Its quite expensive, a good 3-6 x the price of other email services.

They caused an accident and then fled the scene, jail time seems most appropriate for the CEO and everyone underneath him who agreed this robot was fit to be out and crossing roads.

This proved they will just use it for announcing their latest damp squib policies so zero point keeping it on, they are only going to abuse it.

Felt like an underlining of their new policy to ban adjust the guidelines to voluntarily stop the use of disposable BBQs. They are under a lot of pressure to actually do some mitigation since water is running low and crops are failed but apparently this was the actual action, banning BBQs and alerting everyone to that new guideline!!!

They have been using the minimum estimate for CO2 impact on heating since the 1970s. The level of pollution in the air has been hiding the true impact and as the various causes of pollution are removed the earth energy balance is changing such that it turns out that the highest end of the CO2 impact is actually correct, which doubles the heating effect. There has been about a third of climate scientists who have been warning about this but they have consistently been called the extremists or the doomers and they have been right all along. They were always right, the evidence was based on actual experiments of the impact of CO2 and not by measuring the planet.

Labour Friends of Israel. Its a group inside the labour party that are strong Zionists and their members are now in charge of the Labour party and the government with strong ties and bias towards Israel. They have been using increasingly authoritarian measures to put down anyone criticising Israel and its actions of genocide in Palestine and expansion into the West Bank.

Really they all need to down tools until its reversed and the barrister compensated. Every one of them is risking criminal charges for doing their job, that is unacceptable.

Maybe its genuine on his part then and he isn’t playing dumb he just doesn’t actually realise that Labour has been bought and paid for by the rich and wealthy since the end of the 90s. He does keep thinking he can get Labour to change tune, yesterdays interview on channel 4 he is still talking like Labour can be pressured into wealth taxes to save themselves from wipe out in 2028.

By not admitting this is actually something the government is intending and helping happen. He is treating the powerful as if they are unaware of the impact of what is clearly their chosen strategy and what will happen.

I know Gary likes to play dumb and assume this isn’t actually the goal of the rich and powerful all along but they have been executing this class war now for 45 years. Its not like its new and its had universal support from every government since the early 1980s. It is what the ruling class wants, because they get to own everything and live even better. There is a reason you can’t get Labour to do anything about it they have been pursuing this intentionally since the 2000s.

They made billions as a company last year, they certainly made more out of this stunt than the piddly £28m fine. Handly worth the regulator bothering if its not going to actually take an action that dissuades them from doing this again. Just the cost of business.

Such prejudice from Ofsted is unfortunately nothing new.

What I miss in the transition from forums to Reddit and Lemmy is the longer forum discussions that could go on for years. They had their issues, they regularly went off topic and resulted in insults being traded and trolling but they also got to a depth that we don’t see anymore. They were much better for getting to the detail of a thing and with Reddit/Lemmy being so focussed on today the entire discussion is gone tomorrow. The tree format is better for the branching discussion but its also got a real depth limit.

We lost something important when most of the forums shuttered. I really miss usenet for that as well, it alas didn’t evolve with the increase in spam but it could have been something still in use if it had.

Need another one now for all the removal of side loading, that is another big antitrust issue. Best make the fine actually worth something this time.

Its a really great market for picking up talent if your company isn’t currently suffering AI psychosis. You don’t have to use talent scouts or anything else expensive, your competitors are just laying off their top engineers who previously you had no chance of getting and they aren’t even doing it out of necessity.

I still had some issues with the mouse speed on cachyos even after I disabled acceleration. I felt off on its default and I ended up boosting it. Thing is my mouse has its speed inbuilt so I don’t need external software or anything else to configure it on Linux so I don’t understand why I had to boost the speed to make it behave a bit better, it felt like there was some latency as well.

Theft has a very specific definition, critically it requires the taking of something so that someone else is permenantly deprived of the thing. When something is cloned or copied its not theft, its all intellectual law driven so copyright and trademark breaches. No one is deprived of the product, only potentially the payment for a service.

The same ploy has been used for everything environmental and climate change based. Apparently you have a CO2 emission cost, you have a personal plastic and waste cost its all your consuming fault. No one seems to challenge the idea that if we don’t “consume” this plastic we die from lack of food since everything comes wrapped. Almost all production of waste products generally is done by companies for products they sell us, they are secondary emissions.

The most common ones where people actually produce the waste themselves are petrol/diesel cars, gas boilers/heating and stoves. But the bulk of production is all the choice of really very profitable businesses and asking them to change over the last 55 years has not worked.

Got to have a couple of examples of the rich and powerful going away for their crimes so the plebs don’t realise how stacked against them the system really is.
