Mmmm royal boot. Kick these benefit cheats out, no more welfare scrounging.
- Comment on Princess of Wales says she is undergoing cancer treatment - BBC News 7 months ago:
I think she should get NHS treatment. I’m quite sure she’ll be getting cutting-edge private treatment partly paid for by my taxes thay are gifted to her for marrying the right guy.
- Comment on Princess of Wales says she is undergoing cancer treatment - BBC News 7 months ago:
I’m sure she’s getting the best treatment on our dime, the parasite. I wouldn’t wish cancer on anyone.
- Comment on Users ditch Glassdoor, stunned by site adding real names without consent 8 months ago:
I lie shamelessly to companies when signing up these days. They get fake DoBs, names, aliased emails, fake addresses, phones, the lot. Let them out that data on my profile without consent, hopefully they aren’t going to expend resources to penetrate that veil.
- Comment on Lemmy.ml is acting as a proxy instance for Hexbear and should be defederated by any instances that defederate from Hexbear 8 months ago:
It’s not thriving. The devs are prickly arseholes, which is anathema to building a cooperative, volunteer-driven dev community and the tone of many mainstream communities is obnoxiously set by tankies amd their alts.

20 a month?! No way in hell reddit app access is worth that.
- Comment on Reddit: Return Of The Junk Stock IPO 8 months ago:
Didn’t that become an option at some point? I’m sure I’ve read there are apps you can pay for to have access. Fuck that, though. Make it a reasonable price, too, and I’d listen. No way I’m paying a fiver a month for reddit. Maye 1 or 2.

Let apple take the flak for moving the market and then quietly copy because of course it’s more lucrative… classic.

- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 10 months ago:
Don’t be stupid about it, don’t get greedy. Just give yourself a little discount to offset some of the recent bullshit price inflation and portion shrinkage.
- Comment on What is an average person living in the US supposed to do about corporations raising prices? 10 months ago:
There’s surely appetite building around the world for this. Who will throw the first stone that starts the landslide?

Thieve from big corpos. Don’t feel bad about it. They don’t.

The pop-iver video player is an infuriating choice. I watched the video, scroll down and the fucking thing follows me?! Wtf?! Why?? Am I going to forget that I just watched that video two seconds ago?! Argh!
- Comment on Imagine if all this discount programs were linked not to the card, but to the bag. Bringing the same rugged bag with a chip could've become a new normal. 11 months ago:
Single use bags can be sold, and are sold, for wrapping fruit and vegetables, and thin polyethylene carrier bags are atill sold, they just can’t be given away for free.

Fuck, that is some sobering perspective.
- Comment on Ex-commissioner for facial recognition tech joins Facewatch firm he approved 11 months ago:
I don’t think that’s what a davit is, tbh. It refers to the shape of the pole itself, but not any type of locking mechanism on whatever type of security is in place on whatever type of access/inspection door has been fitted.
- Comment on Ex-commissioner for facial recognition tech joins Facewatch firm he approved 11 months ago:
I can’t find helpful/relevant results when I search for davit doors, or even just Davit. Could you give me some other keywords to read up on?

That’s cool, I hope you enjoyed making it. Feels like it’s an artisanal chess piece.
- Comment on Digital pound should not be considered until risks addressed, MPs warn 11 months ago:
The negative interest rate, for example, is very much not one of “three random things”.
See this 2020 ECB working paper:
“Nevertheless, since a run into CBDC would be easier, it would be recomforting to have as extra tool the ability to impose negative rates on CBDC.” [CBDC = central bank digital currency]
or this 2018 BoE working paper:
“Under this regime any nascent increase in the demand for CBDC can be eliminated by a drop in the interest rate on CBDC. But there are potential limits if this requires a highly negative interest rate, and if further reductions of the interest rate below this level become politically difficult.”
Hopefully the hedging of that language is easy to remove. They talk about thresholds and limits and tiers, but the upshot is, maybe they’re kind enough to grant you a pittance on the first couple thousand, after that it’s zero or negative, because central banks tend to agree that what they DON’T want to create is a store of value, and so they will do anything they can to make you spend your CBDC as soon as you get it. In general, the “economy” does not benefit from you having a nice store of money saved up somewhere. Politicans and bankers want you money moving through their system, that’s how workers are kept desperate/subservient and the élite can continue to skim some cream off the top of each transaction.
We live in a deeply unfair and very carefully rigged system with hostile operators. Do your best to survive them.
- Comment on Digital pound should not be considered until risks addressed, MPs warn 11 months ago:
I can see no doqnside to the state being able to track every transaction you make and devalue it at will, charge negative interest rates to encourage spending to boost ‘the economy’. Read the research papers banks issue on this topic, the bankers are salivating.

Heaven forbid residents of the capital have to travel to see national treasures,ather than having fucking everything on their doorstep.

Thank you, i’m going to look into this!
- Comment on Uncommon Syncthing usecases 11 months ago:
Ha, i have planted a few rasoberry pi zeros running just syncthing in a few relatives’ places for that. I worry about a blackout damaging them, so i have a few. Syncthing is great, as soon as a backup is made, it whisks it off all over the place, amazing.
- Comment on Uncommon Syncthing usecases 11 months ago:
I have a keepass database synced between a phone, desktop and a Raspberry Pi 1. The Pi just sits as an always-on server. I don’t edit it on my phone. Here’s my problem: when I edit something on my desktop and save it I invariably get a file conflict error and have to force the Pi to accept the new ‘conflicted’ file from my desktop. Any idea why? It’s incredibly annoying!
