In my experience (as a Brit), people generally only refer to Americans as Yanks in a mildly pejorative way or if we’re taking the piss, otherwise it’s Americans.
AlpacaChariot@lemmy.worldto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•"It seems likely Elon Musk has lost over half of the UK twitter daily audience by now"English1·6 months agoI agree it’s improbable, I wouldn’t be surprised if it has accelerated though as Musk has been becoming increasingly obnoxious in UK and European politics. I’m sure there’s something like a 30% floor of people who actually like his shit.

Like others have said, you’d only need it for about 1 week per year, so why bother?
AlpacaChariot@lemmy.worldto UK Politics@feddit.uk•Advisers urged Tony Blair to rein in George W Bush over Iraq war ‘mission from God’English19·6 months agoThey should have asked someone who wasn’t also deluded. Blair prayed to god over Iraq, and said that god made the decision to go to war as well as him.
That’s a pretty toxic joke dude
It’s not possible for that to happen in the UK without a further bill in Parliament. I believe in Canada the law has changed as a result of decisions by the courts.

Was it that the PDF produced by latex was less OCR friendly than the word one, or just that you didn’t submit the PDF at all most of the time?
I guess if you trained a program to OCR PDFs that are produced by word it might get really good at that and less good at PDFs from other sources.
I’m curious if your CV font was computer modern?

AlpacaChariot@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•One new, one broken, one beta, more updates | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App RepositoryEnglish13·1 year agoAuto updates works really well for me so far!
I’ve wanted this for years; in the past manually flashing the privileged extension after every system update was such a pain that I quickly gave up on it.
Wouldn’t this be quite slow to transmit messages? When you send email between federated servers your mail goes in a queue on your server to be sent and depending on the connection speed and how busy it is you could easily wait 5 minutes before it’s delivered at the other end. Not that the messages caused by this app would be big enough to slow things down a lot, but if the server you are using is also being used to send normal emails with large attachments then you could end up waiting a while.
