politics @lemmy.world•How elderly dementia patients are unwittingly fueling political campaignsEnglish
1·1 year agoUnrelated to US politics, but I genuinely worry about how social media is fucking over the older generations.
My mother in law is 76, and only gets her news from Facebook these days. On Saturday she told me that Sadiq Khan, the London Mayor, has been voted out during the week. Fuck knows where she got that from because it’s just not true. She doesn’t even live in London, but he’s a demon to the kind of ‘news’ sources she’ll read because he’s a lefty who does lefty things.
It’s mad.
And some of us are blessed with producing more shit than others.

Technology@lemmy.world•iPhones in the EU get ability to set more default apps, delete more built-in onesEnglish
0·2 years agoI was in Corfu last week when the news of the Epic store came about, so tried to install it on my UK registered iPhone. All I got was a notification telling me that my phone isn’t eligible.
So yeah, no Fortnite in my phone for me. Not that I really care about that, I just like fiddling with shit.
One of the nice touches in The Last Of Us was Ellie finding pads when they were in a shop.

1·2 years agoI think that a good chunk of Apple’s GPTK is based on the work that CodeWeavers have done, which has made me tempted to shell out for Crossover too. £60 is a fair old chunk just to play games on my Mac though.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Daniel Khalife pleads not guilty to escaping custody at Wandsworth prisonEnglish
0·2 years agoIt’s like obviously guilty people appealing their sentence: they have a right to do so and as such their solicitor will recommend that they do it. There’s almost no chance of them getting their sentence overturned or reduced, but you don’t ask, you don’t get.




We almost went six months without hearing of yet another way that LTT are shitty.
