    Is there some SSL problem?

    Jump

  • Yeah, this was probably a problem with the relay you were connected to. I've had experiences where I can't connect to a website (recently example.com of all things) because my machine's CA database didn't update properly.

  • 'Industrial scale' solar farms attacked by Norfolk's Green

    Jump

  • "The basic thing is that these shocking schemes are [proposed by] foreign investors looking to make a profit out of our ridiculous energy prices," said Rowett.

    "It's a huge profit margin for those who can get some renewable energy from our sunshine and take the profits offshore."

    True and she's right to say it.

    She said countryside solar schemes should be smaller and locally operated, and called for a stronger drive for solar panels to be installed on rooftops of public and private buildings instead.

    I doubt this would bring in close to what we'd need even if we do it on every building nationally. But heaven forbid we change the landscape to combat climate change.

    East Pye has faced strong opposition from politicians in the other main parties on the council including the Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats and Reform UK.

    All local parties are NIMBY or something.

  • Yeah, if they did more than just make "she's a woman who likes man things" jokes it could have been great, it even ends by saying Douglas was in the wrong. It's honestly not even that bad by 2000s sitcom standards, it came out 2 years before that Family Guy episode. Which makes Glinner destroying his entire life over it all the more morbidly fascinating.

  • It's honestly funny that he's destroyed his entire life over what was fairly mild criticism of an single IT Crowd episode. Well it would be, except the entire British media class and the bloody government comes out moaning about 'freeze peach' because he got talked to for incited violence against trans people.

  • Exporting from orgmode

    Jump

  • Sorry, I don't use Latex and am entirely unfamiliar with it, I mostly use org-mode to export to HTML where CSS would be used for this. This Stack Overflow thread says you can add :align |c|c|c| to #+attr_latex to get columns. Apparently column groups also will add these lines, which works in the ODT export but not the HTML one so may work in the Latex one.

    This blog post has a walkthrough on using an alternative table extension that may be helpful.

  • Exporting from orgmode

    Jump

  • Weird, are they getting overridden by something else in your config (a package or something). In an org-mode buffer, what's the output of C-h v org-export-with-sub-superscripts?

    Edit: worked out the issues, I wrote the one of the variable names wrong, it should be org-export-with-sub-superscripts not org-export-with-superscripts

  • Exporting from orgmode

    Jump

  • You need to use a symbol, not a string: 

     lisp
        
(setq org-export-with-sub-superscripts '{}
      org-use-sub-superscripts '{})

    write something like this: log_{critical}_{error}

    That's what you'd need to write to have subscript, with the above set:

    • log_critical => log_critical
    • log_{critical} => logcritical

    ‎

    Edit: org-export-with-superscripts => org-export-with-sub-superscripts

  • Exporting from orgmode

    Jump

  • First of all: how can I turn of the need to manually stop the code execution for code blocks when exporting

    From the docs:

    You can prevent Org from evaluating code blocks for speed or security reasons:

    • To speed up export, use the header argument ‘:eval never-export’
    • For greater security, set the org-export-use-babel variable to nil, but understand that header arguments will have no effect in this case.

    The next thing is, that my function names include underscores, which in orgmode translates to making the following text lowercase.

    Do you mean subscript, like HELLOWORLD? Also from the docs:

    If you write a text where the underscore is often used in a different context, Org’s convention to always interpret these as subscripts can get in your way. Configure the variable org-use-sub-superscripts and/or org-export-with-sub-superscripts to change this convention. For example, when setting these variables to {}, ‘a_b’ is not displayed/exported as a subscript, but ‘a_{b}’ is.

  • conversely, feddit.uk is a LEMMY instance. They run a custom UI frontend and backend both currently based off of version 0.19.17 (UI: 0.19.17-2-g4f0da5f5 & BE: 0.19.17-feddit).

    For anyone curious, the modifications aren't that significant. The two UI changes are adding an explicit referrerPolicy to iframes and detecting avif files as images. Backend has more changes like blocking NSFW stuff, enabling image proxying for lemmings.world and some user agent stuff.

  • Nurse wins settlement in trans pronouns dispute

    Jump

  • Gender as a term has existed since the 14th century, the distinction that gender = social/cultural aspects and sex = biological aspects is a recent phenomenon, but still predates the internet. The problem with 'biological male' is it actually doesn't tell you anything, it's just a way of calling someone a man with plausible deniability. Are you talking about chromosomes, sholder-to-hip ratio, hormone levels or any of the other biological stuff we conceptually tie to sex? And what is the BBC referring to when calling this unnamed woman a 'biological male' (they're not referring to anything biological, they are calling this woman a man).

    also, right from the article disproving your annoyance…

    They're referring to the nurse, not the trans woman. The part I quoted is literally the only time the article refers to the trans woman.

  • transgender woman - who was born a biological male - after she addressed them as "Mr"

    The BBC sure have got the 'not technically misgendering' thing down to a science, calls her a 'biological male' (nonsense term made up by internet activists) and refuses to use she/her pronouns for the trans woman.

    Jump

  • Famously they’ve been very successful where come from - Sheffield - but have absolutely nothing to put to their name following a long-reigning green party mayor of the city … other than some postulating and participstion in reality shows.

    (Actually i would credit the green party’s success here with the delay to Sheffield getting an improved metro system, which is now only going ahead under a labour-led Combined authority for the entire county.)

    He held a, what Wikipedia calls, ceremonial post for one year? The Greens also only had 8 councillors and Labour a majority, so this criticism feels very misplaced.

    UK Song Nominations for Lemmyvision 3

    Jump

  • Maybe if the title was clearer that this was a nomination thread there'd be more engagement, because it does currently look like just an announcement post. !anime@ani.social and !canada@lemmy.ca did that and more people are joining in there.

  • What happens when the Green Party governs?

    Jump

  • Sure, the Green party has a historic current of conservationists small-c conservatives who are only Greens because they want to keep landscapes pretty. Doesn't help that the only council the Greens have a majority in (Mid Suffolk) is held by that faction, but that will almost certainly change in May. Every party has cranks, but they do stand out a lot more and have a lot more influence in the Greens due to how small the party has historically been. Just look at the 'natural births' thing the Greens only dropped in the run up to the 2024 General Election.

    Hopefully the Greens with all the momentum behind them now can leave most of that stuff behind, Polanski himself has come out in support of pylons and the people in my local Green party are from this new wave and are pretty sensible, so I have hope.

    arguing that the government should subsidise scarce fossil fuel resources

    No, they argue that the government should provide support to cap people's energy bills. This unfortunately means paying for fossil fuels, but that's just the nature of our current energy grid. Reeves has announced intentions to provide support for energy bills as well, they're just less broad than the Greens proposal and will mean people over whatever threshold the Treasury decides don't get the support they likely need. Do you think it'd be fair to brand the Labour government as subsidising fossil fuels when these measures are actually announced?

    A caveat: The Greens proposal only really makes sense when done along with the Greens proposed broad tax rises.

    but not do anything to increase our own production

    Unless you're arguing for fracking, North Sea drilling won't bring in enough gas to meet our needs or even affect the price very much. We'll still need to buy most of it from Norway and arguing over domestic production is frankly a distraction.
