@SarahForRuncorn I worship my local independent pizza restaurant. Happy to hear you support them not paying VAT.

Reform UK will end Labour’s spiteful VAT raid on our churches.
It is about time Keir Starmer put our national religion first and stopped this kind of cultural vandalism.
Reform UK has been clear. This unfair tax on places of worship must go.

@TheRealRolfster @PolitlcsUK Do you know something the planners don’t?
They’ve specified it’s not exclusively for balancing, but that’s a key function. No doubt it’ll be sized to provide a few hours of output, but that’s all TBC.

@roebuk @PolitlcsUK The battery is for balancing only, not meeting demand. Long duration grid scale storage using batteries is not economically feasible.

🚨 NEW: The Government has approved the UK's largest solar farm, Springwell, in Lincolnshire
It can produce up to 800MW of electricity, powering over 180,000 homes
English
@TheRealRolfster @PolitlcsUK Did you read the article?
Whilst I couldn’t find a reference as to the size, a battery storage facility will also be installed at Springwell.
English
Except at night, when it powers precisely zero homes.
We will need to retain gas backup for this white elephant meaning doubling up on infrastructure. It also means the gas plant is used intermittently and less efficiently further increasing costs.
Is there any wonder we have the highest electricity prices in the world?

“Young people haven’t paid in.”
Absolute rubbish.
Young people today are paying more than ever, higher taxes, higher rents, less job security and unaffordable housing.
And the triple lock? It’s not paid for. It’s debt.
So young people will pay for it now, and will pay again later.
The message is clear. Young people are yet again expected to foot the bill.

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage formally commits to the state pension triple lock if Reform UK win the next election "The people to whom pensions are being paid, certainly compared to a younger generation today, are those who have actually worked and paid into the system"

So credible, they can't spell it.

Shoutout to @djsmith42 and @jamison_dance for approaching 500 episodes and 10 years of @SoftSkillsEng! Incredible work! I've listened to every episode since the beginning and it's a delight of great advice. Next episode is 500 and (no pressure guys) but I expect a celebration!

@cooperx86 Let’s hope there’s no bugs or Chris will forever be jetting off.

SaaS providers that 2-4x their prices for no good reason are playing with fire in this era. Now we have a custom employee holiday booking system.

@roebuk @BurnedChris hey, do you think if we all bicker at each other more often it'll juice us up in the X algorithm?
English
We are moving from an API-first world to a CLI-first world.
English
@cooperx86 @BurnedChris Certainly not an API. That’d be blasphemous in the world we’re moving to!
English
@DCJM14 Good morning. When you change a booking, you'll need to pay the admin fee as well as any difference in price between your original booking and the new one.

can someone please mansplain to why me this is a good piece of meat in a way that would excite a woman

@dasukocho This reply shows how uneducated you are on the subject.
In theory, it makes sense but livestock eat the vast majority of the food grown. Oxford has the largest study on global farm usage, its well worth your time.

@STOPHEATHERTIME @BigTizzy45 @MissSassbox And thus contribute to monocropping and fueling the same industries you're against because that's how green capitalism works.

@DouglasCarswell Then, assuming it’s an open standard - it’ll gain adoption.
Remember the proprietary pain?

What happens if someone builds a better cable?
European Commission@EU_Commission
One port, one cable, one Europe. This holiday, unwrap the power of one: USB-C for all. Yes, not just phones, tablets, and laptops. In three years, every charger will be under the same tree. Because less waste, smarter choices, mean more for everyone, all year long. link.europa.eu/QDMFTh

@cooperx86 @wesbos *knock knock*
Good evening, sir.
Do you have a few moments to talk about Omarchy?

@wesbos I'm putting off buying a new MacBook Pro because I want to avoid the s*** show that is macOS Tahoe until they do a few more point releases 😂

What the HECK is going on with tech?
In the last week: Multiple cloud outages, x DMs totally broken, antigravity doesn't work, my watch is showing me 15 year old cal events, mac OS is a mess, email is spammed to hell and every nerd on here is talking like new AI is the second coming

@TechDialectic @tomwarren I upgraded from APP1s.
The bass has clearly been improved, the ANC is far superior, the fit is also more secure (although I’ve yet to work out in them)
English
@tomwarren How does the soundquality compare to 1 or 2 ?
And the ANC? +10%?
English
I got the AirPods Pro 3 and the case feels SO much lighter. I keep thinking I forgot to put the AirPods in there 😅 they also have a much better fit in my ears, so no more wriggling out. The ANC and sound quality improvements are a lot more subtle, though
