My son had a book called "You're Called What?!" which featured a tasseled wobbegong, alongside other animals such as the Shovelnose Guitarfish, Bone Eating Snot Flower Worm, and the Aha Ha.

Wow, I haven't been keeping up with MIA outside the music, but I feel like I'm missing a few steps between her pro-immigration music and endorsing far right US politicians.

UK Labour party 'ordered MPs not to join anti-racist protests' by galmuth in c/uk_politics@feddit.uk

Even though being anti-fascist is an obvious virtue, I presume it's to avoid the appearance of prosecuting the rioters for political reasons. Starmer wants to make it purely about the lawbreaking rather than their political aims.

"I can't believe that I got doxxed fleeing my home country to avoid prosecution... after making a career out of doxxing people fleeing persecution in their home country!"

Review says puberty blocker curb has not led to suicide rise by galmuth in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

[-] galmuth@feddit.uk 24 points 2 months ago

It's not used as a healthcare metric. This is just debunking reports that a healthcare policy was directly causing an "explosion" in suicides.

[Help] Issue with on-screen keyboard (feddit.uk)

submitted 7 months ago by galmuth@feddit.uk to c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

My on-screen keyboard in desktop mode has somehow become undocked and wider than the screen, making it hard to press certain keys which are half off-screen. It still works otherwise - I can open the keyboard by pressing X and close the keyboard by pressing L4.

I don't know how this has happened in the first place, and I can't find a setting for it in Steam. Any idea how I can reset the keyboard position?

Brianna Ghey: I'm open to speaking to killer's mum, her mother says by galmuth in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

Measures like Google Family Link already exist if parents choose to use them.
I don't think legislation restricting what young people can do online would necessarily help. It's illegal for kids to take drugs and drink alcohol yet it still happens. Whatever measures are put in place, there's usually a way around.

Rishi Sunak wades into debate over trans people, declaring no one can change sex by galmuth in c/world@lemmy.world

[-] galmuth@feddit.uk 32 points 11 months ago

You're not technically wrong, but it's a nuanced issue and people should treat it as such rather than black and white.

Sunak saying "no one can change sex" without any qualifying statements is just designed to inflame and divide people.

Valve Is A Wonderful Upstream Contributor To Linux & The Open-Source Community by galmuth in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml

[-] galmuth@feddit.uk 32 points 1 year ago

Valve are a private company, so Microsoft can't just barge in and buy it up.

Considering the investment Valve has poured into Linux because Gabe doesn't trust Microsoft enough to have his business rely on Windows, I'd be pretty shocked if he decided to sell up to Microsoft.

Labour rules out wealth tax if party wins next election by galmuth in c/uk_politics@feddit.uk

[-] galmuth@feddit.uk 28 points 1 year ago

This is so fucking disappointing. Labour are already running high in the polls but are busy running around giving me reasons to not vote for them.

I can't imagine anyone would be compelled to vote for them based on this either, except the super-rich. Announcing this shit is so utterly pointless.

I voted for the Lib Dems during the New Labour years and it looks like I'm heading back that way.

It's out in certain places and it's another great chapter. Very detailed, lots of good dialog. We're getting to the peak of the arc!

Police drag autistic girl out of house ‘because she said officer looked like her lesbian grandmother’ by galmuth in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

[-] galmuth@feddit.uk 159 points 1 year ago

Awful. Being autistic she may well have meant it at face value without it being an insult, and not understood what she did wrong as she just stated a fact. Then being dragged out while she had an autistic meltdown :(

Even if she did mean it as an insult and wasn't autistic, there'd be still no need to drag her out and arrest her. She's a kid. Educate her, sure, but there was no need to escalate it.
