wewbull@feddit.ukto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•NHS in England told to slash recruitment of overseas-trained medicsEnglish61·5 days agoDumb.
The problem isn’t that they come from overseas to get trained, it’s that they got back overseas after they are trained.
Other than that, if you want to rebalance the intake, raise the UK intake. Don’t slash the non-UK intake.
wewbull@feddit.ukto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Calls to clean up England’s ‘toxic air’ as GP visits for asthma attacks rise 45%English3·8 days agoInteresting that asthma attacks are up so sharply, but I’m unconvinced it’s down to “Toxic air”. Generally things seem to be on a improving trend, so getting a 45% increase in health issues would suggest something else at play.

Days with ‘Moderate’ or higher air pollution
-
There were on average 6 days of ‘Moderate’ or higher pollution at urban pollution monitoring sites in 2024, down from 9 days in 2023.
-
The number of days with ‘Moderate’ or higher air pollution at rural monitoring sites peaked in 2018. Levels have fluctuated since then, with noticeable drops in 2021 and 2024, when the number of days with ‘Moderate’ or higher air pollution fell to the lowest level since 2016.
-
Since 2015 the mean number of days of ‘Moderate’ or higher pollution has been higher at rural sites than urban sites due to ozone pollution. There were on average fewer days of ‘Moderate’ or higher pollution at rural pollution monitoring sites in 2024 compared with 2023 (19 days in 2023, 11 days in 2024).
-
In 2024, as in previous years, ozone was responsible for a large proportion of the ‘Moderate’ or higher pollution days at rural sites. The increase in ozone pollution in most years since 2018 was in part due to the prolonged hot and sunny conditions experienced in the UK in the summer of these years.

wewbull@feddit.ukto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•‘Heads will roll’: BBC reckons with bias accusations over Israel and Palestine coverageEnglish61·8 days agoTop tip: When you quote someone don’t cut off “…not as a way to…” at the start of a quote.
I’m doing this not as a way of bringing you out of your obvious delusion but to highlight it for people reading later.
wewbull@feddit.ukto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Government to ban Palestine Action, home secretary confirmsEnglish1·13 days agoOk… …a blanket ban on a set of protestors.
What’s the legal criteria to say somebody is a member of an organisation like this? Do they have to have a membership card to be banned from protests? It’s poorly defined and easily becomes anybody who turns up at a pro-palestinian protest. At that point you have banned protests on the subject.
Hold individuals accountable for their actions. Don’t police people’s views or their desire to express them.
wewbull@feddit.ukto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Government to ban Palestine Action, home secretary confirmsEnglish2·13 days agoTaking targeted action at those who perpetrated the sabotage would be my preference, rather than blanket bans on a protestors. This is the wrong way to solve the problem.
wewbull@feddit.ukto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Armed Forces Minister refuses seven times to say whether UK backs US military action in IranEnglish113·15 days agoHe’s a member of the cabinet and so should know the government position. He can also state if UK forces acted in any part of the operation (e.g. refilling).
The decision may not be his but he should be enacting the effect of the decision. It’s absolutely reasonable to ask him.
https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Manjaro:A_Different_Kind_of_Beast
Although Manjaro is Arch-based and Arch compatible, it is not Arch.
Manjaro package repository
Stable branch - There is no solid rule indicating when Stable branch is snapped from testing. It can be anything from one to four weeks…
Testing branch - Testing branch is snapped from unstable at irregular intervals - …
Unstable branch - Unstable branch is synced several times daily from Arch stable
Manjaro Unstable is Arch Stable
wewbull@feddit.ukto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•All babies in England to get DNA test to assess risk of diseases within 10 yearsEnglish6·16 days agoI’m sure it would be very useful. Doesn’t mean I want ANYBODY having that kind of information.
wewbull@feddit.ukto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•All babies in England to get DNA test to assess risk of diseases within 10 yearsEnglish5·16 days agoIt should not remain in the NHS in my opinion. It should be deleted after the analysis is done.
I would expect Steam to report Steam OS as Steam OS.
They managed to differentiate Manjaro to it’s own entry after all. It’s Arch based too.
I’m quite impressed Arch comes out on top

wewbull@feddit.ukto Linux@lemmy.ml•Just wanted to show off the lowest end hardware I ever ran Linux onEnglish2·19 days agoMone might even had been a Cyrix too. Honestly I struggle to remember. My dad bought straight Intels and I bought the clones (cheaper) I can’t remember which one I first started on, but both got it eventually.

wewbull@feddit.ukto Linux@lemmy.ml•Just wanted to show off the lowest end hardware I ever ran Linux onEnglish681·22 days agoI think my lowest was a 33 MHz 486sx (maybe DX) with 8MB of RAM.
I wouldn’t want to try it today though.
wewbull@feddit.ukto Linux@lemmy.ml•why didnt Enlightenment desktop recieve much adoptionEnglish7·22 days agoWhen it was first developed it was too heavyweight and too customisable. The effort needed to theme it was huge and a lot of the popular themes were poor from a UX point of view.
Still E16 was usable, and then the development of E17 started about 24 years ago. People are still on E16 you say?
A better way to say that (more accurate) is that abusers often learnt “how” through personal experience.
The key point is not to look at someone who has been abused and think that they are likely going to become an abuser.
