  • UK watchdog hits Imgur owner with fine as promised

    Jump

  • Imgur has been offline in the UK since the original investigation. Do they even want to be in the UK market?

  • (UK) New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks

    Jump

  • I guess to would have to look at the suicide rates in other populations coming out of COVID.

    COVID and the associated turmoil certainly did have an effect on the mental health of the country.

  • Is the Raspberry Pi Still an Affordable SBC? I Don't Think So

    Jump

  • There are a fair number of third party boards based on the RP2040/RP2050 silicon. Even esphome can target it even though it originally targeted the esp32.

    The silicon itself is pretty nice although the original had done problems with deep sleep.

  • Is the Raspberry Pi Still an Affordable SBC? I Don't Think So

    Jump

  • Are they as well supported? There are lots of SBCs out there but if they are only supported by vendor kernels and have no documentation then i'd rather pay the Pi premium.

    ETA: that said for a lot of stuff microcontrollers are a much better bet.

  • More CUDA please

    Jump

  • a long time ago I wrote a program as part of my third year project to sort and rank potential hydrogen bonds in tRNA based on crystallography data. I wonder if my supervisor ever used it going forward.

  • What's an objectively terrible movie that you love anyway?

    Jump

  • Have you tried the latest one?

  • What's an objectively terrible movie that you love anyway?

    Jump

  • It was a pretty big hit at the time but the production costs got so out of control I don't think it made it's money back. I'm sure in the long run it's done ok.

  • How Vibe Coding Is Killing Open Source

    Jump

  • They are pretty good at summarisation. If I want to catch up with a long review thread on a patch series I've just started looking at I occasionally ask Gemini to outline the development so far and the remaining issues.

  • Can anyone explain the expansion of space to me?

    Jump

  • As to why this doesn't happen on local scales: gravity has a tendency to hold nearby things together. And closer still, atomic forces.

    For now. As I understand it eventually space will be so stretched out even atoms will degenerate.

  • Mattermost say they will not clarify what license the project is under

    Jump

  • Do they also insist on a CLA so they can relicense contributions?

  • "When my time comes I want to be buried face down. That way whoever doesn't like me can kiss my ass." - Red Forman

    Jump

  • I only know because that's where I've reached with my Voyager watch through with my kids. It even got a "that was a good episode" praise from the eldest as well as an appreciation of how bad ass Janeway is 😀

  • "When my time comes I want to be buried face down. That way whoever doesn't like me can kiss my ass." - Red Forman

    Jump

  • I thought the episode was "Year of Hell, part two"?

  • I'm foss plus steam

    Jump

  • Even Stalman treats games as a special category given the artistic game assets. I think he'd still prefer the engine was FLOSS though and I assume the DRM is definitely verboten.

  • Redot Engine LTS 26.1 is now stable, includes enhancements and fixes

    Jump

  • What was wrong with working with Godot that made them want to fork?

  • Which one are you?

    Jump

  • I guess somewhere between 6 and 7....urm 6/7 👐 (and my kids say I don't understand memes 😅).

  • Brandon Sanderson’s Literary Fantasy Universe ‘Cosmere’ Picked Up by Apple TV

    Jump

  • I've heard of him from his contributions to Wheel of Time but I don't think I've read any of his other stuff. He sounds quite prolific given this "universe" seems to encompas multiple series of books.

  • UK to create its own FBI in biggest police reform in nearly 200 years

    Jump

  • MI5 aren't a law enforcement agency but a intelligence organisation. They do work with the police though.

    Jump

  • somehow I’m angrier about this than you guys.

    Perhaps your news sources are giving a slightly biased view of what's going on in the UK?

    It's certainly not illegal to protest in the UK - but there have always been public safety concerns. The right to protest doesn't give protesters free reign to cause massive disruption as some of the more controversial tactics of "Extinction Rebellion" had. While Magna Carta was an important document in our history its not an inviolable constitution - for one things most of us are not Baron's. We've always had magistrates and non-jury Judge trails - the current proposals don't abolish them but do change the boundaries of what will automatically be a jury based trial. We shall see if they get through the legislature unopposed.

    Jump

  • I was mostly thinking of things like county lines gangs who exploit our current fragmented police system to fall between the cracks.

    I'm upset by the recent PA arrests but i have some sympathy for the police here. They have been put in this situation by the government proscribing the org and they have to enforce the law. The protesters know this of course - almost any other formulation of the words "action", "support" and "Palestine" would be fine.
