Yeah it's like I suddenly realise I haven't been thinking about the reading and I'm near the bottom of the next page somehow.

That's true about the hot tub. We already have helicopters but I can appreciate there's room for the drones to be more pervasive because of their lower cost. Holding police to standards isn't easy. We ask people to go out and pull long shifts, to react in complex and life and death situations both for themselves and for the public in a split second, should we hold them to a high standard? yes, should we give them a break for split second mistakes bearing in mind what we're asking them to do - also yes.

In terms of photography there's no expectation of privacy in a public place. Maybe in some countries that's different but that's how it is here. If you take a picture in public you don't need the consent of everyone in the background. So the police aren't doing anything that joe bloggs couldn't do. Personally, I feel the police keep me safe. 99 times out of 100 when there's some kind of shitty headline about police there turns out to be a lot of missing information from the story. I've been pulled over plenty when I was younger and had other interactions and have always been dealt with reasonably. My only complaint about the police is that there isn't more of them. So I guess we're going to disagree on this issue.

Nobody's being punished, only (briefly) surveiled.

How would this be different to following a suspicious car to see what it's intent is?

Is it essential liberty to be able to run around doing crime without being surveiled?

He had a lovely gentle demeanor about him. He was good recently in the Untamed series.

I think the strategy in leaving Farage to only face Binface is that win or loose it makes Farage look like an idiot. He wanted to get credibility back by getting re-elected after the recent scandal and this binface thing robs him of that.

"I identify as a nerd and think I'm virtuous, therefore other people who identify as nerds should be virtuous in order to validate me"

Facebook stopped being good when they took away the order by most recent option IMO.

No access to a network that's safe? Do you have a zero day on SSL we should know about?

That's OK in menus and the OS in general but if you're working on a web app or big form tabbing through it can be a PITA.

I'm having a Seal delivered next week, really looking forward to it. My friend went from a M3 to a Seal. She does a lot of miles. She says they trade blows, there's things that felt better in the Tesla and things she prefers in the BYD.

It seems there's suspiciously little context available, yet here I also am commenting on a 'vaguepost'. I wonder if one day AI will be able to filter out vagueposts from my browser along with ragebait and curiosity gap headlines.

There are numerous spaces and opportunities for you to express your opinions. In fact almost anywhere else (in the US anyway)

It's not a direct threat but it is a passive one, it's also swearing and a contentious statement in a confined space where everyone needs to get along for the next N hours. They know damn well what the issue is but they're going to put their hands up and claim they're just expressing an opinion and they're not hurting anyone. It's childish behavior imo.

I don't think it's productive to single out a specific company that's in this area. If they closed someone else would do it. If they don't execute well someone else will. It's the same mentality as people who smashed up looms to keep people employed at spinning wheels.

I hate getting AI generated emails from people. They probably haven't even read or understood the slop they're sending me, the chances of them understanding and contextualizing what I reply are slim, I might as well reply with AI slop. What's the point of any of this.

Maybe I can increase the weights on slop in my spam filter.

Yup. Let's see Kiras LinkedIN.

We have a customer with a business in Uganda, we just give her the laptops and she physically takes them with her next time she goes there.

I think solar and wind are a good idea, and subsidies can be a useful tool, I think making a statement about how cheap solar and wind are without mentioning that they're subsidized is not entirely accurate or honest.

In case you're as interested as I was, they have google street view.

I did not express an opinion on whether subsidies are good or bad :)

Solar and wind are still heavily subsidized are they not? If they're so economically amazing why are they subsidized?

To be fair it's pretty much the norm with shared and even vps hosting that your cpanel etc will be publicly accessible. Only people who hand-roll their setups will have things firewalled down etc. And if it's a website promoting a local tree planting initiative or whatever is it really a good use of budget to get everything hardened so much.

Solar and wind also require many materials extracted through mining, you can't really get away from mining whatever you do.

I would counter that being reliant on gas and oil from our enemies as we currently are is madness.

I thought that. surely people are going crazy right now owning anything with an our of date Wordpress exposed.

They are not comparable accidents, Fukishima had no direct casualties and mostly very local effects and Chernobyl needs no introduction. I guess the cause / back story is more interesting for Chernobyl as well because of the human and political aspects.

The issue with a client app backing up dropbox and onedrive folders on your computer is the files on demand feature, you could sync a 1tb onedrive to your 250gb laptop but it's OK because of smart/selective sync aka files on demand. Then backblaze backup tries to back the folder up and requests a download of every single file and now you have zero bytes free, still no backup and a sick laptop. You could oauth the backblaze app to access onedrive directly, but if you want to back your onedrive up you need a different product IMO.
