BBC: UK Election 2024: Exit poll results
  • Personally I know more people who've moved away from Labour than to it, I just acknowledge that people outside of cities exist and that I live in something of a bubble.

    Refusing to accept that is the sort of thinking that gets Reform so many votes as many people in large cities forget that the majority of the population don't live in cities, and so don't suffer from the problems there so much (higher cost of living and lower labour availability than rural areas) and so don't care so much about progressive or socialist policies.

    EDIT: sorry, it's late, I misread, I'll keep this up and maybe edit again later because I'm too sleepy to respond to what you actually said right now

  • President 360 No Scope...
  • The president has always been allowed to assassinate you... They're in charge of the CIA/FBI/NSA/IRS/Other scary 3 letters who assassinate people all the time.

    Making presidents immune in official actions is almost required given the sheer number of decisions they have to make and the scrutiny they're under means they're sure to break laws sometimes, plus the subjectivity of some laws (eg is making bad decisions and crashing the econony/causing infighting in the military or whatever else treason?) however in unofficial actions they should absolutely not be immune.

  • Block rule
  • Even if you're not banned from hexbear can you really interact with it?

    I wouldn't call someone going through the wikipedia article for informal fallacies like it's a checklist then brigading all your past activities an interaction so much as an experience, and not a good one at that.

  • 40 Kilobyte Rule
  • it's also worth mentioning that JPEG was designed for photographs, where there's a very high likelihood that each pixel of an image will be a different colour to those immediately next to it. Because of this, JPEG not only has higher file sizes for text and 2d graphics/pixel art than PNG and especially a compressed SVG (which would far and away be the best method of representing the mario image - it's close to the same "tile" thing but transferrable and well supported), but it also results in artifacts and lower quality of the image.

  • Still undecided who to vote for in the 2024 General Election? This site may help.
  • Their summaries of all parties stances but Reform are close to identical for the vast majority of issues; how can they write them and think "yes, people will be able to pick exactly one of these, and that should have as much weighting against the identical policies to the ones you picked as the ones you actually disagree with"

    It'd be so much better and probably easier to not have the shortlisting/final pick system and just let you say "I agree with this" or "I disagree with this" and leave it at that

  • The Top 20 Planet Wrecker Countries by Expansion Emissions 2023 - 2050
  • This is so niche... Not current production, not future production, not emissions, just the difference between production now and production later seemingly designed to give the middle east and Venezuela a pass because they're already producing a crazy amount

  • Britain and Ireland if all polar ice on Earth melted (+ coastlines during last ice age)
  • It wasn't, however the association with Great Britain is undeniable, especially when Lesser Britain doesn't even refer to Ireland any more (in Roman times it did), but Brittany, however "British Isles" was in use by the Greeks (at least Prettanic Isles) before even that - well before the union of England and Scotland, never mind Ireland's conquest.

    Personally I'm happy with Atlantic Isles/Islands/Archipelago as I agree the term isn't great due to the implicit association, but it's not like it was something just made up by colonists.

  • Britain and Ireland if all polar ice on Earth melted (+ coastlines during last ice age)
  • It does, especially given the name predates the country by 2-3 thousand years; it's not exactly optimal but in reality "These Islands" is the only alternative and something is needed to refer to them from outside the islands.

  • Also, you have been turned into a worm.
  • but the room two rooms down is always occupied, for eternity. If you were to instruct everyone to pack their bags, exit in exactly 10 minutes and move two rooms up, you're always going to have people being late and not vacating the room, so you'll be dealing with people at reception complaining that they don't have a room, or that there's someone in their room. If you're telling people (or indeed boulders) to move into occupied rooms anyway, then just tell sis & boulder to move into the first two rooms without moving anyone. If you're not, then wait for someone to check out, as they'd have to wait for a nondeterminate length of time anyway.

  • Basically abuse
  • Dependant on location of course

    Do your research - if you have native small cats and few large predators (ie Europe, North Africa) it's probably fine. If you don't (ie Australia, America) then it's definitely not

  • Cutting the ‘green crap’ has added £22bn to UK energy bills since 2015
  • My parents 1741 house with new double glazing is like that - cool in summer, hot in winter without even needing the heating

    I'm amazed that we collectively forgot how to build houses but I guess 2ft thick walls make a dent in the size of the living space and you've got to build a box with paper thin walls and no garden to optimise that

  • Is it possible to run a LLM on a mini-pc like the GMKtec K8 and K9?
  • LLMs have a very predictable and consistent approach to grammar, punctuation, style and general cadence which is easily identifiable when compared to human written content. It's kind of a watermark but it's one the creators are aware of and are seeking to remove. That means if you want to use LLMs as a writing aid of any sort and want it to read somewhat naturally, you'll have to either get it to generate bullet points and expand on them yourself, or get it to generate the content then rewrite it word for word in a style you'd write it in.

  • Can we shut up with the "EEE" shit already?

    Meta exist to make a profit, however they're never going to be able to advertise to most people in the fediverse, who also happen to be some of the most knowledgeable people in some fields. If they accept that they're never going to be able to advertise to those people, they go for the next best thing: monetising their content. Some here may rightfully have an issue with a corporation monetising their content, however by federating with the fediverse and being the first company able to monetise the content within it, Meta have a vested interest in not extinguishing the fediverse.

    Complain about their privacy violations or them monetising content they don't generate as much as you want, but remember they're smart & money hungry, and the smartest thing they can do in their position is to make money out of people they otherwise wouldn't be able to.
