Northern Lights could be visible in England and Wales as severe solar storm to hit overnight

Jump

  • Mmmmmrrrm. Idk, saw them as a child & though I had not heard of them at the time & therefore had no expectations, not even the most dramatic, high-tech camera footage has come close to those moments.

  • Overheard a lady tonight claiming they were visible "all around, everywhere, just get outside" on the phone to her friend in the centre of Birmingham. Tried to ask her for tips, but she was too distracted by it all & not looking at the sky in any case.

  • That likely explains things. Thank you! Am here via Memmy.

  • Cheers. That worked. What a spooky coincidence! Can't think why it would have been blocked.

  • The word it translates to is not visible for me in your comment.

    Could be that it got censored out somehow - there's a double space between "as" and "which".

  • It is also a natural thing to think of, and easy for anyone over the age of 7 or 8 to figure out how to do it effectively.

  • Quite, lol. Nuffink to lose tho'!

    • Google settles $5 billion privacy lawsuit over tracking people using 'incognito mode'

    Jump

  • As it is true that very little of settlements or awards like this will be paid out to affected users, I'd like to see legislation amended so that a large percentage of the sum has to be used for major privacy education campaigns, pushed online & through every other media, created and overseen by robust privacy organisations.

    In a case like this, I'd want to compel Google to target users of Incognito Mode with privacy education material - again created & overseen by privacy orgs.

    Last thing Google wants is to be compelled to show slick, unskippable privacy education clips on every Youtube video.

    Jump

  • It probably does, but users would have to click through to an information page. Mostly people seemed to be using it based on misinformed recommendations from others.

    Also got the impression that most believed the sites they were using via Incognito mode could not recognise them unless they logged in. Similar features on other browsers had similarly misleading names.

    "session mode" might be a less misleading term, but it isn't nearly so snappy.

  • The article does not suggest that it is.

    The guy is appealing to the sympathy of the British government, but also does not suggest it is a British problem, and likely knows he won't even get a response - he just has nothing to lose by asking.

    • New England stone walls lie at the intersection of history, archaeology, ecology and geoscience, and deserve a science of their own

    • Thank you, Beehaw

    Jump

  • May you commit many (ongoing) acts of journalism.

    Bzzzzzzzzzz

  • Looking forward to a photographic journal of learning to build similar walls on LallyLuckFarm.

    You know it is going to happen.

    • NHS charter to stress biological sex when placing patients in wards

    Jump

  • Right, because screeching about trans, non-binary and intersex people as if they're to blame for a decade & a half of Tory asset-wrecking deathly malfeasance will totally magic this extra NHS capacity into reality.

    (Ok, they didn't mention the latter two, because they never do, but we all know how it goes).

    Tbh I think staff on the wards will be able to ignore this, as the demand for care far exceeds availability, but they shouldn't fucking have to.

    • What is this weird pop up image of a keyboard on my screen?

    Jump

  • Just tried on my iOS Safari, and did not see anything like this, whether logged in or logged out. Usually use Memmy app.

    Unsure if relevant, but I do block a lot of DNS requests.

    • If Britain is so bothered by China, why do these .gov.uk sites use Chinese ad brokers?

    Jump

  • Because Tory cuts mean the money to run these websites has to be found elsewhere.

    Have yet to try desktop browsers.

    All of the "safeguards" they used to get the public to accept privatisation back in the day were sleights of hand.

  • Great news, and looks like some EU institutions and Germany are gearing up to do similar, which should encourage other countries & organisations to follow, and massively expand open source development.

  • It has always filled me with a kind of dread & nausea when I hear of the internet mob savaging a person, no matter my view of whatever has people riled up into full attack mode.

    Determined to follow Bubba's example of having great love & forgiveness for everyone, even as am a sobbing, mess at this story and yet again devastated at the knowledge of all the dangerous vitriol out in the world. I wish so much that persecutors could glimpse a moment of what it is to love & be relieved of their hatreds.
