I was going to put Bedfordshire in brackets next to that, but I forgot. I knew it could cause confusion!

I think the rest of my communities haven’t seen activity lately, so I’ll have to post in them first!

Vote for the Shower of Shit party! We’re the best choice for Britain.

They were good before (and please correct me if I’ve got this wrong) EB bought them and did a “reverse takeover”. Since that point they’ve been going downhill.

The focus these days seems to be on tactical voting… Maybe that’s why it hasn’t been updated?

howtovote.co.uk was probably the site, but it’s not been updated since 2015.

It used to be automatic, but the Tories changed it. Probably to stop too many students voting for somebody else.

I missed them, of course. They are set to return tonight but probably not as good.

Morrisons used to do “buy as many eggs as you like”. It was ace! I haven’t been in there for a while so don’t know if they’ve stopped. But basically you could take a box and take as many eggs as you liked.

They were near the fruit and veg rather than with the other eggs (in Bedford, anyway).

Hopefully they’re still doing this.

Yeah, same. I set it up as it looked like the best way to control my inverter - I wanted to set it to charge from the grid when electricity was free, and discharge during saving sessions without having to do it manually. I then expanded to trying to calculate how much charge I needed overnight in cheap rate based on the solar forecast for the next day…

Anyway, I now have everything on it and keep thinking of things to add.

I turned it off after a few seconds because it was in French.

I like how all the other instances have taken it incredibly seriously, and we’ve basically sent Scooch.

Royaume-Uni - Nil points

This has everything!

There’s also some sort of soft blocking option, which largely hides the instance AIUI but still gives the ability to follow users. This seems like a better option rather than completely defederating.

If Meta want to scrape your data they can do that anyway. All defederation does is stops you looking at their stuff (which, as you say, can be blocked at the user level anyway)

There’s also Linen.

I have, but it’s the news agencies which decided to remove this image. I assume the gutter press didn’t care.

I don’t think it’s shock that photos are edited, I think it’s the press being cautious not to post “fake news” and being wary of anything that isn’t an original photograph.

In this case it seems pretty obvious that nothing substantial has been changed, but they probably take a hard line on it especially in the age of AI, and just reject anything which looks like it has been manipulated. There are whole departments dedicated to fact checking.

So, I think the news is that Kate is fine and well, and is experimenting with Photoshop maybe with the extra time away from the public eye.

Thanks for taking this on!

How was your delivery?

Rubbish!

I suspect that one was banned back in 2005 (if it’s even valid, not sure the “I” is used?)
