George Galloway’s Plan to DESTROY the Labour Party | Downstream [01:25:23 | May 05 2024 | Novara Media]
  • George Galloway is only interested in himself. When this current fad gets flushed down the toilet, he'll find another bandwagon to jump on.

    Galloway's Workers Party to stand candidates everywhere in challenge to Labour
  • The only thing that George Galloway is concerned with is his self promotion.

  • Impressions after a week using KDE Neon: Amazing
  • Had issues with it. I seem to remember it not waking from sleep or similar.

    I'm sticking with EndeavourOS and Plasma ;-)

  • Rishi Sunak has staked his premiership on Rwanda – but the electorate will punish him for it | Henry Hill
  • I wonder if we could send him there. If it's as great as he says, he might even stay.

  • Windows 11 KB5036980 update goes live with Start Menu ads
  • I'm on the insider build and haven't seen any of this. If I do then I'm off. That's a red line as far as I'm concerned.

    I'll load up EndeavourOS (it's already on my laptop) and they can shove it. Pity as it was genuinely getting good. So many things that worked seamlessly and effortlessly compared to some of the Linux stuff.

    But I'll not have ads in my OS.

  • Glance is coming to the US, whether we like it or not
  • Yes and it was a pile of steaming hotspur.

  • Pogroms surge across West Bank
  • I don't buy it at all. I think religion is a cancer that the human race needs to eradicate as soon as possible.

    The fact that they call themselves God's chosen people should ensure they have standards far and above everyone else.

    They are just as shitty as the 'bad guys'.

  • Over £23bn worth of welfare benefits went unclaimed in the last year, report finds
  • Yes. My wife is almost certainly eligible for PIP. The process is so complex and intrusive that she gave up and didn't bother pushing it.

    A work colleague whose wife is quite severely disabled claimed but was rejected. He appealed and was awarded the highest rate.

    I'm trying to convince my wife to claim again. It would make a considerable rise in our standard of living.

  • Pogroms surge across West Bank
  • Exactly. God's chosen people often turn out to be just as shitty as the 'bad' guys.

    They all use religion as an excuse for their shitty behaviour. I still don't understand because it's the same God.

  • Louisiana lawmakers vote to remove lunch breaks for child workers, cut unemployment benefits
  • Child workers or child care workers?

    It sounds pretty scummy whatever one it is.

  • Tories denounce BBC’s Nick Robinson for referring to “murders of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians”
  • Not soon enough!

    Probably later this year, this should give you an idea of what happens.

  • New UK law targets “despicable individuals” who create AI sex deepfakes
  • Good luck with that. Meanwhile MPs are sending dick picks on WhatsApp.

  • Ukrainian president signs controversial law to boost conscription to fend off Russia's aggression
  • What if you were conscripted into the medical corps? Or if you were military veterinary staff?

    Not all military personnel serve on the front line.

  • Someone got Gab's AI chatbot to show its instructions
  • Thanks - and it's no doubt intended and they might has well named it Fuhrer, but we need to stay better than them.

  • Someone got Gab's AI chatbot to show its instructions
  • Have to play devil's advocate here. I totally agree that naming your chatbot Aryan is a bit of a giveaway, but does it say that exactly anywhere? All I can see is Arya. That is a legitimate name, even more popular since Game of Thrones. This crap is bad enough without making false claims about it. We'd be quick enough to call the other side out when they made a false claim. We shouldn't adopt their practices. We're supposed to be better than that.

  • Liz Truss endorses Donald Trump to win US presidential election
  • and the West is "on the cusp" of conflict.> Partly because the orange idiot sucked up to them.

    I know it's not a black and white case but he certainly didn't help, and still isn't.

  • Deleted
    Anyone else notice more tankies/hexbear type users than usual on /all the past few weeks, across most of Lemmy?
  • That'll be why I don't see them! Excellent. Many thanks.

  • How do I make my bread really dark?

    Am trying to make a dark rye loaf like you'd find on a stall or in a shop. Not the really dense 'pumpernickel' style but round or oblong tin shaped.

    Have tried various percentages of strong dark rye, muscovado sugar and black treacle but the loaf is still not that dark. I did try some cocoa in one loaf but that just gave an odd colour.

    Am using a Panasonic bread machine and in over 5 years it's only ever produced a couple of duff loaves - which were down to me (forgetting yeast, mixer blade or water) and often use it for the dough function and then finish in oven. Am not averse to resorting to full manual though if needed.

    Any ideas?

    TIA

    Well, this is inconvenient.

    Won't be doing any laundry just yet then.

    Edit - pic didn't load

    Supercat!

    This was my wife’s new throw/ blanket thing. Daisy never used to get on the sofa. But now if the throw isn’t there, she’ll sit and look until one of us cracks.

    It's taken two years

    She loves these throws. And as long as I keep my ankles crossed and legs still, she'll stay.

    Must admit I choked up a bit as our last two would never do this.

    Time to ditch Amazon Prime?

    This will be the straw that breaks the camel's back for me.

    The best of both worlds.

    Lunch will be one of these filled with homemade hummus and salad.
