  • Keir Starmer abandons plans for compulsory digital ID

    Jump

  • They publicly condemned Israel, committed to arresting Netanyahu if he ever came here, sanctioned much of the Israeli parliament, refused to join the US/Israel in attacking Iran, ramped up humanitarian aid for Palestine, stopped weapons exports to Israel, and formally recognised Palestine.

    I struggle to see this rabid support of Israel that Lemmy posters always seem to talk about.

  • They did not support Brexit.

  • Because unfortunately, all our politicians want it, and the public wants it too.

    Reddit and Lemmy are very much in the minority on OSA.

    Which is a shame, because I find the OSA to be stupid and unworkable.

  • Keir Starmer abandons plans for compulsory digital ID

  • That was already stopped a while ago.

    E: are people angry that it stopped?

  • Starmer tells Labour MPs his foreign trips can help fix cost of living crisis

    Jump

  • What a shit headline. Wtf is this misleading clickbait?

    I'm all for criticising Starmer on genuine missteps or clashes on policy (and oh boy could I list a few of those), but pretending these trips are the equivalent of a holiday to Benidorm is ridiculous.

    Keir Starmer has defended his frequent trips out of the country to Labour MPs, attempting to draw a direct link with the cost of living at home, which he warned would not be solved by isolationism.

    The prime minister told the meeting of the parliamentary Labour party (PLP) on Monday night that it was essential for him to be “in the room” for international negotiations on trade and defence, which would then have an impact on the domestic economy.

    He's right on this. Isolationism will not make things cheaper. It will not make our lives better. It will not make the continent more secure. It will not make this country or its people more prosperous.

    What kind of message does it send to other European leaders if they're all meeting and discussing international matters, and Starmer tells them he's not going?

    One of the few PM things Kier actually seems genuinely very adept at is foreign relations and international diplomacy, and people want him to stop? That's madness.

    This headline is the kind of rhetoric I'd expect from the Mail, Telegraph, or Express. Gutter journalism.

  • Android smartphone with spectacular hardware at a bargain price – Vivo iQOO 15 review

    Jump

  • There is more to a phone's specs than just the amount of storage...

    And 500€ for a phone with 256GB doesn't seem bad at all, so I'm not sure what you even mean there? If you want more ram and storage, there's the 580€ one, I guess.

  • ‘The streets are full of blood’: Iranian protests gather momentum as regime cracks down

  • Lemmy's Tankie infestation is probably the worst thing about this platform.

  • Surely you can say this about practically everything you put in a dishwasher.

    Dishwashers aren't really meant to be quick. They're meant to be efficient and set/forget.

  • After Micron's greedy decision, SK Hynix could also exit consumer DRAM and NAND business

    Jump

  • SK Hynix (and Samsung) is worse than Micron.

    Micron scrapped Crucial, the consumer brand they owned.

    SK Hynix and Samsung never even directly sold to consumers to begin with.

    SK Hynix and Samsung were the ones who signed deals with OpenAI on the same day for 40% of the entire fucking planet's DRAM supply that kicked off the DRAM panic buying to begin with! This mess is their fault!

    Micron are absolutely shifting to more profitable HBM production in order to make the most of the AI bubble, and they're fucking us over in doing so, but IMO what they're doing pales in comparison to the levels of fuckery that SK/Samsung have done with the shady backroom OpenAI deals. I repeat... 40% of Earth's RAM production.

    It really angers me that those two have so far escaped media wrath while Micron was exclusively taking the hit for an entire shady industry. Blame all of these fuckers. Blame OpenAI. Blame Nvidia.

  • Ah, the "you also participate in society" line.

    I guess nobody should ever make any moral stand, ever, because living in the 21st century means you've indirectly supported evil by default.

  • Tories would ban under-16s from social media

    Jump

  • That's true. I had it in my head that her cabinet wasn't all that different from Sunak's, but if I'm incorrect on that or there has been a cabinet reshuffle I'm unaware of, then that changes things somewhat, I agree.

  • China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible

    Jump

  • No, they aren't Marxist-leninist.

    There's no overthrowing of capitalism. China is capitalist as fuck.

    Socialism is not "when the government does things".

  • Tories would ban under-16s from social media

    Jump

  • Whenever the Tories say they'd do something, remember to ask why they didn't do so in the 14 years they had, most of which with a decent sized majority.

    I don't disagree that social media is immensely harmful, especially for the youth. I can see very good arguments for there being more stringent age requirements.

    But why didn't you pursue this before if it's what you believe in?

  • Nobody mentioned child labour.

    Thinking gay and trans people should have human rights does not mean you must be fine with child labour.

  • That's probably because you're a piece of shit.

  • we need more users

    Jump

  • Lemmy copying Reddit with the downvotes system is something that really frustrates me.

    The downvote button is one of the most toxic things about Reddit. Nobody uses it the way it is supposedly intended to be used.

    Lemmy saw that and thought great, let's copy.

    I don't know whether they did it because they wanted to make a straight up Reddit clone, or whether they mistakenly thought Lemmy users would be above that kind of behaviour (lol), but either way it was a mistake IMO. It just encourages division.

  • Are you serious? Of course people should care if people are using their power and influence to strip certain people of their rights.

    State capitalism is not the same as Marxism.
