BBC in recent years has (arguably maliciously when you look at some of the backgrounds of the recent show runners of things like question time) been presenting two views as equivalently valid when one is from a genuinely respected expert in whatever field is being discussed and another is from racist Barry from the pub who drove a leaded petrol car for a few too many years.

Presenting two sides as equal is not impartial, it gives extremists a platform to amplify their platform.

The paradox of tolerance follows that we should actively avoid platforming bad-faith extremists. Let alone presenting their views as reasonable.

Да, верно.

Don't trust anyone who posts on twitter in 2026

Hmm assuming the disk isn't super scratched up, I'm thinking you need to configure the region correctly.

I think if it was a decryption error, you'd have something different to a read error on what looks like one of the first blocks.

I remember there's a cli utility for setting the region that you should be able to get from your package manager, I can't remember the name off the top of my head

Edit: reread your post, regionset rings a bell actually. If it's not available in your package manager, perhaps try building it from source

.....erm

£12,898 according to SteamDB at today's prices

In my defense I've had my account for 20 years and had humble bundle monthly/choice for like a third of that time, so the real number is hopefully not quite that

Oh right, I think I basically only remember seeing that size in the UK in those cup dispensers on the side of those office water coolers, which now I think of it are something I'm also seeing less of these days.

There have been things marketed as AI for about as long as the term has existed.

The best way to engage with marketing if you want an accurate view of the world is: absolutely not at all.

The non spineless thing would be to tax the shit out of these companies to pay for it rather than letting them shift the cost of breaking everything onto everyone else

How big are they? The ones I have in mind are usually either 500ml or a UK pint (568ml)

I thought the solo cups were American pint size (473ml)

A 128GB blu ray should be sufficient for basically any game

Up to 256GB over two disks should be more than enough

The other comments give the answer, but if you're interested in the history of them, the Wikipedia article has a good bit of it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zine

If conservative voters were able to comprehend the world without the lens of the stereotypes they learned in high school, they wouldn't be conservatives.

 

Jessie Buckley is dug up to marry Christian Bale, while Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel are the double act of the year in Steven Soderbergh’s dark comedy. Here’s our round up of movie magic from the last six months in the UK

Big ol' list here, but a lot of interesting looking recommendations that completely passed me by

 

In a video posted to TikTok, where Katie Whitney has 2.5 million followers, she says to camera, bluntly: “This video is for Cynthia Erivo. If you’re not Cynthia Erivo … you can keep on scrolling.” Her demeanour then shifts, her voice becomes softer; more the way a person might talk to their puppy: “Hi Cynthia. Hi baby. Hey baby. How are you?” It’s toe-curling – or, in modern parlance, cringe – to watch. “I feel traumatised,” says one commenter. Others post photos of a stunned-looking Erivo and imagine: “What if the Wicked star were to actually watch this video?” Cringe!

Now 25, but having started making this kind of content – “weird skits” – at 20, Whitney is part of what is known online as CringeTok, a subsection of the internet that deals in content designed to make your toes curl. It’s in many ways a reaction to a fear of being “cringe”, which is seeping into all parts of life – from social media to classrooms to the workplace.

(Couldn't think of a better comm to post this in given there doesn't seem to be one for opinion pieces I could find)

 

You're allowed anything on the planet

No there is no clever way to use this meal to escape your fate

Not upgraded yet, but probably will given the use I get out of v2

Anyone sprung for it yet? What're the initial impressions

 

To our friends, artists, partners, collaborators, and community:

After three months of hard work, and three months of extraordinary loyalty from you, I am pleased to share that a definitive agreement has now been signed for Native Instruments to be acquired by inMusic.

Two iconic music technology companies, with decades of shared respect for this industry and the people who make music in it, are coming together to build something greater than either could alone. Our NKS hardware and MPC Editions collaboration last year was the beginning of this story. Today, we look ahead to a common future.

inMusic has spent three decades building and growing the brands that creators rely on every day — Akai Professional, Moog Music, Denon DJ, Numark, Rane, M-Audio and more. They understand what it means to build tools that musicians love. And they understand what Native Instruments means to our customers and community.

I hope other software and hardware manufacturers are quick to get on board with Link Audio, being able to avoid a physical mixer for some of my ad-hoc jams is going to be a game changer

 

As the festival draws to a close, and I've been sadly watching from home this year—what's everyone's highlights?

I might just be still in shock, but holy shit The Prodigy just absolutely demolished it.

Biffy, Franz and Scissor Sisters being the other most memorable shows I've seen so far. I've enjoyed a lot of what's been on West Holts as per usual.

A little disappointed in Neil Young's set, he felt a bit lacking in energy to me, but maybe I set my expectations a bit high. I think Pulp put on a great show, but I'm not sure it deserves the lauding it seemingly got in this morning's press.
