Had to book an AirBNB with a microwave in France because searching for a restaurant that can cater to coeliacs in Brittany resulted in “these guys can do salad without toast.”
I expect coeliacs in France just … die?
Thing is, Keith, literally nobody voted for you to do David Cameron cosplay for five years.
So maybe what you need to cut is not imaginary “red tape”, but “the crap”, and start doing your job?

Funny-not-funny, isn't it, how the folks queuing up to assassinate Donald Trump all seem to be right-wingers stirred up by confrontational/apocalyptic rhetoric.
(I'm now upgrading my worst case outcome for November 4th to: Trump wins the election, then is assassinated by a neo-nazi. Which would be the PERFECT "Reichstag Fire" inciting incident for the incoming Vance dictatorship.)

Looking at the interior photos, it appears to have one way glass?
I'm liking the Art Deco aesthetic. I'm liking this /much more/ than the damn Cybertruck. It's immensely impractical, and I'm not sure it'll ship in this form, but I think this is actually pretty cool.
I'd have one as a prop.

Ah. Got it. Its just everywhere now, the hate.
Every "generation" thinks they are so unique. Yet every 10 years we get new anti feminist slang and slurs.
Same as it ever was.

Us: Ok, Labour, to stop Reform doing an AfD or a Marine La Pen, all you need to do is not be Tories. So what did you do?

yes.. well
except that Reform / UKIP/ Brexit Party already did something much worse than the AfD.
They converted the Tories into Reform, and they had been in power for 14yrs, until recently.
So the UK challenge is really very different. Much more advanced on the shit arc.

As a child, I grew up speaking the East Midlands dialect of English.
But I was led to believe that were I to “get on in life”, I would need to speak Standard Southern British English.
As I believed this, I willingly embraced it and now I mostly do speak SSBE.
But I’m somewhat bitter about needing to, even if I did willingly embrace it at the time because, as I was taught, I thought my own dialect was “unsophisticated”.
It wasn’t; it was just different, but in the 70s and 80s even local celebrities who made it big on the national stage were encouraged to drift linguistically towards London, and if they didn’t, that acted as a barrier.
It’s less the case now, but with the benefit of hindsight I do feel a bit resentful about it.
As times have changed, and as I don’t feel that I have anything to prove, I increasingly find myself drifting back towards the way I used to speak as a child.

Any idea what we can do to mitigate remote contacts using animated GIFs for their avatars and causing zombie worker jobs because PHP can’t handle the format? It started as a small issue, but more and more people (especially on lemmy) seem to be using these avatars and it’s causing a significant administration headache where I have to find out which contact is responsible by manually searching the SQL database and then server blocking them.
If Update Contact failed gracefully it would be less of an issue, but it doesn’t. I’m sure I can’t be the only one seeing this?
@Sarah Brown @Steffen K9 🐰 @Hypolite Petovan Maybe it is something Alpine Linux specific. I Am also using Alpine and I also had this error all the time. Either the one you posted (gd-webp cannot allocate..) or another one. Currently I only see this one, but very often :
Fatal Error (E_ERROR): Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 96485376 bytes)
I tried to allow more memory, up to 2048M.. it didn't help.. (now I am using 512M again) I don't know why this happens. But I understand it is not nice, having the admin log section full of it. 😕
What PHP version and memory_limit do you use? ( I use PHP 8.3.10 and 512M)
Been thinking about Sarah’s history of English royalty since William t he Conquerer. Let me know if I left anything important out:
Succession crisis -> civil war.
Civil war resolved, negotiated succession.
Descendant of negotiated successor pisses everyone off -> civil war.
Descendant forced to accept terms.
Stability for a bit while they’re busy fighting other people.
Succession crisis -> civil war.
Civil war resolved violently.
Succession crisis (religion). Civil war narrowly averted.
Dynasty goes extinct. Succession negotiated.
Descendant of negotiated successor pisses everyone off -> civil war.
Civil war resolved through decapitation.
Succession crisis. Civil war averted via negotiated succession.
Succession crisis -> civil war fizzles
Dynasty goes extinct (yes, Charlie, it did. Shut up)
Parliament is finally utterly fucking sick of this lot starting civil wars, installs German puppets. The end.

BREAKING! In a move that the Liberal Democrat party hopes will finally deal with their transphobe problem, they have handed the Sudetenland to the transphobes.
In exchange, the transphobes pinky promised that they won’t demand any further concessions, “you know, for a bit anyway”.
