Lmao at David Campbell, City of Bradford MDC Biodiversity Officer's comment, stealing her thunder right at the top:

The Planning and Infrastructure Bill very much sits in the space Attenborough was aiming at when he said "We have a finite environment—the planet. Anyone who thinks that you can have infinite growth in a finite environment is either a madman or an economist."

The reason Attenborough et al are screening it for these politicians is because they're doing things wrong.

They are, in fact, biscuits. They are cooked twice, baked then dried.

But they're also cakes. It's like a dried cake. Biscuit cake.

is labouring under about £20bn of debt and is running out of cash.

Claw back the money from investor dividends and management bonuses then.

I heard he was actually a king from Madagascar, and he likes to move it move it.

You put the mug in the microwave, that's how.

Just the mug and water, mind. You microwave the teabag separately.

They are scones. Savoury scones.

Biscuit literally means twice cooked, from the French, originally from Latin. A biscuit is first baked, then dried. These scones are cooked but once.

What's really weird is that the dish originated in the British Channel Island of Guernsey, where a lot of people speak French (it is close to France than England), most of their roads are French, and they have their own French dialect. And yet they cooked something once and called it a biscuit.

But those other 2 are chock full of extremists.

I always saw those two as something like far left indoctrination camps where people learn and practice astroturfing techniques.

The lemm.ee admin is a shit hot developer though, his instance was generally more robust than all the others, and he helped other instances when they had various problems. It's a shame he wasn't the lead lemmy developer, although I'm sure he doesn't have the time for such a big undertaking.

It does happen often, and it changes over time. For example, my HSBC app used to work just fine without Play Store at all, then it requried some integrity, now it requires strong integrity.

Are you ok? (infosec.pub)
 

I figure it's probably time this community has some formal rules, that way I can properly justify wielding a ban hammer from time to time. So far we've skirted by without a single report or any issues I felt worthy of attention, however someone finally broke my duck and sent a report.

This place is nothing without the users that visit and populate it with content, though, so I'm creating this post to ask you lovely folks how you think the community should be run.

Here's a set of rules I totally made up myself and didn't steal from somewhere else:

Rules

  1. No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.
  2. Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.
  3. No porn.
  4. No Ads / Spamming.

I'd also probably throw something in there about AI images, but I can't be bothered to write that now and my dinner's getting cold.
