  • That could happen to the washing machine whether it's "smart" or not.

  • You'll need a broadcasting licence for that, mate.

  • c2c being the name of the train operator. I know it's in the article but it sounds like some kind of acronym in the title.

  • Blame the shitty UK legislation. Bluesky, Reddit etc are just complying with it.

  • Lemmy.zip blocks uk users on its front end but I think its contents is still federated.

  • All zero tourists must be furious.

  • Honestly I have no idea. I guess they could just block it if they don't comply?

  • Yeah I think that's what they'll be doing, seeing what the impact is to usage and also iron out any kinks before it gets rolled out to everyone.

  • I'd say 10 over on any 30mph zone is crazy. These are usually in built up areas so there's no excuse for it.

    but there are many roads where 20 over is still fine.

    Can't say I agree. National speed limit is either 60 or 70mph depending on the road and I wouldn't want to do 20mph over on either.

  • Under the new UK law, lemmynsfw would also need to have some kind of age verification for UK users.

  • I don't think it's been fully rolled out to everyone yet, as they don't have to start enforcing it until a later date.

  • In the UK you're allowed 10% (and I think +2mph) due to car speedo's not being 100% accurate.

  • If she was caught doing 38mph in a 30, then her car was probably displaying 40 or 41mph as the speedo's always report you going a higher speed than you're going. So I'd say that's pretty bad, especially when you've been caught several times before in such a short space of time.

  • I thought this question was going to be about whether they opened outside or inside.

  • But Putin won’t because he’s too far into a delusion that was first one of grandeur but has become one of sunk cost.

    I've read because they're on a war economy, stopping the war would be catastrophic for Russia's economy, and probably to Putin himself. But also continuing the war is also doing serious damage. That's why Putin will never agree to any ceasefire.

  • I think "buzz" is used a lot to people near Manchester too.

    People from Bolton (UK) get very defensive about the exact pronunciation of Bolton too. I heard this conversation several times between two colleagues:

     
        
    Colleague 1 (c1): "... that's because you're from Bolton"
    Colleague 2 (c2): "It's not Bolton, it's Bolton"
    C1: "What? That's what I said, Bolton"
    C2: "No, you said Bolton, it's Bolton"
    C1: "You're saying the same thing, Bolton"
    C2: "No, Bolton"
    C1: "That's what I'm saying!"
    Me: "what. the. FUCK"
    
    
      

    If you've ever seen Brooklyn Nine Nine and Jake would say "Nikolaj" and then Charles would correct him saying the exact same thing, it was exactly like that, but saying "Bolton" instead.

    Also I heard several people from Wigan say "A packet of crisp" and not "A packet or crisps".

    Also forgot about this one: I used to live in South Wales, and people would say "Premark" instead of "Primark". They'd think I was the weird one for saying it like Primark.

  • My wife has an Apple watch and has to charge it every day. It would drive me absolutely nuts. There's been times where it's run out mid-workout or during a long walk. Meanwhile my Garmin Forerunner can go 2 weeks on a single charge.

  • How are PeerTube instances funded? I'd imagine that the cost of running an instance is significantly higher than a Lemmy instance.

  • True, but in order to make it a healthy viable alternative to centralised platforms then there needs to be a financial incentive for creators to use peertube. I guess any creators who give a shit about this kind of thing could upload their content to both platforms, but doing so could have an impact on their YouTube earnings.

    Early youtube was beautiful precisely because it was normal people making videos as a hobby, not trying to earn money.

    It was also a novelty as it as very new, but the quality of content being put out now is significantly higher than it was in 2005.
