"Concerns" - sure, be concerned but let the trial play out. That's the point of a trial, to assess if something works or not.

The problem with MPs is that they continually ignore facts in favour of stupidity.

You haven’t shopped on Amazon for an sd card have you?

That plus if they are selling a non-standardised service to a business it can be challenging to work out the cost. Projects, consultancy, etc all need to be scoped and estimated.

Thanks Tom! I appreciate the work you are doing to keep the server up and running.

I sometimes think this is because of commercial real-estate, the death of the high-street, Pret not making as much money, etc.

But more often than not I think that it is because MPs and CEOs don't actually like spending time with their families. Their work is their hobby, they don't want to be 'home with the kids', and they like the office culture they have developed over their career. In the office they are important. At home they have to do the dishes.

It’s easily got to the point where home broadband is not the limiting factor. We are a home of 2 people and our 500Mbps is more than sufficient.

At work we found that people’s home WiFi is way more limiting than the incoming connection.

I concur, but what type of salt and vinegar?

• Discos: Not as good as they were when I were a lad.
• Walkers: Consistently ok.
• Kettle: Good if you are feeling a bit posh, but the balsamic vinegar can be overwhelming.
• McCoy's Ridge Cut: Excellent.

A Belfast student has called for Of Mice and Men to be removed from the GCSE English literature course. Angel Mhande raised concerns about racial slurs used in the book, including the N-word.

Professor of American literature at Queen's University Belfast Philip McGowan said teachers needed more detailed guidance on how to teach Of Mice and Men.

If a petition is not on https://petition.parliament.uk then it is definitely worthless, in my opinion.

If a petition is on https://petition.parliament.uk then at least there is a small chance of a parliamentary debate.

Hate to be the one to tell you this, but it looks like she was searching for it.

I suggested to my wife that she should use a different house for marmite.

Bollocks, sometimes with a modifier:

Fucking bollocks Fucking load of bollocks Bollocky fuck twat What a load of bollocks Bollocks That's bollocks

Looks to me like it is the school that is taking the piss.

I love a good burger, but the wife isn't so keen. Burgers are now a treat for me.. Honest Burger is my go-to chain for 'It's pretty good'.

I put the green (it's green for garden waste here) bin out on Friday and they emptied it, which I consider a win given all the local politics about strikes and stuff.

It's going to be interesting how this plays out. I also see where they are coming from, but severing people from a community in either direction will cause upset.

Lemmy and Lemmy like services are not the same as Mastodon like services. It's the 'then' vs the 'now'. It doesn't matter so much if my Mastodon history and reputation is severed because the focus is on 'now'. Lemmy on the other hand relies on the history of each community.

Edit: I do see this from another perspective as well... there are a huge number of communities being started (I presume this is people trying to either recreate Reddit or to land-grab similarly named communities) but not a huge amount of content being posted.

I had to check it wasn’t April 1st.

Fair play to them, if they think they can do better elsewhere then have at it.

I think the minimum for the Telegraph is 100 words for which he will be paid thousands.

I am sick of everything having a wall-wart transformer, especially where the size or shape prevents other things from being plugged into the adjacent sockets.

Biscuit of the day (BOTD)

What is your favourite biscuit? What biscuit will you be having with elevensies? What biscuit do you hate? What do you call a garibaldi?

There is also !bristol@lemmy.ml because what would this would be with only one Bristol?
