UKCasual@lemmy.world•How would you sum up your weekend in Newcastle, Quicky?English
3·2 years agoBest city and people in the UK if you ask me.
I never had any issues with my 5 and multitouch. Also, the battery was incredible.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•AI ‘apocalypse’ could take away almost 8m jobs in UK, says reportEnglish
113·2 years agoExactly. I keep hearing this “they’re taking our jobs” argument, and it’s been going on for a long time. The people saying this are not lookng at the stats of how many people are now employed compared to 10, 100 years ago. From the industrial revolution onwards, it’s been generally an upward trend.

Apple@lemmy.world•Here's What Apple Retail's New Machine to Update iPhones in the Box Looks Like
411·2 years agoI think this is very clever, a great idea. I also think someone is going to figure out how to turn on iphones via NFC and upload malware of some kind.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•UK network operators ask govt to fend off attacks on fiberEnglish
6·2 years agoIt’s the best characteristic of English, I think. It’s alive, it changes and we do very little to prevent that from happening (unlike French or German).
Pro tip: -z, -j are not needed by tar anymore since many years, tar will autodetect what compression was used if your distro is anything remotely modern.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Driver deliberately crashed into cars he thought were being badly drivenEnglish
34·2 years ago“a nudge?” on a fucking motorway? JFC peoples misunderstanding of physics is terrfiying.
Alexander Graham Bell was Scottish, who moved to Canada and then moved to the US.
It’s not a million miles away from the truth. The UK and France were the main advocates behind the ITU, so they got +33 and +44. Which is…fine…but I’ve not come across why NA got +1, etc. or even why those numbers were chosen at all.

Technology@lemmy.ml•New technology to show why images and video are genuine launches on BBC News
2·2 years agoIt’s weird they mention the C2PA but don’t link to it: https://c2pa.org/
I’m not Canadian, but as a Brit I also say Zed instead of Zee but I’ve never heard someone say Zed instead of Zero. WTF.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Shamima Begum loses bid to regain UK citizenshipEnglish
3·2 years agoI think it was a bit of a race to be honest. If Bangladesh revoked her citizenship first, the UK couldn’t have.
As a Brit-born to Brit parents, if I have gained, say, Irish citizenship (or Spanish, or Kenyan, whatever) then the UK could revoke my citizenship under the same rules. It’s the fact she had another citizenship that allowed them to do this at all.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there are some horrible racist pieces of shit who would see it as you’ve described, but I don’t think this is one of them.

Linux@lemmy.ml•How to run macOS on Linux (without too much hassle supposedly)
181·2 years agoWhat’s the advantage of this vs running it in a container? https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX
I felt the same way after making a Shooter’s sandwich.
It was handy until I realised it installs to the user profile instead of system-wide. Reverted to chocolatey.












It’s fairly important to keep it private for US citizens, see here.
