Rents wouldn’t go up in general, because the rental market is driven by wages, not by landlords’ costs. Landlords already charge as much as the market can bear.
If there’s a negative consequence, it would be on the supply side. If letting becomes less profitable, then there’s less money for renovating and maintaining rental properties.
A timely reminder to never accept a caution (unless you are damn sure you would also plead guilty in court - because that’s essentially what you’re doing).
But what style of boot do you want?
The latest Ubuntu defaults to using Wayland. On my Framework, it would freeze the whole box every few days. I switched to Xorg, and it was much better. (It’s an option on the login screen - just clock the little cog and choose Xorg before you log in.)
Perplexity cites its sources though, so you can just read those when you suspect it’s halloucinating.
It’s powerfulness IS the problem. Some parts of systemd are great. Some are meh! Some really suck. But because it’s monolithic, you can’t take the good bits and replace the bad. You have to take it all or nothing.
That’s the problem. Its architecture is offensively bad.
Decimated literally means “reduced by one tenth”. So I guess you’re right. A one third reduction is not “decimated”. It’s three times worse than that.
Malta. You just have to pay a (largish) fee, and they’ll have you.
Also punish the people responsible, like the developers, for their software and choice of used libraries.
What??
If the Tories completely collapse, then next time the FPTP nonsense might favour Reform. If they get in, they’ll do everything they can to undermine democracy, and ensure they never get voted out.
Look at Hungary, and Poland. It took an almighty effort to get the fascists out in Poland, and it will take a lot of work to undo all the damage they did.
We urgently need proportional representation.
The inews article does quote that paragraph, but it does not say whether the Russian media who praise Farage mentioned it. I’m going to guess not.
Aside: Farage is so full of shit it’s amazing he manages to sit down without it dribbling out of his mouth… “[Here’s why Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is the fault of Western ‘liberals’…] I have never sought to justify Putin’s invasion in any way and I’m not now.” Sadly, his open contempt for the intelligence of his supporters seems to be entirely justified.
I have no idea why I am being down-voted.
Just FYI. I downvoted you for the whiny edit.
Conservative members chose Liz Truss as leader too. It’s really not a good look.
The real problem for the Conservatives is just how far their membership has diverged from the mainstream of British society. Post Brexit entryism from UKIP supporters has left the Conservative Party in real trouble.
Love me some Count Binface.
So now every site has cringe popups that nobody reads or understands, thanks regulators!!
It’s not the law that mandates the awful UI of those popups… it’s Google. I’m an adwords publisher, on my blog and a couple of (formerly!) popular web-apps. My sites were all compliant with the legislation, but not with Google’s policy for adwords publishers. Their algorithm sent me an e-mail threatening to cut off my income unless I implemented one of their “approved” cookie scripts. As any fool knows, it’s simply not possible to contact a real human at Google, so I was forced to do as they wished. So now all my sites have pointless, annoying cookie popups.
Everyone hates those popups, but don’t blame the legislation - blame Google for forcing the whole Internet into malicious compliance.
British people want less immigration because they have been fed a deluge of racist, far right propaganda for years, if not decades. Propaganda that mainstream parties have failed to counter, or even tacitly endorsed.
Immigrants are not just good for the UK, they are essential. Of course immigration grows the economy, and makes us all richer (yes, even the poorest segments of society). But more than that, without immigration, our population will shrink, slowly at first, and eventually catastrophically. We need people to keep everything working, lest there is literally no one left by the time we get to retirement age.
Of course immigrants struggle to integrate when right wing governments have cut the programmes that existed to help them do that! In the 2000s, my wife (an immigrant) trained to teach English as a second language - a programme specifically designed to help immigrants learn English. The Conservatives cancelled that, along with a slew of similar initiatives. And then they feigned surprise when the far right stole their voters, and eventually took over their entire party.
Vastly reduce immigration from countries that don’t have very similar cultural identity.
So the best way to fight the fascists is to give them what they want?
I literally think that Corbyn would struggle to organise a piss-up in a brewery.
