I turn it off.
It makes little difference to power consumption and distorts the image balance.
Surely BBC R&D can tell you that. They had smart people when I worked in the BBC.
Also I use a 6W sat box, FM TX (sold for phone/mp3 to car radio) and FM Radio for non-local stations. Lower power than many DAB (turned off May 2021 in Ireland).
No-one I know uses TV to listen to Radio, though a £10 USB DVB-T stick can work on laptop or Android.
The best way to improve energy use in the longer term - is for the #BBC to join those on the right side of history.
Stop supporting fossil fuel industries, politicians or the public, by proxy (e.g., stop reporting their non-science rhetoric without critical evaluation)
Either that or just turn the BBC, ITV, etc, off & read a science publication.
How many interviews have actually been done with homeless people? How many of their stories of struggle have you actually heard?
Few to none I'll bet. That's because everyone involved in producing the glamour of a thriving society makes it a priority to suppress just how badly it's failing.

Thanks, very neat! I hope they become useful for people whose voices are under/mis-represented, the way the signal of #actuallyAutistic helped replace some noise from autism speaks on #tumblr and spread from there.
Cat game is on sale again at @steam . Explore the sprawling urban landscape from a feline perspective. It's still one of the highest discounts this game has seen yet.
I admit, the cat was the only reason why I bought the game in the first place. I regret nothing for it, though I can see how the charm doesn’t work on others.
Found her yesterday evening and brought her to the animal rescue/clinic.
Found her mother soon after(dead at the side of the street)
Thinking about adopting her.
We're exploring ways to improve our research processes, using methods which encourage a panel of users to share perspectives through discussion and debate.
This has helped us gauge views on the future of travel, media, car ownership and technology:
@BBCRD Awesome! I'd love to see the BBC expanding into other avenues across the fediverse. Have you considered adopting the Ligma protocol to standardize traffic across instances?
Any PS4 peeps here? I've noticed that PKGs for Rune Factory 4 Special and Rune Factory 5 are not on any of the usual sites. Does anyone know where they could be found?
It feels unwelcoming to me. Like I shouldn't engage here if I'm not autistic enough. I'm second guessing my own experiences less by the day, but from what I've heard almost everyone with late diagnosis have felt gaslit and left out throughout their lives. With all the self doubt that entails, seeing people proclaiming they're actually autistic feels like yet another "you don't belong here".
@neversosimple I’m also late autistic. My take is we speak for ourselves rather than health care professionals or even well intentioned family members. Autism is so broad and diverse in how it shows up that it’s hard not to feel fraudulent (especially with well meaning people saying no you’re not or isn’t everyone a little autistic?). If you’re autistic the hashtag is for you.
@Elizabeth3 Thank you for replying, I was hoping that's the angle rather than exclusivity. :)
We both point to the same thing: the self doubt that comes from our surroundings trying to convince us otherwise.
Seems my doubts took it one step further expecting the same from other people with autism. I won't assume exclusion from anyone who uses it, but I think I'll be wary of using it myself due to my initial reaction.
