    Type: Statutory corporation with a royal charter

    A statutory corporation is a government entity created as a statutory body by statute.

    It doesn’t matter what language you try to couch it in, “state funded”, “editorial independence”, whatever. It was founded by the state, is funded by the state, and is a government entity. If it quacks like a duck.

    and reliable reporting as you can get outside the BBC

    “Russian state owned media bad. British state owned media good.”

    I guess you’re just assuming it’s bad based on its name

    No, we know it’s bad because it’s literally run by the US government.













  • Hi, I’m a dev from hexbear and it looks like my first UI changes (relating to post listings) were included in this release.

    Here are the changes I made:

    • Expanded image and body now show below the rest of the listing.
      • And also offset to not be under the votes and thumbnail.
    • Post title doesn’t jump to a new line when you expand the image.
    • Thumbnail doesn’t disappear when you expand the image.
      • Does not apply on mobile since things don’t jump around as much.
    • Clicking expanded image opens the original in a new tab.
      • Does not apply on mobile since you can just long press.
      • Instead tapping the image closes it.
    • pictrs images now prefer the original format over jpg.
    • Rendering split into many functions to improve readability.
    • Post actions are now on the same line as the comments button.
    • Post actions now show on mobile.
    • Comments button made larger.
    • Expanding or contracting an image now expands or contracts the body.

    I’d love to hear any feedback or ideas anyone here may have.
