Rotherham council accused of ignoring ‘flag terror’ with £500 grants for St George’s and union flags by Flax_vert in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

It's probably better if the council is the one controlling the flags going up and erecting them honestly, instead of some dodgy people angered by Facebook posts

The NHS in the UK has loads of issues, but times like this reminds me how fortunate we are. I have had close family members go through cancer and cost of treatment was never on our minds

I had a random (probably dumb) idea: Given the whole Discord Drama going on, what if there was a Discord alternative, but in the style of Lemmy? by Flax_vert in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

You board a train, board a bus, and board a ship, but you don't board a car by Flax_vert in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

You board a taxi, though.

58 UK public libraries have parenting books with advice to encourage children to detransition by Flax_vert in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

Let people read whatever book they want and make up their own minds. Libraries aren't supposed to be a "ministry of truth"

I remember trying to reply to a jira ticket and the whole screen froze up for a few seconds and I was given a big prompt saying "Chat to Rovo AI!" Like no, I don't want to chat to an AI, I want to chat to this eejit who raised a ticket

Does anyone think that a bunch of Computer Science/Software Engineering graduates unable to find jobs could result in increased cybercrime? (feddit.uk)

I'm just thinking of cases where a country takes over and exiles the old army, and it's seen the rise of various terrorist groups as you've essentially left a bunch of military trained, often zealouse, young men without a career. Could a similar thing happen with Cyber?

What's more concerning is this:

In another proposed amendment, Peers have suggested that: "Any relevant device supplied for use in the UK must have installed tamper-proof system software which is highly effective at preventing the recording, transmitting… and viewing of CSAM using that device."

Learning morse code (feddit.uk)

It's actually quite simple. I always thought it was difficult and you'd have to learn from a code sheet, but I found an app which teaches you and you actually just recognise the sounds like you'd recognise any other sound. You generally don't even need to decode it- you just get used to what a letter sounds like. I've been learning since Saturday and can already key my name out.

IIRC it was (at least speculated) that they made a discord server in order to avoid x.com
