Yeah, Tories were never centre, but they were closer to that than in recent years where they’ve been steadily cruising over to the far right.

The Lib Dems described themselves as centre (or filling that space), but I can’t find the article right now. I’d also say more centre-left.

The Lib Dems are looking to move into the centrist space vacated by the Tories. They are relishing the Tories moving so far right they aren’t in the picture anymore.

BUN!

Duktape is used by NetSurf, but the JS implementation (in NetSurf) is incomplete - specifically there’s no dynamic layout engine so a lot of stuff doesn’t work.

I certainly started late with gamepads. Through most of my gaming years it was a combination of keyboard and joystick (and later mouse). I didn’t have consoles until the Wii, but I did get the Pro Controller after a while and got on ok with it.

This is a good one 👍

How was this pulled off? Here are the theories From CNN’s Christian Edwards

Experts have shared two competing theories as to how hundreds of pagers could have exploded simultaneously.

One theory is that there was a cybersecurity breach, causing the pagers’ lithium batteries to overheat and detonate.

Another is that this was a “supply chain attack,” where the pagers were tampered with during the manufacturing and shipping process.

David Kennedy, a former US National Security Agency intelligence analyst, told CNN that the explosions seen in videos shared online appear to be “too large for this to be a remote and direct hack that would overload the pager and cause a lithium battery explosion.”

Kennedy said he found the second theory to be more plausible.

“It’s more likely that Israel had human operatives… in Hezbollah… The pagers would have been implanted with explosives and likely only to detonate when a certain message was received,” he said.

“The complexity needed to pull this off is incredible. It would have required many different intelligence components and execution. Human intelligence (HUMINT) would be the main method used to pull this off, along with intercepting the supply chain in order to make modifications to the pagers,” he added.

Yeah, we need electoral reform first 🙁

Thanks, that should do the job!

Took me a little while to find it as the brushes needed swiping to get the block on screen - it didn’t look like there were any extras.

This is nice! I’ve replaced some little tools with this. What it can’t seem to do though is pixelate a specified area of an image, unless I’ve missed how to do that? It only seems to do the whole image.

Not really. Only the odd thing on a brand’s app, which isn’t really comparable.

Home Assistant. I only installed it to help me control my solar/battery but I ended up putting other things on it and fell down a rabbit hole.

Ha ha, yeah, I forgot the photo would have needed to be taken!

Somebody’s been recording home movies!

It looks a bit too defined to be a mountain peak, although it seems a logical suggestion. Anyway, I enjoyed this bit:

In July retired chef Richard Grieve said that he had worked with the two hikers who took the Calvine pictures at a hotel in Calvine, and that a few days after the sighting a “dark car” allegedly pulled up and two people dressed in black suits emerged, to have a “chat” with the two men.

He recalled that they were “visibly shaken” by the approach and their behaviour changed with them often not turning up for work and one began drinking heavily.

Yep, it’s a PITA to parse and get the values you want. Much prefer JSON. Recently when I needed to parse XML I ran it through an XML to JSON library. Much easier!

If you need to parse XML just for RSS though, it isn’t so bad as there are RSS specific libraries which take most of the pain away.

I can only assume you’ve never tried to parse or read XML.

I don’t know what it is but it’s not an iPad. It’s probably a notebook.

Hmm, I think that’s slightly better actually. Thanks for looking at it!
