UK highways departments have had essentially zero budget for 2+ decades now. There’s no funding to completely retrofit every single residential street to match the new signage. Most of them are already incredibly narrow and tight compared to your average North American street.
But it can’t accommodate that speed, people get injured and killed. Hence why they roll out the 20 zones. The average UK main road is like 1/3 the width of a North American residential cul-de-sac remember.
Recently, i had to move from nixos to windows against my will simpy because of anti cheats. While i dont game that much, the few games i enjoy playing are all online with some kind of anti cheat. I used to dual boot but i was tired of having to wait for my slow hdd to load windows (i only have one ssd). I literally used linux...
I have not found any news article on this on a whim. Because my friends and family, I need to use Facebook Messenger, and Messenger Lite was a OK client - lightweight, no unnecessary features, etc., compared to the regular Messenger app....
I signed up for this month’s ago and I’m still not in. Every time I log into the app to check my waitlist, I’m some random number in the 3000s, and not always lower than last time. Why is this do you know?
I assume the Siri and Google assistant white noise just download the 20 min file when you ask and just repeat that. Whereas an 8h podcast of a 20 minute repeated sound will use 8h of bandwidth
Lots of Americans in this thread. This sort of riding is legal and encouraged in the UK and can be done quite safely. Cycling groups put out videos showing these techniques: youtu.be/VNr762i9oQU
Obviously it’s a fairly seasoned cyclist thing, and more and more cycle infrastructure is being rolled out so people don’t have to do this, but I do object to people from North America in this thread applying their laws and cultural norms to another country where this is quite normal
Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I’m just curious to know how y’all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?
Really wish there was more content. I’ve been trying to post stuff but I never get any comments either. Anything other than the few mainstream communities is just dead
This will be controversial too but having the same community on each instance doesn’t work either. There are 3 major Android communities and none have very much content, and lots of reposts etc
It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want.

Maybe on carrier bought phones where they removed the feature. If you bought an unlocked Nexus or Pixel and a SIM only plan you could always tether as much as you wanted on any UK plan.

I can see that, before I uninstalled it, it barely took 2 minute to open it and see that still only about 3 of the people I followed on Twitter are now on it, and my feed is still full of celebrity nonsense rather than anything interesting.
I thought one of the terms of the Fitbit deal with the competition ombudsman was that they had to keep it separate from fit. What makes you think they’re going to join them?
I’m subscribed to quite a few communities now but my subscribed feed is still pretty barren. Whether I sort by hot or active I’m seeing the same few posts a lot of the time, often with very few upvotes or comments. I also see months old posts popping up again and again. There is a post on one community with -39 score from 8...

Had some Pesto left over from dinner, decided to try an old tiktok trend. You just coat a frying pan with pesto, and on a medium low heat just crack some eggs into it and fry them in the pesto. Super easy and super tasty!
Raw eggs are certified as safe to eat in the UK. They previously weren’t recommended for immunocompromised or pregnant people but now they’re certified as safe for all.
Yes my pictures. I have read they like decaying matter. This was just a woodland floor with leaves and such. They’re quite small so you have to get your eye in
Lawns in the UK are nothing like lawns in the US. I never water it or use weedkiller and it stays green all year. It has buttercups and clover growing among it. I only mow it infrequently when it gets very long.
