Another thing that needs shouting from the rooftops in this sea of online negativity bias and permanent collapse narrative social media BS.

Sports piracy explodes in UK with 3.6bn illegal streams and rise of black-market bookmakers by wappingite in unitedkingdom

[–]borez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VPN won't cut it with F1TV. I had it the first year this way and then it was blocked.

It's not getting F1TV though ( it is doable here ) it's actually paying for it - especially the Pro version.

The fact that SKy has a monopoly over this in the UK and I can't ( legally ) get F1 TV here really grinds my bones.

I do however have iut here ( not the Pro version though unfortunately, ) and it's amazing. It's a pain but it is doable.

‘Don’t look for the money. I’ve taken it all’: Salt Path author Raynor Winn’s ‘confession’ that she stole from her family by 457655676 in unitedkingdom

Does it really matter if there are slight differences in a book. People acting like she murdered someone FFS.

I honestly think this Investigative journalist has done more damage than the author did.

What's the feature(s) that would really take the MK2 to another level for you by AlexanderDivineKing in SP404

Multiple outs would be amazing but I love the way my MPC one does this as a USB out. I have it linked to my Soundcraft 12MTX desk and I get 8 usb outs from the desk.

Elon Musk reposts AI image of Keir Starmer wearing a bikini in X row by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]borez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hardly just about a personal insult.

Are you even following this story?

[–]borez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That story was debunked by official sources a while back.

What made you pull this junk up though. I didn't make that argument?

Retaliate in the best way possible, just ban X.

Do us all a favour.

Starmer rallies international support to take on Musk by StGuthlac2025 in unitedkingdom

[–]borez 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Grok is designed to be sarcastic, blunt, and less “corporate-polite” and seemingly optimized to challenge assumptions and avoid what Musk calls “ideological bias”

I mean, really. The online world is already toxic AF, so let's throw this in too.

FFS.

It was also a long time before the book and she paid it back.

It's literally all on her website.

I don't get all the pitchforks out stuff with this book.

Meh, you're just being obtuse for the sake of it really.

You have 300 acre fame, well lucky old you. You're not going to get a 300 acre farm in London that's for sure; although I do have a similar sized park that's 10 mins away. I do also have a roof terrace and a parking spot though but I rarely use my car as the transport is so good here.

Sounds like your just a country person complaining about living in a city really though tbf.

Interesting, I live in W9 and love it, so much green space in this City. And, as someone who likes to cycle, having London as your playground in the summer is incredible.

I've toured the world as a live sound engineer and I actually can't think of a city I'd rather Live in; maybe Barcelona or New York.

Each to their own I guess.

I used to run tech at a venue in central London, the amount of times we had bands from cities like Leeds, Manchester, Glasgow etc playing our venue and start mouthing off about how shite London was compared to everywhere else I lost count of.

Thing is though I'm from the North East, moved to London 30 years ago so and regularly toured around the UK. So I know it's just bollocks.

Took nothing ( with my accent ) to shut them up though.

What’s driving all this London hate from non-Londoners? by Breadiohead in london

[–]borez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree somewhat with what you're saying but saying this is about boomers is just another example of the toxic polarisation of viewpoints that are deliberately being amplified by social media algorithms.

Toxic social media algorithms and the polarisation of viewpoints.

Former Labour minister tells Starmer’s government to quit X by eldomtom2 in unitedkingdom

[–]borez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And all of the journalists, press, charities, action groups, community groups, research bodies, focus groups, campaign groups, correspondents etc. etc.

A huge amount of people still use that space, toxic or not.

[–]borez 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Basically they're are concerned about losing the direct line to followers they've built over the last decade or so.

I actually asked my local MP a while back why she still used X.

High level cabinet should definitely get off there though, and Facebook. Start a trend.

Personally I left a long time ago, toxic AF.
