United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Today is the birthday of His Majesty the KingEnglish
2·2 days agoThat’s not worse than Prime Minister Farage, which could be the case come 2029, so I don’t see your point.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Today is the birthday of His Majesty the KingEnglish
4·3 days agoThis is an impressive amount of trolling, even for you Flax.
Feddit.UK’s intended audience is His Majesty’s subjects within the United Kingdom
No. The monarch doesn’t own me and I refuse to owe it anything. Hopefully one day the British state will get rid of the embarrassment of being headed by a family of nepo babies.

8·4 days agoThere are times where I’ll see someone mention something is against the dbzero site rules, so I’ll spend like 10 minutes trying to find and always come up blank. Like apparently it’s a site rule to tag gen AI content
[], but I couldn’t tell you where that’s written down.

Fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Is Bluesky about to implode, and if it does - would this mean refugees coming here in any numbers?English
1·7 days agoI don’t doubt some people have run into issues with Mastodon, like not being able to follow accounts because of defed, but I doubt it’s as prevalent as the criticism makes it out to be. It’s also a wild as the same is literally true of Bluesky, like there are Bluesky accounts you have to jump to Blacksky to view because the CEO of Bluesky got her feeling hurt because she didn’t like being criticised for hosting transphobes who break the site’s own rules.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•PieFed 1.3 is releasedEnglish
4·7 days agoObviously it’d only be a subset of HTML. No website that uses user-submitted HTML (Tumblr, AO3, Royal Road, etc) actually allows the full suite of tags.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•PieFed 1.3 is releasedEnglish
7·8 days agoCool!
Image markdown style formatting to allow more advanced control of how images are rendered. e.g. 
You might as just let users write the
<img>tags directly at this point, at least then you won’t add noise to third party apps’ accessibility stacks.(I honestly wouldn’t be opposed to letting users write HTML directly, it was one of Tumblr’s best features imo)

Casual Conversation@piefed.social•What is the oldest file you still have available? Could be a picture, a document, a photo that you've transferred all the way from the past to your current setupEnglish
3·9 days agoProbably a music file or picture I downloaded in 2019/20. I lost the laptop I used as a teen, so couldn’t transfer anything.

2·10 days agoMaybe they’re looking at !unitedkingdom@lemmy.ml, !unitedkingdom@europe.pub or !unitedkingdom@lemmy.world. Still weird given the UK is one of better served countries on here.

UK Politics@feddit.uk•Tactical voting set to thwart Farage's election hopes, poll showsEnglish
2·10 days agoFair enough, the Green party certainly has a strong conservationism-above-all-else element that like you describe and has been very influential in the party, with the other side being a progressive socdem/demsoc element. It’ll be interesting to see how this changes now the Greens have nearly tripled their members, most of whom are on the demsoc side of the party. Hell, I’m one of them and I certainly can’t be described as a NIMBY.

7·10 days agobut who also want their capital assets - primarily their house value - protected.
But the Green party’s primary support is from young people in urban areas, generally not people with assets. While the party certainly has had a Tory element in its electorate who matches what you say, it’s pretty reductive to say they’re the parties primary supports. There’s a reason the only MP the Greens had for over a decade was Brighton Pavilion.

6·10 days agoYou’d think given how many voters they’re losing to the Greens, they’d make more noise about the (pretty good, bar the carbon capture stuff) new carbon budget plan. But alas, this government seemingly can’t do comms.

26·11 days agoThis is actually pretty good user retention. Most platforms bleed way more users after a surge in sign ups (eg Mastodon, Pixelfed, Threads, Bluesky).

Feddit UK@feddit.uk•Curious about the state of the UnionEnglish
8·15 days agoFor the moment, I’m the only admin and I have control of everything (domain + server). There aren’t currently any backup plans in place as other things got in the way. There was some discussion of setting up a Bitwarden premium account which would let someone have emergency access to the server passwords, but I’d need someone to volunteer for that now (if anyone’s interested helping the admin side of things, lmk).
And thinking about it, I should probably remove tom from the admin list just so people don’t contact them with random queries.

Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•California passes law requiring age verification checks for all operating systems | Governor Newsom signs bills to further strengthen California’s leadership in protecting children onlineEnglish
9·16 days agoThis seems way less insane than the ‘let’s model online age verification on pubs’ laws we’ve seen in places like the UK and France.

Ask UK@feddit.uk•Why are British people, who are usually against racial slurs, okay with slurs that are class-based, such as "chav"?English
81·16 days agoChav isn’t really a slur, it’s derogatory sure but not a slur. Also, plenty of British people throw around racial slurs, it just sounds like you know mostly nice people.



















It not having the people to be a place for you is perfectly acceptable reason to not be interested, but dismissing near 40K people as nothing is just wrong. That’s the population of a decent sized town.
I really hate this language. I’m trying to build a community, not make something to be profited off.
