Jaeluni Asjil posted:It's like the 1970s all over again. It's a feature that's been built into phones and radio access networks since GSM, it just needs a little bit of back-end work to integrate with the providers. It's *effectively* just an SMS sent to everyone connected to a particular mast or set of masts, I assume it's a little trickier to set up in the UK because we have 4 independent radio networks and a huge amount of micro- and picocells so properly targeting it regionally might be tricky, although probably doable if you stick to the city/county level.

mediaphage posted:the us and canada also sends out regional AMBER alerts on the emergency notification system when a child is abducted Well regional isn't exactly true since they decided to not geolocate amber alerts. So because Canada deliberately decided to only use the highest level of alert for everything, if there's an Amber Alert 14 hours away at 1am you get the same alarm as if a nuclear missile was incoming. So nobody pays attention to them anymore.

Liverpool's £1 houses experiment. To qualify you had to live and work in Liverpool, bring them up to decent standard within 12 months and not sell for 5 years. Over 100 houses were included in the scheme. https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/life-liverpools-1-houses-went-23206941 quote:Life in Liverpool's £1 houses that went from derelict terraces to family homes

Even when you've got an article literally stating that it was the Tories that withdrew funding for the homes to be demolished and rebuilt, there's a brown-noser trying to blame someone - anyone - else.

I've seen so many comments similar to this in the last few weeks blaming the EU or Labour for things that are done entirely by the tories. How on earth do we counteract this complete ignorance (not meant in a pejorative sense but in the literal sense)?

Jaeluni Asjil posted:That wasn't there when I posted it, LOL. I suspect a lot of it is just bullshittery, i.e. trolling. Otherwise... well, you don't. The Tories are making life increasingly hard for younger voters, so the best move really is to try to make your case to younger voters who will hopefully take an anti-Tory voting stance into the next couple of decades of General Elections. The other approach is to look at where funding comes from. The Tories have actually done a really good job of devolving responsibility for their spending cuts by firstly giving the money they're about to cut to local government. This has given them a very handy degree of separation from the impact of their spending cuts. Mr gently caress-the-EU blames the Labour council for cutting the number of bin collections, but the council did this because the Tories cut the amount they give to local government by 40%, and local councils have a very limited number of ways they can raise income. The most equitable is probably parking fines, but that just results in rage from all quarters, so cuts to local services it is. There is scope for you to make some inroads with this argument, but it does rely on the person you're discussing it with not being a complete moron. Which, well, this is the UK after all...

mediaphage posted:the us and canada also sends out regional AMBER alerts on the emergency notification system when a child is abducted Yeah these are a pain in the arse. I think they send them out province-wide for any child abduction and of course, each of the provinces is bigger than the UK. I'm in Ontario which is like 2000km wide so 99% of the alerts we get (which often seem to happen at like 3am) are for miles and miles away. They make your phone make a loud horrible siren noise that freaks my cats out if it's not muted, or do the max-strength big vibrate thingy if it is. Cause we're on the border with Quebec we sometimes get ones in French if we're connected to one of their masts, too. Also it seems like most child abductions are like, one parent has taken the child away without telling the other parent. Also they're usually saying like "Look for them in a [vehicle description], license plate ABC123" but sometimes they literally don't even have that, or even a description of the person or child so like... what are you supposed to be looking for? ... That said, I did receive a genuinely useful one telling me I was possibly about to be merked by a tornado. I wasn't, of course, but there was a big tornado in 2018 like 6 months before we moved here that destroyed a load of stuff. I didn't know when I bought my new house here but we have this huge tree in the front garden, it's about 20m tall (like twice as tall as my house). Well apparently there were two of them before the tornado. The other one fell over into the road, and the city gave the previous owner 24 hours to remove it or get some huge fines, so he got a bunch of people who lived on the street to help him chop it to bits with chainsaws.

I've been browsing through the Ukraine news today and it's striking just how bad it all is. I've searched in vain through all the bullshit of strident comment pieces, breathless announcements that Russian vodka is being withdrawn from sale, thinkpieces about whether Putin is a Stalin or a Hitler and feel good stories about Ukrainian grannies shooting down helicopters with catapults and nowhere can I find the most basic news about the actual military situation i.e what main detachments are operating in the region and what's going on with them. Reading between the lines, it sounds very much like Ukraine's central military command has disintegrated and their soldiers are fighting in small, local formations while the Russians roam the countryside at will... was the Iraq invasion reporting as useless as this, I can't think back to it.

Yeah the absolute last thing you should do to help the ukrainians is publish information on the fighting beyond russians getting occasionally dunked. It is a very good thing that ukrainian opsec has been as good as it has and dipshit journos have refrained for publishing their force disposition for a story.

It is a very good thing that ukrainian opsec has been as good as it has and dipshit journos have refrained for publishing their force disposition for a story. Unlike most wars in recent memory, "our" side is actually in the right and so doesn't need a constant stream of positive PR so doesn't feel the need to have Geraldo Rivera in a tank. Also of course "our" side isn't just taking potshots from hundreds of miles away so security is actually a thing that can change the course of the war. Doesn't help that journalists have completely forgotten how to do anything that isn't copying and pasting from official sources - there's not even a Martin Bell out there with a camera crew trying to get images of the fighting (and getting shot because wearing an Our Man In Havana white suit in an active warzone is a loving stupid idea).

Well that and Russia is doing this so poorly you dont even need propaganda to spin it. Russia is literally sending unsupported tank coloums full of their special forces into obvious ambushes and getting them blown up. I genuinely Putin has been sat huffing his farts for too long and accidently believed all the propoganda and disinformation his regime was putting out and actually believed Ukraine would instantly surrender and all the civies would be waving little russian flags to celebrate the russians restoring freedom to Ukraine.

This doesn’t tally with the general view, which is that the professional Ukrainian army (roughly 300,000 troops) is doing a good job of maintaining opsec and is getting a *lot* of intelligence and logistical support from NATO. Russian material is getting taken out by drones and anti-tank missiles (the UK has uncharacteristically given a couple of thousand extremely effective modern portable launchers - NLAWs) not grannies. Although the grannies have been issued AKs.
