  • A proposal to help the Lemmy devs

    Jump

  • Wouldn't most of those who wish not to fund .ml just want to put their money into piefed or other lemmy compatible alternatives?

  • Members of far-right party organising asylum hotel protests across UK, Facebook posts show

    Jump

  • I bet the tattoo to tooth ratio is particularly high in that lot

  • Far-right populists top polls in Germany, France and Britain for the first time

    Jump

  • Nope and by design from the media to keep them distracted from it. Get people riled up about trans people in toilets and asylum seekers in small boats rather than the rich destroying the planet and causing horrendous inequality in basic living.

  • Whites-only community plotting expansion to another state

    Jump

  • Don't think its needed, it will already be full to the brim of self hating and repressing gay men

  • WhatsApp rolls out AI-generated summaries for private messages

    Jump

  • I've tried moving to signal but at most I have about 3 friends that use it with me, it simply not possible to dump it completely and remain in contact with all my friends and family members.

  • UK’s Porn Providers Agree to Age Checks by July 25; Aylo, Owner of Pornhub, YouPorn, and RedTube, Will Add Age Assurance Checks.

  • Page 3 of the sun newspaper was the famous one for just having a topless women emblazoned on it

  • British man is only passenger to survive India plane crash

    Jump

  • I made the mistake of looking at youtube comments on this story... Holy racism batman...

  • Presidential Memoranda to approve use of US Armed Forces against American protesters, labeling riots as an act of rebellion.

    Jump

  • To me this has been pretty obvious since they started following the Project 2025 manifesto line by line

  • If you hear Latin, you're in trouble.

    Jump

  • It somewhat invalidates non-binary people by not including them. Grammatically it isn't necessary (and as an aside is unnecessarily clunky, 6 chrs vs 4) so by using it instead of singular they, it can be seen as exclusionary.

    Jump

  • Singular they is not a new concept designed to appeal to the "woke crowd". I was very much taught in school to use singular they, it was always something used when the gender of the subject was unknown and often even if it is known but unimportant. It has been part of the English language for a long time.

  • Smuggler caught with dozens of venomous vipers "concealed in checked-in baggage" on plane, customs officials say

    Jump

  • There are non-venomous vipers?

  • J.K. Rowling uses Harry Potter wealth to fund anti-transgender organization

    Jump

  • Wouldn't it be a shame if the website got DDOS'd, the email account (JKRWF@turcanconnell.com) got spammed to shit and the morally bankrupt legal firm facilitating this also got something coming to their website (see email)

  • How we can smash Britain’s two-party system for good at the next election

    Jump

  • Doesn't STV require a reworking of the whole system? I.e electing more than one MP per constituency? We had the 2011 AV referendum which failed miserably, i still remember the disgusting 'this premature baby needs an incubator, not a new voting system' adverts... I often wonder what things would be like had it succeeded.

    Jump

  • I don't think I could vote for Labour again in good conscience. I voted for them as the lesser of two evils but it has been nothing but betrayal. My fear is that doing this will allow the tories or fascists reform into power which will be utterly horrendous against the mildly lighter level of shitness we have now.

    I joined the lib dems before when they were the big party against brexit and this time i will be joining the greens. I dont have any hope that things will change before the next election where I'll be forced to think about the implications of my vote but I'll cross that bridge when i come to it.

    In landmark ruling, UK's top court says legal definition of woman refers to biological sex

    Jump

  • I'm fully aware of how the system works, thank you very much for explaining at me. I'm saying the ruling itself is arse backwards and jumps to a lot of baseless and genuinely misogynistic conclusions. It is difficult to read it as an objective clarification on anything, let alone a positive one.

    Jump

  • In which case the ruling, even if one was to accept it as a valid interpretation, let alone its effect on people involved, is arse backwards and has the potential to cause significant harm in the short term.

    Jump

  • Decades of gender = sex in legal wording, documents and policy makes it very difficult to detangle the intent of what is meant by sex or gender in each case.

    This particularly undermimes obtaining a GRC which updates the specifically labelled 'Sex' field on a birth certificate. So now we can have people with legal documents stating their 'Sex' being barred from same sex spaces aligning with their documentation.

  • FOSS (preferably) alternative to Discord's screen sharing feature?

  • Jitsi?

  • UK takes control of British Steel under emergency powers

  • I think you are thinking of network rail who owns the infrastructure. GBR came about in 2021 when none of the operating companies were getting any money and so the government basically ran it for them. Basically it is de-facto back in public hands and GBR will take over once each operating company's contract is up (I think SWR is first). At least that is my understanding of it.

    Also the rolling stock wasnt typically owned by the operating companies, they would lease them from the ones who did like Angel trains and Porterbrook.
