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
91·11 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.

Games@sh.itjust.works•This is not an XboxEnglish
68·28 days agoI can’t count the number of times I’ve tapped the tiny button with three vertical lines right next to the tiny button with three horizontal lines, which can be a problem, because one of them pauses your game and and opens in-game menus, while the other kicks you out to your game library to launch a new game without pausing your game at all. If you press the library button a second time, it doesn’t take you back to your game, so you probably have to long-press the Xbox button to get back to your game, but not the Library button or the Control Center button because those will summon AI assistants instead, and if you understood everything I just wrote and found it reasonable then boy do I have the operating system for you.
Lol, Lmao. Peak Microsoft.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Vegan Politician Zack Polanski Elected New Green Party Leader In Landslide VictoryEnglish
4·1 month agoThey won 84.6% of the vote
I know? I literally voted for the man and reported on him being elected here.
it’s important to examine the characters of influential Individuals
I’m sorry, what? I don’t understand what that has to do with what’s being talked about.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Vegan Politician Zack Polanski Elected New Green Party Leader In Landslide VictoryEnglish
131·1 month agoIt’s still interesting to discuss since they’re going to be leader for years
Only one year, unless he’s re-elected. The GPEW hold leadership elections every 2 years, but it was postponed last year so as to not coincide with the general election.
Those 2 constituent countries fly under the Union Jack.
It’s still inaccurate to call them ‘the UK’s Green Party’ as both Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own Green parties which are separate from the GPEW.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Vegan Politician Zack Polanski Elected New Green Party Leader In Landslide VictoryEnglish
221·1 month agoWhy report on this now? The article even acknowledges that this happened last month. Also, there is no ‘UK Green Party’, Polanski was elected leader of the Green Party of England and Wales.

34·2 months agoThis depends, if your image contains a lot of flat colours (like a screenshot of a website) then PNG can actually give you smaller file sizes than lossless webp. But for most images (especially ones with compression artefacts) lossless webp gives smaller sizes.

1·2 months agoAs for why Piefed and not Lemmy, it’s because Piefed communities are portable. That is, if the admin proves to be awful or a server threatens to shut down, you can just move the community elsewhere.
Are they? The only thing I’ve heard about this is Piefed’s community move admin action, which is just a simple db rewrite only on the local instance.

This 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.
