Mr Tang said: “Typically broadband customers will pay for 13 months in a year rather than 12, thanks to inflation linked mid-contract price rises.
Zen has never done this in its 28 years of trading.
Sure about that? My broadband just went up by a quid. It’s not a lot, and it’s mostly thanks to upstream costing, but come on. Don’t fuck around with blatant lies.
I’d still go with Zen like. Can’t beat user-configurable rDNS.
I’ve just bought a new-to-me Xperia 10 V. It took me a while, but I managed to root the device, forcibly remove the bloat I didn’t want, and apply some system tweaks....
Can’t say I’ve ever had an experience like this. Never had a bother with not getting the cut I want either. Is Collins half yank or something? This shite looks like the sort of thing an American attempting to ingratiate themselves would vomit out.
Not hard to keep to the same policy we had in the 00’s. Off or silent, and it doesn’t come out in lessons. If it does, it goes in the teacher’s desk, and they get it back half an hour after school ends. Job done.
I’m relatively new to this whole Newcastle metro business, and I have only ever used paper tickets and PAYG. I’ve been considering getting a season ticket (Pop card), and I wasn’t sure whether I should tap in and out with a season ticket, since there’s no balance to change. I looked it up on the Nexus website, and it...

You’ll have to ask the fella on reddit, I’m just crossposting the interesting bits from there at the moment. I think he’s done with refinements now though
I’m currently using a VM to run Visual Studio on Fedora. Because I want easy access to both systems at once, without having to minimise a VM or use hotkeys to access the host system, I require a VM solution that has “seamless” integration - I.E hiding the virtual desktop, and running applications in the VM as though they...
Detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command have now concluded their assessment and have determined there is no information to indicate that a criminal offence has been committed.
That says to me that either:
The young person involved voluntarily sent images of themself to Edwards, and he either did not respond to them, or responded passively or properly
The young person involved was solicited for messages, but no evidence to support this remains
This entire thing is a cockamamie bullshit piece dreamed up by a set of parents who are Very Angry that their son is gay, and decided to take things to the press to hit back at him for asserting his sexuality.
There is, of course, the matter of the second allegation - but copycat cases also exist, and it is hard to say whether or not the Met’s statement covers both allegations or merely the first.
It does confuse me, somewhat, that Edwards voluntarily offered his identity to the public. He was potentially entirely in the clear after the police statement, so he may either be considering the public interest angle (given he has worked in newscasting for a very long time), is attempting to curry public favour, or maybe just thinks its the right thing to do.
Problem with his revelation is the possibility of it being traced to the young person. It obviously sounds as though they want to remain anonymous and private - what are the chances of that happening now?
In !newcastleupontyne we have a list of other UK communities in the sidebar.

kbin.social seems to have a bit of bother when it comes to permitting other instances from accessing its activitypub feed. Unless I'm doing something wrong?
On opening a new tab or window with a lemmy instance, I frequently find that I am not intially logged in. I am logged in, and refreshing the page a few times affirms this. It does not necessarily require a cacheless refresh (ctrl+f5). It also occurs regardless of what lemmy instance I’m browsing.
This started immediately after the hackening event of the other day. I’ll play with what’s in site storage in firefox later on and see what happens.
Edit: Ok something very odd just happened. I did the refresh thing and it briefly showed me logged in as @andybug, for reasons unknown. It didn’t stay logged in as (s)he, but very briefly flashed it as such.
Edit2: I deleted cache, webtoken, and other detritus in firefox, and refreshed the page to login again. I logged in, and the site served me the logged-out homepage until I refreshed again. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Edit3: I was logged out completely this morning. No explanation as to why as yet, I’ll test tomorrow and see what browser storage looks like
It occurs specifically when I navigate to a community page, without visiting the homepage first. If I navigate specifically to, for example, lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld, I’ll be logged out. However, if I visit lemmy.world and then visit lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld, I’ll be logged in.
I wonder if this is a bug with SameSite in the JWT? Reddit’s token, for example, has a value of None, where Lemmy’s has a value of Strict. I’ve changed that to None for the moment, we’ll see if that changes anything
