My pals in BBC World Service have been doing some awesome work on "lite" versions of their news articles (other page types to follow).
They essentially skip the Server-Side React hydration which means you end up with a simpler HTML+CSS page, no JS.
Page sizes drop significantly:
* Transferred: ~600KB -> 30KB
* Total: 1.65MB -> 135KB
Just append `.lite` on a URL e.g. https://www.bbc.com/mundo/articles/crgyyvdz1dro.lite
There's no on/off UX at the moment but they're working on that too.

#BBC director resigns after criticism of #Trump #Jan6 speech edit
Dir-Gen Tim Davie & head of news Deborah Turness both announced their resignations Sunday.
Britain’s public broadcaster was criticized for editing the speech Trump made before insurgents attacked the Capitol.
Critics the BBC documentary editing was misleading & cut out a section where Trump said that he wanted supporters to demonstrate peacefully.

The BBC has long held a reputation for being bias-free. And that has always been one of its greatest delusions.

The original: The Quatermass Experiment on BBC, a live miniseries in 1953 with no permanent record of the bulk of the broadcast. Proving ground of Nigel Kneale, the Rod Serling of the UK.

Fvck Off Nige. You already made noises about reducing womens autonomy and access to medical procedures. And you recently made a speech that could have been written by Adolf himself - all about children, church etc. The rest of the time you are finding ways to keep non-white people out of the country by calling them criminals, or military age men.
That’s what you do when you aren’t in the USA gathering up big business sponsors of the worst possible kind.
Shame on the #BBC giving you this kind of soft platform, without any decent context. #FreeAdvertising #Promotion

"More than a hundred BBC employees have written a letter to the director general, Tim Davie, complaining that the Corporation has become a mouthpiece for Israel.
It was also signed by 300 other journalists and media professionals: one of them was yours truly"

A large international study coordinated by the #EBU and led by the #BBC found that AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time across different languages and platforms, with #Gemini performing the worst.
[…] Key findings:
• 45% of all AI answers had at least one significant issue.
• 31% of responses showed serious sourcing problems – missing, misleading, or incorrect attributions.
• 20% contained major accuracy issues, including hallucinated details and outdated information.
• Gemini performed worst with significant issues in 76% of responses, more than double the other assistants, largely due to its poor sourcing performance.
• Comparison between the BBC’s results earlier this year and this study show some improvements but still high levels of errors.

Real:
Turns out standing up to Trump is not just principled, it's easy. All the networks, and law firms, and Universities could have done the same, but went with fascism and appeasement of a toddler. #BBC

Die morgendliche Tour d'Horizon durch das ÖRR-Radio verlief wie immer. Kurz und schmerzhaft.
Dauerte aber letztlich nur Sekunden. Alles so armselig wie immer. "Mit meiner Kollegin aus dem xxxxstudio...schauen wir auf..."
Schon blöd, wenn man die Augen nicht aufmacht. Dann sieht man auch nichts.
Kein Hinsehen. Kein Verstehen. Keine Nachricht. So einfach ist das.
Was sollte sich auch geändert haben - gegenüber gestern, vorgestern, vovorgestern und allen anderen Tagen davor? Sie finden sich doch selbst so toll. Unverzichtbar geradezu. (Sind sie nicht.)
Jetzt tröstet mich Charlie Musselwhite mit "Que Te Parece, Cholita" auf #RadioParadise. Und für echte News gibt es ja noch die #BBC.
