  • The payrise for teachers is not fully funded despite the government's initial announcement.

    The estimated cost for a 6.5% pay rise is around £1.6b with the additional funding provided being £900m.

    The union leaders were told to recommend the deal by 12:30 or it would be withdrawn.

    Teachers accepting this is basically voting to reduce staff numbers in their schools but I worry it will be accepted because lots of teachers aren't willing to escalate the strike action.

  • I used to love MMOs (Eve Online and FFXIV) back when I had masses of free time and could get away with coming home from work and getting stuck into a game from 6pm until 12pm every night. The communities I got to join in with were great and it was really fun. Loved Dota 2 for years as well.

    Now that I've got a kid though I have to play things that I can pick up and put down quickly and easily and that's kind of pushed me into mostly playing single player games now. Currently playing FFXVI.

  • Have a look at a game called Banished. It's a town builder that felt quite relaxing to play, but had a bit of a survivalist side to it as well.

    Rimworld is probably slightly too combat focused, but it's an amazing game and has definite building elements to it as well.

    Pure city builder I'd probably go for skylines, though I don't think it's got the kind of trade and resource management that's so important in Anno

  • I mean, at the moment I'll just take most active. I believe in the idea of the fediverse giving us multiple communities for different vibes of talking about the same topics but for now I'll just take having communities that are a bit more active

  • I feel like Cambridge Analytics stuff was about picking out who might be vulnerable to those types of political campaigns and by nature there's probably a bit of a correlation between that type of vulnerability and a lack of understanding of why their privacy is important.

    The people who recognise it's important are unlikely to be the ones picked out by these groups anyway

  • At the same time, in Pokemon Red I didn't know where to go at all after the 3rd gym and when I did eventually find that cave I didn't know flash was a thing, so that was painful.

    I think I had a level 45 Venasaur by the 4th gym!
