False claims about weather manipulation and geoengineering have been spreading online. What are the facts?
Tory seat total would also be a record low
Some proper knife edge seats in there.
Ashford on a 0.08%. If 40000 people turn up, that's a margin of 32 people.
Or is that 16, since it's a swing? Either way, 10pm onwards will be interesting!
Won't someone please think of the unopened pork markets?!
They've got the big scissors ready and everything!
I was wondering "when are the conservative supporting media going to start flipping so they're on the winning team?".
Looks like "the day before" is the answer!
To give to the birds, right?
Right?
Of course :)
CVE-2024-6387. To be honest, we have other mitigations that would have made a breach unlikely. But better safe than sorry!
Now that I think about it, activitypub must be a nice little wiggle-around for the great firewall. As unless they whitelist (I honestly don't know), all you need is a federated instance that isn't blocked.
HEVC is almost entirely down the the licensing. This section of the wikipedia page details it pretty well.
The tl;dr is that the LA group wanted to hike the fees significantly, and that combined with a fear of locking in led to the mozilla group not to support HEVC.
And it's annoying at times. Some of my security cameras are HEVC only at full resolution, which means I cannot view them in Firefox.
Ex-cabinet minister reiterates backing for Donald Trump and claims ‘Biden doesn’t like Britain’ in leaked recording
I'm shocked, I say. Shocked!
The idea of an app being used to gather additional datea from a customer!
I'll let people in on a secret: I've quietly been working to that list for Unitedkingdom and UK Politics when I try to make decisions on whether a source is valid or not. That, and reminding people that DMG has other outlets, such as ThisIsMoney.
If people would like to codify it more formally, we can do that.
I was eagerly anticipating "I'm looking for a gift for my aunt".

> Eat_my_yarmulke is on a quest to complete the easy treasure trail collection log (OSRS lets players track the drops they get from the game's various activities via logs, which turn green when completed), but they're also operating under multiple self-imposed restrictions. For one thing, they're playing on Ironman Mode, which means they can't do things like trade with other players. Second, they're skilling, meaning they're deliberately keeping their combat level at its lowest possible rank. > > So, that means they can't get clue scrolls from other players or from fighting NPCs. They have to restrict themselves to pickpocketing roaming NPC fascists. Even worse, they can't actually complete all the clue scrolls they pick up: some of them might have requirements like "Wear steel armour" that are beyond anyone deliberately keeping their defence stat low. > > The cynical among you might be tempted to accuse our poor player of automating some of this hard work, but it's a claim they brush off on Reddit. In response to a player asking "how much the script cost," eat_my_yarmulke responded "First of all, rude. Secondly my Razer Naga Trinity was like 60 bucks at best buy and has held up very well to all the clicking, would recommend," and told another that "The pickpocketing itself would only take like a hundred hours but with completing the clues it's around a thousand for me."
One of the first lessons from my instructor was to push the gear stick from the right with your palm for 1/2, top for 3/4, and left for anything else.
That way, there is less chance of shifting from one section to another. Useful when you car sometimes needs a downshift on the motorway, and 4th is adjacent to R.
Shipley candidate Sir Philip Davies says it is "nobody's business" whether he placed the bet.
But new code of practice is criticised for failing to protect drivers from "sharks" in the industry.
Did your pfp get deleted, or would you like one to be made?
@wren@feddit.uk has a flair for MS Paint, and would probably be keen to make you one!
So that's why people have started modifying their cars to have the indicators always-on!
Thousands of ticket holders have begun filtering into the site for the world-famous festival.
Election candidates have access to panic alarms and a named police contact to liaise with on security matters.
No plug! It was just a PCI card with breakout cables. (Which I should definitely track down soon!)
I still have my PCI 0404 somewhere. I should really work out where, before it gets accidentally binned!
This is good feedback, the Mint team could definitely streamline things, maybe even with a "help pick".
Because it's not immediately apparent which to use (Cinnamon/MATE/Xfce).
I'm not sure how the resolve the mirror issue, sadly.
The cost of serving the data directly would be very high, but doing so would avoid scaring people. Unfortunately, it's hard for them to 100% guarantee every mirror is safe (even though they are!), which means they have to leave instructions on how to verify.
Selling pre-loaded USB sticks would be very cool, but people would have to be interested enough to spend £20.
It makes me sad when every year, an exemption is justified to continue using them.
It definitely threw me the first time I was out of the house.
I decided the best solution was just to limit alerts to non-sensitive things.
While I'm generally very big on privacy, I really don't give a monkeys if Apple/Google is relaying a message that says "Cat in garden!"
What is it you're expecting to find at the bottom of this hole you're digging?
And a very important section, that does not surprise me at all:
The low success rate of applications has been put down, in part, to an increasingly number of speculative applications being submitted. Industry reports show a rise in so called “phantom projects” in these cases, developers submit multiple applications for many sites, with the expectation being that very few will connect. These speculative and duplicate applications have seen the connections queue grow, increasing the work needed to progress projects.
It becomes a sad self-fulfilling prophecy. Applications take a long time to process, so companies fling lots in parallel, then only use the first to get through.
Which means that applications take even longer to get through.
This is now complete. Things seem a little snappier...Though that may be because everyone is disconnected! Various bits of generic software have also been patched to latest.
This shouldn't take long, hopefully this will clear a few of the cobwebs from last week's upgrades.

