“FLICK OFF, CLINT”

There’s different numbers from different places, depending on if they’re just looking at full time only or including part time, employees or all incomes, and if they’re looking at individuals or households.

(All numbers below are approximate)

From a vague mish-mash of sources, in the UK, an individual income of about £80,000 (about £55,000 after Tax & National Insurance) puts you in the “top 5%” of earners. 95% of the country earns less than you. That may meet many people’s definition of rich.

About £100,000 per year is “top 2%” and it’s about £160,000 to be “top 1%” (those “one percenters” we used to talk about).

Where you consider “rich” to start is a matter of personal preference.

Many people use personal measures like “twice what I earn is rich”, regardless of how much they earn, so for example, an average person in the UK with an income of about £30,000 (~top 50%), may feel a £60,000 (top 7%) earner is “a rich, la-de-dah bastard”, whereas the £60,000 earner feels like they are “just about managing”, but feels that someone on £120,000 is “a poncey rich twat”.

I wonder though if Davey is thinking more of the “1% of the 1%” millionaires etc.

This is a great, well thought out post. Thank you :)

It says “paradise planet” on the marketing material, yes - but it only needs to be as true as the least true thing they ever told us :)

I don’t know about guest user stuff either actually - I might look into it at some point if I feel the need.

And yes, I’ve only ever used the “pin app” practically for letting young relatives play games and stuff on my phone, knowing they won’t be able to switch apps and send anyone a message - like the “Poo poo willy bum message” incident last year :)

Well yeah, if they really wanted to “get you” for something, I’m sure they’ll find a way - but it’s a good bare minimum for casual snooping - avoiding the awkwardness of someone accidentally swiping onto your Jerboa app and then you having to explain how “writing silly comments about guillotining billionaires and throwing right-wing politicians into the sea isn’t actually a serious terrorist threat, officer”.

Especially for Northern, who like to force 450 people onto a 2 carriage, 140 capacity Sprinter every weekday near 5pm.

It won’t solve the above, but may be useful information for cases like this:

If you’re not aware already, you can “pin” an Android app to lock it to the screen, so nobody can easily switch to another app without using your login pin/code/pattern.

Firstly, to turn it on, you need to go to Settings>Security & Privacy>Other Security Settings and switch on “Pin App”. The location of this setting may be different depending on the manufacturer of your mobile phone.

Then, to lock a particular app to the screen, press the three-lines button (maybe a square on your telephone?) to open up the program switcher, then press the circular thumbnail of the icon at the top of the screen, to open up the menu you didn’t know existed, and select “pin this app”.

Without your password or login pattern, your telephone will only show the currently open app. Nobody can switch to other programs or mess with other stuff without unlocking the phone.

To unlock it afterwards, you then hold the < and the three lines buttons for a few seconds, then enter your normal login code/pin/pattern to unlock. It will tell you this when you lock it.

… and when it asks what language, it doesn’t differentiate between English and American Englishes, for example, and you have to scroll down quite a long way to get shown Feddit.uk.

Sometimes you just want to know everyone’s on the same page when you talk about biscuits, pants and fannies.

Ah, thanks - Is it deliberate to not have any controls on it? (I’ve never used Tick Tock).

I didn’t see it before, but I can see it perfectly now.

Thank you :)

Ah, if I long-press on the video, I can open just the video in a new tab, which goes to this link (loopusercontent.com MP4 video) which gives you a proper navigation bar, duration, fullscreen etc.

It’s 54 seconds long.

Video looks great - nicely executed “breaking the fourth wall” type of thing, but the video player seems broken - all the controls and navigation bar are missing (it only pauses/plays when you touch the screen) - so no idea if the video is half an hour long or two minutes or whatever.

The invention of Racism is often credited to Scottish inventor Alexander Graham Racism - though it’s generally now considered that German inventor Johann Philipp Reisism had a practical example of Racism fifteen years earlier.

Little pockets of Britishness spread amongst the Fediverse, like a new, friendlier, British Empire :)

Do tell us if you (or other Fedditors) set up any other UK Fediverse bits. You all seem like trustworthy sorts :)

I imagine cleaning up after “beep beep chair” Captain Pike wasn’t a popular job either.

Bitty! Bitty is one of my favourite cats-that-aren’t-my-cats :)

Lemmy user says anyone who doesn’t quit being CEO of Meta is ‘guillotine signaling’

The basics are pretty self-explanatory to Britons, but:

• Which type of beans is it?
• Does it have to have a tomato sauce?
• Did you know you can put melted cheese on it?
• Did you know that beans were good for your heart, but the more you eat, the more you fart?
• How many servings are made per year?
• If you put all those servings end-to-end, how far would it go?
• Okay, but what’s that in double-decker buses or olympic swimming pools?
• Does anyone outside the UK eat it, or similar meals?
• Who invented it? Where?
• Did you know that in London, they don’t have bread, so they have beans on eels instead? (citation needed)

Plenty of info/questions/facts to be found.
