Except that the UK taxed all its locally produced coal so much that it was cheaper to import more dirty coal from China than use fresh, relatively clean coal excavated from Wales. If a power station wanted to use Chinese coal, they only had to pay import duty. But if they wanted to use cleaner Welsh coal they had to pay taxes on the extraction, refinement and then the same export tax they levied everywhere else. Welsh coal was some of the highest quality in the world, but it was exported and more toxic stuff burned locally because that was more profitable.

That's way too fast, you need a speed of 3600 RPM to generate at 60Hz (3000 RPM for 50Hz).

It's crazy, basically the 2nd American civil war. Miners storming Pinkerton machine gun nests is how the US got down to a 40 hour work week.

Yep that sounds like the story!

Yeah I suspect this was filmed at the original version, from memory they toured around a bit and then cheaped out and fucked it all up. Like, the new Shrek costume was really bad and just looked like a green man had been shopping at the Gap.

Edit: according to the video linked in the comment below, it first ran in 2008 and was really good. Then, in 2024 they revived it, and it was bad. Really bad. For starters, the revival was anti-union and didn't hire any union workers.

Didn't they like stop paying the actors or something and then cheap out with the costumes?

Hell the US came and joined Israel's side in a war after the IDF sank the USS Liberty.

Microsoft are unlike Facebook and Google in that they make you pay for the software they use to steal your data.

My experience is limited, but not no experience. In any case, it's not like Windows 10 will be immediately unusable when support ends.

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 22 points 1 month ago (7 children)

What are your plans when end of life /support comes to Windows ten?

Switch to Linux and run virtual machines when I need to use Windows.

Right now I don't quite have the drive to do it, but an end to support for Windows 10 would push me over the edge. I just can't stand Windows 11, not even because of all the bullshit but just the way it mandates the UI structure - last time I tried it my dealbreaker was that you can't just have it always display all taskbar icons, you have to manually force each one to show. If a new icon comes up, it will be hidden.

I'm sure I'll be there with you soon enough.

 

I've had enough of the text editing issue, where when you press backspace it highlights the space before the word and ends up deleting it. The developer passes off responsibility for this to the engine they use and seems to have no intention of addressing it.

What are the pros and cons of the other Android apps? I'm only considering ones on F-Droid, not the Play Store, so that rules out Summit and Boost. Ones I have available are:

  • Thunder (IzzyOnDroid)
  • Interstellar (IzzyOnDroid)
  • Voyager
  • Eternity
  • muffed (IzzyOnDroid)
  • Combustible
 

When did this happen?! It makes me so happy!

It's still not quite as good as old reddit with RES was, where you started with everything normal and then clicked a button to expand (or contract) media. Being able to contract everything is almost as useful, particularly if you want to scroll further down. However it's still a great improvement, as well as proof that lemmy just keeps getting better.

 

Rule 1: No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

I'm struggling here. Xenophobia? But they clearly do not support either side.

 

If you use both as justification, you don't have to worry about different communities having them the other way around. It gets real fun when a community has the rules one way, but the instance sets them the other way.

Rule 1: No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

Rule 2: Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.

Meanwhile, replying to the commenter with "My little cyκa" (bitch) received no moderation.

Frankly, moderators should be more detailed in their reports, and clearly specify which rules they are acting under.

The Removed Comment entries should also specify which community they were removed from, just like the bans. This would further clarify the set of rules being moderated under. You can determine this by viewing a community modlog, but not when viewing the modlog overall (although I'm sure the core database has this functionality).


However the user here definitely deserved moderation, and a 3 day ban is appropriate. Maybe not based on the first comment alone, but the overall haul of them. The Kkkracker label might not have been justified by those comments, but they certainly have a bias leaning that way, based on some of their other comments.

I almost thought this was another case of the mod removing the same comment multiple times, but no, the user really did post the same comment over and over again.

Text: Banned, reason: PUNISHMENT TIME BITCH! -> Unbanned -> Banned, reason: liberal

I bet they thought they were sending a message to the user, not writing an entry into a permanent log.

Moderation on lemmy really should include the option of messaging the user, though.

 

:(

Maybe it's just some regions, but I was waiting till I was ready..
