Whilst it is still available, The World Service provides News, Music saved Cultural broadcasting on radio, TV and online.

How long this goes on no-one, and it really is no-one knows, as the FCO support has been cut in half as part of the Defence Budget shifts.

The lack of foresight and miserliness of the Govt is apolitical.

In the meantime, use the World Service. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_World_Service

But they were fined for the administrative infraction and there's nothing to say that future subscriptions by the same individuals wouldn't have increased fines up to the total of €5,000.

The Left's failure had nothing to do with this election, what passes for the Left in the USA anyway. The Left were irrelevant.

The Stupidity of Crowds is as likely as its intelligence but if its news and cultural media only feed it pap and poor fiction it's not stupidity but choosing what seems less worse to them.

All voters, whether educated or not, regardless of which shard of the species they flock with voted with the same motive.

11 days is not a delay, it's a tea break. Don't let'em grind you down.

@dansup @loops

What about repeat postings to keep a video up which would expose the platform to those sticky costs and work against that rational aim?

It would be annoying in all sorts of ways to have to provide a direct way for a user to fund that and it might give rise to unwanted behaviour where some entity can buy storage and delivery in ways that the regular user can't.

Otherwise limited lifetime seems a positive feature.

@ryanhoulihan

It's a silent joke about size.

@dansup

The latter is the only sane way to go, separation of concerns, no shared secrets.

@dansup

This is frequently the way with outgrowths. Perhaps incorporate them as named Features? Even if they have their own infrastructure.

@ryanc @GossiTheDog

The, how many disasters from homelessness index.

As that becomes a review of how clustered are any assets it rapidly becomes clear that though the magnitude of disaster can be different the number that could clear anybody out is much smaller than they think.

I have never got as excited as some by our derby games mostly because my younger brother was an Evertonian and other than the usual ribbing.

As an aside, it's worth, I think, following the whole channel @dot_social which has a number of interviews with some of the sparkling lights of the Federated cosmos.

And following directly demonstrates exactly the point of a Federated network across platforms and users.

@ryanc

Pain over memory.
Do you have to take something like Omeprazole to handle digestive side effects? I'm not supposed to take NSAIDs but I cheat occasionally.

I hope it passes quickly.

@dansup

Preferring irc over discord is a matter of wisdom, this may correlate with age but not necessarily.

@BethanyBlack @tokensane @cstross @JelliedHeals @ChrisMayLA6

If it means nurses don't need three jobs to maintain their life, one of which may well be health care, then it may well have benefits. From consultants as a resource it's going to have to come down to NHS work taking priority over elective private work.

That doesn't necessarily mean overtime in the understood sense of most people.

Resource management is one of the many sins of the NHS.

@ChrisMayLA6

It's a smokescreen. Age related regulation or laws are discriminatory, if it's legal for one adult it's legal for all.

And yes it does nothing about children vaping.

For those looking for setting, or checking, the option on the Web interface go to Preferences, Public Profile, Privacy and Reach and the option

Tradition upheld then.

@BBCRadio4 @Detour

After an internal battle of 30 years and the myopia that those that can't receive FM or DAB are bound to have Internet.

LW was the emergency bandwidth, do we think an internet connection is more likely to work than a long wave transmitter? That feels like hubris.

I imagine nuclear submarine commander orders have had to change.

@SallyStrange

There are atheist conferences? What would be debated? "There is no God." 'Yes we all agree." "Let's go drink beer" "No I don't think so"

If it needs clarifying, the guy is an idiot, if he's a dangerous idiot then it's because there are a lot of other idiots around.

@dansup @pixelfed

It's not really much different to having a postmaster email address.
