MPs give ministers powers to restrict entire Internet in c/uk_politics@feddit.uk
[–] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 11 points 19 hours ago

Ah you see. You are making the classic mistake.

Of talking like someone who has a basic idea how the internet works.

Unfortunately your target audience (MPs). Dispite being the generation that invented it. Still think of it as a fancy telephone exchange from the 1980s. So assume it's just telling a few mega corps to do as they are told.

Add a bunch of money grabbing business leade rs into the mix. And suddenly the stupid laws make sense.

Yvette Cooper rejects Blair’s call for UK to have backed Trump’s strikes on Iran in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk
[–] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 5 points 3 days ago

Fucking disgusting. The right wing as a whole ignoring the clear fact. Voters in no way support this war. Or Israel's actions as a whole.

It is so fucking clear that the rightwing is not responding to political pressure. But billionaires funding their pressure to change voters minds.

Their was a time not so long ago. Where all political donations to parties were expected to go via the party.

It is amazing how personal donations have expended in the last 30 years. With huge Coralation to the growth of wealth inequality moving the UK to the top 10 most unequal nations. Matching the push to the rightwing for those at the top,

ChatGPT driving rise in reports of ‘satanic’ organised ritual abuse, UK experts say in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk
[–] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 8 points 3 days ago

I lived near a house in the UK. Where in the late 70s the same rumers of satanic abuse and witchcraft cults existed. As a so called cult had been arrested.

Turns out to have been normal child paedofilea abuse. And a political cult. Just locals turning to satan and witchcraft. As a way to make it seem further from their own beliefs.

As chat got etc is trained on human responses. This is likely exactly the same. Folks seeing political figures acting like scum. And desperately looking for ways to define them as different to their own beliefs etc.

Just as every xtians church dose when priests or members are caught being sick arseholes.

MPs’ basic salary to rise to £110,000 by end of parliament, watchdog says in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk
[–] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 5 points 1 week ago

Ain't going to happen. Without folks joining parties that demand it.

PS it was voted as part of the YourParty constitution at conference. That no your party MP can not have a second job. Or accept any form of non party donations,

The donation thing was expected of all parties until recently. All this billionaires and foreign funded think tanks donating money to individuals rather then parties. Did not exist in the 90s.

Starmer Drags UK Into Trump and Israel’s War on Iran in c/uk_politics@feddit.uk

MkMkUseless alone. But absolutely any one of your possible answer is a fucking important one

And clear indication that some change is harming people in the UK.

The important fact is the recent increase. And hopefully a motivation to discover the further issue involved.

Elegoo Centauri Carbon questions in c/3dprinting@lemmy.world
[–] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

9I have the cc2 and had the Neptune 4 pro before that.

My honest view on elegoo.

While you get some amazing deals on their latest machines. When things go wrong. As in bad design issues. You will often find the community is the only real help. And that can take some time.

Elegoo seems to have a release a new version fix strategy rather then help existing customers.

They will stand by warremtee as far as replacement parts go. But their prices honestly mean any design issues are built in for the model you buy. (Given as a company. They do work on small margins. I. A field where such issues are common. It's hard to blame them.)

That said, the community is pretty darn good. And they are fairly open with their software etc, So alternatives etc are possible given time.

On the whole as an occasional user with a little technical ability. I consider them a good buy. But would hesitate if I needed them to be reliable for any form of business. I'm poor and find the fiddling fun sometimes. And can wait a bit and struggle when I have a project. If you do not think that way. Spend more on a printer with more support.

ATM the CC1 is likely the best deal on a core xy out there. But many community upgrades are advisable.

The CC2 fixes many of those needs. But it's lack of internal website introduces more. IE Linux is a pain. And their website has occasional issues.

Orca are openly working on support for CC2 web issue. But ATM generating it's GCode and moving via usb is required.

An upcoming California law requires operating system providers to enforce basic mandatory age verification in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Or just refusing to run servers in California. Much like the US DRM encryption restrictions of the 90s. Where the whole Linux community just had distributions required parts of the download to happen in non US servers.

A single, (although big and very active in Linux) state, will always have more limitations then a nation. The issue comes if it becomes US national. And then the US starts pushing other nations to sign agreements.

Given at some point trumps harm to all international treaties will likely be repaired. Their may come a huge opportunity for US politicians to renegotiate international treaties.

Assuming trust is ever returned.

Danish military evacuates U.S. submariner who needed urgent medical care off Greenland in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml
[–] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 4 points 2 weeks ago

He depends on his Maga supporters believing universal healthcare is a failure.

Actually needing US aid has less importance then convincing his voters of the need.

Let's face it. Nearly all left wing hosts and talk shows. Have made a point that Greenland will not give up universal healthcare to join the US.

So it's important he has some indication that the US needed to provide services to Greenland to continue to counter that political argument.

