• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Renters have 'easiest time in six years' to find a home, says Zoopla⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  1800 GBP is about 2400 USD, and whilst in some places it can get you a 3 bed house, in others it won’t even get you a 2 bed flat

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK launches consultation asking for views on under-16s social media ban⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Very long form to fill in, but I completed it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just regular android at the moment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How strange, no my microphone is absolutely fine, but I’m currently using regular Android not /e/OS

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a FP6 and I’m very happy with it, haven’t had any issues with their hardware

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fairphone, Nothing, or Shift would have been my preferred options. But anything non Google is a plus.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We conduct affairs of state in a building that’s riddled with asbestos and mice. Can’t Britain do any better?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought the plan from a few years ago to put them all up in York seemed sensible

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teenage girls lured into forced sex by gangs in London, BBC finds⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not anymore!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The fairphone is always going to be more expensive than other phones because they ensure fair compensation of workers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘I’m British, British Asian, English’, says Rishi Sunak in riposte to racially charged debate over identity⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This feels really conflicting. Of course I agree he is Englosh and he should not be on the receiving end of racism, nobody should.

  His government, however, actively boosted racist messaging on immigration, so I can’t help but feel he is at least in part to blame politically for this.

  The reason this feels difficult is because I worry this feels a bit like victim blaming, although again I really do want emphasise how much the conservatives have helped boost the far right and racist views.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rent is theft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You buying a house as an “investment” drives up property prices and is what makes it harder for people to own a home. Just because you worked to get to the point where you could afford to bug a second house, doesn’t justify buying that second house.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rent is theft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not usually a fan of Churchill, but that was great

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It could’ve also been a snap issue (we’ve seen an issue recently with the VSCode Snap eating up storage) and IIRC Firefox on Ubuntu is a Snap (by default, obviously you can install it any other way as well but you shouldn’t be expected to).

  I’ve been on Fedora for 3 or so years and it has pretty much worked flawlessly (the only exception to that is it used to sometimes have issues with automatically sleeping correctly when I closed the laptop lid, but that hasn’t been an issue for about a year)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk Is Rolling xAI Into SpaceX—Creating the World’s Most Valuable Private Company⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Every article needs to read “Elon Musk, who’s name repeatedly appeared in the Epstein files”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not all leftists are supportive of China, anarchists certainly aren’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I tend to find Lemmy to be pretty good at being critical of the US

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone use Bambu Lab Cool Plate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Generally I put tall models on a high adhesion plate and short models on lower adhesion plates. It’s a good enough rule of thumb

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could there be a social media ban for children in the UK?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But to implement it would require age verification… Which we already know is a horrible idea

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No worries at all!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Might be worth looking at BricsCAD (but honestly as an engineer who has professionally used a number of different CAD packages, FreeCAD honestly isn’t that bad and I happily use it at home, it just has a different workflow)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former chemical plant in North Wales, UK, could become AI data center⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Carbon3 claim it’ll be powered by renewable energy, so I guess that’s a plus?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloudflare defies Italy’s Piracy Shield, won’t block websites on 1.1.1.1 DNS⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait what do you have against GDPR?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia insists it isn’t Enron, but its AI deals are testing investor faith⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would say never trust a CEO

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘All brakes are off’: Russia’s attempt to rein in illicit market for leaked data backfires⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How do you figure?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone had any luck running Fusion 360 on Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tbf even solidworks crashes when designing complex assemblies

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vibe coding has turned senior devs into ‘AI babysitters,’ but they say it’s worth it | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a junior and even I feel the same way, reading and understanding someone else’s code not only takes me longer but is far less rewarding than just writing it myself. There’s also the issue as a junior that if I read AI code with issues that maybe I don’t notice or recognise, but it compiles fine, it could teach or reinforce poor practices that I may then put into my own work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there no good inexpensive CAD software?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  BricsCAD is pretty good on Linux

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thunder is no longer buggy and slow for me on IOS⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for all your hard work, it’s a really great app

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netanyahu slams army over delay in building Gaza concentration camp⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Three countries with proud histories of genocide helping another genocidal country… Honestly not that surprising (although it is incredibly disappointing)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Silicon Valley-style start-up targeting rape survivors at UK universities: Launching in Bristol, Enough vowed to be the ‘breathalyser of rape’. But can fem tech really ‘deter’ sexual violence?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure, reading the article it very much seems like they are targeting them.
