  • Because the only two Norway-hosted servers I found were lemmygrad.ml (for Marxists) and another "private registration" one. There were other regional servers, but not a general one for Norway that I could find... and then I got bored of trying to find an instance and just picked the one that tops most of the server lists. Is there something wrong with lemmy.ml that I should have been aware of?

  • The pair fucked up too many things too early on and became an image of infighting and disorganisation. It would have been way more straight-forward and easier to get to this point if Corbyn launched the party alone.

    It's too late for them to build traction. They missed a moment and it turns out the Greens stole the _lime_light. 🍋‍🟩

  • I think it's a good example here, as it's clearly indicated with the watermark.

    Define "clearly" 😅 it took a while for you and I to notice the watermark and over half the commenters still believe this is a real image.

    My clues were ... then I started to look for other clues and noticed the watermark

  • For travel, I've tried CoMaps and CityMapper and Magic Earth

    I always end up coming back to CityMapper because its nicely made and does what I need best; which is public transport routes.

    But it sounds like maybe you're looking for ALL THE OTHER STUFF; reviews, opening times, menus, etc. for local businesses?

  • There's a lot of tech industry talent in the UK and Europe. A massive part of Microsoft 365 Copilot is built in UK, Norway and India. A lot of Google Maps is built in Australia. The talent is spread across the globe and I think because the US tech industry is very dominant there's this illusion that the talent doesn't exist outside the US.

  • Curious about being a Green MP?

  • Yeah, the party is called "The Green Party of England and Wales" but I think on a bunch of their socials they grabbed the username "Green Party UK" and it stuck for their online presence. I can't answer for whoever named this community, but yes, 'Scottish Greens' is a thing and 'Green Party NI' is a thing and they are both in the UK too.

  • We have systems in place to counter illegal working. Why do we need the other id? We don’t. It’s a badly thought out rehash of what Blair was pushing in the naughties.

    As someone who lives in a country where there is one unique ID number issued to every existing citizen, newborn and every residing citizen, I really do feel the UK needs another ID. There are many people without a British passport (elderly or immigrants), the National Insurance number is only for people aged over 16 and does not contain a photo (and immigrants have to apply for it), and a drivers license is... well, for those that have passed a driving test.

    So, have a new unique ID number for every individual born or residing in the country ties each of these bits of data together or works in place of someone who is missing one or all of those. In my country, you can use it to identify yourself at a hospital, or for doing your taxes, opening a bank account - or to log into many services. You even used to have to tell your ID number to a retailer when buying a TV so they could check to see if you had a license (but fortunately the government killed the license fee and bundled it in with our standard income tax).

    And I have seen people people say "but what if the police ask me to present my digital card and my phone battery is dead?". Here most institutions who have permission to look you up can still find you by your name and date of birth - since your unique ID number starts with DDMMYYYY followed by a five-digit number and they just ask you to verbally confirm they got the correct 'you' from their system.

    That said, I haven't read through the UK's proposed plans for the ID card and I know historically the suggestion has been a little too invasive when it comes to adding "biometrics" to the card. All it would need to be is a unique ID number that links together all your other data thats scattered around the place... but clearly most Brits are dead against that.

    They are happy to give their personal data away to Facebook and have it stored on servers around the world at the whim of Mark Zuckerberg, but not trust their government enough to store the same info on home soil to make the country run more efficiently.

  • I feel like people don't like him because he's as dull as dishwater. I am not a fan of Kier's politics, but I think he's practical and level headed. Following 14 years of a Tory shit show - I'm suprised people aren't happy with having someone like that in the job and winning some brownie points.

    The biggest mistake he's making is that people expected a bit of a shift to oppose what the Conservatives were offering but instead he's also trying to appeal to the right of politics through a lurch to the right. He's not charasmatic or radical enough for that to succeed, so has pushed away the left only to fail to win over the right. Nobody likes him.
