I don’t think it’s anything as sinister from the current government. I’m not saying it’s a good idea, but they’re more stupid and weak than they are totalitarian. British Labour has had an obsession with “tech” solutions for social issues since the start of the Blair years. Sometimes it works, but as often it’s mired in incompetency and corruption.

I suspect that this recent spate of apparent puritanism is because they recognise that gender-based and sexual violence are “issues” after the discourse around Adolescence, but they can’t/don’t want to do anything actually meaningful (improve welfare, job opportunities, life prospects) so are latching onto what they believe are “easy” solutions. No-one with power actually understands how net infrastructure works, or cares about privacy as a principle, but they do have a group think that also leads them to think that this might make some inroads with “the right.”

It’s all absolute garbage being slapped together by career politicians who don’t understand anything and are primarily interested either in their next election or their post-parliament careers.

The BBC has slowly been captured by Tory and right-wing heads who probably see capitulating as a valid option, and the Labour government is so limp that they would veto any serious retaliation from the BBC.

I work in biomedical research. We had an item delivered in a 40x40x40cm, dry ice container. It was a tiny vial smaller than my thumb.

A very expensive, tiny vial.

Maybe the nazi instances are defederated

Read a comfort book/watch comfort show. You know it won’t hit as hard, but it’ll still be fun.

We get prints of photos of our daughter and from holidays for exactly this reason. Snapfish does pretty cheap prints, so although they’re not amazing quality they’ll still do for having a look through every now and then.

Unfortunately, my memory is pretty shit so I often forget how I fucked up when the situations come around again.

The ass is indeed part of the gut

Bet that does your gut flora a world of good!

Imagine this as a cyclist when people roll at junctions and you don’t know if they’re seeing you or about to t-bone you

Slay The Spire is on mobile. It used to have a few issues years ago, but these were sorted last year. Runs pretty well now!

FFS, it’s not like I avoid the news but I had no idea there were people on hunger strike in this country. Absolute failure of journalism.

Based on the reports by other Lemmy users it sounds like it’s worse.

Not ruining it for me, just saying.

Why not both? Digitising isn’t necessarily more reliable.

What a cunt that person is.

The nation of Scotland would beg to differ…

Owlbsolutely no idea who you’re talking about

It’s not a natural leap to go from a few promising rat studies to “excellent liver tonic,” especially since “liver tonic” is such a vague and meaningless term.

There is actual, hard evidence of coffee’s benefits for liver health: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0006295225006033#ab010

Epidemiological, experimental, and clinical evidence suggests that regular coffee consumption reduces the risk of liver disease and slows its progression to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Dandelion may indeed have similar properties, yes, but the evidence base is not there yet to make such strong claims.
