- Comment on Bluesky age verification uk 18 hours ago:
Blame the shitty UK legislation. Bluesky, Reddit etc are just complying with it.

Lemmy.zip blocks uk users on its front end but I think its contents is still federated.
- Comment on Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits 1 day ago:
Honestly I have no idea. I guess they could just block it if they don’t comply?
- Comment on Emma Watson banned from driving for speeding 1 day ago:
I’d say 10 over on any 30mph zone is crazy. These are usually in built up areas so there’s no excuse for it.
but there are many roads where 20 over is still fine.
Can’t say I agree. National speed limit is either 60 or 70mph depending on the road and I wouldn’t want to do 20mph over on either.

Under the new UK law, lemmynsfw would also need to have some kind of age verification for UK users.
- Comment on Emma Watson banned from driving for speeding 1 day ago:
In the UK you’re allowed 10% (and I think +2mph) due to car speedo’s not being 100% accurate.
- Comment on Emma Watson banned from driving for speeding 1 day ago:
If she was caught doing 38mph in a 30, then her car was probably displaying 40 or 41mph as the speedo’s always report you going a higher speed than you’re going. So I’d say that’s pretty bad, especially when you’ve been caught several times before in such a short space of time.
- Comment on I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good 3 days ago:
How are PeerTube instances funded? I’d imagine that the cost of running an instance is significantly higher than a Lemmy instance.
- Comment on I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good 3 days ago:
True, but in order to make it a healthy viable alternative to centralised platforms then there needs to be a financial incentive for creators to use peertube. I guess any creators who give a shit about this kind of thing could upload their content to both platforms, but doing so could have an impact on their YouTube earnings.
Early youtube was beautiful precisely because it was normal people making videos as a hobby, not trying to earn money.
It was also a novelty as it as very new, but the quality of content being put out now is significantly higher than it was in 2005.

The thick layer of wasps and flies on the yoghurty windows would also help.

- Comment on Royal Mail given go-ahead to scrap second-class post on Saturdays 1 week ago:
It’s this. The company I work for will sign contracts with Royal Mail for 12+ months. It’ll also give their business customers time to potentially switch to alternatives, either pushing people to First Class or maybe the tracked options such as T48.

- Comment on Jeremy Corbyn confirms new ‘socialist alternative’ before next election to fight Starmer 1 week ago:
I wonder why these parties don’t just merge to create a single socialist party. And now Corbyn is starting another one.

It’s still just slowly trickling down. Any day now.

Paul Webb, Reform UK’s communities portfolio holder who oversees libraries, said the move came after a “concerned member of the public” contacted him.
Good money says the concerned member of the public was Paul himself.

It’s just another tax
Nobody is forcing people to drive over the speed limit. It’s a fine, not a tax.

I’m not answering your question at all am I lmao
Have you considered a career in politics?
- Comment on Every year for the last 40 years, France has built more homes per person than England. 2 weeks ago:
You might have mis-read my comment, what are their prices like, relative to ours?
old and “full of character” (read: uneven floors, crumbling paper-thin walls) due to lack of regulation.
Basically a bit like our old terrace houses that are full of damp and way too small for modern life.

!unitedkingdom@lemmy.ml
I’m not a mod of the feddit.uk equivalent so it’s not up to me, but I’d be cautious about doing so. I have lemmy.ml blocked so I can’t see their posts or comments, but I’m a bit wary about their users, it would be like redirecting a unitedkingdom community from hexbear or grad.
!UKCasual@lemmy.world
Yeah we can reach out to the mods there and see if they’d want to redirect to us.

What are house prices in France like?
- Comment on Why, just why? 2 weeks ago:
I’d have to guess it’s to disincentives illegal immigrants coming into the country.
I get the optics of it to be honest. We’re constantly being told there’s not enough money for essential services, there’s housing shortages and so on, but then people can come here and get housed, receive money etc. It’s probably also a tough pill to swallow when they’re coming from safe countries.
This is absolutely what’s driving the popularity of Reform, and will continue to do so.
- Comment on Fixed speed camera toppled hours before switch-on 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, it seems unbelievable, I was starting to question what it really meant by “fixed speed camera” as if it were something different to what we usually see. I wonder how they’ve managed to go so long without one?
- Comment on Fixed speed camera toppled hours before switch-on 2 weeks ago:
North Yorkshire’s first fixed-location speed camera
Am I misunderstanding or is this saying that North Yorkshire hasn’t had any traditional speed cameras up until now?
