PSA there's a big sale on the eshop until April 27. Quite a few first-party titles with a 33% discount and others with bigger discounts. I picked up Portal 1 & 2 for about £3, it really is good.

I also discovered https://www.dekudeals.com/ recently - it tracks prices over time so you can see how good the current discount is and physical/digital from different retailers.

I would assume it's a spam email and delete it. Are they really deporting people over email? Seems more like a postal letter kind of thing.

What a weird site. Thaiembassy .com but it's not actually a Thai embassy, it's just some law firm that hooks you up with the visa and gives you a membership card.

How can you get anything done with that? You'll need to keep on complaining, otherwise they'll never do anything about it.

That's cheap. I'm with Virgin, and when I was checking Fibre deals a year or two ago, I'm sure they all required line rental which put the price way up. I can see it's much more reasonable now.

Why are they banning knives and swords category by category (e.g., zombie knives, ninja swords) instead of a broader ban?

I didn't even know they did their IPO yet - I knew they were planning it for years though.

I remember seeing that meme, I just didn't get it at the time

This seems like such a useful feature and I hope lemmy brings it. What else does piefed do?

 

Even with the caveats about limited data and untangling causation and correlation, the statistics are striking: the first year of a scheme in Wales where the speed limit on urban roads was lowered to 20mph resulted in about 100 fewer people killed or seriously injured.

The article says it's not poisoning the AI data, only providing valid facts. The scraper still gets content, just not the content it was aiming for.

E:

It is important to us that we don’t generate inaccurate content that contributes to the spread of misinformation on the Internet, so the content we generate is real and related to scientific facts, just not relevant or proprietary to the site being crawled.

37h, but I'm an employee, not a business owner. I can see how running your own business, you could end up racking up loads of hours - but you also get to set your own salary to a degree
