they should change the rules to let Burnham lead.

    It's probably too soon to rejoin the EU though, UK needs get it's shit together or be dissolved first

  • Cisco announces record revenue and 4,000 layoffs in the same day

    Jump

  • What countries? This is capitalism baby, only way to stop it is to have a union strong enough to fuck Up that record profit if the CEO even jokes a out layoffs.

  • Turns out, nobody wants a data center in their backyard

    Jump

  • Honestly that doesn't really need a datacenter, a single solar panel and a low power computer or couple of PIs.

    I think the scale of these AI datacenter build out is part of the problem, that level of compute is really only useful for AI and Ai-adjacent loads like mass surveillance!

  • Nuclear Power Plants Far More Popular Than AI Data Centers For Local Areas

  • some of which won’t be renewable.

    Why not?

    We currently have electricity that works without a global unified power grid, yet you keep saying that for renewables to work we need one, why?

  • Why not?

    We have batteries, geothermal, hydro & wind.

    There are already countries that are 100% renewable, without a global grid.

    CountryRenewable %Rest of mix
    Bhutan~100%Negligible fossil backup; nearly all hydro — RatedPower
    Albania~100%Small fossil gas imports during drought years; solar growing to 9% of capacity — RatedPower
    Paraguay~100%Negligible; exports large surplus hydro to Brazil & Argentina — RatedPower
    Iceland~99%~1% oil/gas peaking; geothermal + hydro dominant — Our World in Data
    Costa Rica~99%~1% diesel backup generation — Our World in Data
    Nepal~99%~1% fossil fuel; imports some coal-based power from India during dry season — RatedPower
    Norway~98%~1% fossil gas, ~1% other; minor imports during low-hydro periods — Our World in Data

  • Otherwise it’s going to be everyone holding out for fusion to magically get its ass into gear.

    Or y'know using renewable, China built/claims to have built 430 GW of renewables in 2025, solar can be deployed nearly anywhere and unlike SMR doesn't produce nuclear waste that you somehow have to safely despose of from your remote off grid location

    Rimu Mass Bans Users

  • Eventually every social media platform becomes the same kind of environment. Unfortunately.

    Reddit was a step backwards from slashdot style moderation, really seams like everywhere is either fully public meaningless up votes or fully algorithmic personalized prioritization and nobody is even interested in figuring out how to so comment ranking that scales up to a large userbase.

  • In a Big Move to Linux Security, Debian Makes Reproducible Builds Mandatory

    Jump

  • A bit overdue, but as a Debian user who doesn't contribute back, not really my place to criticize.

  • Nuclear Power Plants Far More Popular Than AI Data Centers For Local Areas

    Jump

  • It's too late for Nuclear the drawbacks just don't outweigh the benefits anymore, we should have gone nuclear 50 years ago, now it makes sense to go straight to renewables.

    I'm not against nuclear but it just doesn't make sense to build new nuclear China doesn't have any of the excuses pro-nuclear blame (NIMBYs/OSHA/etc) yet they aren't investing in nuclear.

  • Competition Reform Bill

    Delivers reforms to the Competition and Markets Authority to make competition investigations faster and more predictable reducing burdens on business and ensuring consumers benefit sooner.

    Regulating for Growth Bill

    Will bring the UK’s regulatory system fit for the future by strengthening the Growth Duty and creating “Sandbox Power” which will allow businesses to test cutting-edge technologies safely, prove what works and scale up faster.

    Enhancing Financial Services Bill

    Will modernise how the sector is regulated, enabling it to grow and lend more to businesses. It will make consumer protections fit for the digital age. It will ensure high standards of regulation and oversight.

    Highways (Financing) Bill

    Will introduce a new funding model to unlock greater levels of private capital investment in road infrastructure. This will entail a licence regime, an independent regulator and backstop measures to protect publicly used assets.

    What do these mean?

    Social Housing Renewal Bill

    This bill will extend the eligibility criteria for ‘right to buy’ to ten years for existing properties and 35 years for new-build social housing. It will increase protections for tenants who are victims of domestic abuse.

    Isn't right to buy bad, why not end it!?

    Digital Access to Services Bill

    Will introduce a non-mandatory free-to-access digital ID that will provide a secure proof of identity across a range of government services.

    Fuck off neo-blair

    Courts Modernisation Bill

    Removes the right of defendants to elect for a Crown Court (i.e. trial by Jury) in cases that can be heard in either a Crown or Magistrate’s Court and extends Magistrate’s Court’s sentencing powers. Replaces the automatic right to appeal against a conviction in Magistrates Court with a permission stage. Introduces new modes of trial by judge alone for complex and lengthy fraud cases. It will bring forward measures to prevent victims of sexual offences being unfairly undermined in the courtroom and clarify the support available to them. It will repeal the presumption of parental involvement to ensure children’s best interests are at the heart of decision-making.

    This sounds VERY FUCKING BAD!

    Immigration and Asylum Bill

    The bill will make it easier for the government to revoke refugee status, take further steps to clamp down on small boat crossings and restrict taxpayer support to asylum seekers.

    Also terrible, just provide somewhere safe for asylum seekers to stay and stop blocking them from working, the current system is shit don't make it worse

  • US and Russia fuelling separatist debate in Canada, new report says

    Jump

  • While several opposition political parties had called for a full-scale judicial inquiry into the allegations, Johnston recommended against this, stating that the intelligence information is considered "top secret" and could not be discussed in a fully-open inquiry. Johnston intended to continue his inquiry with public hearings and a final report in October 2023, but instead resigned as the special rapporteur on June 9.

    This really sounds like a lot of hype for something not that big, the 2nd page mentions a 250k donation, thats a pretty small figure when the elections cost 600m
