I think it will be fairly narrow in scope, with both sides of the Atlantic trying to spin it into a big win, which they both need right now.

However it wouldn’t surprise me if Keir has managed to create a deal to the UK’s detriment in a misguided effort at maintaining the “special relationship”.

It feels like both are waiting, or even relying on, for the other to implode.

These Mavicas could become popular again now as retro tech. There’s a lo-fi aesthetic growing in photo and video that’s all about compression artefacts and old image sensors. Physical media and its inconveniences is also having a moment as a novelty and maybe even a broader movement.

I think it’s uncertain for now. A majority of 6 votes is still a win but it’s also an incredibly unconfident win.

Runcorn is supposed to be the kind of place Reform keep being tipped to sweep but even in a byelection they’ve only managed a win by a hair’s breadth.

Reform seem to have a lot more work to do to win over voters to reliably take seats at a general election.

Of course, there’s still 4+ plus years for Labour to lose more voters also.

What kind of person leaves the crust? Pizza ain’t pizza without the crust.

I used to read them, they often had good in depth tutorials. The Format branding has been going for a long time, I can remember reading Amiga Format.

There were a few other Linux magazines as well, Linux User, Linux Magazine, Linux Voice. I think there’s still a Raspberry Pi magazine as well which covers a lot of Linux stuff.

However, it is important to note that these digital IDs are not a replacement for the original physical ones. Furthermore, U.K. residents cannot use digital IDs at airports for travel.

Additionally, Google states that it is also exploring certification with the U.K.’s Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology, which could enable residents to use their digital IDs for alcohol purchases and other purposes.

So you can add your passport to Android but effectively not use it for anything? Does anywhere in the UK accept this Google system as ID?

The article also mentions a partnership to add Railcards to it, but there is already a Railcard app for that, so I’m not sure what this actually for.

We already have a semi privatised identity system with the PASS card scheme for proof of age, its government backed but the actual physical and digital IDs are provided by various public and private groups.

There are 4 bay units that would fit on a 10” inch shelf. I’ve seen some DIY projects too.

Using SFF/mini PCs is also popular, there are models that can take multiple SATA/NVMe drives

There are few if any 10” UPS units available anyway so weight is less of a worry. It’s one of the biggest weaknesses of the 10” system currently.

In the general population it does. Most people are not using an academic definition of AI, they are using a definition formed from popular science fiction.

Labour chose to take this particular stance today. There are many other approaches they could have taken, they could have also tried to dodge the matter and kick they can down the road, but instead “trans women are not women” is what they have chosen to actively embrace.

(Further) pandering to the transphobic lobby is not necessary, and what’s been said today is far beyond pandering.

They could have announced they would look to introduce new legislation to address this. They could have said just about anything instead of what’s been said today.

But they didn’t, they are instead parroting the court ruling as if it’s a final settlement on the issue as whole.

There is no weaselling around these words, the only debate is whether it exposes cowardice or bigotry.

Even by the low standards I had for Labour’s approach, this is depressing.

Already happening sadly, and not by accident either. It’s not just about rolling back trans rights, it’s about dragging us back to narrow and restrictive ideas of sex and gender in general.

The platform owners don’t consider engagement to me be participation in meaningful discourse. Engagement to them just means staying on the platform while seeing ads.

If bots keep people doing that those platforms will keep letting them in.

It looks good but an open world also doesn’t feel like Mario Kart to me.

Although at £75 I probably don’t need to worry anyway, that’s a stretch too far.

Physical game cards may also not actually contain the game:

Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Card Overview

Game-key cards are different from regular game cards, because they don’t contain the full game data. Instead, the game-key card is your “key” to downloading the full game to your system via the internet.

So you pay a premium and maybe don’t even get a “real” cartridge.

Getting employers to do so will probably require improved labour laws and investment, which doesn’t look forthcoming yet.

Instead I fear we will end up with some more unbinding guidelines employers will ignore, and then those who still cannot find work will have the rug pulled from them with the cuts.

They were still making MiniDiscs and MiniDV tapes? That seems more of a surprise than the Blu-ray discontinuation.
