Arrests != Jail. Read the original comment.

For a new political party to succeed in the uk you need millions in funding, and nobodys going to fund something that potentially affects their vast sums of money. "Just start a new party and tell people about it" is perhaps the m

Maybe it's just me but this looks like a nightmare to get any work done. Way too cluttered and uncomfortable looking. That "Desk" if it can be called that just looks like someone nipped down to their local DIY shop and picke

Oh 100% we are. Most likely outcome is Reform get in during the next election and we end up with Farage trying to "Make Britain Great Again" or some such nonsense. Crap times ahead!

Most of the 3rd parties being used for this are based in the US. You're sending your photo and details to a foreign entity. That same foreign entity is likely used by lots of sites. Oh look, that foreign entity now has a profile of you

Yup it is right now. Altho probably not quite as bad as watching your country turn into a fascist state, but hey ho we all have our problems.

That might also be the case but some things on that list arent blocked at all in the UK (yet). It doesn't appear to be actually checked and anyone can submit a link and it just gets added from the looks of it.

What would the alternative for a namespace separator be? The backslashes work well with PSR-4 to give a logical visual of the expected directory structure.

No, not even close to good. I'm having to convert to US gallons to Imperial here but... My old ICE car was getting approx 50mpg (which is approx 41mpg for you) and was considered poor for its age. My new one (hybrid) is 60mpg (approx 5

Cant say I've ever experienced that, been using it several years on a range of hardware types (all mac based). The UI freezing would be something local, it's not literally running every action through a 3rd party server.

by esskay 1y ago
I do wonder what the ongoing cost there would be. The ~$9k hardware cost is an easy thing to quantify, but going with a bank of very hot, power hungry GPU's is going to rack up a hefty monthly bill in many parts of the world. I imagine

What 'other' templating thing? I'm assuming you're likely talking about either Intertia or Livewire. Inertia's more geared towards SPAs than Livewire though. Most Laravel devs tend to use JS sparingly - not everythi

I'm not sure trying to bad mouth it by bringing up a 5+ year old long fixed thing is the right way to go about making a point. Heck if we're doing that theres vastly more "wrong" over at Mozilla and Google to complain ab

As I said I think it's more of a perception thing than an actual slowness. I don't think Firefox is actually any slower in a practical test of loading a site for example, I just perceived it as being slower, perhaps more likely it

by esskay 1y ago
I really struggled going back to Firefox after being a Chrome user for so long, it just feels so incredibly slow in comparison - I know it's probably just perception but I couldn't shake that feeling. I ended up going with Brave.

Yup same, the whole toxic culture of lies surrounding it makes things worse as theres people trapped in this weird little bubble of believing half the stories on there. Most are completely fabricated. For me personally I gave up on SaaS a c

And not only that, people are cheering them on for making slop. The amount of high fiving and patting on the back and the moronic 'bro culture' around these sorts of products especially on Xitter is insane.

By that logic you'd have to extend the same argument to Firefox, Chrome and Edge. All have a bunch of "evil" (which by your own definition evil = thing that makes a business money) things that can be disabled. Once you'v

The crypto part is an optional thing, which takes a split second to turn off - thats it. Once its off you are basically running chrome without the google call home, and with a built in adblocker unaffected by manifest v3. It's also ope

It takes less than a minute, one time. "tuning" really isn't the word here, it's literally flicking a couple of toggles and you're done.
