  • UK fines Reddit $19 million for using children’s data unlawfully

    Jump

  • Well where's the proof that he created it? I'll happily stand corrected.

    I just think that if we're going to attack someone, it's probably a good idea to use facts that are true and not made up (it's likely that op just misremembered the details) otherwise it just puts doubt on any further valid points. I've no interest in defending the guy but I do think we should try and keep our facts straight when we criticise someone.

  • It was always the version of events that I've read.

    I just did a quick search and found this, a video claiming that he was a mod, but the majority of comments indicate it's not true and that it was debunked.

  • I'm not defending the guy but wasn't it that a mod of that subreddit added him as a mod as a joke? I don't think spez created it.

  • Banned Mullvad VPN TV ad criticizing United Kingdom escalating censorship and mass surveillance “And Then?”

    Jump

  • I try it every now and again but I simply don't "get" the format. This isn't an issue wtih Mastodon, it's just that style of social media, I had the same issue with Twitter. The vast majority of content seems to be people just dumping their thoughts into a post. I think it's because I have no interest in following people, but topics, which I find that Lemmy/Reddit easier to follow.

    Jump

  • Yep, the vast majority of people will pick the path of least resitance, and signing up to centralised services are usually very familiar and easy. Throw in the concept of instances / servers, and suddenly people are confused - they don't know what that means for their experience and it gives them a choice paralysis.

  • We conduct affairs of state in a building that’s riddled with asbestos and mice. Can’t Britain do any better? | Rupa Huq

    Jump

  • I like the idea of moving things up north, but I'm not sure if it's really practical given that Whitehall is in London and other key departments.

  • Then there is the “full decant” option, in which both houses would move while the job is done. Neither option comes cheap. It would be an estimated £8.4-£11.5bn and take 19 to 24 years for the full decant, whereas staying put would come at a whopping £11.8-£18.7bn and take somewhere between 38 and a staggering 61 years.

    Seems like the full decant option it is then?

    I've read that one of the reasons why repair jobs take so long is because some Lords refuse to have sessions is there's any visible building work going on in the chamber. So contractors need to stop, put things back and stop while there's a session going on and then continue when it's finished. And other staff complain if there's any slight bit of noise going on.

    If they can decant everyone out then this should surely help with that as contractors can work uninterrupted.

  • Do you think that blue collar work should come under the category of skilled work?

    Jump

  • "unskilled" directly refers to the amount of training a job requires to do it. Anyone can wash dishes or do a newspaper round without any training. It's not a skill to wash a plate properly.

    Anyone can do an unskilled job and be efficient at it in a short space of time.

    None of them required any training, anyone could have done those jobs.

  • BBC plans David Attenborough celebration for 100th birthday

    Jump

  • Although Attenborough is not vegan or even vegetarian himself, he has frequently used his platform to promote plant-based diets.

    In recent years, the broadcaster claims to have adopted a mostly vegetarian diet for environmental reasons and has cut red meat from his diet due to its environmental impact.

    In a 2019 interview with Radio Times, he said he no longer has the ‘same appetite for meat’ – blaming the state of the planet.

    However, he recognises his small consumption of poultry and fish is ‘middle-class hypocrisy’ and says it leaves his conscience feeling ‘troubled’.

    source

    He recognises his own hypocracy but looks to have vastly reduced his meat consumption. Nobody's perfect, but he's hardly totally ignorant about it.

  • UK bank bosses plan to set up Visa and Mastercard alternative amid Trump fears

    Jump

  • However, the UK is taking a less aggressive stance, with Visa and Mastercard working within the initiative.

    Both companies are part of the new funders group, giving them a stake and a say alongside a large number of banks and payment companies including Santander UK, NatWest, Nationwide, Lloyds Banking Group, the ATM network body Link, and Coventry Building Society.

    I'm confused, Visa and MasterCard are involved in the project that's looking to replace them?

  • Why this school will ditch a shirt, tie and blazer from its uniform

    Jump

  • I'm still in favour of ditching school uniforms entirely and just mandating that they can't have any branding on their clothes.

    If schools want to have a uniform, they should pay for it and not charge the parents.
