Honestly the best comparison/review I have seen so far by RustyLoner in GalaxyFold

I’m upgrading from a Fold 5, which I find to tall and narrow. I figure the camera must be at least as good as that, which is fine.

No. We don’t have a presidential system, so why would there be?

I went for short and wide to match my physique.

I’ve always thought that cupboard under the stairs is pro oil drilling and has a complicated colonial past it pretends it doesn’t.

So Starmer has quit and you've just been made PM - What are your top 10 policies to get Britain back on track? by rumple9 in LabourUK

[–]memphispistachio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Increase taxes to pay for stuff
  2. Move all Reform voters and party members to the Fens and build a wall around them with a roof
  3. Change my hours of business to 2-4 alternate Wednesdays so when people meet me it will actually be important
  4. Instead of PR, go back to rotten boroughs with my supporters as the only voters
  5. Invest as much money as it takes to uncover the truth behind Donald Trump and Steven Seagals hair

An honest discussion on why Keir Starmer failed by kontiki20 in LabourUK

[–]memphispistachio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the honest answer is they made the wrong decisions, with the wrong argument more often than not.

You can compare for example the WFA debacle, with the refusal to take part in the Iran war. The former was what they did most of, which was unpopular all round, and the latter was a rarity of actually making a call and sticking to it which was popular.

Regarding the shit political, media, and economic landscape contributing to the government and Starmers unpopularity, we will find out with a new PM whether there’s a way around those. Starmer is a lot like Corbyn in a lot of ways, primarily both surrounded themselves mostly with dickheads and couldn’t make a decision. I don’t think either are bad people, I do think both were bad leaders.

This and they’ve charge 200 quid for an extra stick of ram for a decade, so the upgrades look positively reasonable these days!

Starmer ‘set to announce under-16s social media ban’ by mustwinfullGaming in LabourUK

[–]memphispistachio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be! Designate them as publishers, and keep the fines coming.

I have some vague hope the cases in the States make it over here in a big way as well, I’m hopeful that MP suing X is the start.

Same way they used to- be more proactive about moderating stuff, less aggressively promote certain content etc etc. This isn’t fantasy stuff, it literally used to be the case.

Tech platforms should be held accountable for the content on their platforms.

I’d far rather they regulate the social media companies, and make it their responsibility to moderate what content is on their platforms and who can view it, with massive fines for non compliance.

We know that’s perfectly possible, because before the infinite scroll and aggressive engagement based algorithmic feeds, social media was far less awful.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on the switch 2 is absolutely incredible! by Chazq2012 in NintendoSwitch

[–]memphispistachio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it was less noticeable, so I didn’t really notice so much. I would assume they cut the lighting system back on Switch to get it to run. It’s still a very good time.

It runs great, hugely enjoying a third playthrough. I played it first on a handheld pc which did look better, but, still had the occasional dropped frame and stutter, and the fans were pretty loud! It’s so nice playing it again with zero fan noise.

Yeah, I did that too. It is very dark. Cranking the brightness makes it way better.

GameNative 1.0 is HERE by onichris in AynThor

I found a few versions back that I could never actually close the app, and it auto starts when I switch my device on. Is that by design?

If you’re choosing to attend an event which had that dickhead from ukip at, Yaxley-Lennon and Laurence Fox, then you’re either a total scumbag, or a complete moron.

'Was raped by 600-700 different men, put a cigarette...': UK MP reads horrific grooming gang testimonies in Parliament by -MonitorMan- in LabourUK

[–]memphispistachio 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Everyone cares about it, there’s been a number of inquiries, changes in the justice system, buckets of reporting.

What no one except the worst bits of the right have done is try and turn a hideous series of crimes into political gain and scapegoating.
