You can’t think of any circumstances where a man claiming to be a woman to enter what is generally a space reserved for the opposite gender with malicious intent wouldn’t be concerning?
Surely basically any changing room or bathroom in the country meets this criteria?
I don’t know how unpopular an opinion it is, but surely anyone just deciding to self ID as a different gender opens huge safeguarding concerns?
I’m all for the process being easy for them to work through, but literally just doing it yourself seems excessively easy and abusable.
Every other device I use with a rechargeable battery suffers hugely with degredation. Can you explain why an EV battery would be an exception (cause I would love it to be!).
Surely if its a very common myth that you know to be wrong you should be trying to correct that.
I also am uncertain about the 2nd hand value of electric cars. Don’t know how much battery degradation kills their range…
The only point I’d make on heat pumps is that they are a good way of heating a home using electricity. Without using heat pumps, even with solar panels most people will still have to use some form of boiler to heat their homes/water and I think heat pumps are a good step forward for us to actually move toward energy efficient heating specifically.
You’re right though that in the short term we can probably get better value from solar panels or investing more in wind
Article is just focused on the UK. So is more like getting 40million people to reduce their meat consumption (not stop) vs getting 8million UK cars off the road.
Who produce emissions because they make a product that ultimately ends up being used by a consumer…
I think it’s chicken and egg.
I find it hard to spend much time on Lemmy cause there’s not as much content being posted… Which is because there aren’t as many users… But users won’t come until there’s content…
I also still stand by the whole instance thing being confusing for someone to join (though I do understand its benefits I guess)
I’m just loving the epic-ness of the boss fights. Not sure how far through I am, but will be sad when it’s over
I think if you have something that you really enjoy and think is amazing it’s sometimes hard to see how that might not be for everyone.
Thanks. I’ve been using liftoff too but have been finding it a little buggy at times.
Hoping Boost for Lemmy will launch soon
Which client are you using now?
The dashboard says I’m at about 55% and I don’t believe it haha. Feel like I’ve barely got into it!
Does GDPR cover anonymous data?
And is reddit history anonymous in a legal sense?
How do you practically impose this policy?
I mean, something like Spotify is the same. I don’t really buy music anymore and if I stopped subscribing then I’d not have access to music… But the quality of the service is good enough and value good enough that I don’t really mind.
Its just a balance of are you getting more value out of it than you’d get just buying games when you want to play them
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.
I’d be interested to know what the % is for movies and TV to be honest. I know Dr Who for example has like 100 episodes that have just been lost. There’s no copies of them anywhere that anyone knows of.
This is probably the main thing that’s stopped me ever getting back into the game. I get the reasons they’ve given for it, I just think it’s a stupid decision.
