  • Ministers vow to tackle England’s ‘entrenched divides’ in A-level results

    Jump

  • I wonder if they are going to change the stupid system of pumping money into failing schools until the are "outstanding" and then slowly reduce funding because they obviously don't need it, until the school is failing again...

  • Europe Finally Embraces Air Conditioning as Heat Waves Hit Hard

    Jump

  • If you are getting a heat pump then your impact on the climate will probably be better than your current radiator configuration. Especially as more renewables are brought online.

  • Labour says firms will be penalised for late payments to suppliers

    Jump

  • Good!

  • What are some events in history that most people would be surprised happened in parallel or at least within the same time period?

  • Christopher Lee?

  • Chippie owner given ‘devastating’ £40,000 fine by Home office for allegedly illegal hire

    Jump

  • There is the point where if the person had valid identification, and National Insurance, and was paid via HMRC, that the onus should be on notifying the business of a change of status. Whether that's the student or HMRC I don't know. They would notify the business on a change of required tax.

  • Metallica copyright strikes U.S. government

    Jump

  • Not even in the slightest. Metallica went far above and beyond everyone else hunting down little old ladies to sue.

    99% of bands didn't make money from album sales, which is what makes all the hand wrangling over Spotify funny. Musicians idolise a world that never really existed.

  • Labour housing plans could destroy 215,000 hectares of nature in England, analysis shows

    Jump

  • There are 28 million families in the UK. [1]

    Your article implies there are 25 million houses and 1 million is empty. [2]

    The empty houses in the photos are not suitable for living in and should be condemned if they haven't already. Rebuilding a mid-terrace house is not simple and even after blow all of that we managed 1 million out of the 4 million required to at least have one home per family. That sounds like a terrible plan to work on the most expensive work and ultimately not make a dent in the issue.

  • X11 forked, Denmark moves to Linux, Android ROMs are in trouble: Linux & Open Source News [@6m12s]

    Jump

  • An unstable misogynist, anti-vaxxer making racist statements decides to make their own version of X11. With hookers and blackjack.

    https://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2025/06/06/msg032747.html

    I wouldn't waste your time even reporting on it. All their submitted patches to X11 were just refactoring, and even then they managed to break tests and fail to compile.

  • Weren't you in power over those 10 years?

    Surely you should have done something about it rather than waiting until now to complain.

  • With the Legion Go S, we can now directly compare performance between official builds of SteamOS and Windows

    Jump

  • Because DirectX is more than a graphics API.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX

    A fair amount of what used to make DirectX an everything API has been deprecated, but if you are already using Windows stuff for networking and audio, then you may as well use the graphics APIs too.

  • I do think Proton gets a little too much credit.

    Why? Valve has been sponsoring all these projects for a really long time. While wine existed before that, it wouldn't be anywhere near the shape thats its currently in because gaming was not its main focus. There have been loads of gaming bugs and sharp edges that have been around wine for a long time until Valve put in the money and devs to fix them.

  • For those of you who think it sounds weird, it's not an uncommon practice as it is basically the same as Most Favoured Nation policy that a lot of industries use.

    You get paid the amount requested, unless someone requests more (and its agreed to) and you automatically get paid that much.

  • Why does Signal want a phone number to register if it's supposedly privacy first?

    Jump

  • Also if anyone else wrote it, there would be so much savaging of weasel words.

    They brag that they don't retain this data, so when governments request historical data they don't have it.

    They don't say that they don't provide it for anyone else to retain, so if they are given the to and from to process the message, and provide this to the CIA to retain then all of this security would be useless but would also fulfill all of the claims here.

  • Why does Signal want a phone number to register if it's supposedly privacy first?

    Jump

  • No.

    We have been exploring techniques to further reduce the amount of information that is accessible to the service, and the latest beta release includes changes designed to move Signal incrementally closer to the goal of hiding another piece of metadata: who is messaging whom.

    They haven't hidden it yet. It's a goal.
