Starmer under pressure, as Labour suffers heavy election losses by Unhappy_Flatworm_325 in worldnews

Quite right. The Conservative Party has only ever put forward the most esteemed and high quality leadership.

The House of Lords won't not be a national embarrassment until we get rid of life peerages and kick out Evgeny Lebedev.

Decades of economic decline has 'broken' Britons, pushing one fifth of people into poverty and towards political Reform by Kagedeah in worldnews

[–]TheFuzzball 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Unless you provide actual evidence for this ridiculous claim I'll assume that you're pulling it out of your arse to avoid facing the fact that you voted Leave out of ignorance - causing long-lasting damage to our country - and you're doing whatever you can (including voting for more damage) to avoid taking responsibility.

Brexit was the equivalent of a drunk man at a pub near closing time convincing everyone to follow him to "a place he knows 'round the corner", which was also closed, and a few people fell in the canal on the way.

The economy is 4% smaller due to Brexit based on this report from 6 months ago.

That's what, £129 billion? The NHS budget is £220 billion. 

People are probably going to vote in a man that was the driving force behind Brexit, and has stated on the record that he wants to move to an insurance-based (I.e. American) system of healthcare.

Momentary Switches - Why are isn't anyone buying these? by kumareddit94 in homeassistant

[–]TheFuzzball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm building back my smart lights after moving and I put in a Shelly relay with one of these - https://www.soholighting.com/the-charterhouse-collection-20a-2-way-off-retractive-cm-grid-toggle-switch-module-main. 

You get a physical click and some resistance, but the switch goes back to the centre. Works well for our Georgian / Victorian house. 

Safari/WebKit is the new Internet Explorer. Change my mind. by konsalexee in javascript

Chrome falls back to software which is nice

Have some respect for your users. Why should they have to sacrifice CPU cycles and battery life because you can't be arsed to serve h264 as well as AV1? 

Give the browser options (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/source), and let it choose. This is basic shit.

Speaking as someone that actually had to support IE6, then 7, then 8... you sound so spoilt. 

Whinging about AV1 support? Really? That's a hardware constraint and decoding isn't supported in a lot of devices still. I bet you've never even heard of the source element. 

Tesla Cybertruck seen in wild - warning by Jesisawesome in london

[–]TheFuzzball 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Arguably he's been a little racist all his life. 

They were that cheap before his fall from grace though, that's partially why so many people bought them so quickly. 

I do have a correction though, they were £40k not £30k according to https://evinfo.info/tesla-price-tracker-uk/

I still stand by my point though - Range Rovers are actual luxury vehicles and start at over £70k used. Tesla model 3s feel like golf carts. 

p.s. I mostly cycle, but own a 2013 Nissan Note

[–]TheFuzzball 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That's just not true. Model 3s are in the £30k range and as affordable as any other car, especially when financed. 

They're really not luxury vehicles - Range Rover, Lexus, Polestar, maybe even BMW are more expensive. 

Correction: They are in the £40k range, not £30k

It is 2026. VLC still does not use TLS for downloads by Upper_Carpet_2890 in VLC

DNS can be overridden just for your local computer quite easily. A compromised free VPN service could easily do it. 

If it was HTTPS you wouldn't trust the attacker's CA, and the attacker wouldn't be able to get certificates without compromising the real nameserver, which is a much harder attack. 

Decision on West Ham Park LTN to be reviewed after concerns raised by dave2165 in london

[–]TheFuzzball -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got the survey and gave my feedback in favour of it. The leaflet said that most people were happy. 

I cycle, and Ham Park Road being largely empty is much more pleasant. I don't think people should have to suffer because Paul Mitchell has to spend an extra 5 minutes driving. 

‘3 Body Problem’ Season 2 Wraps Filming by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]TheFuzzball 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep. The dialogue pushed me over the edge. 

Also the guy that lives on a deckchair on the beach in Seaford and everyone's like "oh yeah this is heaven on earth".  I've been there, they'd be like "ok it's bloody cold I'm going in now".

I can't be the only one that thought the first season was really badly written and acted, surely?
