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

    Jump

  • It's a CIC, so they can't just kick out the founder. Founding a new organisation takes a lot of work.

    Even if they could kick her out, it's legally a protected belief, so it would potentially be illegal discrimination to kick her out for it.

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

    Jump

  • Sorry, but punishing an entire choir because of the wrongthink of one person is stupid. Not only that, but all the reporting of this is just going to give her a massive amount of publicity, I'd certainly never heard of this lady before.

  • What is this German cylinder?

  • The green colour makes me think it's a halon fire extinguisher.

  • Oppo is building camera phones like the smartphone race never ended

    Jump

  • Still only a 1/1.12-inch sensor, which is smaller than the current x8 ultra.

    Honestly I'd prefer they just made it a little thicker and stuck a Sony rx100 style collapsible zoom on it.

  • Trump threatens 'big tariff if UK does not drop digital services tax on US tech firms

    Jump

  • They need to start negotiating with trump in a way he understands, if he imposes tariffs double or triple the tax.

  • When i go to linux to escape AI.... and linux is about to become illegal

  • Suggestions for music streaming service?

    Jump

  • If you don’t find any of the paid options morally tolerable, I would submit that pirating and self-hosting what you need is the most ethical option.

    youtube music revanced is also an option

  • Trojan Horse? Rupert Lowe’s Far-Right Restore Britain Is Standing 13 Candidates as ‘Independents’ in One Council

    Jump

  • It's blocked by lemmy.world, like half the fediverse is.

    Mander and most other instances don't block them.

    Jump

  • The usual trick is to post an image along with "link in the comments".

  • Sharing Good News on Mastodon

    Jump

  • People actually use threads?

    I assumed everyone had moved on to mastodon/bluesky or crawled back to xitter.
