United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Voter ID Has Damaged Trust in UK Elections, Study FindsEnglish

World News@lemmy.world•Brit SAS veterans 'training Russians to fight in Ukraine' at Bulgarian camps, leaked report claimsEnglish
41·21 hours agoYou guys are getting all frothy over a half serious line on the end of an internet comment.
Do you want me to prove I met a guy, relatively in passing, nearly two decades ago or just that I assume things?
I assume you’re gonna try and respond, if that helps clear up the latter, not really sure how I can do the former, as the guy is likely dead now even if I could contact him.

World News@lemmy.world•Brit SAS veterans 'training Russians to fight in Ukraine' at Bulgarian camps, leaked report claimsEnglish
81·1 day agoGiven the article we’re at an absolute minimum size of 3, and there’s probably more than two doing this
Any evidence to the contrary?
The SAS have been involved in some pretty shitty things over the decades, I find it wholly unsurprising that more than just the guy I met become morality-devoid mercenaries after the job.

262·2 days agoHaving met an ex-SAS guy a long time ago who was proud to have worked after as “private security” abroad in various African countries during civil wars…
I assume they’re all like this

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I'm right and the other vegans are wrong
551·2 days agoI’m not at all, vegan as a personal trait is a bit of a broad church these days.
There’s the people that are mostly motivated by the not-killing-animals thing
Then there’s the ones doing it predominantly for environmental reasons
Then you’ve got the ones doing it for various health reasons
Then you’ve got people doing it predominantly for cost reasons (fewer here, given vegan is still treated as a luxury aspect in a lot of food categories)
Those groups do not have to overlap in views at all. It’s entirely expected for there to be disagreement and purity test drama given that IMO

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Greens suspends Trans Woman due to running for a woman's space on party council.English
533·2 days agoFFS.
How is even the green party transphobic now? I’m actually shocked
Not only is it incredibly disappointing to find out, it’s absolutely going to massacre their support. Most of the TERFs are comfortably voting for the right wing parties, they are never in a million years voting for the greens.
Punctuation is important here
What fuck?
Is different from
What, fuck?
Is different from
What? fuck.
Nice review, thanks for doing it
I’ve got a C5 pro and honestly that external dial has me considering the upgrade, it’s currently a tiny bit fiddly to change the grind size so I find myself tinkering less than I otherwise probably would
Well, weather satellite images are generally considered to be public domain and pretty easy to receive, so if it fits your use case, get yourself an SDR dongle and an appropriate aerial and start collecting them as they go past
Might find yourself with a new hobby after

Curated Tumblr@sh.itjust.works•I think the person who originally screen capped this had the exact same weird phone as meEnglish
3·2 days agoIt’s either a composite screenshot (i.e. “full page screenshot” mode or manually stitched) or Sony has released an Xperia with an even wider aspect than the 21:9 they have been doing
9point6@lemmy.worldtoAMUSING, INTERESTING, OUTRAGEOUS, or PROFOUND@lemmy.world•Largest Republican donor (by far) has long history of anti-Semitic commentsEnglish
3·2 days agoWill Republican candidates “distance themselves” from such hateful rhetoric?
Right wing politics is in the service of capital, and explicitly not people
Identity politics is a weapon used to keep their support in line
They do not give a single shit about what comes out of the mouth attached to the hand that feeds
People like Elon are their biggest donors because they are existentially driven to make sure more people blame anyone other than (correctly) billionaires for many of the woes we’re facing in the modern world

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•I get unblockable pop-up ads from my carrierEnglish
12·3 days agoMovistar is also O2 or Vivo depending where you’re from
I wasn’t in the market to switch carrier anyway, but I’m definitely not gonna pick O2 next time now if this is what they do in other markets

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Apparently Chinese memory makers have been stocking up on western chipmaking machinesEnglish
9·3 days agoI have a tinfoil hat theory that the incumbent manufacturers have seen this coming and are basically trying to cash out before their cartel is demolished by cheap competition
They’re designed to have a case now
I don’t like it, but that’s why. You’re simply not supposed to use them without a case.
I will say though, I don’t know where you’re getting your cases from, but I swear by the Spigen ones, they’re usually £10-20 and I have bought one the day I buy a new phone for probably the past 10 years or so.
I’ve not smashed a screen since I started, I used to have to talk to insurance once a year before. That £15 every couple of years has saved me hundreds of pounds in insurance excess fees.
I don’t even use a screen protector
I support this being made into an instant jail without parole crime
That would not be mainline
Mainline basically means you’ve cloned the source from Linus’ repo, applied no patches to it (incl distro patches) and built that

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I want to go deep into the earth and be not disturbed by mortal men
91·3 days agoFF1 is basically the Seinfeld of console (i.e. non tabletop) RPGs
Looking back at it from today doesn’t directly show how much the genre was defined by the choices it made

Privacy@lemmy.ml•📌 Pinterest used ~500 Million ROWS of user pins to train it's AI!
6·3 days agoI think people see the word “row” is being interpreted as a horizontal line of content on a feed page because they don’t know the computing definition of “data record”
