  • What brought you to Lemmy?

    Jump

  • The loss of Reddit third party apps and the reasons they were giving for them doing it felt like it was going to be a slippery slope of shit. The Reddit app was also shit at the time and still is.

    With Lemmy, I can just go looking for another app if there's something I don't like and even if I don't switch between them, they also seem to be way more configurable too.

  • Patients clogging up A&E with hiccups, sore throats and niggles

  • Not a lot of places do in person appointment booking now. They definitely don't encourage it anyway and usually prefer it to be done via the NHS app if possible. Mines not on the app yet outside of applying for getting a recurring prescription sent to a pharmacy

  • I am happy to announce I'm in the middle of my new hyperfixation.

    Jump

  • But there's always something new to learn and eventually you'll get the urge to go back to older stuff once something internally clicks that allows you to learn more of it or to do it in a newer novel way.

  • The year is 2036. What is on the front page of Lemmy?

    Jump

  • I think it's at 5 now is it not? Or was that just steam specific stats? (Which are obviously skewed in their favour because of SteamOS)

  • Pentagon announces it has killed four men in another boat strike in Pacific

    Jump

  • But he should be given the Nobel peace prize... /s

  • Patients clogging up A&E with hiccups, sore throats and niggles

    Jump

  • Not been my case. I had an issue where I thought I may have had ligament or tendon damage that felt like it was healing from the last few days of having it. Which I feel like would've been an easy "just go to A&E" situation is that's what they favoured. But they just told me what I should do at home to help it out and said if it persisted beyond X more days, THEN go to A&E if you can't get a GP appointment. Which was sound advice because it turns out I felt much better the next day haha.

  • No, not really. And even if there are, you're not always guaranteed you can even get onboarded into a local GP surgery. So most people are stuck with whoever they are currently with.

  • Patients clogging up A&E with hiccups, sore throats and niggles

    Jump

  • My previous GP surgery, only did this. Which was awful. My current one usually booked appointments within the same week now which is way better.

    In my previous one I would have to battle it out in the early morning phone queue hopping I get seen too before the window closes or what was more common, no more time was free that day so I just wasted my time in a phone queue.

  • They said "humane appointment systems".

    I see that as being a system where you don't have to try and ring up as fast as you can in hopes that there's still time for you to be seen that day etc.

    One of my previous GP surgeries sold only take appointments between 8 and 9am bit appointments for the day would be filled up usually within 15 minutes. And they would never book appointments for other days.

    My current one is much better now and wish other GP surgeries did appointments the same way. Because I know the prior experience is the common one in this country sadly.

  • The game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle

    Jump

  • It might not be what they planned but they're now using it as an opportunity for more publicity to get something out of it especially now there are some potential sales they won't be getting anymore.

  • Linux continues to grow and has reached a new peak of 3.20% in the November 2025 Steam Hardware & Software Survey

    Jump

  • Cachyos has slowly become my go to. It's basically just arch but with a good basic install along with a kernel and distro specific packages that are more optimised.

  • Zig quits GitHub, says Microsoft's AI obsession has ruined the service

    Jump

  • Azure might keep them afloat but everything else will likely crumble and they'll have to downsize to mostly just being a cloud provider.

  • People in the UK watching the world use the internet

    Jump

  • You'll have to elaborate, sorry

  • Time to admit the truth: Brexit has been an unmitigated economic failure

    Jump

  • Because the majority that voted Brexit and still believe in it were never in it for the economics, at least not the kind backed by evidence, because in their minds the economy will get better for the average working man once all of the "foreigners" are no longer here.

    And because of how loud this minority are, they've gotten the more gullible of the population that don't know any better to think that it's true, because they've heard it from John, Barry, Gaz and that guy on TV.

  • France’s far-right leader hit by egg, days after flour attack

    Jump

  • I've never fully understood this phrase because don't you have a cake by eating it?

    "what did you eat last night?" "I had a cake instead of dinner"

  • People in the UK watching the world use the internet

    Jump

  • It wasn't the majority of us because I don't even think we barely made it over the majority of people registered to vote, to actually vote.

    Same goes for brexit, (number out of my arse but) I think about 30+% didn't vote either way, yet they treat it like the majority of the country overall wanted it.

    Plus the current government were only voted in to stop a worse one from continuing, and they seem to be going back on the principals both what they campaigned for as well as what the party has been historically known for.

  • Venezuela calls Trump airspace closure warning 'colonialist threat'

  • It so

  • Yakuza 0 is being delisted on all platforms on December 8 (being replaced by Y0:DC), Yakuza Kiwami 1 & 2 also being delisted from Microsoft PC Store

    Jump

  • This also states that this is the first main kiryu game with an English dub. But the very first game was dub only on the PS2, with Mark Hamill as Majima too

  • GTA hype

    Jump

  • Nah, I'm fine with the standard look of it on the PC. It's part of what makes it feel how it does. I don't think I'd have described it as a blurry mess though, it ain't an N64 game
