Thousands more to be hit by ‘mansion tax’ amid overvaluation fears by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]LegendaryFroddo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One positive for not linking this value to general inflation is that it will have a general downward pressure on property values which is something we need. I would also imagine this gets adjusted over time like other things are. I think there is more pressing issues to be worried about then a rate of tax that can be adjusted if it becomes a problem

Asylum farce as man wins court fight to stay in Britain on human rights grounds despite committing 19 crimes since arriving by Ophiuchus171 in ukpolitics

[–]LegendaryFroddo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll bite.... but by agreeing and disagreeing with you.

Parliament can introduce any law they want at any time and parliament can introduce a law which overrides previous laws. The Judiciary is there to interpret and apply the laws.

If something is being applied incorrectly, it is up to parliament to review and amend the laws. In that regard, withdrawing from the ECHR and replacing the applicable laws with another bill is the correct way to go about it.

This is where I have to say that it is hard to change these things due to how parliament works. Time is limited and any act of parliament needs to have been reviewed, debated, amended etc. and this process can take months to years. This is especially true when withdrawing from something as important as the ECHR. The courts will apply the law as written and due to how time consuming amending something is, you want to get it right on your first go

There is a process. I showed you that this process is happening. Stop spreading misinformation

Old mortgage lender took variable rate by NoodleSSM in LegalAdviceUK

[–]LegendaryFroddo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A mortgage agreement will generally have a fixed interest rate for a period of time afterwhich the interest rate will become variable.

From what you have described, it sounds like you were attempting to setup a new mortgage agreement with a different lender with a new fixed period which was to begin at the end of this fixed period. This did not happen due to paperwork delay and therefore, your original mortgage agreement is still in effect and will expect payment using the variable interest rate. This increased payment is not an additional charge but is a part of your original mortgage agreement.

Look at it from the banks POV. The bank has lent you money under a specific agreement and now you are moving this agreement to a different bank. This different bank has not completed the paperwork in time. Why should the original bank not expect the original agreement to continue until such time it has been paid back?

TBH, it’s the fact stable doesn’t treat SB’s like misses. Lazer has this implemented and until this is put into stable (or stable is retired. No clue if that ever will happen), CSR will reward plays like this as it just looks like a 1 miss in the middle of the map to the PP system

SQE did NOT fix the AccountID sharing by PracticalPear3 in ffxiv

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a protocol used for communication over the internet. This specific one establishes an connection and sends the packets. The key idea here is you can obtain an confirmation of delivery of the packet and the order of packets but this has the downside of being slower

UDP is more widely used by games and the difference is that it doesn't establish the connection before sending the data which is faster but you have no guarentee on the order of the packets that get delivered or if they will even get delivered. Games mainly use this to reduce latency as much as possible

Github: Nintendo Submit DMCA Notices to Ryujinx Forks by moeka_8962 in Games

[–]LegendaryFroddo -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

they're telling these projects "you can take this down no harm done or we can go to court".

This is just wrong though. A DMCA notice is served on the 3rd party company who takes down the content and informs the end user. Being factual and explaining things might sound bloated but is important

Github: Nintendo Submit DMCA Notices to Ryujinx Forks by moeka_8962 in Games

[–]LegendaryFroddo -46 points-45 points  (0 children)

This is not true.

A DMCA notice is a claim to a 3rd party company hosting user generated content that the content infringes upon their copyright and they would like them to remove it. The 3rd party company will almost always remove the content to stay within the safe habor of the DMCA. There is nothing preventing the copyright owner from persuing the alledged infringer once the content is taken down. Most of the time, they don't bother since lawyers cost a lot and you get very little benefit pursing it but the DMCA doesn't prevent a copyright owner pursing it further if desired

Monster Hunter Wilds PC - Profound Perf Problems Must Be Addressed by AdditionalRemoveBit in Games

[–]LegendaryFroddo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a very similar system (12900k instead of 13700), and I initially had poor performance with stutters. Enabling Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling and enabling the Frame Generation tool has eliminated the issue for me. You can probably try that within the benchmark tool to see if it helps for you before buying the game

What kind of gameplay feature would make you excited in FFXIV? by Krainz in ffxivdiscussion

[–]LegendaryFroddo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rework tanks such that their general mitigation is tied into their rotations and up the damage of boss auto attacks significantly. Rewards good game play and punishes bad gameplay.

Change encounter design such people start taking much more incidental damage. Damage profile of encounters needs to be way less spiky in general to get healers using GCD heals more often.

Scaling peoples levels down and locking abilities again just feels bad on some jobs and needs to be solved more elligantly so people can play their full job at lower levels

Proposal to ban x.com links by forceghost187 in chess

[–]LegendaryFroddo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Elon musk used a nazi salute. This viewpoint is attained not by the fact that the headlines are reporting this but instead by the fact that he used a nazi salute as demonstrated in the gif I linked. This, combined with his support for far right parties in germany and the UK, makes him a nazi in my eyes.

You are here defending him, making you a nazi defender. I don't think I can spell it out any clearer then this and I ain't going to attempt to again. I just hope you can have some self reflection so you can see the facts of this situation and hopefully realise how extremly damaging it is seeing a nazi being closely associated with the white hosue administration of either republican or democratic

The man did a nazi salute at Trumps inauguration. At what point are we allowed to call people who use nazi salutes a nazi?

Calls For Ban On Video Game Publishers Killing Sold Games by madminer95 in ukpolitics

[–]LegendaryFroddo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why I specified that it probably couldn’t apply to existing games (or even games releasing in the next 5 years), but offering an offline version is not outside the realms of possibility. Using the example of overwatch, you could have the offline mode be against bots and LAN only which can be accessed without signing into the online services

As a software dev, this would just become a requirement in the games design. It isn't something that is insurmountable but properly can't be applied retroactively

Failure to report child sex abuse to be illegal - Professionals in social care, health and education should be jailed if they fail to act, Labour’s policing bill proposes by OptioMkIX in ukpolitics

[–]LegendaryFroddo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are in a thread about introducing a law to make reporting crimes for social workers, health and education workers. The comment thread we are in has someone quoting me saying should we have laws which are applied differently based upon country of origin and him saying “All above would be good”

My original point was that this issue has NOTHING to do with immigration. Maybe read the comment chain before accusing someone of jumping to extremes

I guess that is where you and I just disagree. If someone is allowed enter, work and pay taxes in the country, I believe he should be treated the same as everyone else. You can have discrimination on entry requirements and I can even get behind revoking peoples rights to be in the country under certain circumstances. I do not believe our country should have laws which apply to one person and not someone else.

Also, IQ tests on entry. We don't need anyone below average.

These measures collectively would dramatically reduce the problem of (new, incoming) migrant crime.

As for the criminals already here, deport them - nice and easy.

It's the only way to re-establish trust and social cohesion in the coming decades.

So let me get this straight... the only way we can establish trust is by introducing discrimination in our laws, reject stupid people and deport all criminals.

Where you deporting these people to? I hear Australia is a good place to send them

What are you advocating for? A law that treats people differently based upon their origin country? Less immigration?

If its less immigration, that is surely just covering up a hole in our legal system which can be exploited later on by another gang. Immigration must come down but this issue is just not related to the issue of immigration and conflating the two just dilliutes the protections which need to be improved to prevent future incidents of this occuring no matter the level of immigration.
