118k is just above the minimum for debate.

Given governments have ignored millions. Absolutely nothing was ever expected to happen.

The only way to have any effect. If 10s of millions directly writing to MPs stating the conflation with Israels actions and Jewish people. Is unacceptable.

Only when MPs have a clear indication. Their power is on the line. Will any pay any attention to it.

And ATM. No matter how much social media etc. makes it clear anti genocide and accusing Israel of genocide in not anti Semitic. Their bank Ballance. And UK media. Is pointing them.

To this opinion being a small vocal group and not the majority.

Only with millions taking direct action and telling their MPs. No stop this shit or lose you job.

Do any of them think they have anything to fear.

Add this to the fact. They still refuse to take the one party expressing this view seriously. As do many voters.

And they are in part correct to think. The opposition to this view. Is not supported by any risk of electoral defeat.

    No you do not.

    The idea that any marriage meets some pre difiend rules about spending. Is just a mythical unicorn.

    Many men and women by cars without consulting the other party. This is very common when both parties are high income professionals.

    They would involve each party arranging independent loans. Or in this case being a criminal arsehole.

    Sorry to tell you this. But your understanding of marrage money management. Is a hold over from the pre 1974 period. Where women were not legally allowed to own or borrow money. Without a husbands permission.

    Yes many many couple still think of money as a joint responsibility. More so with lower income couples. Because it is harder not to.

    But it is far far from exclusive to all marriage's. And many independent career women. Simply would not tolerate it.

    As an old fart myself. Yep I'd find it uncomfortable living in such an environment. Even when I had a high income. I still had the ideas of someone raised working class. But me ex wife most definitely did not feel the same way. And her stepfather's abusive history had a lot to do with that.

    Bit she is an extremely example. The idea of independent financial management between 2 married career people. Is far from uncommon.

    400k over 12 years. 33k a year.

    Yeah seems huge to most low income families.

    But 2 people earning about 150k each a year.

    10+% extra annual income. Is less noticeable. I can see why the police did not laugh. Just investigate and Look for evidence she was directly informed.

    I mean honestly as a left of centre voter. I'd be a bit hypocritical. Not to acknowledge.

    A family on 300k a year will be way less likely to notice an extra 30k.

    Then a family on 30k a year will 3k.

    We on the left make this claim all the time on progressive taxation etc. it applies to this as well.

    For now I'll ignore. How much of a bigger arsehole he is. Then the low income family stealing 3k to feed children. I'm only pointing out the busy wife is not as obviously expected to notice. As one who wonders where the extra baby milk came from.

    Exactly. While few of us can honestly claim we would have done better in her situation.

    She was the leader of the party. And the theft literally happened under her nose.

    Yes we can all understand. She was busy. Not an accountant. And in her own words they were both high earners.

    400k over 12 years. 33k a year. Is likely less noticeable then lower income families would have.

    But she was the head of the party. And anyone else would expect to be held at least in part responsible. Even if they understand the missing of the actions.

    As they should.

    No billionaire spend huge investments on something. To increase Thier labour expenses.

    Any one old enough to remember the days of early robotic automation. Where the government and billionaires claimed it would creat new higher paying jobs. And not reduce working hours.

    Can also remember how much easier it made moving those jobs to lower income nations,

    Same billionaires claimed the internet would create huge numbers of skilled jobs. Again moving them to cheaper nations as soon as was possible.

    The only reason AI can possibly be worth those same billionaires investing. Is to remove the few jobs left in high cost nations. And to start to remove the lower cost nations employment.

    It is utter fantasy to think any single billionaire. Is going to stop and worry about who earns enough to bu their shit. While competing to gather as much wealth as possible. Against only other billionaires. They will just compete against each other. Until ones get to call themselves king.

    Caring about workers. Just as much as their cared about the serfs that worked their land.

    And while being mentally unstable. Is a very valid and important reason to not practice medicine.

    Making a news article about it. Is just horror porn. So the article writer has little to harp on about.

    Doctor did dumb stuff to himself proving he was not suited to practice medicine. Is far from a nessesery need to inform the public. And doing so is just an excuse to remove his medical privacy.

    Even if you question the consent in porn. IE consider economic issues forcing people into porn. Less consential then we would like.

    I'd still trust someone with that interest. More then someone taking a person's mental lllness and making money from exploiting it.

    Debian has some maintenance. But if you think windows doesn't. Your already having issue.

    But Debian is one of the most documented distros. If your having an issue. Odd are multiple people have documented how to resolve it.

    Linux as a whole. Requires you to have a basic understanding, of what and why you are doing things. If not you will have a bad time.

    Debians biggest issue. Is the default 0 non free firmware and software. This means some drivers etc are not going to install automatically.

    So for any new install. Unless you have an entirely open system. You will need to manually edit the source files. And install extra packages.

    If you have Nvidia this is a big issue. Bit well documented.

    The big issue is when a new version comes out. If things change dramatically. Their is a delay in that clear documentation. This continues through their testing to stable releases.

    But they are excellent at ensuring security releases continue well beyond the upgrade. Years usually.

    Yep millions of us.

    Most commonly due to stability.

