United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Can an app decide if a language lives or dies? Not if Welsh speakers have anything to do with itEnglish
1·2 years agoWell Mark, you had the chance to back a welsh-made language learning app startup (made by a friend of mine) and passed them up so they’ve moved onto other things.
Don’t act surprised when an American language learning app decides to drop a relatively obscure language like Welsh.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Brexit has completely failed for UK, say clear majority of Britons – pollEnglish
203·2 years agoI voted remain and I’m not joking: push Brexit voters into the ocean.
It’d increase the country’s average IQ by at least 10 points and significantly reduce the number of racists and grifters in the country.
(Yes I know not everyone who voted for brexit was racist, but all racists voted for brexit)

Is there a problem with the immigration system and a large influx of migrants? Yes.
Do you need to use dehumanising language like “swarm” and “invasion” implying you’d stop refugees with a gaint can of Raid Insect Repellent? No.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•UK ‘in violation of international law’ over poverty levels, says UN envoyEnglish
7·2 years agoThe UN wasn’t set up to prevent atrocities like Palestine/Israel.
It was set up to prevent large multi-nation conflicts like WW1 and WW2 by providing a platform for dialogue & diplomacy between multiple countries WITH a standing army acting as a peacekeeping force.
Unfortunately, proxy conflicts like Israel/Palestine still occur.

Europe@feddit.de•Amsterdam sex workers protest against plan to move red light districtEnglish
777·2 years agoSpeaking as a British person,
If the problem is our dickheads going over there and ruining the vibe by harassing the locals, sex workers, and pissing everywhere I have a solution:
Turn the whole area into an LGBT area with Gay Bars and Drag Queens and send over a few of our police to coordinate on patrols with the Dutch police.
I’m serious, on a night out on Canal Street in Manchester there is almost no dickheads because:
-
They stay away from Gay Bars because of their own insecure masculinity even though Gay Clubs have better music.
-
The Drag Queens, most of whom act as front of house, ticketing, and head floor management DO NOT suffer fools and anyone harassing or being a knob will be ejected them from the premises quickly.
-
The GM police love working with the Drag Queens who stand outside the clubs trying to convince punters to go inside because they’re an active part of keeping the whole area safe by pointing out antisocial behaviour. Also when they don’t have a dickhead to deal with, they’re having a good chat.
Edit:
Also a belated apology on behalf of my fellow idiot countrymen. Also I’m of the opinion both sex work and recreational marijuana should be legalised and regualted in the UK. Hopefully that would also help with stemming the flow of idiot tourists abroad.

IMO it should be further than that.
Open source software is, more often than not, used as digital infrastructure.
Governments around the world should absolutely be investing in open source software and actively contributing to it.
