I can immediately tell you're not arguing in "good faith" when you resort to "mean tweets". The numbers commonly being reporting include stalkers, criminals, etc. You don't get arr…

Yes, the UK is famously unique in having sexual assault against children.

I'm pretty disappointed to see all this nonsense about the UK on Hacker News. Like the UK being the most scary country of all Western democracies? Have you not see what's happening…

Can I ask an honest question? Why does that matter in the slightest? LLMs come out with completely incorrect information all the time, and Western LLMs are censored for various top…

Yeah, I'm amazed that it's like that. The "hacker" part now is completely lost on people. They just don't see the big picture, it isn't just about getting your money's worth. Some …

Again, this would not apply to pre-existing games.

No, what's silly is that you haven't even taken the time to read the initiative. You're coming out with the same incorrect arguments as PirateSoftware did. What they're saying is (…

I have a nice balance of using AI at work as a C#/TS developer which allows me to get stuff done and working on personal projects at home using AI purely for ideas when I'm stuck o…

The ten main Malazan books are 3.3 million words, apparently. No wonder it took me such a long time to get through them.

Especially because technically games run pretty amazing on Linux. The issue is always the anti-cheat that they decided to implement. There's at least one anti-cheat that "works" on…

Ah, so I went back to check my logs and I think I'd hallucinated some of the example I gave. I actually asked the question in two parts. > Taskmaster Season 8, without spoilers, ho…

This is a choice for you! I'm a pretty heavy PC gamer and whilst I've run Linux since I was in college (UK college, not US) I've always had a Windows install for gaming. A few year…

I tried DeepSeek via chat, and gave it a rather simple question: "Can you tell me who was on series 8 of Taskmaster, and what's the general opinion about the series? No spoilers!" …

I can understand that, but for me he doesn't come across as a "bad" person. He hasn't come out with racism, sexism, etc. he just comes across a bit rude and blunt IMO. I'm much mor…

I don't hate it as such, but it's very buggy. The big one is that when I'm invited to meetings it stopped putting up a reminder to join after doing it forever so I kept being late …

I personally can't understand why anyone bothers doing open source anything. This Micay guy spends so much time and does something hugely beneficial and we're arguing about how he …

I've never met an Irish person that "blames" the modern English for what our ancestors did. I might be talking out of turn, but I think they mainly just want us to acknowledge what…

I think JetSetWilly's opinion is not the normal in England, at least around people my age. I was always taught what a lot of people here say, that the potato blight was a natural d…

Did you try disabling JavaScript on Amazon? It actually doesn't function too badly. I know, I know, you shouldn't need to do it and I agree.

So, you trust some other random people with your privacy instead then?

I bought a wool jumper from Next about 7 years ago for probably around £30, and it's lasted me until now, and will probably last another 7 years. I don't really take any special ca…

As far as I know they are live. People are using the share codes for renting, etc. On /r/ukvisa I've seen a few stories already.

Anyone else use YouTube as basically background noise? When I'm working I live putting on some ASMR and just listening to it in the background. I find it less distracting then musi…

Odd, the large Tesco near me has no coin required for the trolleys. However, the Lidl and Sainsbury's do. I don't carry cash, but I keep a few pound coins in the car just in case. …

I've already heard stories of people coming back to the UK from a trip abroad, and UK border staff insisted to see their BRP even though it's acceptable now for it to be digital. I…