    Long term. It took effort and understanding to add newer versions of programs to it. Those of us with these skills managed. But it put off a lot of we want/need the latest without effort folks.

    Over the last 10 years. Flat pack or appimage have come far enough. It is rare if ever I need to build any software I don't want to.

    Blairs charity is funded by a republican doner.

    He is basically possessed by the US right wing.

    Wow what a suprise. The second labour looks like, the billionaires may lose the tiniest smidge of control. Blair is out their pushing their claimed ideals.

    Their is a reason. Thatcher was so proud of creating him.

    Non of your point have any relation to this at all.

    His partner was not paying. The council still dose not know if he was required to. As I said. This is a common confusion for boat dwellings. As often councils refuse to provide any services.

    Everything else is just. An excuse to validate you opinion. It in no way relates to his legal or moral actions.

    Our Party open letter to Founders and supporters.

    Asking for signatures to convince both J Corbyn and Z Sultana to step back and allow a member lead team to take over.

    The MPs got us this far. It's time for the people to take the reins.

    Z Sultana announced she supported the movement this morning.

    From membership site.

    Membership now open!

    Today is the day. Our membership portal is now open.

    For too long, Britain’s politics has been run in the interests of the rich and powerful. From Ayr to Aberystwyth, our new party is about changing that - taking power back for working people, communities and future generations.

    Joining isn’t just about signing up. It means taking part in a founding process that is genuinely democratic and member-led.

    This is your chance to help build something new. A party that belongs to its members, not the establishment.

    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.

     

    Ill sum this up. Research suggests Untrained dogs pulling causes more injuries than expected.

    3/4 of injured are female and mostly over 65.

    Opinion: 65+ year olds walking dogs are likely healthier than those not. So the 25m number may be rubbish.

    But anyone reading this worried about a dog that pulls. The simple way to stop it.

    Spend some time when every time the dog pulls harder than you like. Turn around and head the opposite way.

    Dogs soon learn that pulling leads to failure to progress. Takes a few days for most dogs to learn. Then takes a rare reminder for the dog to remember you choose the direction, and it doesn't get to assume.

    No need to tell the dog off or punish in any way. Just remind it when on the lead. Trying to direct you to move at its speed will always slow its progress.

     

    Not entirely sure how much the register thinks it costs.

    To design the first ever commercial man made star. But 220 m for such new science. Designed by researchers and specialists in a brand new field. Seems pretty bloody cheap to me.

    As for building it being a pipe dream. We are far more prepared for it then we were the first fission power plants. Without some risk progress stops.

    Will it cost more. Of course. But it is also the future of energy independence. And based on the first successful smaller design. So far from a pipe dream.

    Uk PIP Changes (feddit.uk)
     

    I am posting this here because it is the closest to a UK specific disability community.

    If this is invalid please let me know. While I am not comfortable setting up a UK disability and benefits community alone. I am happy to help run one. It will just need a good few members willing to take an active role.

    This post really is to discuse ( and rant) about the proposed changes to PIP the gov is proposing.

    What really annoys me. Is the government seems to be getting away with pushing false data.

    They keep using the differences in acceptance from 2010 to now.

    With 0 recognition that the 2010 rejection rates were seriously flawed. With many winning appeals after being forced to take the gov to court. Where well over 60% were seen as false rejections.

    Plus multiple reports of suicide due directly to DWP actions. It really bothers me that no media is pointing out this clearly false data.

    While plenty are pointing out the culture war that the tories are clearly trying to start. Some of the charities challenging these distorted claims seems to be needed.

     

    This is for new boaters on the UK waterways. As experienced boaters have worked this out for themselves.

    Of course the most usefull tool is your windlass. Without it you really cannot travel far on our canals.

    But the application of a rear ended lock level detection device. Can seriously ease your time amd stress when passing through a lock. Of course not any device will be usable. There is a disturbing fasion for people to own hand held sized portable devices. Such RELLDD are unsuitable for most UK canal lock gates. Industrial sized devices are very much required. Fortunately you will find many stores along the canal. That specialise in providing enhancement solutions to your RELLDD. At very little expense. You may be able to enhance your device over just a few years.

    If this is an unsuitable solution for you. Then please considers the option of other crew members with a more suitable RELLDD. Or you will often find other boaters very willing to help out. By adding their own RELLDD to the lock gate.

    Now if you are single handing. And lacking a suitable device. Then over the last 30 years or so. Many Internet sites have started to help link the owners of such devices together.

    Now I need to urge extream care with this approach. It is first important to remember many owners of such devices are unwilling to allow them to be used on the UK canal system. But more complex. Many with a suitable device whom may be very happy to travel the network with you. Tend to be uncomfortable with the suitability of their device. Due to this they will often also photograph the device using methods that limit its perceived suitability.

    I strongly advice. That if the device seems desirable in other ways. Do not reject the owner purely based on photos indication of its UK lock gate suitability. Ensure you meet the owner and inspect the device. This in genral seems like good advice for any boating related acquisitions.

    Here I feel I should remind members of our community. If you feel the urge to share pictures of your device. In the hope of finding other boaters willing to join you on you travels. Please ensure you check the rules of this community.
