Accessibility is indeed a good reason.
I will say that the only time I ever used a voice note was to voice something I couldn’t write, like saying something in a funny voice. Usually only a few seconds long.
In my case it was redoing the YIPPEEEEEE meme 😆.
The TL;DR is that they think it’s because the British…
Voice notes are better if you’re a fluent speaker but have poor writing skills or are using a second language.
Because they’re cringe and impractical?
You have to speak them out loud and listen to them out loud (or with headphones), therefore bothering everyone around you.
Yeah just went to check and the price in my area is 22-28p/kWh, can confirm.
It’s very fucked over here.
It really is disgusting. Please note all MPs who voted for this bill and make sure they never receive your vote again.
It’s no longer enough to just target trans people, Wes Streeting also has to profiteer from the NHS too.
I don’t own a house yet, like most people in the UK under 40, but when I do I will definitely consider it.
In the UK it is the council’s responsibility to house you if you cannot afford a home.
I know someone who was homeless there and they didn’t spend any time on the street. However, that might not reflect everyone’s experience. Its quite possible many places are at capacity.
There is a also a few fairly vicious thing councils can do. If you are at any point rude to staff they can deprive you of shelter, and if you refuse to be moved to inaccessible accommodation (say if you are a wheelchair user) they can mark you as “intentionally homeless” and then also refuse you shelter. It’s then your job to prove in court that they acted incorrectly, and good luck doing that when you don’t even have enough money to live, the court wait times are months long and there’s barely any lawyers.
So jealous. My energy bill is like £130/m and £80 of that is electricity.
Well, tracking darts would be better than flock cameras that always track everyone. It would require action by the police that they would have to justify, rather than all data being hoovered up and accessed freely.
I also self host and I wouldn’t say the cost is zero. In the UK, energy costs alone mean that a 40W computer cost £8 per month to run (assuming a 28p/kWh price).
Of course, that’s assuming you run it 24/7 at full energy use, but I know my PCs run on more than that.
Whenever I see that subglasses and hat avatar, I know a bad and strawman-y take is coming.
Reminds me of this:
As you say, just because it’s (debatably) legal does not mean it is moral.
There are also those who claim to be women’s rights groups who spend 95% of their time trying to take away the rights of trans people. For example, Sex Matters.
Downvoted for AI generated.
~Though TBF could just be terrible compression~
Nevermind. Definitely AI
Why not both?
We’ve got this near where I live. I think it’s neat.
That is why we are closing every asylum hotel and moving asylum seekers into basic accommodation including ex-military sites.
Yeah they want to put them in camps. Why? Because the far right is complaining. Why listen to them? Because Labour are far-right boot lickers.
Somewhat unrelated, but I know someone who got put into council housing with exposed asbestos and the council does not give a fuck.
Poor people’s lives are less valuable after all. 😡
