  • Royal Mint to stop making overseas coins after 700 years

    Jump

  • The Royal Mint's currency arm loses money, and made losses of £13.1million in 2022/23, up from £4.5million the year before.

    Making a loss out of making money! Do you think they have to mint their own overtime?!? /j (GNU Terry Pratchet)

    It's effectively a luxury item right, you would have thought that the market for that would have been fine? Unless they are just being undercut too much by foreign manufacturers?

  • Foreign landlord fails to pay taxes, CRA goes after tenant

    Jump

  • Can't they put a lien on the big, solid, not going anywhere asset the landlord happens to have in the country?

  • What song, when you listened to it for the first time, made you go: "This will be stuck in my head for the rest of the week."

    Jump

  • Recently 'World on Fire's by Dolly Parton.... Which was unexpected

  • Why does it seem like 80% of the posts are news articles?

    Jump

  • Posting to a news article is easy compared with creating content, so you will see a lot more of it.

  • More than 4,000 people evacuated in Russia after dam bursts

    Jump

  • If it overtopped that's a management issue not a construction issue (unless they embezzled the money for a spillway or something)

  • The diagnosis is in—bad memory knocked NASA’s aging Voyager 1 offline

    Jump

  • isn't it on an escape trajectory?

  • Meta’s AI image generator really struggles with the concept of interracial couples | CNN Business

    Jump

  • Generative AI has taken off so much because it works so well out of the box and can be interacted with by anyone.

    The examples you gave require training specific to the role it will fulfil - that requires expertise, data and money - and needs to be repeated for every use case!

    That has existed, and will continue to exist, but is not something g the average person, or even the average developer sees.

  • The EU compromise machine is breaking — and everyone’s blaming Germany

    Jump

  • You have European elections, maybe the actual governments shouldn't have the power they do?

  • Can We Engineer Our Way Out of the Climate Crisis?

    Jump

  • Better than nothing.

    If we have to overbuild green energy to get a reliable supply, use the excess on things like this.

    It's also has a directly measurable output (...input?) - I would prefer that money was spent on this rather than carbon offsetting, which is basically a scam.

  • An update to how many boring, repetitive communities I need to block to make Lemmy enjoyable

    Jump

  • Have you got your language set on your account? (Open settings on browser not app) It should auto filter based on that. I see very little non English stuff. (Small instance though)

  • An update to how many boring, repetitive communities I need to block to make Lemmy enjoyable

    Jump

  • This. I occasionally look at all to look for new stuff though

  • Every single jigsaw puzzle in the store was one of these.

    Jump

  • That kind of jigsaw can be much more interesting than normal ones, you discover the image (with clues).

    Wasgij do something similar, where the box art shows the reaction to the actual jigsaw image.

  • Millennia is a new 4x strategy game published by Paradox Interactive and we ponder if it can measure up to the famed Civilization series

    Jump

  • There is a full play through video from PotatoeMcWhiskey that's good to watch/skip through to get an idea of it.

    Look interesting, definitely pulled ideas from lots of places; the ability to form camps outside of cities reminds me of the Civ3 feature for example.

    It's on my look at in the next sale list I think.

  • BitTorrent is No Longer the ‘King’ of Upstream Internet Traffic

    Jump

  • 2M globally, or just per user?

  • Removed

    Internet restored in Côte d'Ivoire after submarine cable disruption

    Jump

  • Messed up internet to the entire south of Africa, Cloudflare has some graphs showing the effect on different countries. Caused problems for the big cloud providers regions in ZA too.

  • Mozilla Firefox is Working on a Tab Grouping Feature

    Jump

  • The vertical tab bar is still there though as it's apparently not removable? 😞

  • Jensen Huang says even free AI chips from his competitors can't beat Nvidia's GPUs

    Jump

  • And AMD or Intel are better? Everyone complains about the drivers.

  • You Don’t Need to Use Airplane Mode on Airplanes

    Jump

  • I thought that's what the Pico cells are for - each plane has a mini phone tower in it so phones happily connect to that instead of looking for ground stations

  • Decades after the US buried nuclear waste abroad, climate change could unearth it | melting ice sheets and rising seas could disturb waste from U.S. nuclear projects in Greenland and the Marshall Isla

    Jump

  • I thought depleted uranium was still used in weapons? The uranium itself is probably less than 1% of the total waste unfortunately, think of Fukushima, most of the waste is slightly radioactive water.
