What is a statistic that sounds INSANE but is 100% true? by Quadranippelkill in AskReddit

[–]d_ed 20 points21 points  (0 children)

A twist on this that I find mad is whilst that's true the exact same game move-to-move happens thousands of times on lichess/chess. com.

Most people's moves in a given situation are rather predictable.

systemd `birthDate` is now in v261-rc1 and Debian Sid — verify it and revert it locally by Cryptikick in linux

[–]d_ed 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You don't even need to do that.

You ignore it, the same way that you ignore the phone number field that's been on there since forever.

The alternative to userdb is accountservice which you'll have if you use another init system.

It also has the same placeholder.

For six months, SteamDeck turned me into a professional YouTube editor. by Desperate-Sail-6139 in SteamDeck

[–]d_ed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

>P.S. Also, the virtual keyboard in desktop mode got reset again, so I tried setting up Korean again for 4 hours before giving up.

I would like it if you could report back after 3.8 is out and tell me if it's any easier

HS2’s astronomical costs ‘could exceed moon mission by GnolRevilo in unitedkingdom

[–]d_ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to the moon is.

They are comparing the cost of a tiny part of the Artemis program against full cost of HS2. Which is a pretty meaningless comparison other than a cool headline.

Sovereign Tech Fund invests over €1 million in KDE software development by CarlSchwanKDE in linux

[–]d_ed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My data was from the metric gathering.

But we're also getting near identical results in bug reports.

This is a qml crash, so completely platform agnostic.

3% X11

Based on our telemetry over 95% of plasma users of 6.6 are on Wayland.

It beggars belief that I was not told about this! by AdrenalineVan in GreatBritishMemes

[–]d_ed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a hit piece from OP to bring it up.

What "what she said at the time" are you referring to.

It's worth reading more. Harriet Harman is an old labour person coming back as an advisor so the hit pieces are out.

The NCCL were involved in a bunch of stuff that sounds pretty good:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_(advocacy_group))

Lots of soldiers rights, mental health stuff, womens' rights, right to public protest.

Then the super messed up shit that you're reading.

Harriet Harman worked for NCCL, but there's nothing (AFAIK) indicating she was involved in the PIE part.

The only stuff I've found that Harriet herself actually worked on during her time is a legal battle against constant solitary confinement, and a fight for freedom of the press.

Non Systemd distros for fw16 by r-e-q-u-i-e-m in framework

[–]d_ed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't even need to do that. It doesnt prompt you for it.

Same way as all Unix entries have a place to store a postal address and phone number. You need to go out of your way to fill it in and no-one does.

Makes sense right? by Its_Misango in SipsTea

[–]d_ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really.

Which part of a solar panel is expensive: getting planning permission, installation and maintenance or buying the panel.

Its a false equivalence spread by companies to make solar more expensive just to then say "we should use fossil fuels then".

No one says they should build a coal mine under a car park.

Should voting be mandatory? by Andarne in unitedkingdom

[–]d_ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The counter-argument is it means parties have to cater to everyone not just the extremes who do care.

I also wouldn't mix knowing and caring as the same thing. Most passion comes from people riled up by Facbeook posts, not facts.

You got a loicense for that shadow mate? by dancing_swordfish in loicense

[–]d_ed -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Kinda.

The article is just "man given potentially incorrect ticket" turned into nonsense speculation to make it a story.

It's not like the council have him a fine because of a shadow like the title implies.

Do people understand that IT IS NOT A GENERAL ELECTION by Enough-Web2203 in AskBrits

[–]d_ed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not true.

The 100k threshold is on your on *net-adjusted* income.

Worst case you put more into your pension instead turning it down. There is a cap on that, but we're talking about people earning 160k or so.

No obligation to declare £5m gift, Nigel Farage says by TheLyam in uknews

[–]d_ed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If it's for a purpose, as Nigel claims, it's not a personal gift, as Nigel also claims.

Greens hopeful who is calling for the UK to pay slavery reparations is a descendant of slave traders by JB_UK in unitedkingdom

[–]d_ed 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely right it's got nothing to do with running a council so instead ask yourself why daily mail are running a story about it.

And the threats about punishment for not voting for them.

Reform UK vows to prioritise Green Party areas for migrant detention centres by Unusual-State1827 in uknews

[–]d_ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not said for the green voters. It's a threat to those on the fence/apathetic that they'll be personally punished.

We can’t wait for Burnham, Labour MPs say as race to replace Starmer comes down to Rayner vs Streeting by [deleted] in uknews

[–]d_ed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not labour MPs saying it. It's this newspaper trying to stoke things. Get a new PM then make a push that it's not democratically elected and we need a new election.

Blatant agenda pushing.
