The whole point of bringing out a new generation of hardware is to make it work in much better ways of operation than the last one. By default it is not going to run the older generation of games because it doesn’t work in the same way. Now they could spend a lot of effort in making it able to play the old games and work in the old way, but what is their incentive to do that, compared say in starting work on the next generation or releasing the console earlier?

No one secured the ladder or the roof or responded to alerts of a gunman on the roof. There’s only two angles where you could shoot the ear without it entering the head, must be a million to one shot… but the real question to ask is…. a teenage boy looking at porn?… that is crazy!

I said this to my uncle once “me and my dad bought stuff at auction then probably spent more fixing it up than it was worth”. He said “but it helped you didn’t it?”, yeah it definitely did. Fixing stuff definitely helps the soul, if it helps you, do it and don’t worry about the cost.

Nah I think they just got a judge who gives a shit about humanity…

The Section of the Public Order Act 1986 lays out rules for how police can control “public assemblies” – defined as a gathering of two or more people in a public place.

Police officers can issue them if they “reasonably believe” that the protest “may result in serious public disorder, serious damage to property or serious disruption to the life of the community”.

It can also do so if it belives the purpose of the organisers is to “intimidate others”.

What surprised me was this is the older legislation. I thought they would use the newer anti protest legislation which even legislates against a protest being too noisy.

I think you’re technically correct in this instance.

Capitalism has a solution to the tent problem though

UK - The home secretary is proposing new laws to restrict the use of tents by homeless people, arguing that many of them see it as a “lifestyle choice”.

Yes it seems they want copyright when it suits them and not when it doesn’t.

When you have a team lead, technical lead, QA lead, FE lead, BE lead, Engineering Manager and head of engineering, I think most SMs give up trying to get the team to self manage, seems like no one else is interested in that!

UBI has come to mean not Universal and just guaranteed a minimum income…. It’s not a bad thing but it isn’t UBI.

In practice the same as the UK had in the 80s and still does to some extent. Difference being guaranteed housing, childcare payments , school meals, access to education/ HE . Not just an arbitrary figure which may or may not cover your individual needs and may or may not keep up with inflation.

Incognito mode just switches on a ton more tracking cause everyone wants to know what your secret searches are, rather than the boring shit you usually search!

Getting hit by a paywall to read this article, maybe made the point better than the article!

They are led by by the “protect paedos” and “create terrorism” gang. Unfortunately most people are too dumb or disinterested to look beyond the popularist slogans.

He was CEO for 10 years. They are trying to put a good spin on it but he fucked up and and has done huge damage to the company and his own career.

Don’t forget “Ram man” 👍

I think it’s like jet lag. We have our own natural time and sleep rhythms. If you go to bed late yes your tired the next day, but your time sleep rhythm is not affected, your body knows it is short of sleep. When someone messes with the clock your body is out of sync for a number of days.

Daylight saving is supposed to save a huge amount of energy, and I am all for that…, but could we maybe still not do it?.. Maybe just hibernate for the winter…, save loads more energy and, yes, solved it … and…sleep 😁

Ironic if most UK users just start using VPNs to access content no longer available in UK.

Probably means she’s believing what they told her!

As for the Tories I think this is the ideal extension to their snoopers charter.

Yes I imagine it might be!

Unless you work in recruitment or porn…

Firstly know you are not alone, lots of people feel like this. I suggest a hobby which includes exercise and meeting people. Exercise releases endorphins and generally energises you. Meeting people helps bring you out of yourself and focus on something else. I do gym classes as it means I am around people but don’t have to interact too much. It’s the same people so I say hi and maybe chit chat a little. A gym buddy is good if you can find one, we never liked to bail on each other so used to go quite regularly. Swimming always makes me happy and my cat! (She likes to paddle but not really what I meant!)
