  • Voice notes are massive in some countries but not the UK - here's why

    Jump

  • Because they're cringe and impractical?

    You have to speak them out loud and listen to them out loud (or with headphones), therefore bothering everyone around you.

  • Migrating from DigitalOcean to Hetzner: From $1,432 to $233/month With Zero Downtime

    Jump

  • Yeah just went to check and the price in my area is 22-28p/kWh, can confirm.

    It's very fucked over here.

  • Next week’s disability cuts will make people destitute – and you might not understand how bad they are until it’s too late | Frances Ryan

  • It really is disgusting. Please note all MPs who voted for this bill and make sure they never receive your vote again.

  • Dozens of MPs oppose Streeting’s new power to override public body responsible for judging the cost-effectiveness of medicines

    Jump

  • It's no longer enough to just target trans people, Wes Streeting also has to profiteer from the NHS too.

  • Migrating from DigitalOcean to Hetzner: From $1,432 to $233/month With Zero Downtime

    Jump

  • I don't own a house yet, like most people in the UK under 40, but when I do I will definitely consider it.

  • New homeless village offers 'brilliant solution' that organisers want to bring to a town near you

    Jump

  • In the UK it is the council's responsibility to house you if you cannot afford a home.

    I know someone who was homeless there and they didn't spend any time on the street. However, that might not reflect everyone's experience. Its quite possible many places are at capacity.

    There is a also a few fairly vicious thing councils can do. If you are at any point rude to staff they can deprive you of shelter, and if you refuse to be moved to inaccessible accommodation (say if you are a wheelchair user) they can mark you as "intentionally homeless" and then also refuse you shelter. It's then your job to prove in court that they acted incorrectly, and good luck doing that when you don't even have enough money to live, the court wait times are months long and there's barely any lawyers.

  • So jealous. My energy bill is like £130/m and £80 of that is electricity.

  • GPS darts could prevent high-speed chases. But CT lawmakers are putting the brakes on them

    Jump

  • Well, tracking darts would be better than flock cameras that always track everyone. It would require action by the police that they would have to justify, rather than all data being hoovered up and accessed freely.

  • I also self host and I wouldn't say the cost is zero. In the UK, energy costs alone mean that a 40W computer cost £8 per month to run (assuming a 28p/kWh price).

    Of course, that's assuming you run it 24/7 at full energy use, but I know my PCs run on more than that.

  • Whenever I see that subglasses and hat avatar, I know a bad and strawman-y take is coming.

  • Huh?

  • London Marathon: Choir dropped by charity Scope over founder's gender-critical views

    Jump

  • Reminds me of this:

    As you say, just because it's (debatably) legal does not mean it is moral.

  • Pink Ladies: Anti-migrant movement hides behind women's rights

    Jump

  • There are also those who claim to be women's rights groups who spend 95% of their time trying to take away the rights of trans people. For example, Sex Matters.

  • You are paying taxes to destroy your own rights to privacy

  • Downvoted for AI generated.

    Though TBF could just be terrible compression

    Nevermind. Definitely AI

  • We've got this near where I live. I think it's neat.

  • Home Office to announce closure of 11 asylum hotels in next week

    Jump

  • That is why we are closing every asylum hotel and moving asylum seekers into basic accommodation including ex-military sites.

    Yeah they want to put them in camps. Why? Because the far right is complaining. Why listen to them? Because Labour are far-right boot lickers.

  • Smoking ban for people born after 2008 in the UK agreed

    Jump

  • Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Wes Streeting,

    🤢

    It's not clear how they will police this. Will you need to provide ID at point of sale? Will we punish buyers or sellers? Will this just make this all go underground?

    While I do think everyone should quit smoking, it's easier said than done and it could disproportionately affect disadvantaged people.
