If Starmer is found guilty, I think it's very likely that a snap GE will be called.

i've no idea if they'd actually do it, but the i guess the logic would be that Serious and Sensible starmer being exposed as a liar and rule-breaker would do him serious damage, whereas johnson could apparently rip a baby apart with his teeth on live tv and then just stare silently into the camera with blood dripping down his maw, and a good part of the electorate would go 'oh well that's not great, i don't like that he did it at all, but i suppose it's boris - he's just like that, i'm more focused on whether he can deliver on his promises'

Apparently a Labour source told a BBC correspondent they might lose their deposit in Tiverton and Honiton. I'm aware they'd apparently decided not to seriously campaign to give the Lib Dems a shot at the seat, but I wonder if coming in that low is going to have ramifications.

It's very funny that the Tory party basically ensured that they can't get rid of him for another full year. If that sort of swing got repeated (it won't but it's fun to imagine) they would lose 300+ seats.

One of the fun facts about asda is that their stock control system still runs on a greentext terminal, and over the years has simply had extra GUIs bolted onto the front of it. Except for the things that haven't and you still have to load up the old ascii based display to do some queries. Literally older than me.

Nice!

I''m trying to find this video I saw once where a guy compared an old as hell 90s system that stores still used and used keyboard only input and compared it to a modern GUI version to show just how much modern ux designs suck from actual user friendlyness.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

I had a summer job filing medical records and yeah, the DOS-y green screen with keyboard navigation was much better because you could just get the muscle memory of ‘tab tab enter, scan the files, tab tab tab enter done’. Mouse-driven GUIs are terrible for some things (and especially terrible for people who can’t use a mouse, but mostly they’re ignored…)

Whenever you look at the polls and wonder how on earth the Tories are still on 30%, it’s useful to watch Question Time to remember who the general public are.

Hi it's me, the person with RSI who hasn't been able to work for the last 15 or so years because the NHS custom entry system we were using didn't think tab orders were important, and I gave myself tendonitis going between the mouse & keyboard constantly.

Can't use a PC for more than an hour without exacerbating the pain, but the DWP doesn't think that's disabled enough to pay me anything! What a country!
