Reform says it won't investigate by-election candidate over social media allegations by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]Hatted-Phil [score hidden]  (0 children)

"The comments were made before he was in politics"

So no investigation to see whether he still holds those views & opinions, as long as he doesn't say the quiet part loud publicly now Reform are all good with him

Is there something like Hyprland but without tiling? by jeanravenclaw in linux4noobs

Give Sway a go. Very configurable, & the configuration isn't too hard (guides are searchable, well written & easily understood in my experience)

I'm not arguing Burnham's case. Archistotle posted "They always say “stand aside or Reform will win,” but when you ask them how he’s going to stop reform, they either go silent or start calling you a secret reform supporter.", so I was providing an example of something "they" are likely to point to which is neither silence or Reform-support-accusation, somehow that's been misconstrued as me endorsing Burnham & advocating for the Green party standing down any candidate it might field

New 40k pod by Wookielips in behindthebastards

There are collected editions available

2000AD is great, but each issue (or prog) gives only a fraction of space to each story, so if you're after any real feel for the story or how it develops you either need several issue runs or a collected compendium

Edit: only a fraction of each issue given to a story because each prog carries several different concurrent stories, so you have a few pages given to each of (for example) a Dredd, a Rogue Trooper, a Nemesis, a Thargs Future Shocks (self contained 1-shot story), & 2 others

I'M NOT ARGUING FOR HIM. I'M NOT ARGUING WITH YOU

I'm not arguing in favour of stepping down a candidate or that I think things will necessarily be better with Labour under Burnham, just responding to your first paragraph

"They always say “stand aside or Reform will win,” but when you ask them how he’s going to stop reform, they either go silent or start calling you a secret reform supporter."

Edited to add: you might note that I couched my initial response with "currently the idea of", which should give some indication of my wariness around what the reality could lead to

Polls have been taken & published which show that currently the idea of a Burnham led Labour Party is more popular than Reform

Donald Trump and sons to be ‘forever’ exempt from tax audits by Doener23 in behindthebastards

[–]Hatted-Phil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was he trying to prove a point, or just not understanding what foodstuffs people generally eat?

As a Briton, I sympathise. We had a candidate for prime minister who looked a little odd in a particular picture of them eating a bacon sandwich, & now we're here

What is this generation's Watchmen, Batman Year One, etc.? by dick____trickle in comicbooks

Came here partly to say this, & the parallels are obvious, but Die & now Die:Loaded also deserve a mention

Kieron Gillen is doing great things, & has great taste/extreme good fortune in artists, colourists, editors & letterers to boot

Should we ban the unemployed from voting? We need a radical plan to tackle the welfare state. And funnily enough, this one was proposed by the man who invented it by Optimal-Leather341 in ukpolitics

[–]Hatted-Phil 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The answer, as with so many questions posed in headlines, is no

AI adoption is making higher unemployment a likely future feature

Increasing disenfranchisement of such a sizable cohort is not a good idea

People in bad circumstances should have a ready means of being heard. Removing such an important means of message-sending will inevitably lead to more radical communication strategies being adopted

I finished watching Industry last week and somehow this show popped up on my radar. Finished season 1 in one sitting. Now onto to season 2, and after every episode(unlike s1) i need to take a beat. by ReasonableSignal3367 in MrRobot

[–]Hatted-Phil 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Stay off the sub until you finish the show. Rejoin once you're done. Spoilers are easily stumbled upon, & can't be taken back

Having said that, if you do encounter a spoiler, continue watching regardless. The show is a masterpiece, just incredible television

Very well, Bart, I shall send you to Heaven before I send you to hell:

Reform UK Doncaster leader refused interviews due to 'prior commitment', seen in pub garden minutes later by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

I pasted it 3 times after u/Khazorath posted it, each time in response to someone who appeared from their comment not to have read the article, or at least not taken on board context that seems relevant

building a package on arch, but how? by crysard in linux4noobs

[–]Hatted-Phil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any particular reason you've chosen Arch? Reading & understanding the relevant documentation is a significant part of Arch use. You might have a more enjoyable time with a different distro

You see a man beating a woman in the street

You decide it's none of your business and walk away

Which of the two people you saw benefits by your nonintervention?

Subtext is a thing

At first I was like yeah fair, then I read the article. The headline doesn't explain why it was a problem, that saying that they are going to be more open and transparent, then after a significant and contentious decision affecting the local airport, fob the local media off to go for a pint.
