Fallout 4 maybe? The main gameplay loop is gathering junk to get parts to improve your equipment.

Huh, that pretty cool actually. I need to play around and see if this works with gtk-rs, channels get fairly annoying if you need to use them a lot.

It's because they misspelt oestrogen, the govt wasn't sure what they were talking about.

And if you find the borrow checker annoying in async rust, that’s mostly a tokio issue. Look into smol-rs as it offers alternatives

This is great until you want to use a library which is tokio exclusive, which is most of them.

So? It's logname, what do you expect, for them to read the bits directly from memory? If you're going to criticise this for anything, it should be that it doesn't support Windows, not that it calls out to libc.

This is correct and fine?

Legal campaigners at Good Law Project have launched a legal challenge against broadcast regulator Ofcom, arguing that the public body has failed to take action to stop Murdoch-owned station Talk (formerly TalkTV and TalkRadio) from allegedly “breaking the law with a torrent of misinformation and transphobic hate.”

Ofcom received complaints from Good Law Project and 21,000 of its supporters on 18 July 2025 about 11 programmes broadcast on Talk, complaining about how the programmes, its presenters and guests discussed transgender issues. Talk is broadcast on radio and as video online, after News UK shuttered its loss-making TV operations in 2024.

Ofcom decided not to investigate any of the complaints in September. In October 2025, GLP wrote to Ofcom raising a number of questions about Ofcom’s response to their complaints. GLP also highlighted potential concerns about three of the programmes under the Broadcasting Code.

I'm quite fond of the Teixcalaan (don't ask me how to pronounce that) duology by Arkady Martine.

There are several Bandcamp alternatives that have spun up. Ampwall.com, mirlo.space, jam.coop. Probably others as well, it's honestly a little overwhelming.

YDM. This also happened a month ago, don't know why you're bringing it up now.

You look pretty stupid…

Stupidly pretty.

The Canvas patch is almost done. Except that we need more testing, specifically for its MS Windows port. (Though testers on other operating systems like GNU/Linux and MacOS are also welcome.)

Since we don't have any computers running MS Windows, we are not sure if the code is actually correct.

Is this about that new hashtag instance Prodromou launcher?

Looking at it, it's weird that it doesn't respect indexable flag on profiles, instead saying you need to add a hashtag to your bio to opt out?

More than £100 billion in clean energy investment announcements has been secured since the government came to office, Energy Secretary Ed Miliband will confirm at London Climate Action Week, as he declares Britain is part of a global boom in clean energy that is creating jobs across the UK and boosting energy security.

It follows a recent announcement of up to £9 billion investment from Japan into the UK’s offshore wind industry, and Rolls-Royce SMR winning a multi-billion-pound Sweden nuclear export contract off the back of the UK’s pioneering SMR programme. Meanwhile today (Tuesday 23 June), National Grid confirmed £1.2 billion of contracts to upgrade 1,000km of transmission lines.

This year’s renewable auctions have unlocked the largest chunk of private investment this parliament, with £27 billion mobilised in clean energy investment. $2 trillion investment is expected globally in clean energy this year.

The social media policy ratchet (www.openrightsgroup.org)

For more than a decade, UK governments have introduced successive child safety measures, responding to public concern about the availability of content that is either unsuitable or harmful to children, or due to harmful interactions ranging from bullying. Yet at each stage, the measures have delivered far less than was expected. Meanwhile, as online problems appear to escalate, the measures imposed seem more and more extreme, and even politicians admit that they’re likely to be less than fully effective. What is going on?
