2019 called and they want their generation-wars propaganda back.

The headline also fails to understand the phrase “quiet quitting.”

Just get them to hitch a ride on Disaster Area’s stunt ship.

Did you miss the actual joke of the piece?

And if we were capable of terraforming the Moon or Mars then we should be able to fix the problems we have here on Earth anyway.

This country is cooked.

India has not exactly been known for the measured, rational responses of political or religious zealots in recent years, if ever.

I’ve been hearing this warning for years and years. I wonder if it will ever actually happen.

If his defence presented it as a mitigating factor for sentencing then the judge is saying that they took it into account so that he doesn’t have grounds for appeal on the basis that his sentencing didn’t account for his disability. Just because the judge took it into account doesn’t mean that he got a lesser sentence because of it.

Dylan Earl was handed 17 years and a further six years on extended licence for his “leading role”. Jake Reeves, from Croydon in south London, was given 12 years in prison with one year on extended licence. The offences they admitted made them the first to be convicted under the National Security Act 2023.

Jakeem Rose, 23 and also from Croydon, was jailed for eight years and 10 months. Nii Mensah, 23, from Thornton Heath, south London, was sentenced to nine years and 21-year-old Ugnius Asmena, who was homeless, was given seven years. The trio were each found guilty of aggravated arson and handed a further year on extended licence by the judge.

Ashton Evans, a 20-year-old drug dealer from Newport in Gwent, was jailed for nine years plus a further year on extended licence after being found guilty of failing to disclose information about terrorist acts relating to another plot in Mayfair.

I am ALL Ken M on this blessed day!

We are ALL Ken M on this blessed day!

You think that when the Pope leads a prayer in front of a crowd of catholic worshippers that this constitutes the kind of “public praying” that is worthy of criticism? King Charles is the head of the Anglican church, so it’s no different. They are leading a prayer together.

I’m not religious so I don’t care either way, but to classify this as “disgusting” is to completely lack understanding of the context.

You need a visa just to pass through Singapore on a connecting flight?

The army of corporate boot lickers in the mobile phone context is largely composed of people who think banking on a smartphone is wise

This is extremely reductive and oblivious to the actual realities of banking in various countries. If you think it’s easy to be “unbanked” then I would suggest that you try it yourself first.

Because some banks now require you to authenticate every payment (eg. online payments using your debit card) and every new recipient for bank transfers, using their phone app. The apps rely on the chain of trust that Google and Apple provide with their TPM or “secure enclave” chips to cryptographically authenticate that it is indeed the same device that the bank previously authorized.

Online banking via the website of these banks will still require at least one tap on the phone app to authorize any transfers that you make on the website.

Linux phones (and custom Android ROMs) don’t benefit from this same chain of trust, and so even if they have the secure chip in the hardware, the banking apps don’t have a convenient API to query it, so the banking apps just don’t work.

Banking fraud causes a serious amount of money lost to criminals each year so it’s not surprising that the banks want better ways of determining if a request is really coming from their customer('s device) and not a criminal who phished their online banking password.

This situation won’t change unless either Linux phones gain in popularity enough that the banks decide to port their apps to the platform or a law is passed saying that banks must support more than just Google and Apple (ie. custom roms etc.) at which point the work will be done to use the hardware attestation available in the phone on other software platforms.

Form over function. They probably have aspirations of getting VC funding and for that you need to look like every other web app.

It’s the bloody Sycamore Gap Tree all over again! When will this madness end!?
