What an incredibly stupid move. quote:“we must work together to ensure that everyone is connected, and can get their TV and radio via the internet. This isn’t something to resist. A fully connected UK has very significant benefits for society and our economy. It would unleash huge opportunities for innovation”. Love to design a service based on the assumption that we will have 100% internet coverage, after the last time anything even remotely like that was offered it was compared to nationalising sausages.

If someone is in hospital I think they are in a bad enough way already and do not deserve to be subjected to television.

Yeah if I'm in hospital and have internet I might want to chat to my friends or family or watch some amusing videos or listen to light music but if I ever start voluntarily watching Bargain Hunt or Homes Under The Hammer please call the TBI team immediately.

Pretty funny bit in this https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/dec/07/uk-first-new-coalmine-for-30-years-gets-go-ahead-in-cumbriaquote:The vast majority of the coal produced will be for export, as most UK steel producers have rejected the use of the coal, which is high in sulphur and surplus to their needs. So a new mine producing coal which the UK doesn't want and Europe might well not. Sounds like a solid plan, lads. Given the majority owner is apparently a Cayman Islands private equity fund, I'm wondering precisely which MPs are getting rich from this.

This is basically meaningless other than a signifier of the overall direction of travel for broadcast media. BT just turned off my folks landline in exchange for what I guess is VoIP. At this point I'd wager most people with a landline in 2022 are older and less likely to have a mobile, like my mum. So a few weeks back when the power went out she had no way to contact the power company to find out when it was expected back on. Or for that matter if she had a fall or something while my dad was out she had no way to contact anyone like 999. Because now it has to plug in to the router, and obviously without power that's not on. Seems a loving stupid change to me

Thank Christ I managed to find a few more day’s supply by rooting through drawers, spongebags etc. But unless I can sort something out (or go down to half doses) I still run out in less than a fortnight.

Hey all, I remember there being a deluge of articles last Christmas about how Scrooge from a Christmas Carol is not that bad when you think about it. Like, dozens of them from the British press. Does anyone remember any/have any links? I am working on something and want to compile them. A phrase that sticks out in my head is somehing like "the frankly mediocre bob cratchit"

Most linear TV watching (you tune to a channel and watch a series of programmes that come on at set times) is already Boomers. Younger people mostly watch Netflix, iPlayer - or like Tictoc. Which already require the internet. We are close to it being a requirement for everyone already, over the like 20 year timeframe being talked about here and once the Boomers are dead it's fairly safe to assume everyone will already actually have to have it just like say electricity.

On the assumption that kite flying moving BBC to all online is going to cause mega complaining once the hoipolloi get to hear about it, and working on the assumption that 'they' know that, what is the real 'phew they've done something less bad' move they really want to make? In my block of flats only about 2 of 19 flats (including me) have internet. The TV is the main companion for several of the late 80/90 year olds in the block. So if it's not happening until 2030s that still means a lot of now - 70/80 somethings will be affected. And people in these age groups tend to watch a LOT of BBC. If it's just BBC, presumably all the channels I usually watch will still be on the satellite (hoping freesat sticks around for years to come!)
