Fair. I actually get actively mad when stuff puts me on a 12-hour clock.

There are so many things that we assume are unambiguous that aren't. Like, my favourite argument starter is asking if 12 AM is midnight or midday.

I didn't think is was possible to hate squash. Also, bourbons are an A-teir biscuit, with the added benefit of being vegan.

[The report] also said discussion of intergenerational fairness tended to "pit younger and older generations against each other in a perceived fight for limited resources".

Good take. Remember, the real divide is class not generation.

This happens? Most comms I see even with hundreds of subs rely on one person posting, normally the mod.

I didn't say it was private, I said it wasn't public, there's a difference. If you asked me what number I was thinking of I'd tell you, but that's not the same thing as the number I'm thinking of being public information. ActivityPub is, at its core, about consent. We have consented to having our data be sent to any person able to serve 200 responses on an inbox endpoint by using instances with open federation. We could, if that makes us uncomfortable, moved to a closed federation system where we only accept request from an allowlisted set of instances, with software that follows the spec's public addressing system.

The comparison doesn't work because both Lemmy and Mbin are implementing the same standard, while robots.txt is mostly an honour system.

You should assume voter data is fully public and fully open. It otherwise is in the federated ecosystem.

Information not being private isn't the same thing as information being public.

Lemmy likes aren't meant to be public, this is just other software failing to respect the privacy Lemmy indicates.

If this isn't the next Far Cry game, then Ubisoft deserves to go bankrupt.

No one remotely serious is advocating children be given gender affirming medication without professional oversight. I'm sorry that that person tried to force you into a gender identity, we should be moving to a world where we can try different identities to see what fits us best and I'm happy that you were able to find your gender identity. But the idea that you trying out different pronouns on Discord is remotely comparable to teenager who was in GIDS is a dangerous conflation. To get on hormone therapy on GIDS (before it was scrapped) you had to show consistent signs of distress.

I would say Fedora, but it has a really annoying OOM freezing issue.

Damn, so this is how I find out we're least trustworthy part of the commonwealth.

 

Police bodycam footage shows the moment officers used a capybara costume to carry out a drug raid in Peru's capital Lima.

The Escuadron Verde (Green Squad) police group is a specialised unit of the Peruvian National Police who often disguise their agents in fancy dress during festivities such as Valentine's Day, Halloween and Christmas.

The head of the unit, Col Pedro Rojas, has said: "On this occasion, Valentine's Day, lover's day, we sought to camouflage ourselves with the character of the capybara."

Peruvian police have previously dressed their officers up as Marvel characters Spiderman, Captain America, Thor and Black Widow to carry out a drug raid.

 
 
 
 
 

New guidance states that anyone who enters the UK illegally having made a dangerous journey, which could be via boat, but also by means such as hiding in a vehicle, will normally be refused citizenship, regardless of the time that has passed.

In a statement, the Home Office said the strengthened measures made it clear that anyone who entered the UK illegally would face having a British citizenship application refused.

But, the change has been condemned by the Refugee Council and some Labour MPs - including Stella Creasy who said the change "meant refugees would forever remain second class citizens".

Changes, first disclosed by the Free Movement blog, were introduced to guidance for visa and immigration staff on Monday.

Described as a "clarification" to case worker guidance when assessing if a claimant is of "good character', it says: "Any person applying for citizenship from 10 February 2025, who previously entered the UK illegally will normally be refused, regardless of the time that has passed since the illegal entry took place."

Another new entry to the same guidance says: "A person who applies for citizenship from 10 February 2025 who has previously arrived without a required valid entry clearance or electronic travel authorisation, having made a dangerous journey will normally be refused citizenship.

"A dangerous journey includes, but is not limited to, travelling by small boat or concealed in a vehicle or other conveyance."

Previously, refugees who had arrived by irregular routes would need to wait ten years before being considered.
