@nprofile…ggt6 @nprofile…mze6 @nprofile…st4t @nprofile…60lz I would basically encourage businesses to move out of the south east and make the country more homogenous. Its ridiculous to keep piling more and more people in to the home counties and London. I would also move parliament to a more central location. Cities like Leeds and Manchester could easily double in size But adding another 2 million to the south east isn’t so easy.

@nprofile…cgs9 That’s exceedingly common in file formats. Many of the *doze ones predate mickeysoft. RIFF files and the like.

I may need to move mastodon instances. What’s a good server? I could run my own but I’m tired enough as it is!

@npub1g0t…tvm4 If my parents are anything to go by, no. They were life long Tory voters and were also BREXIT voters. Both have decided that they are far too right now. They aren’t the “conservative” party any more. My mother and father gave up their memberships. They voted Lib Dem.

USA!! How the absolute fuck?! Rest of the world. There’s only 350 million of them. We need to learn to work around the USA.

@npub1rp6…wzqe In theory you could connect a Been to an IBM CGA. You would need some resistors and tie the intensity line to high or low. The early CGA cards used the same CRT controller as the Beeb.

@npub1nvp…agzg Usually it is painful because rather than a simple “Reject” button sites try to introduce user friction so they click the “Accept all” because the alternative is painful.

@npub1vs8…54zy Yup. As someone who tends to vote LD or Green my votes have been under represented for years. We need PR.

@npub1vs8…54zy Yup. No one with over all majority. Labour would have to form a coalition to counter a Tory / Reform coalition. Labour didn't really win this, Reform split the vote
