UK Politics@feddit.uk•Lord Mandelson arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public officeEnglish
13·19 hours agoNot really got to the legal system yet. We’ll see how that goes.
We have a police force capable of following evidence they’ve been hit over the head with, at least once the politicians have distanced themselves. It’s something, but I wonder why it’s taken as long as it has.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•We conduct affairs of state in a building that’s riddled with asbestos and mice. Can’t Britain do any better? | Rupa HuqEnglish
1·1 day agoThe cavernous, ancient Westminster Hall, dating to 1097, where the late Queen Elizabeth II lay in state, is resolutely immune to getting any internet or mobile phone reception
That sounds perfect for conducting parliamentary business in. Get them off their phones whilst debating.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Hollywood Is Lying to Everyone About How Much AI They're Using, Says Consummate Hollywood InsiderEnglish
71·1 day agoWait until people find out how many films aren’t true at all. Loads of them are totally made up. They spend so much money faking things that never happened. It’s crazy.
I’m not suicidal.

41·1 day agoMassage… that’s what I’m meant to get riled up about?
We’re talking about leaking national secrets and predatory sexual actions. BBC needs to get some perspective.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I think Lemmy in general is very against AI. I'm rather new here, is it like a fediverse group thing or is this even based on reality?English
111·2 days agoTwo points
- Living with a knife to your throat is also highly dangerous and exciting. I don’t recommend it.
- The tech can’t be un-invented, but it’s still very much up for discussion wether society puts significant resources into the data centres to run this. Regulations on responsible use are also up for discussion.
It’s not a forgone conclusion by any means.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Banned Mullvad VPN TV ad criticizing United Kingdom escalating censorship and mass surveillance “And Then?”English
4·2 days agoYea, but it’s growth is limited. People seem incapable of using a platform if there isn’t an algorithm telling them what to look at.

2·2 days agoWell that’s going to be a good vector for feeding disinformation to the police.

Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•Myths about EVs and Fires - How dangerous in strata are they really?English
2·4 days agoIt’s that potential energy that gets released when they burn. 9 times more energy equals a bigger woof when it goes.

Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•Myths about EVs and Fires - How dangerous in strata are they really?English
3·4 days agoNeither do they realise…
EVs use lithium-ion batteries with an energy density of around 0.3 kWh/kg. Gasoline, by comparison, has an energy density of roughly 13 kWh/kg. That means ICE vehicles, including diesel cars, store nearly nine times more potential energy than EVs
They’re probably saying the battery is 4x the weight of a fuel tank. Not far off.

Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•Myths about EVs and Fires - How dangerous in strata are they really?English
81·4 days agoWell that’s down to unsafe design. Car locks that don’t open in an emergency has nothing to do with EV or not. All cars have electric locks these days run from the low voltage (12v/24v) battery.

Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•Myths about EVs and Fires - How dangerous in strata are they really?English
41·4 days agoPart of the problem is those fires are significantly harder to put out than other vehicle fires are.
If the battery is actually burning, yes… But that’s not a given. Upholstery burning is still a car fire.
Regardless, there’s a lot fewer fires. The easiest fire to extinguish is one that didn’t happen.

UK Politics@feddit.uk•[Video] Green party leader Zack Polanski claims Zionism is not historically racist and claims the problem with Israel is only the Netanyahu government.English
2·5 days agoI don’t see how a genocide is nuanced gray area. There is no justification for that.

2·5 days agoHe’s right so far as “the label doesn’t matter”. What matters is how you stop what’s happening today, because what’s happening today is wrong.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public officeEnglish
3·5 days agoI suspect he’s more likely the one that will turn on the others to save himself.
There’s no honour amongst them.
