  • That could happen to the washing machine whether it's "smart" or not.

  • You'll need a broadcasting licence for that, mate.

  • Lemmy.zip blocks uk users on its front end but I think its contents is still federated.

  • Honestly I have no idea. I guess they could just block it if they don't comply?

  • Yeah I think that's what they'll be doing, seeing what the impact is to usage and also iron out any kinks before it gets rolled out to everyone.

  • Under the new UK law, lemmynsfw would also need to have some kind of age verification for UK users.

  • I don't think it's been fully rolled out to everyone yet, as they don't have to start enforcing it until a later date.

  • I thought this question was going to be about whether they opened outside or inside.

  • I think "buzz" is used a lot to people near Manchester too.

    People from Bolton (UK) get very defensive about the exact pronunciation of Bolton too. I heard this conversation several times between two colleagues:

     
        
    Colleague 1 (c1): "... that's because you're from Bolton"
    Colleague 2 (c2): "It's not Bolton, it's Bolton"
    C1: "What? That's what I said, Bolton"
    C2: "No, you said Bolton, it's Bolton"
    C1: "You're saying the same thing, Bolton"
    C2: "No, Bolton"
    C1: "That's what I'm saying!"
    Me: "what. the. FUCK"
    
    
      

    If you've ever seen Brooklyn Nine Nine and Jake would say "Nikolaj" and then Charles would correct him saying the exact same thing, it was exactly like that, but saying "Bolton" instead.

    Also I heard several people from Wigan say "A packet of crisp" and not "A packet or crisps".

    Also forgot about this one: I used to live in South Wales, and people would say "Premark" instead of "Primark". They'd think I was the weird one for saying it like Primark.

  • How are PeerTube instances funded? I'd imagine that the cost of running an instance is significantly higher than a Lemmy instance.

  • True, but in order to make it a healthy viable alternative to centralised platforms then there needs to be a financial incentive for creators to use peertube. I guess any creators who give a shit about this kind of thing could upload their content to both platforms, but doing so could have an impact on their YouTube earnings.

    Early youtube was beautiful precisely because it was normal people making videos as a hobby, not trying to earn money.

    It was also a novelty as it as very new, but the quality of content being put out now is significantly higher than it was in 2005.

  • As a parent of two young kids, there's definitely times where getting kidnapped sounds good.

  • What is it about Java where companies are hesitate to upgrade? Do the Java releases always bring breaking changes or are the companies that use Java have a culture of not prioritising tech upgrades?

  • No. But my wife does and doesn't reset the display so it'll just show 3 rather than the time.

  • In the UK in 2023, it was about 2.5 per 100,00 people.

  • !unitedkingdom@lemmy.ml

    I'm not a mod of the feddit.uk equivalent so it's not up to me, but I'd be cautious about doing so. I have lemmy.ml blocked so I can't see their posts or comments, but I'm a bit wary about their users, it would be like redirecting a unitedkingdom community from hexbear or grad.

    !UKCasual@lemmy.world

    Yeah we can reach out to the mods there and see if they'd want to redirect to us.

  • This has been pretty much our experience too when our kids have been ill, except they didn't have their own room but a small ward.

  • I think it's more to do with phones - people are just more likely to do most tasks on a phone rather than a laptop.

  • NASA+ remains available for free, with no ads, through the NASA app and on the agency’s website.

    It could be that Netflix can promote it on the platform to garner more interest.
