Quorn's shrinkflation feels like an even bigger betrayal than most.

We all know the chocolate companies like nestle are evil. Quorn is supposed to be there for people making the more ethical choice. It's their entire brand!

The nugs are so small now. Tragic 😤

(lumping centrists in with RW think-tanks as they go hand in hand. Well funded think-tanks move the goalposts of what's deemed acceptable and then centrists slap themselves right into the middle of the ever shifting goal. They now hold positions that would have been unthinkable 10 years ago!)

The same moral clarity that lets them be fine with throwing minorities under the bus 🤷🏻‍♂️

Pedophilia is the one thing that rightwing think-tanks haven't made acceptable yet - so it exposes moral vacuum that the interests of capital has at it's core.

Everything is a commodity to be traded. Even kids.

I wonder when the first fire will happen at the graph warehouse 😅

It happens with so many apps but I'm surprised YouTube didn't catch this given their resources.

To be fair it should be handled better by android. I think it should just say the screen is x pixels shorter than it is so apps resize accordingly and can't display stuff behind the system menu.

I have nerve damage in my hands from MS so gesture controls are awful for me.

It's not uncommon for app designers to forget about 3 button navigation but I hold YouTube - who is owned by the same company that owns android - to a higher standard. There should be guidelines that prevent this stuff.

A screenshot of the YouTube android app navigation section showing the YouTube app navigation bar stuck below the system navigation bar.

YouTube has forgotten accessibility 🙃

A recent update made it so that you have to swipe up to see the 3 button navigation bar that used to be permanently visible (an accessibility feature to avoid gestures that they've hidden behind a gesture 🙎🏻‍♂️)

& when you do - their nav bar conflicts with it! 🤦🏻‍♂️

One glaringly obvious difference between Magyar and the democratic party is that Magyar is clear in his intentions to dismantle the infrastructure that consolidated Orban's power for so long.

I hope the Dems see this and start talking about what they'll do with the supreme court.

(They won't)

And if the government actually do anything about the situation it'll get caught up in this "war on farmers" culture war 💩 when really it's a righteous war on rich bastards like James Dyson, Clarkson, ect. (It's the Mormon church that own loads around me).

... All because they don't want to pay for fully trained HGV drivers who'll do it safely. They are always taking roundabouts too fast and tipping. One even hit a motorcyclist the other day. The tractor driver was 16. Poor kid was being exploited and will be scarred for life...

Sorry to make your funny post serious again but farms are often villains. I don't mind individual tenant farmers but that's such a small proportion these days. Mega farms suck! Where I live they own so much and they use 16 year olds to haul their goods around in massive tractors that ruin roads...

Bombs too. We love subsidising BAE who then constantly screw over their workers. Rolls Royce double dip on defence and car machoness... Also a poor employer.

I think that the reality is that businesses in unethical sectors don't operate ethically so ofc they lobby and bribe to get free shit.

But I do question the necessity. Most cars (in the west) sit in on the driveway the majority of the time. A slow charger is fine. On long trips you should take a break so 0-80% in 30 to 40 minutes is fine.

In china where taxis and car share schemes are more of a thing rapid charging is important.

The chemistry isn't changing here. It's just wired up differently. The complexity is in the electrical components that interface with the battery being able to cope with much higher and more widely fluctuating voltage ranges. Not an impossible thing to figure out.

A lot of people say the batteries are the bottleneck... That's kinda true in that a battery pack is an arrangement of cells but it's actually not too complicated. The cells they use are almost certainly the same as other cars. They are just arranged in a way that means they can accept more voltage.

It's quite funny when the centrists roll out the "purity politics" shtick. Sure in the 2 party system they've lived under all their life the argument holds... But the greens are right there polling *ahead* of imperfect labour. They are now forcing mediocrity to be the enemy of good! (not perfect).

Austerity wasn't implemented properly? Get in the bin! He got played by the billionaires. The goal was always to rip copper out of the walls and make life shit. There is no good austerity. It achieved exactly what it set out to do.

The real proof is how approachable these politicians feel. I'm sure I could talk to Hannah about lots of issues and feel listened to. Ingham would just fob me off with corporate jargon then go off to vote to make my life worse without a second thought.

I don't get how they square the "corbynista" label with the fact JC's new party crashed and burned. If this existentially large homogeneous group existed then YP would be surging and not the greens. Individuals are just joining because they like what they see. Why would they change it? 🤷🏻‍♂️

They are just tight. The main reason they opposed Brexit was cost. Any policy choices have costs and benefits but they get so absorbed in the scary *it'll cost x amount* to see the long term benefits... Like nationalising utilities means we don't rent them off glorified landlords, green energy, ect.

There's also the "progressive inertia" they had which was a very real thing. Only a few of us actually followed all the shit that was happening with internal party politics and knew what was coming. The press certainly didn't do anything to inform voters (and still don't!)

What is needed is for public transport operators to provide a bunch of data to an API that can give us all this information. It's an extra cost that will impact their profits so they wouldn't.. which is why it's necessary to have these parts of our infrastructure run by the public.

If we can get live GPS data for busses (my local buses aren't tracked for me ATM 🫩) then why can't we get data on how full it is? Are the wheelchair spots all taken? What are the accessibility features of the bus? Google tries to get the latter through crowd sourcing but it's not reliable.

This is a good and necessary update... *But* ... It would be much easier to get this info & ensure it's accessible if public transport was all owned and operated by government... And we should have our own map app so we can build in more data to help people instead of relying on a company in the US.

It's a no-brainer way to save money. When people start looking at the free energy they are missing out on by not using things at peak production they'll look for ways to use that energy either through battery storage or electrifying more things (cars, cookers, heating, ect). It's the gateway drug!

The plug in solar thing is really cool. Not enough people have been talking about it. It's not really Labour's idea. They kinda stumbled into it and the policy review is coming out at the right time for them to wheel it out as a response to the oil crisis... But it will make a big difference!

I'm still frustrated every time I need to use Google maps for a journey. It feels like an abdication of duty from the UK government that mapping is outsourced to a company in California that doesn't understand our weird road systems or really care about making the experience good.

Why are all the "green" fence/shed paints actually blue?! I'm losing my mind I swear!! 🫠

Canadians really love their "progressive" eugenics. It's a strain of brainrot I swear.

Assisted dying campaigners want you to believe that the options are this bill or unmitigated suffering

That just isn't true. So much else can be done: better palliative and social care, higher benefit levels and, eventually, a safe law drafted by experts that protects vulnerable people
