Tories are cooking...whatever crap they can to appeal to their voter base.

That same voter base that voted Brexit because of some stupid dream they had that things were better in the past

Pulling at the same chords, tories appealing to the same delusion that sending the youth to the army... Jesus...right out of the lunatic right playbook

Is there anyway of making money when this eventually does Not happen?

Should the UK government embrace the Fediverse? in c/askuk@feddit.uk
[–] IbnLemmy@feddit.uk 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Yes it should.

BBC have already started testing it and I suspect it's spearheading the eventual move. And it kind of makes sense, in that governments and large corporations are no longer beholden to tech companies for critical communications to its audience.

Spotify plans to raise prices this year and introduce new plans - GSMArena.com news in c/technology@beehaw.org

If the raise prices too much I'm going to finalise my plan to move to YouTube Music family plan. Additional bonus will be no more adds on YouTube.

Don't fall for this self hosting stuff. It's well meant and great for single tech enthusiasts, but with family, you won't have enough time to do the required upkeep and the whinning you will here from dependents when stuff goes wrong isn't worth it.

Who do you consider a Great Author of the last 50 years or so (first well-known work after 1970)? I'd like to get a feel for who's who in modern literature. Any language/culture. Fiction only. in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] IbnLemmy@feddit.uk 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Two authors I haven't surprisingly seen mentioned

Neil Gaiman is great. If you haven't read his works yet, start with *the ocean at the end of the lane". A wonderful, short read.

This second one is going to be controversial.

George RR Martin. The books are actually well written, and yes the final book probably won't get written, but it won't take away from your enjoyment. He is a very good writer.

Jonathan Glazer Condemns ‘Holocaust Being Hijacked by an Occupation’ in Oscar Speech in c/politics@lemmy.world

The media has always misquoted, lied, smeared, attacked, anyone who speaks out in support of the Palestinians.

Add Glazer to the long list of casualties.

Early Adopters of Microsoft’s AI Bot Wonder if It’s Worth the Money (www.wsj.com)
 

Artificial-intelligence aide handles email, meetings and other things, but its price and limited use have some skeptical

Microsoft’s new artificial-intelligence assistant for its bestselling software has been in the hands of testers for more than six months and their reviews are in: useful, but often doesn’t live up to its price.

The company is hoping for one of its biggest hits in decades with Copilot for Microsoft 365, an AI upgrade that plugs into Word, Outlook and Teams. It uses the same technology as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and can summarize emails, generate text and create documents based on natural language prompts.

Companies involved in testing say their employees have been clamoring to test the tool—at least initially. So far, the shortcomings with software including Excel and PowerPoint and its tendency to make mistakes have given some testers pause about whether, at $30 a head per month, it is worth the price

Organisers of pro-Palestine marches fear ban on Saturday’s protest in London (www.theguardian.com)
 

Wasn't planning on going, but am now seriously considering it. Why is Cruella getting involved.

I don't know anyone who doesn't have sympathy for the Israelis that were impacted by the Hamas attack, but 10k Palestinians killed in 30 days is more than all the civilian casualties in the Ukraine war todate.

Wanting an end to Palestinian deaths is not the same as supporting Hamas.

Self-driving buses that go wherever you want? How the UK is trying to revolutionise public transport (theconversation.com)
 

There’s a quiet transport revolution going on in different corners of the UK, from “the world’s most ambitious and complex autonomous bus system” in Edinburgh, to a minibus network in Milton Keynes that picks you up and drops you off (almost) wherever you want. This long read contains clues to a “small vehicle-small infrastructure” vision of public transport that is likely to be a big part of all our futures.

The numbers of members shown on the communities page (top left in BoostforLemmy Android) are the number of members from that specific Lemmy server, rather than the total number of members in the community.

If its a bug the can we fix this and if its not a bug can we get the total number of members across all servers shown?
