I picked one of these up around 2015 and used it as my main phone for ~2 years. It’s a cool phone and I had a great time messing around with it.

Unfortunately the hardware is just into up to modern requirements - old modem means bad signal, old WiFi standard, really low RAM, very slow processor. The browser was barely usable even with an adblocker.

Sadly the Neo900 never got off the ground.

Unfortunately, neither Labour nor Conservatives are parties of liberty, although there are some individuals within both that see the importance.

I get what you mean, for it to be comparable I think we’d need a “should there be legislation to protect kids on the Internet” referendum and then this is the implementation and everyone hates it…

We very much did have a referendum on brexit though

We didn’t have a referendum on this though, and if we had done I don’t think it would have passed

Given recent revelations, more like he’d just assume that’s what he ordered and eat it.

You’re clearly being watched!

Glad to hear it!

Yes it is a product of those things, if you’re thinking about it then please see someone and work out a path to better mental health.

We only get one life, it would be a tragedy to waste it!

Two people close to me have gone from “normal” to suicidal and back again in the last 6 years, for different reasons and at different times. Thankfully they are both stable and enjoying their lives now.

If you’ve not witnessed anything like that, count yourself lucky. I remember talking to people about suicide when I was younger and couldn’t understand how anyone could get to that place until I saw someone I know really well go through a complete mental breakdown.

It does have a similar vibe to when Liz Truzz killed the Queen

Didn’t he send another cardinal to lecture Vance?

Exactly.

There are lots of people in this thread who aren’t familiar enough with how the UK system works (understandably, because it’s not a UK community). A lot of those people have jumped to the wrong conclusion.

It makes me wonder how often I get the wrong end of the stick when it comes to US/international politics etc.

Yeah it’s going to be a legal mess for a while and I do sympathise with people who are affected. Something for parliament(s) to sort out.

The courts in the UK are not politicised like in the US.

“Judges say the “concept of sex is binary” while cautioning that the landmark ruling should not be seen as victory of one side over another”

They interpret the law as it’s written (I.e. about sex, not gender), so to change this you would need a new law. It’s not supposed to be a moral judgement.

I think the short supply is due to bird flu, so not really

The sad thing is, this would be a completely hysterical thing to say like 10 years ago but now it’s a serious consideration.

Electing this dickhead once is a blip but doing it twice in a row indicates that the american voters actually want this, which is deeply troubling for Europeans (and the rest of the world).

They don’t even have to leave NATO formally, just undermine confidence in article 5 enough that it’s no longer a deterrent.

Agreed. And alternatives exist, like Kobo

Oof

He’d probably like today’s politics, it seems fashionable to just lean into anything bad someone says about you.
