The war on the disabled that Labour is committed to will bring further shame to a country already getting called out for crimes against humanity against disabled people in the UK. Labour seems to be worse than the Conservatives in its treatment of the most vulnerable in our society.
The elites have been doing very well since 2010. They froze wage increases and broke the long standing history of them raising with inflation and pocketed an enormous amount of extra profit as a result. Most don’t benefit from GDP growth now, they just get poorer due to inflation further eroding their stagnate wages. GDP hasn’t been a measure that matters to the average person in 14 years.
Microsoft remains convinced we want clippy everywhere regardless of how many times we have rejected these solutions!
We don’t and we won’t.
Such significant commitments on a national level with international treaties should I think be carried by more than a simple majority. Its not a simple choice and without decent will behind it there is every chance it doesn’t last or causes enormous strife within the populace. But the vote is advisory and fundamentally will probably be based on the majority regardless so its now up to government to decide if its enough to move forward.
Most of those limits have already been broken through and there is no political will to do anything but stamp on the accelerator and take humanity off the cliff at top speed.
Depends on the headset, they don’t all work on Linux unfortunately.
He sent billions in weapons to make it happen.
The laws of physics mean that no matter what we do with carbon capture it is never going to be cheaper and less energy to emit it and then capture it again. This is a foolish endeavour the focus should be on the green transition with Wind, Solar and Storage combined with ensuring infrastructure is there for Electric Vehicle transition. This is the sort of investment the fossil fuel wants governments to make that will have no impact and allow them to continue to emit.
Probably the only way they will get taxation money out of the tech giants given all the shady things they do to transfer the profits out of countries to evade taxes. VAT at least is a lot more obvious and harder to avoid although I don’t put it past them to start doing even shadier things.
Ultimately Google is going to do this to every customer in the end, its systems for detecting problems are buggy and you don’t get to speak to a human to fix the problem so a simple automated error becomes fatal. Its going to happen at some point and its a lot easier to migrate when it all still works than afterwards when it doesn’t.
Looks lovely. If it drives as well as Assetto Corsa and adds some of the modern physics features (which looks like with the puddles and night time) and it doesn’t loose any features it will be pretty popular. I am still hoping they will expand the features a bit especially on multiplayer game play and scheduled ranked servers.
Universities have been running Linux since the very early versions. Slackware was pretty common back in the 90s and 2000s and universities had labs full of them not least because there weren’t really laptops so they had to have enough machines for all the students. Universities have been heavily involved in the development of unix from its inception and a lot of the tools were initially written by university professors.
I see a lot of confusion and misinformation in the comments about what Just Stop Oils demands are. Their website makes it very plain and you can read through the details yourself. The press has massively misrepresented the groups demands and goals so its best to read it for yourself. https://juststopoil.org/
These are the 3 demands they have.
✅ Demand 1: No New Oil and Gas Licences – WON!
🔥 Demand 2: Just Stop Oil by 2030.
🧡 We need a Fossil Fuel Treaty.
There is no immediate demand to stop or anything so extreme, they are largely what the UK has already agreed to do but is failing to achieve.
Peaceful protests have not worked, disruptive protests have been widely villified and the protestors jailed for very long sentences. If you are facing 2-3 years for holding up a banner or throwing some paint seems like criminal damage of a fossil fuel facility isn’t likely to net more years. As many have said in the past governments ignore peaceful protests at their peril, because once its clear that doesn’t work they become not peaceful.
This has been ridiculous. I have no idea how long my CPU will last and whether it will just randomly start failing. Intel has run out of spares and it seems to have had so many stabs at fixing the problem now that if we believe this is really the last one we are the fools.
These CPUs need a recall.
A right to repair is long overdue but more than that when it comes to medical devices it’s obvious battery replacement is going to be necessary and should be user accessible.
Then when you age out and never call them they wonder why it is you don’t.
Having now flooded the internet with bad AI content not surprisingly its now eating itself. Numerous projects that aren’t AI are suffering too as the quality of text reduces.
Food is the big one that clearly has to change, its not possible to reduce the CO2 impact of meat and that will have to change. Its also going to be required to change the gas boiler for a heat pump or electrical heating, cars replaced by Electrical Vehicles and to stop using airplanes. The electrical side which is making progress is only about a third of the CO2 production and all the other producers also need addressing.
What a lot of personal CO2 calculators currently do is conflate primary CO2 production (your burnt the fuel in your device) and secondary (you bought from a company and they emitted) but things like meat and airplanes we know there isn’t a technical solution to reducing CO2 so even though they are sort of secondary uses we still have to count their impact and change out behaviour if we want a habitat humans. The same is not true for transit miles and other goods which often get included but which could largely be made with electricity given the transition that must occur, which is a cost that will fall onto business.