We're going to try to make the leap forward today. There will be some downtime while we attempt to do this. Rollback will be around 3pm if things are not working as expected.

Hello, I'm hoping to take the instance to 19.4 in the near future. Before doing this, I need to take pictrs up a few versions. This will take a while, so while 19.4 is in the works, it won't happen for a week or so.
Major changes in 19.4 (It's a big-un, and should bring a fair few useful improvements): https://join-lemmy.org/news/2024-06-07_-Lemmy_Release_v0.19.4-_Image_Proxying_and_Federation_improvements
If there are any things in this list you're curious about whether we'll be implementing, ask away.
Cheers, GA.
The food authorities said the instant ramen contained such high capsaicin levels consumers could be poisoned.
The Reform UK leader says he will not be cowed by the incident, which was caught on film.
Pay rise for Pennon Group CEO Susan Davy comes despite outrage over Devon diarrhoea outbreak caused by polluted water
The NHS says last week's cyber-attack means blood cannot be sorted at the same frequency.
I felt this might be worth the community discussing. Happy for people both on and off-instance to weigh in, though it is about this instance's interaction.
It's made doubly fun by the fact that the main owners of the lemmy project are admins on there. (If I understand correctly)
Title was brought over during the cross post.

> I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy's massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It's been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let's say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they're what's colloquially referred to as tankies. This wouldn't be much of an issue if they didn't regularly abuse their admin/mod status to censor and silence people who dissent with their political beliefs and for example, post things critical of China, Russia, the USSR, socialism, ... > > As an example, there was a thread today about the anniversary of the Tiananmen Massacre. When I was reading it, there were mostly posts critical of China in the thread and some whataboutist/denialist replies critical of the USA and the west. In terms of votes, the posts critical of China were definitely getting the most support. > > I posted a comment in this thread linking to "https://archive.ph/2020.07.12-074312/https://imgur.com/a/AIIbbPs" (WARNING: graphical content), which describes aspects of the atrocities that aren't widely known even in the West, and supporting evidence. My comment was promptly removed for violating the "Be nice and civil" rule. When I looked back at the thread, I noticed that all posts critical of China had been removed while the whataboutist and denialist comments were left in place. > > This is what the modlog of the instance looks like: > > ! > > Definitely a trend there wouldn't you say? > > When I called them out on their one sided censorship, with a screenshot of the modlog above, I promptly received a community ban on all communities on lemmy.ml that I had ever participated in. > > Proof: > > ! > > So many of you will now probably think something like: "So what, it's the fediverse, you can use another instance." > > The problem with this reasoning is that many of the popular communities are actually on lemmy.ml, and they're not so easy to replace. I mean, in terms of content and engagement lemmy is already a pretty small place as it is. So it's rather pointless sitting for example in /c/linux@some.random.other.instance.world where there's nobody to discuss anything with. > > I'm not sure if there's a solution here, but I'd like to urge people to avoid lemmy.ml hosted communities in favor of communities on more reasonable instances.
