  • Tax rises could push food prices higher, warn supermarkets

    Jump

  • This budget will be a tax on income, not big business, rightly or wrongly. The Treasury already learnt that lesson last time - they won't repeat the mistake.

  • Internet is Down

    Jump

  • TalkTalk. They're terrible. Was thinking of going to Virgin Fibre, honestly, but have been avoiding it.

  • Dog attacks are still rising - even after the XL bully ban

    Jump

  • Cats have the right to roam, whereas dogs don't. The law treats cats in a weird way that doesn't apply to dogs.

    This, speaking as a dog owner. Also I get annoyed a lot at seeing dog shit everywhere, so I get it.

    Cats are also annoying, in so far they're held to a different standard, but what are you gonna do? 🤷‍♂️

    Edit: tbh, as often the issue is inconsiderate people.

  • Looking for a gaming chair, found spawn and have never heard of them

    Jump

  • Can confirm. Just bought a gaming chair to replace an office chair that lost one of its arm rests.

    Just buy an office chair.

  • Controversy mires 'Your Party' registration process.

    Jump

  • I mean, it has Corbyn clusterfuck written all over it, really.

  • Borderlands 4 Patch Due Out Today, PC Performance 'Our Top Priority,' Gearbox Says

    Jump

  • No, no, that can't be right. Randy said the game was super optimal. 🤔

  • Remember episodic gaming? Former Telltale devs are bringing it back for the release of Dispatch, and there's a chance it might work this time | Eurogamer

    Jump

  • I guess that means I'll buy it when the full story is finished and all the episodes released? 🤷 I just don't have any interest in buying half a story.

    Edit: okay, read the article. Kind of odd, in so far as they already have everything finished, but they're doling out the game in pieces. Maybe as a kind of marketing strategy?

    I don't really get it, but at least they have the game done and are planning to release it at a reasonable price. 👍

  • Team Cherry - Hollow Knight: Silksong will be $20 USD

    Jump

  • I'm sure Silksong will be good - Shovel Knight was good. But I wonder if they've kept the price relatively low to move into the impulse buy territory, because even they know the amount of hype around the game is flash in the pan.

  • is it worth learning golang?

    Jump

  • Speaking primarily as a Go developer, what I see is companies cutting costs, and Java is battle-tested and there's a tonne of talent out there who know the language. If Java in your area already pays more, I'd say you've already got your answer.

    Besides which, if Go truly does eat the Java world in the next couple of years (it won't), the language is still young enough for you to pick it up fairly quickly. Especially with the help of AI.

  • UK pornography taskforce to propose banning ‘barely legal’ content after Channel 4 documentary airs

    Jump

  • Shades of this imo:

  • The right wants to kill off the NHS. Striking doctors are playing into their hands

    Jump

  • talks were going well until the BMA resident doctors’ committee told its co-chairs that it could not approve the government’s deal because it did not address the BMA’s demand that resident doctors receive a 29% pay rise over the next few years.

    The BMA seem to be of the opinion that money is the deal breaker. As I understand it, negotiations were underway to improve conditions, but no dice.

    I feel like they've misjudged the government or public sentiment, or both.

  • Sony may block PlayStation Steam games on new Xbox console, dashing hopes for a cross-platform system

    Jump

  • I'm struggling to understand how Sony could force it on a technical level when Microsoft controls the default PC OS. Could maybe try a legal route, but I'm not sure how they would argue it.

  • Deleted

    Jump

  • I haven't gone through it thoroughly but the first thing that stuck out was the use of a default logger. I don't think libraries should log by default. If you do allow a logger to be injected in I think it should be an interface.

  • [Discussions] Lemmy clients

    Jump

  • I've switched to using Jerboa from Sync and it's absolutely fine for my casual usage and it doesn't have ads, which is a big plus point.

    Jump

  • I'm glad that PS5 owners get to play Forza, but overall I don't have a lot of confidence in Microsoft's ability to stay in the hardware market, which is concerning for everyone as I think Sony will leverage that position to raise their prices on their hardware and on PSN.

    Xbox has said it will be producing a new console next gen with powerful hardware, but I will probably stay away, despite owning a Series console this gen.

  • Android Identity Check will secure your phone from even a stolen PIN

    Jump

  • I mean, the optical fingerprint sensors they've been using on the Pixels are absolutely garbage, so I will never use this feature.

  • Ed Miliband: “We need to move fast and build things” | New Statesman

    Jump

  • No no, it's move fast and break things, silly. ☺️

  • Game developers are still feeling the pull of last-generation consoles

    Jump

  • In the UK at least there's a persistent cost-of-living battle being fought, so we're not spending as much as we were, and large game production has reached a tipping point where the number of purchasers aren't growing but costs are increasing, so: studios contract; or games are taking longer to make; or games are made with a smaller scope. So basically, there's less to upgrade your console for.

    I mean, for me personally, everytime I think of upgrading from a Series S I find it hard to justify because most games run quite well.

  • Started learning Perl

    Jump

  • I worked with Perl for years, and I don't recommend it for a beginner. There are just too many idiosyncrasies that belong specifically to the language that you'd be better off with Python for learning the basics.

    I'm also not really sold on that book, which from the code samples looks really old. I'd recommend two books: Modern Perl and Perl Best Practices.

    Edit: I'd also recommend working in Go but potentially the way i/o intersects with interfaces makes it a bit more challenging.
