The supreme court were very clear that their ruling was not a reduction in trans rights, but a clarification of existing legislation.

It's pretty clear that the EHRC is purposely misrepresenting the SC's conclusion, and pushing dubious recommendations to government departments.

She's a TERF that the Tories put in place (Boris Johnson, 2020). It's utterly absurd that the head of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission is against equality.

Her contract ends in November this year. I hope she's swapped with someone more appropriate for the role.

I'm somewhat surprised there isn't a Fedora there, it's a pretty great and up-to-date distro. And pretty popular.

I'm also surprised Flatpak isn't higher!

So fucking dumb.

Everybody loved OnePlus's alert slider. Nobody wants fucking Bixby button mk2

Google makes a lot of money, and summarising stuff uses a surprisingly small amount of energy. You can do it trivially on-device on a laptop and on plenty of phones.

When it comes to LLMs, training the models is generally the thing that requires ridiculous amounts of energy.

This is dumb as fuck, though. I don't want Google's LLM to miss out critical details in my emails. That shit could be important. If people want this they should opt in.

You'd still be let out after your normal sentence, nobody that sets the laws is advocating keeping them there forever.

To be clear, I disagree with it, it seems crazy to me.

I'm just pointing out that this reporting is saying something very different to all other reporting I've seen on this topic. I've not seen anywhere else report it as being forced.

This is the first I've heard of it being mandatory. All other reporting I've seen is prisoners being able to opt in, for a reduced sentence.

Manjaro keeps popping up on devices, and I don't understand how they keep getting these deals.

It's seemingly the only thing they are competent at doing.

12% faster on average, with anywhere from a 30-320% battery life improvement.

Just from a software change.

That is massive. You'd usually need a hardware upgrade for an improvement like that.

To be completely honest, I am a little annoyed about all the people bringing up price.

Well I'm so sorry you're offended (not really), but price is relevent when you're comparing products.

If I was looking at a comparison between two watches and the reviewer brings up price, I'd consider that relevant information.

saying that the price being free adds to the word "massive" being used aptly is just kinda dumb for real.

Again, you're just so wrong.

If product A is better than product B, that's bad enough. If product A also happens to be free while product B costs over $100, then that's extremely notable and should be brought up in a comparison.

Maybe it's your line of thinking that's just kinda dumb for real?

It's just like people don't want to converse man.

You're such a victim. Oh wait, it's you that started being hostile and dismissive. You're the one who doesn't want to have a respectful discussion.

When you talk like that, you shouldn't expect people to treat you nicely in return. People are under no obligation to treat you nicely after you treat them poorly.

It's pretty clear that talking to you is useless

Indeed. You do seem to struggle with differing opinions, as well as the definitions of words, like how you struggle to understand there's a massive difference in performance between Windows and SteamOS on this handheld.

I'm not glorifying shit, I'm just pointing out how very, very wrong you are.

A 12% performance boost on average, simultaneously with a battery life improvement of up to 320%, requiring nothing but a software change is massive, especially when that software is free.

Who the hell brought up price? Certainly not me

Are you purposely being a clown? I brought up price, because it's relevant in comparing two things.

Why are you so butt hurt that SteamOS is massively better on some handheld you probably don't even own? Why are you so hurt by this news?

Donations and grants.

Nationalising now would cost hundreds of billions.

Or, if you went down the banana republic route of forcibly nationalising without any compensation, and ignored the laws that currently prevent that, investment into the UK would plummet.

Investment in the UK already took a big hit from Brexit, we don't need to make it worse.

The government is already the operator of last resort for the water companies. That means if the companies go bust any nobody steps in to buy them, the government takes over automatically.

I think the government should state they won't be bailing out these water companies if they fail. That's how it should be for any private investment.

When Thames and others go bust, the government steps in and takes over automatically as Operator Of Last Resort, theoretically with a tremendously lower cost to public finances.

It's so frustrating that we have all this technology, and we choose to use it for bad purposes.

Yes. Massively. And I don't know why you're doubling down on being wrong.

12% faster with anywhere from 34% to 320% better battery life, and $130 cheaper is massively better, especially on the exact same hardware.

The difference is astonishing, tbh. I'd have expected a negligible difference.

Massively better was completely correct, and you are wrong to state otherwise. It's that simple.

Alyx is not HL3, and I don't get it when people say it is.

HL2E2 ended and we were left partway through a story that never received an ending.

It objectively is.

You are genuinely the first other person I've ever seen online who seems aware that this was an industry-wide thing, not a VW thing.

If it makes you feel any better, all brands had illegally high emissions. People only tie it to VW so much because they were the first to be tested, and they owned up to it, meaning media could call them out on it without fear of libel.

VW wasn't even close to the worst offender.

A household with that income is very rich.

Jesus, toffs are so separated from reality it's unbelievable.
