United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Government drops plans for mandatory digital ID to work in UKEnglish
3·10 hours agoAll that drop in ratings, for nothing. Absolute incompetence.
It wouldn’t have prevented the dreaded boat people from working, because it’s all under the table anyway. It would just have been annoying and intrusive.
Yet at the same time, a free to access, zero knowledge proof ID system could be useful to have. It just can’t be mandatory.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Government drops plans for mandatory digital ID to work in UKEnglish
4·10 hours agoI’m working my way through that one now. One of the first episodes they try to cut civil service staff but end up hiring a 5000 extra so they know which ones to cut. Reform recently spent £5m in Derbyshire on consultants to “find savings”.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

News@lemmy.world•‘At Least 12,000’ and ‘Possibly’ 20,000 Iranian Protesters Have Been Murdered According to Bombshell ReportEnglish
22·11 hours agoAt this point I suspect it’s less about wanting the oil under Iran and more about not wanting China to have it.

News@lemmy.world•‘At Least 12,000’ and ‘Possibly’ 20,000 Iranian Protesters Have Been Murdered According to Bombshell ReportEnglish
12·11 hours agoThe regime admitted to 2,000.
And while 12,000 is the highest number I’ve seen so far, it’s got to be somewhere between those figures.

Technology@lemmy.world•What if the Internet Goes Down? - 15 Jan, 7PM CETEnglish
14·1 day agoHow resistant would this be to jamming? Iran managed to black out Starlink.
And how trackable is it? Not sure how many people would be prepared to run one of these boxes if the Revolutionary Guard are going to come knocking.

1·1 day agoDoesn’t really matter since the remnants of their party have already fucked off to Reform.
I think I’ve got more chance of being PM than Kemi.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•We all took foreign languages in school and none of us can actually speak those languagesEnglish
3·2 days agoIf your main language is English you probably can’t. There’s just little need since everything is so English-centric that almost everyone else has to learn it as a necessity.
Larger countries like France and Germany can often get on without it as there’s enough population to be worth dubbing and translating things to it, but go somewhere smaller like the Nordic countries, and you’re basically stuffed without it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Instead of everyone leaving NATO, could everyone else just kick the US out?English
15·2 days agoThat’s kind of just Europe plus Canada. But the whole point is nukes. Without the US we don’t really have that (the UK has a few but the US has the keys iirc, and France has a token amount), so Europe needs to get those weapons programs going again.

Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Star Trek Strange New Worlds is my favorite Star Trek series ever. I love all the risks they take and the cast is excellent. I can’t believe it’s being cut short. Give me 7, 8, 9 seasons.English
5·4 days agoThis is also true. WWII hit hard.
The days when doctors had a preferred cigarette brand didn’t help either.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Steam Machine price leak suggests it will cost as much as an iPhoneEnglish
9·4 days agoI was expecting PS5 performance at PS5 Pro prices.
The recent leaks will be including 21% VAT in Czech Republic too. It’s about the same as the PS5 Pro in the UK.
It’s not a great value proposition, but depends how much you value open source.
But we’re 60% water so we taste it all the time.
I honestly can’t tell if satire is dead or satire is now so easy nobody can make a living from it.
Only last week I made a joke about Musk locking CSAM generation behind Grok Premium, and yesterday he did exactly that…

19·4 days agoThey can’t carry it on forever, sadly. It’s the nature of a prequel show.
Kirk and Spock’s actors are currently older than Nimoy and Shatner were when TOS ended.
