@duncan_bayne @Zaktor can someone tell Keir Starmer as well

@return2ozma so they crash 12* more than human drivers, even though they currently *have* human drivers?! The AI makes human drivers 12* worse. Cool.

@IronBird @mirshafie did you use a comma where you should have used a semicolon there on purpose

@Rooster326 @xenomor not just SEO; also the blogs are paid for with inline ads so you need enough text to fit the ads in *and* a forced scroll through them to satisfy the view counters, plus you can’t copyright a list of ingredients but you CAN copyright the text around a recipe so this is all a method of claiming authorship (not that that will stop the AI scrapers).

@ZILtoid1991 @MicroWave the Tories did that to the NHS here and then we had a pandemic.

@hotdogcharmer It’s not that they’re not used about men, it’s that people don’t consider likeability in men as an important factor when determining their competence as a leader. And in terms of aggression: men who are “aggressive” are “strong leaders”. Women who are “aggressive” are “unlikeable”. These terms work together. Aggressive can be used about both but it is only a pejorative for one.

@hotdogcharmer @leadore I absolutely assure you likeability is an issue for women in the workplace in the UK. Signed, a British woman.
Look up “likeability trap”, though - it’s the name of a campaign tactic used against women in politics. It’s an ongoing problem.

@Rooster326 @1984 it also asks if you would like to generate a secure password, rather than it just being on right-click, in most “new password” fields.
Google password manager also warns you if you have duplicated passwords saved in it and prompts you to create new, unique ones.
I don’t like Google but they do ok with password management I think.

@Peffse @brsrklf our ancient Blaupunkt has a variant of this: https://interlook.eu/product-eng-3115-Universal-remote-control-for-BLAUPUNKT-TV-TV-support-SMART.html . Alas, the ones you actually need are the HDMI ports, which they don’t give you.

@cybervseas @MicroWave a few quotes here from various people: https://theweek.com/articles/470542/obamas-second-term-case-immigration-reform

@danc4498 @return2ozma https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx005vdgg5yo ooh Farage tried that same one here. Nice.

@UnderpantsWeevil I think Khan basically had to exist as the national example of Labour in high places, when parliamentary Labour were taking themselves down over how to respond to a completely self-inflicted national disaster like narrowly voting in Brexit. Oh, hey, a parallel.
If Khan had been shit I think it’d have been harder for Labour to get such a big majority.

@Horsey still its nation’s richest city

@UnderpantsWeevil @frankiehollywood Out of context, I thought you were talking about London then. Can’t say the world has shifted on its axis since Khan took over 9 years ago. Although he and Trump really openly hate each other…

@CharlesDarwin @phoenixz same. But it will take a lot of Americans to turn it round, and until/unless that happens the rest of the world has to work out a backup plan, brace, and leave them to sort it out.

@desmosthenes but to go back to the first point - if they want to have a company in the US they will do it whether or not they’re resident. Can’t very easily employ thousands of Cayman Islanders in your billion dollar business. A Way would be found. But by structuring the business in such a way as to avoid whatever restrictions there are, there would at least be a small reduction in their cut. And a small reduction in billions is not insignificant. Plus… One fewer tax haven reduces options.

@desmosthenes they also buy food and drink from your local town, rather than designer limited editions from Paris.

@desmosthenes a lot of it is more likely to go into the Cayman Islands or investing in media they can control or buying politicians. Give $1b to one man or $20 each to 50 million people - bet you more money makes it into your local economy the second way.
