Many many thanks! First time I have won a photo competition. Lovely to be a member of such talented people and love this little corner of the internet.

There is a lot of “I voted Brexit and now admit my mistake” kind of sentiment going around at the moment. I saw a youtube video of a pensioner who basically drove around Europe in his caravan, staying 9 months a year in Spain who voted for Brexit. He was now saying what a mistake it was; but here’s the rub… The twat was not sorry for the damage that he had caused to the economy or the youth of the UK. All he was concerned about was the effect that it was having on him; the selfish prick! Upset that his caravan needed to be sold as he could only travel 90 days out of 180 and so it had doubled his living costs and how he and his friends vans were now worth a fraction of what they were as no-one wants them due to the restrictions.

Fuck him and fuck the others like him. Self pitying selfish pricks who are reaping what they sewed.

My heart bleeds for the youth and those that voted no to Brexit. The ones that vote leave deserve everything they get and more! Fuck 'em.

Rant over…

Oh I agree with you and am not defending this practise. Was just trying to explain why it’s done.

All four seats are heated for free if the battery explodes… /s

Because it’s cheaper for them. Building all the cars the same simplifies production and inventory management. They don’t have to configure each car for the end users requirements; they just use software to turn these features on.

The question that should be asked is if they can put these features into the car and still make a profit why are these added features so expensive as all the fees are 100% profit!

Then why not say every rouble made in Russia will go to humanitarian aid? I’ll tell you why; it’s because they are still making money by being in Russia. It’s corporate greed through and through. These fuckers make no sacrifice until it hurts their bottom line.

Check out the extension ‘cookie autodelete’. Enables you to set safe sites and will automatically delete all the other cookies when you navigate away from a page of close the browser. It’s real simple to configure and works a treat. It’s also available for chromium browsers. (I use it in Edge for work purposes)

I thought it was supposed to be the best privacy browser but after reading these comments my view has changed completely and have switched all devices to Firefox.

Smartdns is your friend for iPlayer and other UK geo fenced public tv services. Been using it for years and years…

Deleted all my comment and post history from there when I was directed to Lemmy. Zero regrets. Have not looked back. Find the engagement here far better; proper discussions without the trolls. Loving it… Also tried Mastodon and enjoying that too even though I never used twitter.

Used to spend hours each day on Reddit and was active contributor on the subreddits I subscribed to. Hoping we get some of the less popular and specialised communities here so we all got to make an effort to support the smaller ones by posting and commenting.

Has a mini hurricane in my old town in Southern Germany yesterday. Blew the roof off a supermarket. (Was a Netto so only 52€ of damage to stock was done)

Why does it look like he is in some shady strip club from the 80’s?

This applies to other electronic devices other than just phones right? Are things like tablets, earbuds, smart watches, etc also covered?

Sure and I agree with you. He has been very open with his struggles with depression over decades. They are reporting he is receiving medical care and will be for the foreseeable future; and given how recent this is likely to have been triggered by him finding out it was going to be reported last Thursday.

Of course there is also the point that this has been blown out of all proportions. The police don’t seem to be pursuing a case and now some news outlets are saying he broke lockdown rules. Well frankly a huge number of people broke lockdown rules…

I do feel sorry for him and hope he gets the care that he needs as the press are going to be like a dog with a bone; especially the murdoch owned tabloids who want the bbc shut down.

They are pushing he has ‘mental health issues’ which doesn’t sit right. Looks like they are trying to say his behaviour was due to these issues. It’s not fair to others suffering with their mental health….

More like 6.5 lives for each year as he will likely only serve 6 years…

What have google brought new to the market before killing it before it gains momentum? My prediction is for them to fall first out of the big tech companies.

In A.I they have lost the race already and the competitors are going to eat their web search in the not to distance future. The biggest thing they have right now imo is android and that only on mobile phones as the tablet is dominated by Apple.

They have lost trust with the tech savvy as we all know their products have such a short shelf life and we have been burnt before. They have very few chances left.

As I understand it 16 is the legal age of consent. So a pensioner can have sex with a 16 year old and no legal laws are broken. (Unless the elder is a teacher, sports tutor, medical professional of the tenager). What is illegal though is to ask for or send explicit photographs of someone before the age of 18…

Also the Sun newspaper is a hypocritical shit rag. They were printing topless photos of Sam Fox on their daily page 3 ‘feature’ when she was 16……

It’s a sad fact but the vast majority of my fellow country people are bloody idiots and as long as there’s something good on the gogglebox or the local Wetherspoons is still open then there’s bugger all to complain about.l and they will tow the line.

Brexit / tories / civil liberties eroded such as the right to protest all went ahead without a hint of rebellion. Now it’s their privacy and more civil liberties that are being taken and hardly anyone is taking any notice. It really is a sad state of affairs.

Here’s what I make of it… It’s bullshit…
