At this rate, the closest thing to a new Disco Elysium we’re getting is the book on all these disputes.

It has an algorithm that puts content in front of you, unlike Mastodon where it only puts what you ask for in your feed. I’m convinced that if Mastodon populated people with low following count’s feed with random posts it wouldn’t have bled as many users as it did.

The UK will pledge to cut emissions by 81% compared with 1990 levels by 2035, a target in line with the recommendations of the Climate Change Committee, according to three people familiar with the matter.

Good to hear, given the trajectory of other Western countries it’s nice to see Starmer not underplaying the action needed.

The goal would be achieved by decarbonising the power sector and through a massive expansion of offshore wind, as well as through investments in carbon capture and storage and nuclear energy.

Carbon capture really is going to be this government’s white elephant, isn’t it.

Been playing quire a bit of the new Dragon Age. I normally don’t play games close to release, and I’ve never played a DA game before, but I watched a review and it seemed like something I was in the mood for. Been enjoying it quire a bit, more than I expected. I just really need to do something about my thermals.

An elected HoL would probably require a referendum, something we’re all a bit burnt out on, so this probably isn’t going to go anywhere.

You can go to the trouble to learn Rust, and then fight with them to get your modifications accepted or…

Can you actually point to any instances of the devs dragging their feet on accepting changes or is this just conjecture? I’ve contributed to Lemmy, and plan to do so in future, and my experience is that they’re fairly accepting of changes.

It absolutely argues that:

Frei argued to Blair that neither government would benefit if Pinochet were to die in England and that he could be tried in Chilean courts. […] Blair undertook to do what he could within the law provided the exchanges between the two leaders were kept secret. The authors claim that Blair suggested setting up a ‘back channel’, with two people appointed to liaise between the leaders’ private offices.

Skwawkbox links to this Guardian article, which itself is sourced from a book from the time. It doesn’t seem that far-fetched that a renowned negotiator would be involved with a negotiation.

Mods can also see votes in communities they moderate, lemmy-ui just doesn’t show the option (and no other client, to my knowledge, has the feature).

The UK/US ‘special relationship’ is such a joke, it’s abundantly clear the US doesn’t hold us in anywhere near the same regard as we do them.

I do hope Labour plans to do more than try to appease Trump, I understand why this is their public stance but we should really try to reduce our reliance on America.

This was actually discussed at one of their recent meet-ups.

It’s impressive that Jonathan Ashworth managed to lose two elections on two separate continents in one year.

Every year, about 12% of food from animals is wasted.

This is honestly lower than I’d expect.

7.2 million people in this country are food insecure, but one bad thing befalls investment bankers and landlords and it’s all we hear about for weeks, because guess which segment of society journalists are sourced from.

We could do what I think you’ve done, and regex the details of the attachment into ! [] ()

To be clear, this pull request doesn’t use regex, it’s just JSON deserialisation and string interpolation.

I’ve never actually seen a Mastodon user try to add an image to something that ended up as a Lemmy comment, tbh, so it’s not something I’ve thought too much about.

The pull request actually includes one, the main KDE account tags !kde@lemmy.kde.social and includes pictures in their threads regularly. It’s just hard to tell from our side as you can’t see what’s missing.

“Dumb moves” seems to be he theme of Microsoft lately.

This is Mastodon’s HTML sanitiser, you can see they stipe out <img> tags.

How does Piefed handle image attachments, btw?

Because enacting policies that you know will increase the number of trans kids committing suicide is a policy of killing trans kids.

I wouldn’t call Bluesky’s federation fake, we’d need a working definition of ‘federation’ for that, but I would say it lacks meaningful federation.

Picking Badenoch is such an own goal, left leaning and moderate people don’t like her because of the far-right culture war rhetoric and she’s very unpopular with the Reform voters she’s suppose to win back.
