A spokesman for Kemi Badenoch said it would be “wrong to infer any prejudice” from the report and that it was “essential that we are able to talk about these issues without the media deliberately misleading their readers for the sake of easy headlines”.

They're right, it'd be wrong to infer something so explicit.

That's because Starmer made getting stuff done in the first hundred days a major part of his campaign.

Tbf, there is like 350 million of you lot, that's like 75% of the Anglosphere, so it makes sense you'd have the most news.

I love the implication that only Americans speak English.

Why has TikTok got to be the carcinisation of websites. YouTube is TikTok, Instagram is TikTok, fucking porn websites are TikTok. Soon you'll be looking up a solution to a video game puzzle and the website will be a 9:16 video of text-to-speech reading out 8 paragraphs of what should've be text.

I think it's generally a bad move trying to explain the technology first, it's how people tried to advertise Mastodon when the Tumblr exodus happened and I bounced straight off it. I looked at the list of instances and they were all stuff like "a Mastodon instance for sci-fi nerds" and I couldn't get over the inertia of tying myself to that designated interest.

What we need to do is get people to create accounts and experience the fediverse and then we can point them at examples of the tech if they want to know more, stuff like "that person you replied to is on a different instance and you're able to speak to each other because of ~federation~".

What do you mean by handwriting features? I've played around with Write a bit and it has some cool features (I really like the ability to make a series of stokes a link) but I wouldn't call them handwriting features.

That's what the author says IANA will do based on the precedent of .yu, but IANA hasn't actually said what they'll do yet.

I doubt they'll kill the domain outright, there's too many long established websites using it and too much money behind those domains. It helps that the Chagos Island transfer is a lot less messy than the breakup of Yugoslavia (hopefully at least as it hasn't actually happened yet).

This looks a lot like the government trying to get ahead of a story, because I've never heard anyone accuse him of having a women problem (well, anyone credible, Duffield doesn't count).

handwriting app that works on a lot of platforms including Linux which cannot be said about most handwritten note-taking applications

To be fair, we have it quite good in this regard between Xournalpp and Rnote. Certainly areas where we only have worse options.

So it does, apologies to Gary Overacre. I don't know why, but it just triggered my AI image alarm.
