Why Britain is the world’s worst on homelessness
  • Until we:

    • Ban buy-to-let mortgages.
    • Ban landlords from owning multiple houses.
    • Invest into social housing and ban so-called "affordable housing" lettings.

    We'll continue to be stuck in this downward spiral.

    The problem is, everyone in power is a landlord or otherwise benefits from the current system, so nothing changes and we continue circling the drain as a society.

  • Anime Rule
  • I felt a little let down when I saw Angel Beats, to be honest. I really enjoyed the ending, and a few plot points here and there, but it felt like they had too much content for a 1-cour show and not enough for a 2-cour, so it ended up feeling a bit rushed, jerking between comedy and tragedy.

    Though I think my issue was expecting it to live up to the heights set by Clannad, the eternal final boss of cry-porn. Clannad drained me in a way I didn't think was possible, and rewatches of key scenes STILL destroy me years later. I can't go near wheat fields anymore. 11/10, would have multiple breakdowns while contemplating the value of family, again.

  • Hakase a best rule
  • The 4-panel comic features Nano Shinonome, a robot girl from the anime Nichijou, leaving a positive message on 4-chan about Hakase (professor), an 8-year-old genius who invented and built her. Being a robot, she feels she can't morally click the captcha to show she's not a robot, and is therefore unable to post the message, despite that she wouldn't be considered a robot in this context.

  • Army chief says people of UK are ‘prewar generation’ who must be ready to fight Russia
  • This is forgetting, of course, that Russia has enough nuclear weapons to wipe the UK off the face of the earth before we even land the first troops on Russian soil.

    With that in mind, I guess he's insinuating we're going to be embroiled in yet another proxy war in the not-too-distant future. I can't wait to find out which poor country is going to get screwed over for the next 20 years in the name of "freedom", only for us to give up and let everything slide back into an even worse state yet again, because Afghanistan and Iraq taught us nothing in that regard.

  • Discord lays off 170 people, blames growing too quickly | TechCrunch
  • How the fuck does a chat program justify a workforce of one thousand employees in the first place?! How do they expect to ever get in the green when they're spending that much money on staff?

    Is their entire business model to just endlessly pull in V.C. money and "grow" until they can't get investors on board anymore? Actually, don't answer that one, I assume that's how almost every tech company works these days, and at some point it's all going to crash.

  • 'My Hero Academia' Season 7 Key Visual
  • Nah, the final arc is huge, far too long for even a 2 cour season, and there's still a mini arc before that to tie up a loose end from season 3. Plus, I doubt they've storyboarded any of the unreleased chapters yet. At a guess I'd expect this to be 13 eps, then a couple more years wait, then a 2-cour season and finally a tie-in movie to finish. That being said we still don't know how many chapters remain so it could go on longer than that.

  • Tower of God Season 2 | ANNOUNCEMENT TRAILER
  • I think it's because they changed the story a little from the source material to more neatly fit it into the format they needed for Season 1. To some people familiar with the source material, that's heresy and absolutely destroyed the story. As a fellow anime-only, however, I felt the story was perfectly fine as it was told and I'm looking forward to seeing where they take it next season.

    After all, it's not like they pulled a God of High School on us.

  • AI one-percenters seizing power forever is the real doomsday scenario, warns AI godfather
  • That's great. Now try training that model on a 4080 and you'll see it'll take significantly longer. Try amassing the data needed for training on your home PC and see how much longer beyond that which you'll need. There's a reason the current race is down to just a few companies, it costs pennies to run queries on an existing model, millions to build and train that model in the first place.

  • That, from the perspective of Taiwan (aka the Republic of China) mainland China (aka People's Republic of China) to it's west is an illegitimate government that lays claim to lands still claimed by the RoC from before the revolution.

  • Former soldier searched Google, Reddit for spying tips, prosecutors say — Investigators say they found a document on the man's computer titled: “Important Information to Share with Chinese Governme...
  • Ah, there it is. Say it louder for those at 99 IQ in the back that you're lumping in with this guy. That is, if you think they're even smart enough to be able to understand you in the first place.

    And it wasn't a question you posed at all- it was a generalised statement that you consider half the population to be "dumb", which, in a roundabout way, is where I've been going with this.

    Edit: I see Lemmy is exactly the same as Reddit - full of so-called intellectuals that think of themselves as better then the average person, and that intellect is the sole barometer of usefulness in society. Keep downvoting me while thinking yourselves superior, fucking cowards.
