PipePipe seems to work with my login to play age restricted stuff. I do generally have to trigger a login through settings and then research the video through.

It's probably cowardice.

I totally get why people are upset but the real question is what to do next. You can try lobbying the government with the massive majority by accusing them all of being bigots or form a new party (or join an existing one) with this reform at the top of their agenda.

Sadly while there may or no may not be a majority in the country who have sympathy with the plight of trans people I doubt there are enough where it is the top off their priorities when deciding who to vote for.

Urinals. Most restaurants and cafes have unisex cubicles. When you get to pubs and nightclubs you can get more pee draining space per square foot with a urinal.

As far as I understand it nothing stops an establishment just declaring all their toilets as unisex. I've certainly been in a number of drinking establishments where this has been the case.

"when looking at the Equality Act" is the key missing part off the quote. Would you expect an ex-barrister to contradict the ruling of the supreme court?

What's actually needed is new clear primary legislation to address all these issues. Parliament still had primacy here but good luck getting MPs wading into such a toxic debate?

Not just that - modern Androids compile apps in a VM these days to reduce the attack surface of the compiler. You can also push other services into VMs that support the main image. You could even push some vendor drivers into VMs and help keep the main kernel less of a vendor fork fest.

Does anyone know what the underlying filesystem is on DSM? The ability to easily replace disks with a degree of redundancy across the 4 bays is the biggest plus point for Synology although I have no doubt all the bits underneath are the Linux storage stack.

I suspect we don't know enough about the mechanics of consciousness yet to determine what free will really means. We certainly know enough about psychology to understand predispositions to make certain choices and humans as a group are fairly predictable.

It's a shame because I really like the point and click nature of DSM. Although I'm a happy Linux hacker I don't want another Linux box to suck up my limited admin time just to store files.

I think there is certainly a case for baring MPs from consultancy gigs where they are effectively being paid for influence. It gets trickier with some professions needing a certain number of hours to "stay current". Who's going to take a worse paid job which guarantees they can't return to their old career if they lose the next election?

I'd prefer paying MPs and ministers more but with the same sort of anti corruption approaches they have in Singapore. Get paid well for an important job but get the book thrown at you if you do anything dodgy. I'd quite like to see professional ministers as well so MPs can concentrate on being MPs but I appreciate that would need some changes to the way parliament work.

I doubt the Gemini model is going to be running locally so something is going to have to pay for that. It'll either be subscription or ads.

Pretty much the same for me. I'm a FLOSS developer and it made sense to join the host closest to the development of Lemmy. I don't really follow any of the more political groups, I'm mostly here for the science, trek and programming memes. I guess I'll have to test the subscription portability if the home server gets more widely de-federated though.

A lot of the Emacs language modes have been replaced with tree-sitter equivalents now.
