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.

@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?
#BooksOf2023 #1: #KeeperOfTheLosCities #3: Everblaze. My kids have enjoyed getting into a new series after we finished the #WingsOfFire books last year. These magical adventure books are perfect for our next series together. 📚 📕
@bookstadon#BooksOf2023#16: Robert E. Lee and Me by Ty Seidule. As someone born in the south and whose extended family still lives there, this book opened my eyes to some of the ways the “lost cause” is baked into southern culture. A must-read for anyone from the south or anyone who wants to learn more about the U.S.’s (particularly the South) continual struggle against racism.
@bookstadon#BooksOf2023#17: Fixit by Joe Ide. The 6th book in the IQ mystery series pulled together lots of threads from the previous books, but the story plodded along slower that I would have liked. I’ll keep reading the series, but the first two books remain the best.