Just like bombing Venezuela and kidnapping it's leader. It's nothing to do with drugs. But is instead about making the lies about drugs more believable to the idiots that vote for him.

Why this school will ditch a shirt, tie and blazer from its uniform in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk
[–] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 1 points 2 weeks ago

Because school head teachers think it makes the students look well managed.

Think for a moment about UK history. Very little to non of it was implemented to ensure poor people were treated equally. And the introduction of uniforms was no more so.

Back in the day it was about wealthy schools looking like they were preparing students for work life. iE uniforms tried to match the idea that successful students would have to wear suits.

And as such uniforms were mainly used in city schools as more rural schools tought for farming or mining communities. Not office jobs,

In the 70s as less farming or mining jobs were expected.more schools tried to introduce dress codes to force dress standards for children expected to have to do so once working.

Opinion over infighting. (feddit.uk)
 

This is no more then an opinion. But I would be interested in others view of it.

If we believe ZS and her supporters internal to the process.

What is happening to YP is very similar to tumers from when JC was leading labour. We saw evidence of internal attacks from the right in 2019. But tumers of his supporters infighting and trying to take control were common before then.

I think I and many members from that time put them down to the right string trouble. But I'm now starting to wonder.

Corbyn made a effort to move labour more democratic and membership led right from the start. Continuing from eds reduction in union power.

Given ZS claims and other insiders reports to the guardian etc.

Is it likely that the right had help from left PLP under labour. And those same MPs and union leaders are using their history with Corbyn to embed control early into the YP set up.

Added to multiple comments we have seen throughout YP communities on social media. Indicating distrust in the whole idea of a membership lead control.

Is the idea something the left is willing to fight for.

This is very much interpreted from multiple emails and news articles.

So is opinion. But as I shared the membership portal. And it has been accused of being fake, I should share my opinion.

Supporters have received an email from YourParty.Uk saying the membership site was not official.

But another email from Zahah Sultana suggest she sent the email and set up the site I shared. News articles agree that she is indeed suggesting other MPs are trying to freeze her out of the process. I have emailed her directly for confirmation. But expect a delay to answers.

The claim seems to be that the roadmap emails were sent without her (or by some interpretations). Jeremys approval. Dispite this being a requirement of the initial founding in July.

She seems to indicate other independent MPs are trying to freeze her out of the process. And she set up the membership site to support the roadmap. While ensuring members were involved in the process.

My opinion is nothing more then that. So you guys will need to decide for yourselfs. But I am of the opinion the membership we signed up to are in her control. Rather then a random stranger. And will wait to see if other evidence supports her claims that independent MPs that have claimed to support the party are potentially causing trouble before members can prevent it.

Qemu begginer help (feddit.uk)

Hi. Just to make things clear. My reason for trying this is I am visually impaired.

I am writing some code to run on a pi zero 2. With a small 5 inch screen. IE the code interface is being designed to display very clear large buttons on a small screen.

To set up the OS build, I am trying to create a Qemu emulator on my large screened home desktop. So I can actually read code file system etc in large print. Once I have the OS set up and can install a lite image with very minimal xwindows / tkinter support. I can then use SsH etc to work on the GPIo stuff.

My issue is I have no experience with QEMU. I am having issues finding any online guide using recent versions of QemuEtc (preferably not video as watching code/CLI on YouTube is just undoable with vision issue's.)

If anyone can help with a guide on how to set up qemu_system_aarch64 for raspi2ap

IE what exactly I need to do to provide a -kernal and IMG etc to build a image. I'd be very grateful.

I'm posting here hoping you guys will have some experience. But please let me know if somewhere else would be better.

My desktop is running Debian bookworm with a back ports version of QEMU.

Gary's Economics blasts 'childish' arguments against wealth taxes (www.thecanary.co)
 

For anyone joining Your Party or interested in the ideals etc.

Gary's Economics is a very good channel to watch. The guy really knows his stuff.

He is doing a good job of pushing the data and obvious risk of economic inequality on social media.

This link is not the best first one, I'd recommend spending time watching his understanding wealth series. He dose a very good job of pointing out why the current inequality happened etc.

LINK BELOW.

https://youtu.be/bReS9FLpgT4

But this video cross posted is a good indication of the work ahead for YourParty before the next election. it is going to take time and funding to form a good wealth tax policy. And the Party should start soon after the 1st conference.

As you are new to this. Thought more experienced may want a place to offer friendly advice.

First it is common to post rules for communities in the side bar. Normally just behaivior type things. Look at a few other communities on political parties and use what you feel in appropriate.

As the community grows. You may want to find folks you trust and ask them to help mod the group. This is mainly folks with the authority to delete posts that break said rules. Multiple people help limit the time offensive nsfw or outright advertising like posts (assuming they are rules you want. NSFW is required by feddit.uk as are a few others.) are up and causing issues.

Feddit UK really is a fairly good space people wise, but Any political forum attracts fecal exit points.

Others may have more ideas.
