It says the houses are both council owned and housing association owned, and that £17m is being spent refurbishing them.

For Linux folks, it’s also available on FlatHub.

I’ve installed it on my steam deck and mapped the triggers to the left and right… uh… flappy things?

It works really well, and whenever people see it they’re like whoaaaaa I remember that!!

You don’t take on an Englishman at a football ground, they get all kinds of attack and defensive buffs

It literally verifiably is what you said.

Fascist.

They obviously aren’t though lol.

Thatcher wasn’t going around nationalising things.

I can’t believe Labour let this go on for four years.

We aren’t selling them weapons.

We aren’t selling them weapons anymore.

Yes you have. That’s what you said.

You still haven’t explained how our laws and justice system is fascist.

I keep inviting you to expand and you won’t. Where’s this fascism?

Your take that if you’re respected in our legal system you’re a fascist, and our legal system is fascistic oppression is utterly delusional to the point of idiocy. I’ve seen many, many, many brain-dead takes on Lemmy, but this is easily in the top 3.

That is an absolutely insane position.

Working in the court system is not “close to fascism” and having laws is not “a tool of oppression and control a la fascism”.

You are unbelievably sheltered, and you’re diminishing the actual meaning of fascism. It’s not when a country has laws and courts to enforce them. That is beyond a clown take.

I’m not looking at it through a modern lense. It was very insecure at the time, too. I worked in a PC repair shop and at the time that business was a money printer in terms of getting rid of endless malware.

Later versions of windows cleared up the horrendous security to such an extent that the shop was no longer economically viable, and we had to close.

XP was not the first consumer version based on NT, I don’t know why you think that.

Although yes, the DOS versions were even worse. Well, in theory anyway. In practice not, since most people at that time didn’t have PCs that old connected to the internet.

They did, it was called “Windows 8” and nobody liked it.

I would not consider Win8 a “refinement” of Win7 lol, they changed the entire UX, added an app store they tried to force people into, created a new executable format, etc.

Windows 8 is basically the polar opposite of a “refinement” release!

Idk, it was horrendously insecure, would freeze a lot, and missing creature comforts like window tiling.

Tbh I think you’re letting nostalgia blind you to XP’s flaws a little.

If they kept refining Win7 it would’ve been great.

Curious that you’ve referred to some “that” which implies a specific thing but all I said was the UK legal system in action which is very general. I wonder what the specific thing is in your mind.

I don’t even know what you’re trying to say here.

I’d echo that back. If you think the UK legal system is any way just and not a tool of oppression and control (a la fascism) then you must be extremely sheltered.

Again repeating you think our courts and legal system is fascist.

Gonna even attempt to prove these claims?

Because having laws and courts is not fascism. Nor are our courts or legal system fascist.

Fallacy fallacy.

You are out of your mind and extremely sheltered if you think our courts are anything even close to fascist.

Close to fascism, are you crazy?

Starmer fascist? Lmao

Having a legal system = fascist now

Incredible.

Good. Our prisons have been full for a while, and Conservatives built fuck all. They even scrapped plans for a new prison.

I live less than 1km from HMP Northumberland and I can happily say that it’s seemingly getting some upgrades too, as is our closest hospital.

Quite refreshing to see things being built again, and having a bit more long-term planning.

I know people here appear to have the opinion that having a legal system and prisons = fascism, but that’s an absurd and extremist opinion.

If someone rapes/kills/grievously assaults someone, or whatever, there has to be prison spaces available for them. Overcrowding in prisons has led to worse outcomes - re-offending, radicalisation, lack of prisoner and guard safety, etc. We need to build.

Building prisons is not fascist. The world needs prisons, and we’ve not been building any despite the population increasing and existing prisons being full.

That absolutely won’t happen.

Everybody on Lemmy and Reddit were saying the same when they banned account sharing and price increases. In reality their subscriber numbers went through the roof and so did their profits.
