Starmer isn't anything, he has no beliefs other than retaining power for power's sake. He has one of largest majorities in Parliamentary history and yet he is incapable of influencing the national conversation, only reacting to it.

Still hasn’t done much to fix the immigration laws

What, pray tell, is wrong with them at the moment? Immigration is generally good for the country and with the state of the economy, we need all the good we can get.

Because the people doing this aren't trying to celebrate Englishness, they're trying to intimidate minorities they don't like. Why do you think this flag raising campaign has coincided with attacks on Muslims and Filipinos?

Come on, no one buys this shit. The people who this is supposed appeal to can see this for the obvious grift it is, no one believes Starmer is being sincere here.

Eh, I don't think it's that surprising. Getting a list of comments on a post vs getting them from a search term are very similar operations, so it doesn't make too much sense for these to have different queries in the backend. One thing you could do, but no client to my knowledge does, is add a search bar to a post that searches through the comments only within that thread.

Everything in the backend uses the same sorting as the posts do on that page except comments, which is frustrating. Comments do need a different sort enum as there are some options that don't apply to comments (scaled, new comments, etc.), but yeah the fact the top options don't work for comment search when they should is opaque and not user friendly.

I can't wait for 1.0 to actually come out because I feel like a broken record, but this is fixed there.

Ah, right comments don't actually top with time ranges in 0.19: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html#sorting-comments, my bad. The fact lemmy-ui still shows all of them is very confusing, I'll admit.

This is different in 1.0, the logic was changed for both posts and comments so these will work in future.

The main difference is the Linham has a history that means it's probably not a hypothetical. He's already appearing in court on the fourth for harassing a trans woman and breaking her phone.

Corbyn congratulates Polanski and his victory and says he looks forward to working with him:

Congratulations to [Zack Polanski] on your stunning victory.

Your campaign took on the rich and powerful, stood up for the dignity of all marginalised communities, and gave people hope!

Real change is coming. I look forward to working with you to bring about a fairer, kinder world.

New video from Polanski clearly drawing up the direction he wants to take the Greens.

Good day all,

Blorp is a web client for Lemmy/PieFed. You can now access it at b.feddit.uk.

It even has a dedicated community — !blorp@lemmy.ml

Very Apple-est, so not my cup of tea, but I know that design language is popular.

 
 

Current head mod is absent for reasons unknown, so I'd like to appoint some new people. This is a fairly slow community, so shouldn't be too much work. I'll also keep an eye on reports, like I have been doing.

My only real requirement is that you're not banned from a major instance, as mod actions won't federate.

 
 

Ryan Walters, Oklahoma’s Republican State Superintendent of Public Instruction, is under investigation after he was allegedly caught streaming pornography on his office TV during a meeting of the state Board of Education.

Oklahoma’s Senate President Pro Tem Lonnie Paxton (R) confirmed in a July 25 statement that the state’s Office of Management and Enterprise Services is leading an inquiry into the incident, according to The Oklahoman.

The outlet, along with Oklahoma media nonprofit NonDoc, reported Friday that Oklahoma State Board of Education members Becky Carson and Ryan Deatherage said they had seen images of naked women on a television in Walters’ office during the closed-door executive session portion of a July 24 meeting.
[…]
Carson and Deatherage said that Walters, who drew bi-partisan criticism in early 2024 for appointing anti-LGBTQ+ hate influencer Chaya Raichik to Oklahoma’s library advisory committee to remove supposedly “pornographic” books, neither apologized for the incident nor mentioned it further.
