mannycalavera@feddit.ukto Technology@lemmy.world•Large majority of French, German and Spanish public back tough EU stance on Big Tech, despite risk to Trump relationsEnglish1·3 天前One thing they could do right now… right now… is to set up legislation to mandate all government systems to run on Open Source operating systems and software that is owned and controlled by European small to mid size companies. Out right ban the use of US tech in government.
The migration might take time. But I’m saying simply legislate for this. Do you think they ever will? I doubt it.

How do you think they are going to do with U fucking S tech? 😱
mannycalavera@feddit.ukto UK Politics@feddit.uk•Jeremy Corbyn hints at launch of new party as leftwing alternative to Labour43·3 天前There is still distrust of the Greens when they joined that call of SNP and Lib Dems to call for election at the opportune time Boris wanted it.
That seems a pretty shit reason to distrust both the Greens or Lib Dems or the SNP. It benefits only the incumbent Tory and Labour hegemony.
It’s like millennials greeting upset over the fact that the Lib Dems had to rethink student loans when in coalition and then refusing to vote for them despite the Lib Dems being one of the only parties willing to come out against Brexit. Muh student loan is worth more than Brexit so I’ll vote for Labour that introduced student loans and positively supports Brexit fucking stupid logic.

mannycalavera@feddit.ukto UK Politics@feddit.uk•MPs vote to proscribe Palestine Action as terrorist group7·4 天前You do understand that this is about voting on a bill through parliament and not a general election? In which case the voting is the same as your parliament when voting on bills and legislation: it’s a simple majority vote.
Or were you trying to be edgy? I can’t tell.
It’s almost like the majority of people in the country (despite what they say) are subconsciously racist 🤷.

mannycalavera@feddit.ukto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Lucy Letby alleged to have murdered and harmed more babiesEnglish2·4 天前Wait I’m so confused with this story. Is she innocent or guilty?
They tried to sell me on religion in school, I thought it was a load of rubbish - I remember telling the priest exactly that when I was 11 and he wanted me to do my Holy Communion.
The priest probably wanted to fuck you in the arse - you dodged a bullet. Well done your young self!

It’s a classic political trap. Vote no on these grounds and be labelled a Nazi loving terrorist sympathiser. The facts won’t matter. They didn’t matter in the first place.

mannycalavera@feddit.ukto UK Politics@feddit.uk•The UK has published a ten-year industrial strategy to boost key sectors of the economy – here’s what the experts think4·9 天前We’ve had decades of misinformation and fear mongering about nuclear energy. Conflating it with arguments against nuclear weapons and effectively putting a stop on building the necessary infrastructure for it which we’re paying for now.
To be fair we’ve also done an incredibly bad job at rebuffing this misinformation and fear mongering from politicians and scientists alike. Whereas the French took the approach of saying “Non! Taisez-vous les hippies!”
In my fatter youth:
Large cod, large chips, side of beans.
I’m my healthier mid life:
Medium cod, large chips, curry sauce / gravy
LOL who has been down voting this? 🫣🫣🫣 Fucking internet kids.

Wow. Three smug arseholes walk into a bar… Tell me if you’ve heard this one.
