Screen goes off when i lock screen on pop os
  • Not sure how to change it, but I think I know why.

    When you lock, the time until the screen turns off goes right down to a couple of seconds - you can stop this by wiggling you mouse or pressing a button like normal. This is different to sleep where it uses very little power and the state is moved to memory - background process will still be running when the screen is off.

    You may be able to adjust this in the GUI by changing when the screen goes off in settings, but I have not tested.

  • Containment breach
  • I got interested myself and did a quick search, but it doesn't seem like Riot have live stats unfortunately. I would expect League of Legends to have more players, but I don't think it would be that huge, especially considering how popular Dota is in non-western countries.

    I also find it funny how if you search something like "dota vs lol player count", most of the spammy sites just compare the number you gave or even worse comparing Dota's 1m peak concurrent per month vs League's 150m total a month.

    There also seems to be a disparity in the number of accounts that most players have per game (smurfs) making this probably not worth the time to research!

  • Wales 20mph: Calls made for 1,500 roads to revert to 30mph
  • As someone who lives in Wales and drives, cycles and walks around daily, I think this is a great policy, but poorly communicated and has been a target by populist politicians which has fed into the discontent.

    Many people speed and break the limit anyway regardless of the speed limit. In my experience about 80% of cars will be sticking to 20 - either abiding by the limit or stuck behind someone keeping to it. The majority of people speeding will only speed up to ~30mph, which will be less than what they'll be speeding if the limit was at 30 originally.

    It may vary by council, but I personally can't think of any roads near me that could do with reverting back up to 30 (that haven't already). Some main roads will still be 20, but then there are schools and residential on these roads which doesn't make sense to revert - but some people will still complain.

    Personally I don't think this policy will ever have national popular support. It is a policy that directly affects someone's day to day rather than a stat which makes it a perfect candidate for people to complain about (potholes are similar). This is despite polling also saying that the vast majority support 20 outside their own house (but outside other people's houses should be reverted?).

    I am kinda sick of how much this policy is brought up. It seems like every month there is a new article critiquing the limit and it is getting quite repetitive.

  • That sounds like it sucks, especially to take on when you still don't know what you are doing in life. I am glad you have since sorted it to be lower.

    Do you get the same situation over there where interest increases the size of the loan more than you can pay it off with the lower amount now? In the UK most students expect to never pay theirs of before it gets cancelled around retirement age.

  • UK General Election results megathread
  • Their last two Labour MPs not only were kicked out in scandal, but also ran in this election splitting the vote. It looks like the Lib Dems also got a significant vote share which has helped the Tories.

  • BBC News - Stonehenge covered in powder paint by Just Stop Oil
  • They are funded by an organisation called Climate Organisation Fund of which is funded by someone called Aileen Getty who's family own Getty Oil.

    Whether or not they are wanting to create a false narrative is questionable. I personally don't think so, but who knows...

  • Shocked Brits react to rise in cost of living under Conservative government
  • Yes I agree, rejoining the EU seems to come up quite high in opinion polls when that is the sole question, but the parties that are supporting this are not.

    Apart from FPTP, I reckon another factor is that people are just sick of hearing about Brexit. It has been in the news cycle continuously for years. I don't think it is enough of an issue to be a vote winner compared to Lab/Con focusing on generically growing the economy and talking about migrants etc. I just think back to that clip of Brenda from Bristol after news of the Theresa May snap election and reckon that is where most people are at in terms of Brexit.

  • Tory Welsh Secretary accused of ministerial code breach with social media video
  • I had a survey from him recently branded and labelled from the House of Commons but largely contained questions related to devolved matters. I remember something about 20mph and M4 relief road as well as NHS in Wales. I wonder whether this would be against the code of conduct too? It seems like he wants to take the job of RT Davies in the Sennedd.
