    Means testing a winter fuel payment so it’s not being used to put down deposits on next years cruise isn’t exactly “pitting workers against pensioners” is it? But then the Morningstar is half ill-researched waffle, and half conspiracy theory nonsense.

    Thanks for being a conscientious smoker; I’m afraid you’re in a witheringly small minority. If someone drinking a pint could blow a potent cloud of second hand pint into my personal space, then I might agree there is an equivalence, but there isn’t.

    Well the ratings are part of the evidence base used to justify CEO pay, which is why they are threatening this. Hard to say you personally deserve more money if the company has gone from 4-Star to 1-Star.

    This is just one man’s take, but, Neds and Chavs aren’t quite the same (I grew up in Glasgow but have also lived south of the border for most of the last 18 years). Neds are criminals, Chavs are anti-social. The equivalent to Chavs in Scots would be Jakey, Bam, or Gadgie.

    Where I lived in NL that was the case too. In fact, we considered Amsterdam quite disorganised by comparison. If every road in London lost two parking spaces for bike racks, and every lime bike had to be parked in one, the situation would be much improved. Ultimately you should have the same responsibility to park a Lime bike you would have to your own bike.

    Honestly, I sympathise, but if car drivers, even Tesla drivers, acted like Lime riders, then we’d be furious. Lime riders too regularly conceptualise their journey as only impacting themselves, but active travel options need to exist within the societal ecosystem, and currently far too many aren’t. I live on a one way, and FAR too often I have had to stop my car to move one of these bikes that was “parked” mid-road, and another regular occurrence is moving bikes that are impeding access for disabled folks. Ultimately, Lime bikers need to feel some responsibility to their societal peers, and that so many don’t is a recurring issue.

    All. A truly barbaric proposal.

    The humans they traded like political chips should all get to go to Braverman’s house and piss on her doormat.

    No, we don’t. We have a trickle of illegal immigrants and until this month a batshit plan to fly the ones that got caught to Rwanda if they tried to claim asylum.

    The Sunflowers? They are a trans, NB and Women’s baseball team. Watch “A League of Their Own” and tell me that women’s baseball isn’t a protest in itself.

    Polly Neate makes £122,500 as the CEO of Shelter. That’s good money but much less than her skills could demand on the open market, and a damn far ways off yacht money. Please don’t spout this ardent nonsense.

    The two guys responding to the “rip it down” chant are lucky the rigger that mounted that banner took his job seriously. Pulling a rolling projector screen down on your head is going to end you up in A&E.

  • Came across an issue with this post: https://lemmy.ml/post/9922111 When viewed in browser it’s a scene from Star Trek about beards, when viewed in Avelon though it’s a video of chinchilla’s dancing and waving their butts about. Happens each time the post loads, in both the main feed and the post view itself.

    Hey @evgiz, I have a quick wee feature request. I’ve got the mark read in scroll AND hide on read features enabled. As it stands I get about 20 posts or so from last I checked Avelon, followed by months old content. It would be great if, at least on my Home feed, I could have the feed end at posts older than a week? Thanks muchly, J.

    Hey bud, was wondering if you could start mirroring the RC of a release to TestFlight. I’ve noticed during the last few releases (three at least) that after a TestFlight pass an RC is pushed to the Production channel but not mirrored to TF. That means that the TF testers are back and forth between TF+AppStore, and that TF testers can’t use the feedback function or send logs if we encounter issues in the RCs.

    I noticed a couple things on the new TF build. Posting works, but, when both posting and commenting, the content box is bordered by what seems to be a 2px red line. It’s also slightly counter intuitive when drafting a new post, to have to hit “Done” before being able to hit Publish.
