Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Ofcom to tell social media sites to protect children from adult contentEnglish4·8 days agoI think we’re going to get a strange three tiered internet, one where you have the mainstream social media platforms etc, one that is just AI SEO bot hell and one that is buried and only really used by enthusiasts. (For example, IRC isnt dead yet not by a long shot but its entirely technical people now using it).
Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Ofcom to tell social media sites to protect children from adult contentEnglish15·8 days agoThis won’t work at all, children will begin finding even more shady corners of the internet to get around blocks & I doubt any enforcement action will actually impact the big players, this is just killing off small British websites. Foreign websites that ofcom has already tried going after have pretty much told them to piss off. Also a massive data breach waiting to happen.

Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.comto UK Politics@feddit.uk•The British economy has lost out - and sucking up to Trump will only get Starmer so farEnglish1·9 days agoI’ve already addressed how putting more investment into other areas of the country would directly benefit Londons housing situation due to it being such a over centralised hub for well paying jobs & Im fully aware London itself suffers from severe inequality.
However the budgets London & the South East gets for virtually everything are signficiantly higher than elsewhere in the country, I genuinely think that via investing in Britains secondary cities more (which compared to French & German secondary cities they are extremely underinvested in and unproductive) it’d benefit the entire country and serve to cool off the political radicalism that has been festering for a solid decade now.
Over centralisation on London is a well understood issue for the UK & we are a very unusual country by European standards for how centralised we are. Even the way the living wage is calculated is a bit unfair, there’s a special allocated “London” living wage due to high costs of living while other areas of the country such as Bristol have similar CoL expenditures but no preferential treatment in the living wage.
The transport network both road and rail is overcentralised around London even, all the major airports (with exception of Manchester) with decent numbers of destinations are also overcentralised.
The fact that London has the only signficiant underground system in the country is absolute insanity and a perfect representation of the issue (Yes I know the Weegies have one but its a tiny loop that hasnt been expanded for over a century).
Pretty sure thats called a drug dependency.

Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.comto UK Politics@feddit.uk•The British economy has lost out - and sucking up to Trump will only get Starmer so farEnglish7·10 days agoFrom the perspective of a provincial, London gets all the investment, all the opportunity & a outsized share of the decent jobs. The plebians in the shires are getting pissed off due to this and are voting for really stupid shit (likely in part due to the education budgets in these regions being lower in real terms than London & the South East), the fact they gain progress in these endeavours shows how badly a huge swathe of the country has been neglected.
The fact that whoever they vote for then seem to just ignore these areas wishes (cough Labour screwing over farmers & failing to reverse Thatcherism during the Blair years cough cough) and continue the focusing on the South East merely throws fuel on the fire. And any wishes they do enact are often propagandised self harming actions which do nothing but serve the ruling classes.
In many post industrial areas the poverty is getting pretty horrific, there are very few jobs that actually allow them to live decent lives due to cost of living with their surroundings quite literally crumbling. Where I’m from (post industrial ex Mining & Fishing area) you cant even try and start your own business as (especially commerical) properties have been bought up by London based equity firms to serve as assets to borrow against which they maintain via artifically high rents that people in these areas could never afford.
Im aware this isnt the average Londoners fault but many of Londons inhabitants fail to understand exactly where this frustration is coming from & I often hear “but London is the only net contributor” which is true but this is directly due to intentional neglect of the other parts of Britain. Vicious feedback loop.
If we could focus on other areas of the country it’d likely also benefit Londoners as the pressure on your housing market would be reduced due to people being able to move elsewhere for decent employment and oppourtunity.
Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.comto UK Politics@feddit.uk•The British economy has lost out - and sucking up to Trump will only get Starmer so farEnglish5·10 days agoI don’t think the Union is inherently bad, how its structured currently is absolutely rotten but keeping the Union and federalising it more is likely better than a total disintegration. This’d require moving focus away from purely London however and not neglecting the post industrial “mothballed” populations constantly which I don’t see happening.
Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.comto UK Politics@feddit.uk•The British economy has lost out - and sucking up to Trump will only get Starmer so farEnglish21·10 days agoDark money is involved with pushing the UK away from Europe, if Farage gets in during the next GE we’re fucked as a nation. Try and talk to everyone you know to (especially at a GE) convince them to not vote reform, they wont solve anything and are far worse than the alternatives. I can see the Union breaking up if we go down that path as well. (Id get a Scottish passport anyways so not much complaining from me but alas its still not ideal).
Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Pulse of Truth@infosec.pub•The UK’s phone theft crisis is a wake-up call for digital securityEnglish3·10 days agoIf they can get into banking apps, stock trading apps, contacts etc etc its well worth the time breaking in. The actual theives are indeed dumb fuck low lives but its who they sell it to who can cause the damage, they often use leaked police tools to get access into phones to then abuse whats inside to their hearts content.
(This is also why its smart to use OSs like graphene OS which locks down the USB port)
