What kind of person leaves the crust? Pizza ain’t pizza without the crust.

I used to read them, they often had good in depth tutorials. The Format branding has been going for a long time, I can remember reading Amiga Format.

There were a few other Linux magazines as well, Linux User, Linux Magazine, Linux Voice. I think there’s still a Raspberry Pi magazine as well which covers a lot of Linux stuff.

However, it is important to note that these digital IDs are not a replacement for the original physical ones. Furthermore, U.K. residents cannot use digital IDs at airports for travel.

Additionally, Google states that it is also exploring certification with the U.K.’s Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology, which could enable residents to use their digital IDs for alcohol purchases and other purposes.

So you can add your passport to Android but effectively not use it for anything? Does anywhere in the UK accept this Google system as ID?

The article also mentions a partnership to add Railcards to it, but there is already a Railcard app for that, so I’m not sure what this actually for.

We already have a semi privatised identity system with the PASS card scheme for proof of age, its government backed but the actual physical and digital IDs are provided by various public and private groups.

There are 4 bay units that would fit on a 10” inch shelf. I’ve seen some DIY projects too.

Using SFF/mini PCs is also popular, there are models that can take multiple SATA/NVMe drives

There are few if any 10” UPS units available anyway so weight is less of a worry. It’s one of the biggest weaknesses of the 10” system currently.

Labour chose to take this particular stance today. There are many other approaches they could have taken, they could have also tried to dodge the matter and kick they can down the road, but instead “trans women are not women” is what they have chosen to actively embrace.

(Further) pandering to the transphobic lobby is not necessary, and what’s been said today is far beyond pandering.

They could have announced they would look to introduce new legislation to address this. They could have said just about anything instead of what’s been said today.

But they didn’t, they are instead parroting the court ruling as if it’s a final settlement on the issue as whole.

There is no weaselling around these words, the only debate is whether it exposes cowardice or bigotry.

Even by the low standards I had for Labour’s approach, this is depressing.

But Pokemon was a show about a fantasy world of made up animals with magic powers. 4Kids felt kids would be able to grasp that, but not rice balls.

Kids could accept a weird yellow mouse that could shoot lightning bolts, they would have accepted some weird food they hadn’t heard of either.

The platform owners don’t consider engagement to me be participation in meaningful discourse. Engagement to them just means staying on the platform while seeing ads.

If bots keep people doing that those platforms will keep letting them in.

Back in the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube era the SNES and Megadrive seemed to be retro while the PS1 and N64 were just “old”. So maybe 2 generations ago is the start of retro.

I think it’s definitely a lot blurrier now though. The differences between consoles and the leaps between generations are less pronounced, and there are so many y rereleases and remasters now keeping older games fresh.

Getting employers to do so will probably require improved labour laws and investment, which doesn’t look forthcoming yet.

Instead I fear we will end up with some more unbinding guidelines employers will ignore, and then those who still cannot find work will have the rug pulled from them with the cuts.

They were still making MiniDiscs and MiniDV tapes? That seems more of a surprise than the Blu-ray discontinuation.

I’m also using iOS in the UK. I just tried searching for Pixelfed in the App Store and the ad was for some sort of golf tutoring app.

The top search result was the Pixelfed app and the others all other Fediverse apps.

It will be counterproductive in a lot of cases, if the ultimate goal is to get people back into work.

There’s a lot of areas of the country unfortunately where not being able to drive makes it very hard or near impossible to find work. It could also affect any of the sanctioned person’s dependents in a similar way.

Testicular torsion is no joke. If they get tangled even the manliest of men can be in for a very rough time.

Keir Starmer’s full statement is available on the GOV.UK website here.

Nintendo consoles tended to be radical, Nintendo handhelds were more iterative.

The Game Boy and DS lines all built gradually on each other, seems the Switch line is following suit. I assume Nintendo see the Switch as a handheld that can be docked, rather than a console that’s also portable, so I guess it makes sense that it’s following a similar trajectory of previous handheld lines.

Everything has to look so serious these days.

The colourful Joy Cons were part of the Switch’s identity, sad to see it reduced to an accent they seem almost ashamed of.
