  • Labour aren't smart though. They believe FPTP gives them an advantage and thus we're destined to misery under the conservatives as soon as the party gathers together the resources to bribe farage into disbanding reform

  • That's honestly fine. Everybody deserves fair representation.

    If we'd had PR a decade ago and the disenfranchised had had a voice in parliament then perhaps we never would have been dragged out of the EU.

  • Boost has user tagging as well.

    Only issue is the tag and report dialogs look exactly alike and multiple times I've unknowingly clicked report in error. I'm kinda surprised I never got criticised for abusing the report function when all I've written is "pro-russia" or "idiot"

  • Nick Frost disables comments on Harry Potter post after backlash to HBO casting

  • Perhaps it wasn't true the books then, but movie Snape was a believable age to have been at school at the same time as Harry's parents. It's just for whatever reason the author made the parents ridiculously young

  • Why do some drivers turn off the signal sound so quickly?

    Jump

  • "Mirror, signal, manoeuvre" is what we're taught in the UK. So according to our highway code you're acting correctly,but obvs that may be different elsewhere.

    Basically you only signal after you've confirmed there is space and that it is safe to do so, therefore the time between indicating and actually acting is minimal.

    The main problem you see is some people drive aggressively and use signalling as a demand that others make space for them, move out of their way etc. That's not how it's meant to work.

  • Alan Rickman was the absolute perfect casting for Snape. Nobody else could have brought him to life so well and so true to the books.

    Of the entire film cast I think everyone could have been replaced except for Snape, therefore it does make sense to be bold and try something different in his casting for the new show.

  • Indeed.

    For many of us Harry Potter was a significant part of our childhoods. It's a great story with a satisfying ending. There was incredible excitement for each book, and the films weren't bad either.

    The world is already miserable enough I'm not willing to expunge something that has brought me joy.

    We absolutely should denounce JK Rowling and her abhorrent statements. I have no idea why people continue to give her a platform. She's one of the names on my filter list because I refuse to let her vile thoughts be given any of my attention.

  • Schools are useless shit anyway you learn fuck all apart from how to speak, read, and argue and think

    But this is precisely a failure of education. We don't pay teachers well so there's no incentive for good ones to stay.

    Class sizes are too large so individuals can easily fall behind unnoticed. Or the opposite, talented kids get bored and aren't challenged because the class can only move at the pace of the slowest individual.

    Too much of education is steeped in tradition and no attempts are made to make the syllabus relevant to the real world.

    Schooling isn't tailored to the individual so you're forced to learn the way your teacher dictates when an alternative approach may suit you better.

  • Is there any evidence to suggest micro plastics are causing issues? My conspiracy is microplastics are simply being pushed as the latest scapegoat for society's issues. It's an attempt to distract us and redirect us from rising up against the oligarchs who are destroying our society.

  • What you're describing aren't issues with Wayland.

    Your complaints are that you're using old versions and poorly designed software.

    Those aren't Wayland issues they're poor management and lack of investment

  • I don't feel the need to block it entirely, what I'd prefer is a mechanism to demote their content so it ranks lower in the algorithm.

    Similar to how Kagi search let's you re-prioritise different sites.

  • Blaze is basically a human repost bot. It's frustrating that a single individual with so many alts dominates the content on Lemmy.

    I want to see Lemmy full of content and positive engagement but there also needs diversity in the people creating or curating that content.

  • UK government take emergency control of British Steel

  • It's also worth noting that it wouldn't just be china profiting financially. It would create a dependence on china for an essential material.

    Given how rocky International relationships are at present we need to consider how we would manufacture weapons and vehicles should we find ourselves in a major conflict.

    If Europe is at war with russia it's unlikely china would willingly provide the steel we need.

  • UK government take emergency control of British Steel

    Jump

  • What I read elsewhere that made a lot more sense is the Chinese owners, Jingye, intended to turn off the furnaces in a way that it would effectively never be possible to use them again without incurring a lot of time and extraordinary cost.

    In doing so Britain would have no choice but to purchase steel from China.

    Therefore even if it's going to be expensive for the government to maintain in the long term it will be a better deal for Britain than letting china monopolise an essential material.
