Sony got a lot of shit for making their phones skinnier and 21:9 but I honestly think it was great

The screen being less wide meant typing one handed was easier, and I frequently have my apps split one on top and one below

If only their phones weren't so bloody expensive upon release. It's always the same with them. Good phones that cost way too much, they get panned in reviews for it, then 3-5 months later they drop the prices because people aren't buying at the full price... but by that point the reviews are already out there and public opinions are set! So stupid!

It isn't. And the only source in the article is that a far-right conspiracy theory site said they're considering it.

after reports in Guido Fawkes suggested it was possible.

That's the only source? A far-right conspiracy website?

In fairness, what better place is there for Substack users to see it and consider leaving the platform?

Indeed.

I'm not even making a judgement on Corbyn here. People can love him or hate him, either way it doesn't change the fact that by splintering support, under our voting system, you only strengthen the opposing side.

It's like... one of the headline problems with FPTP as a system.

At the very least, Sultana and Corbyn could've joined or allied with an existing party they align with, the Greens. Seriously look at Corbyn's recent remarks and his open letter, and Sultana's too.

There's basically no distinction between them and the Greens, yet they're choosing to battle against them in each constituency? It's just electoral self-harm.

Farage must be licking his lips at this delicious bit of vote splitting.

Sigh, we're getting Reform next by the looks of it...

Yes but remember climate is not the only factor in food inflation. This estimated 1.1% would be on top of other factors.

E: oops, missed out 'not'

Don't forget attacking people with sledgehammers and ram-raiding a factory with people working in it.

E: the usual Lemmy tankies think attacking people with sledgehammers is fine I guess

Live and let live is pretty much the antithesis of organised religion

I'm a very vocal critic of LLMs, I think they're so overhyped and overused it's hard to believe.

But I'm also getting really tired of people purposely putting extreme effort into tricking the LLM into saying something harmful if someone were to follow it blindly, just so they can make a clickbait headline out of it.

And what the hell is up with the major "ChatGPT is Satanist [if you instruct it to be]" angle? Are we really doing the Satanist moral panic again?

ffs, criticise OpenAI for being closed af, being wasteful, being strong political lobbyists, for stealing work, etc. You don't need to push disingenuous stuff like this.

Oh look, one of Lemmy's many resident tankies.

Nazi gold didn't disappear after the Nazis fell. They still pocketed it all, despite knowing where all that wealth came from, and did fuck all to help rebuild Europe.

Other things like their appeasing attitude towards Russia, reluctance to allow weapons exports to Ukraine, and willingness to export weapons to awful regimes are all unambiguously current.
