Nope, the money from people using right to buy was expressly ringfenced for everything BUT buying/building more social housing stock.

Well yeah, that and also me messing up FSTAB. Which I have definitely never messed up before, honest. Everything appears to be stable post deletion. It turns out I can be trusted with FSTAB.

I try to avoid all "AI" slop as it's a poor substitute for working anything. Sadly the melted brain sloppers seem to love tricking people into using it in any capacity. I ditched windows to get away from the slop, why would I look at a sloppy website/game/pic?

I've seen this one before... Labour can even use the same poster as they are pushing the same policies.

The best visibility update from my customer perspective has been the release calendar they introduced a few months back. I hope the algorithm update is in a similar vein.

Not one PoC amongst EG or RPS staff... EG is just a sea of white staff. www.eurogamer.net/authors RPS also doesn't have any female staff on their authors page www.rockpapershotgun.com/authors There are freelancers on both, but that is a gender&race pay disparity compared to being employed.

As a holder of a very old (and spent) criminal record and also changed names a decade+ later, can confirm that it's linked enough for disclosures, DBS, PNC, etc, without me doing anything. If I do a GRC I can even get my name changed on the PNC... but that's the only time I need to be proactive.

I've never seen such a diverse set of ads for a show, OSes, system update notes, smart devices that serves ads. I'd like to think that JKR has poisoned it to such a degree that WB is panicking and throwing ads out like spaghetti on walls.

I have no IOT devices, and my PC is on Linux. And yet the only device I have that I don't fully control (my phone) served an ad for the mould wizard in the system update notes. I don't want ads in my system update, and that goes double for terf shit.

The Stanley Parable did this on release. Every time someone figured out the method for a secret achievement they'd upload a new build with different method. It was funny as anything watching people try and replicate a method that worked earlier honest.

In 2012 it took me slightly less than 2 years from referral to surgery. And now NHS England cannot clear the backlog, and is actively trying to increase it, as well as limit access to external providers/services.

So Edinburgh Council were full of shit. They fully intend to comply with the transphobic EHRC guidance.
Draft Policy Statement Hygiene Facilities City of Edinburgh Council
1. Background
1.1 n 5 August 2026, the Equality and Human Rights Commission's updated Code of Practice on Services. Public Functions and Associations (the "Services Code" came into effect. The majority of the changes to this Code of Practice are to accoun for the Supreme Court's decision in For Women Scotland v Scottish Ministers (the "Supreme Court Ruling") that, for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010 (the "201C Act"), the term 'sex' refers to a person's sex assigned at birth only. That decisior has required changes to a number of sections of the Services Code, but its largest impact is seen in relation to the provision of single-sex services
1.2 These changes willimpact a number of areas; however, one of the most prevalen is the provision of hygiene facilities. As a result of the Supreme Court Judgement vhere single-sex toilets are offered, transgender and non-binary persons are no able to use the toilet associated with their affirmed gender and may not be able to use the toilet associated with their sex assigned at birth. Alternative provision may therefore be required to ensure that transgender and non-binary persons are not lef without a facility to use.
1.3 The Council has therefore undertaken a review of its hygiene facilities across ove 500 buildings across 282 sites to understand what is currently offered and inforr any changes that may be required. This draft policy document outlines the proposed principles which will be used when determining from that review what changes are required to the Council's buildings. The Council is seeking to engage on this draf policy with any groups that may have insight into the impact these changes may have.
1.4 This draft policy statement aligns with the decision of the Council's Policy anc Sustainability Committee on item 8.5 at its meeting of 18 August 2026. It is intended that this draft policy statement (along with details of any engagement in respe…2. Draft Policy Statement Hygiene Facilities 
2.1 The Council intends to review its hygiene facilities in line with the following 
principles: 
2.1.1 Where single-sex hygiene facilities are required by law (e.g. by the School 
Premises (Requirements and Standards) (Scotland) Regulations 1967) 
these will be provided. 
2.1.2 Hygiene facilities with multiple cubicles and a shared sink area will be 
designated as single-sex, to ensure that privacy is afforded while using 
these facilities. 
2.1.3 Hygiene facilities (other than accessible facilities) where a sink and toilet 
are provided in a single fully enclosed lockable cubicle will be designated as 
gender-neutral, to maximise the facilities open for all to use.
2.1.4 The Council will (as far as is proportionate) ensure that all of its buildings 
have at least one gender-neutral hygiene facility, to ensure persons are not 
left without a facility to use. Where demand for facilities is such that a 
building requires additional gender-neutral facilities, this will be considered 
and provided where proportionate. 
2.1.5 The Council will (unless practically unfeasible or financially
disproportionate) provide gender-neutral hygiene facilities in addition to 
existing accessible facilities, in order not to reduce the ability of those with 
accessibility needs to access those facilities. 
2.2 Any changes needed across the Council’s estate will be assessed on a location-bylocation basis in order to take into consideration unique circumstances, such as the 
age and fabric and use of a building and which options for adaptation represent best 
value. 
2.3 Consultation and engagement will not routinely take place for each building or 
location, but may be necessary where options for adaptation are complex, 
prohibitively expensive or where it is otherwise considered appropriate.

Not only play how I want, but I might even lower the difficulty to a point I find the game fun. I'm gonna take the "noob weapon" and have fun, rather than worry about a community imposed restriction that I don't care about.

I've noticed that the sites IGN buys get restricted on what reviews they can do/when their reviews can drop... How can RPS and EG not have a Zero Company review? XCOM + Star Wars seems like a slam dunk for them. But only IGN has reviewed it amongst their sites. It's not all games, but noticeable.

Wasted a week trying to solve a multithread race condition on startup, in the end I stuck in a small loading bar that increased by 15%+RNG per second to sidestep the entire race condition. The RNG was added because uniform jumps was "fake loading" but randomness made it look legit.

Lets take it in context then... You want trans Americans to vote against their very existence to save them from another party that is also against their existence. If you had good will, you would be standing with them, not telling them to vote for any party that wants to kill them.

I've never understood who they are doing it for voting wise, as full fasc supporters will vote for that, and people with a shred of humanity won't. It's like they want to see if they can live out their own power fantasies using us as the guinea pigs... including trying to dispose of us.

Same in the UK. You either stand for equal rights for all and get my vote or don't and I cheer as you fail. There is no "we need to do a little fascism to get power", that's just fascism with extra weaselling, and you deserve nothing but failure for thinking it.

When I lived in the UK none of my concerns e.g. affordable housing, climate action, increases in welfare spending, scrapping tuition fees, an ethical foreign policy, were ever framed as legitimate concerns. lnstead I was routinely told to fuck off by most political parties for having such concerns.
