Well that brand integration was obviously a success πŸ˜‚

I assume Wayne's World still got their cut from Pepsi, Advil and Dominos.

In other reporting it did seem he was proactive in contacting the parliamentary authorities once he received advice on the donations. The spouse situation is tricky because his wife isn't an elected official or even a political operative. However I doubt the donations would have been made of she doesn't sometimes appear with her husband on official occasions.

Also the pearl clutching by the Tories is hypocrisy of the highest order given some of the stuff their members got away with.

Still it's not a good look and hopefully the party officials are making sure other ministers are up-to-date on all declarations. You don't want this to be the start of a string of stories.

Magic Wormhole - it's been around awhile but it's super useful for moving files from your internet connected server to your phone without going through multiple hops copying stuff to you local machine and finding a cable.

That's how it starts. Before you know it you'll be buying no-name smart bulbs from Ali Baba and investigating custom firmware for full local only control.

Very binary, much wow.

We are about two thirds of the way in and Disney's terrible colour space handling aside it's a banger of a show. I have vague memories of the original TV adaptation but certainly prefer the modern one.

That was my thought at the time. There were multiple Brexit's being discussed during the referendum. It was a recipe for no one being happy with the result.

If we ever decide to go back in I hope we've learnt our lesson and either make parliament make the deal and be accountable for it or a two stage referendum, in principle and then on the negotiated entrance terms.

You can play bedrock on Linux using either the mcpelauncher or setting up waydroid. Both require you to have purchased it via Google play.

This is a shame but it does show the asymmetry involved in moderation in the fediverse. Can we learn any lessons from the other players in the fediverse or is it just a resources thing?

[–] stsquad@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

Quite. Go to the big services that know how to moderate and maintain (and importantly pay for) a public square. But also encourage the interesting ones enable federation for wider coverage.

There are some advantages to algorithms for discovery - it's certainly is more user friendly. It's just a shame they tend to enshitify or become toxic. Bluesky seem to offer an API of sorts to plug in feeds you create. Perhaps open algorithms are more accountable?
