Agree with both points here but wrt. the possibility Kier lurching to the right I particularly agree. Left wing pals on whatsapp and folks online are being way too pessimistic about the prospects of the labour government not delivering left wing policies. Having played it safe during the campaign, Kier has a majority which gives him way more latitude to implement whatever policies make sense.

I wish people could be able to take the W and enjoy it for one night without cynicism or pessimism.

Carol Vorderman is completely plastered on the C4 programme lol

Chances of at least 2 of them being disqualified/resigning for saying something awful is like 100%. There will be by-elections in no time.

Is anyone watching the C4 programme? Nadine Dorries is made out of pure salt right now. Her and Alistair Campbell are scrapping at every opportunity. Chaotic but entertaining.

hahaha get fucked SNP. We are so close to putting all this independence pish to bed. It was still affecting my vote a decade after the referendum. So tired of having to prioritise the constitutional question over everything else.

Reform are peddling gutter politics but the BNP was explicitly a fascist party. You could argue that it’s a matter of semantics given that all the BNP vote has just switched over to Reform but “populist Tories” is a modest improvement over a party whose 1992 manifesto stated:

Fascism was Italian. Nazism was German. We are British. We will do things our own way; we will not copy foreigners.

Completely agree with this take. There are dozens of us!

shut up

lol didn’t realise Poettering had a lemmy account

Users were complaining that their terminal transparency was being broken by the nspawn container and that the colour for other applications like tmux were being affected by it. For example tmux was appearing in the same navy blue in the terminal emulator instead of its usual green.

Idk he’s just a hot take merchant basically. He has a particular hate-boner for distros that don’t use systemd as the default init system like void and gentoo (usually these are troll tweets as opposed to commit messages though).

I’m going to continue to keep avoiding Poettering software for as long as he continues to act like a jackass. Even his commit messages are dripping with condescension.

It’s more like a quality control thing I guess. Generated content is going to be derivitive by its nature so banning it internally is forcing the devs to be creative.

I live in the only longstanding Labour constituency in Scotland; their only competition is the SNP. I’m a member of another party but the constitutional question basically overrides everything… kind of annoying to be bounced into voting for a specific party but I guess the longstanding MP has been doing a good job in my opinion.

To be honest I think he’d make quite a good leader of the opposition with his schoolboy debating style. I don’t foresee he’ll be around for long though.

It’s basically a 4chan /pol/ meetup disguised as a political party.

I’m sure that people only share the articles that are worth reading from conservative home but I’ve read a couple this year that are quite good like this one.

I didn’t think that the Tory wipeout, where they become the third largest party, was likely to happen. Pollsters never seem to have been able to solve the shy Tory effect.

However, seeing Reform implode like this is making me more certain that the Torys will still be the official opposition. Rishi will also benefit from the sympathy factor from being the direct target of the abuse. He also gets to look more statesmanlike when condemning gutter politics from Reform.

Agree that the actual monster designs looked dull. Funnily enough in a “new pokemon” kind of way. Other monster collecting games like SMT and Digimon seem to manage to produce more interesting monsters/pals/demons.

Milky bars are on me, lads

I’d enjoy that scenario as a Lib Dem member

Have they ever got the physics right on a SMB game when releasing on a non-gamecube platform?
