There are several things I was doing in X-Org that I really don't have the capacity to figure out in Wayland. One of them was customizing touch pad shortcuts, I used to like having 3 figure swipe commands that worked like keyboard shortcuts. The other was my KVM programs like Barrier seems unable to work in Wayland.
I hope for simple solutions to these problems in the future.

This was honestly my last straw with AEW. I had felt for awhile that the variety early AEW had (Young Bucks indie, Lucha bros Lucha Libre, Omega DDT/NJPW influence, Mox's hardcore, Jericho/Cody's WWE influence) was done with a single unified vision, with everyone putting ego's aside to make something bigger then the sum of it's parts. An AEW roster that was so respectful that Brodie Lee's illness was never leaked to the press.
I honestly can't say that the reactionary AEW has me gripped like the early AEW that was interested in long form storytelling. And one with a roster so divided you can feel dissension within the roster. I don't want backstage drama to be the basis of ongoing storytelling, that's not an interesting story. I want to see the show working like a well oiled machine. It honestly makes me uncomfortable watching AEW as it is currently.
I thought AEW purpose was to change the wrestling industry not succumb to it.

It is misleading. It is 30% of the entire revenue of the game. And it is objective whether Valve deserves 30% of that revenue. It's also true that games aren't locked to the Steam platform and can absolutely make money outside of Valve's influence. History has shown though that it is less profitable then being inside the Steam ecosystem.

The efficiency is doing it so effectively that on an open platform competitors can create there own store, pay for AAA games to appear on their store, take the smallest of pay cuts, pass it on to the consumer, and still have customers prefer to pay more to be in the Steam ecosystem. I'm against monopolies but Valve's is absolutely efficient.

That has always been up in the air, certain functions of the building and it's link to the building has been designated a secret. It's not like the building itself is inconspicuous though.

The London community is quiet at the moment so I wouldn't mind moderating it myself for now, adversely I wouldn't mind taking on mod duties for other communities until such a time where that would become unmanageable. I appreciate the work being done by the way, I can very much feel a contrast now vs when Feddit UK was essentially unmaintained.

Thank you. I'm not the best with messing with CSS but I'll see what I can do. Realistically though I'll probably need assistance and I don't mind waiting till you have a good moment.

Looks like it been fixed up with a bit of trickery It's a shame as it didn't leave in that state it's just the journey wasn't particularly kind to it.
Hasn't this been a bit of a running trend now? I'm sure I'm having Déjà vu from it.

I do want to read articles that change my beliefs and I'm willing to listen to any take that goes against the wider narrative, but nothing that was said here really challenges anything being said on most tech news sites.
Yeah news sites might not always have full understanding of the semantics but the wider piont of Google's Manifest V3 restricting uBlock Origin capabilties and not offering an adequate solution is still very valid.

I believe Kuma's soul was moved into that giant Robot because Vegapunk didn't have it within himself to essentially kill Kuma. Giving Kuma an ancient Iron Giant's soul achieves the same effect and is more humane. Also makes scene why Kuma's current body just scaled the Red Line like the Iron Giant did in the past attacking Mary Geoise.

I love it, I had a Mastodon account but I've yet to find an instance I'd call a home. With Lemmy it just fell into place here, defined what the Fediverse even is to me and why having these different instances is important.

These opportunities will be 100% rent-free for brands, with a minimum reduction of business rates of 70%. Stores will either be available for single occupancy or as a themed concept store shared between multiple brands.

>Asked about his view of the controversy surrounding Mr Khan’s proposal to expand the ULEZ, Mr Livingstone said: “I would have started it - if I hadn’t lost to Boris, it would have been in operation for a decade. It’s going to save tens of thousands of lives. >“So many people die from air pollution in London. Boris, when he beat me, scrapped all my plans to tackle this because I was already working on it. >“And then in his eight years as Mayor, 76,000 Londoners died from air pollution. Fortunately, Sadiq Khan has taken that up now, and it’ll get better. But, that is our problem.” >He said: “I would be doing it if I was there. I just want a car free London, and everyone on the Tube and bus and the train.”
Have you or a loved one worked in the NHS as Staff or Volunteer? Had a life changing operation funded though the NHS? Positive or Negative experience with the NHS system? I have never lived outside the UK and can't say I've ever lived outside the right of free healthcare but hearing stories of individuals needing to fundraise their own surgery makes me realize I take for granted just how much peace of mind the NHS gives me. At the same token [several news reports](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/national-health-service-ap-britain-sajid-javid-rishi-sunak-b2369703.html) are suggesting that the NHS is [crumbling under it's own weight](https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/jul/03/locked-in-a-death-spiral-state-of-the-nhs-at-75) so it's possible it [may not reach 100](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-66087766). It's clear that the NHS as it is currently is not viable for it's own long term health. More will need to be done to keep the NHS publicly funded.

Since starting this community I created a RSS feed to find news that would be worth posting here and I'm interested in if there is any London focused news sites that would make a good addition to my list. So far I have: - BBC News London - The Guardian London - Metro - MyLondon - The Independent - London - Londonist - timeout.com Do you have any suggestions to add to this list? I'm interested in any news site that would have good content that would be great to post to this community.

Rough sleeping is soaring in London, with over 1,700 more people on the streets than last year – a 21% rise, according to figures from the Greater London Authority (GLA). The increase from 8,329 people seen sleeping rough in 2021-22 to 10,053 in 2022-23 was described as “categorically terrible” by Rick Henderson, the chief executive of the Homeless Link frontline charity, and “extremely alarming” by Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London.

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has insisted he has a mandate from Londoners to expand the city's ultra low emission zone (ULEZ) despite not including the move in his 2020 manifesto. In a clash with Conservative assembly members on the issue during Mayor's Question Time at City Hall this morning, (Thursday, June 22), Mr Khan was also accused of "rushing" the policy through before the next mayoral election in May 2024, and not wanting to give Londoners a say.

Croydon locals want to see the town’s most historic area reach its full potential. With buildings dating back to the 14th century, Croydon’s Old Town is steeped in history. At the heart of the Old Town sits the Croydon Minster, which is believed to have been founded in Saxon times and a church building on the site is referenced in the Doomsday Book. Six Archbishops of Canterbury are buried in the Minster and kings and queens were regular visitors to the archbishops at Croydon. Croydon Palace in Old Town was the summer residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury for more than 500 years. Some of these original buildings are now used by Old Palace School.

>London is home to hundreds of fish and chip shops, some better than others. But one, in particular, has been crowned London's best by TripAdvisor yet again. >Sitting at the very top of the site's ranking is The Golden Chippy. The Greenwich spot was opened in 2005, after Chris Kanizi arrived in London in 1977 to study medicine. He ended up an expert 'fish surgeon' instead, and since its opening, The Golden Chippy has become a local favourite. >Its reputation only grew after it was named London's best restaurant on TripAdvisor in 2016, beating the likes of Claridge's and The Ritz.
