  • Starmer says he won't 'choose between' the US or China

    Jump

  • Starmer isn't able to make a decision and wants to sit on the fence again? This isn't even news anymore, it's a baseline expectation.

  • That will happen either way, but if that's what it takes to stop Trump getting what he wants AND stop the rest of the world becoming the new Syria / Iraq then yes, the manchild needs to be placated with whatever words might work.

  • Trump is a cunt for publicly airing messages sent to him in confidence. Everyone knows about his ego and what he thinks of brown people. Attempting to placate him in private to stop the first act of World War 3 is a reasonable action, and I refuse to dogpile on any world leader for trying their best to deal with that toddler.

  • I mean, I agree with you, but I don't see what that has to do with this post?

  • UK digital ID plan gets a price tag at last – £1.8B

    Jump

  • Because no system is perfectly secure. It only takes one foolish mistake by someone with global access to the data, and it's leaked forever, and they have forever to keep trying.

  • If we had capable leadership, I'd absolutely agree with you. Evidence is telling me that's just not happening, and not going to happen any time soon, though. Instead, it's far more likely any data they do get will be "anonymised", bundled up and sold off to a company the person making the decision has a large stake in, if not by this government than by the next.

    No idea why would would be downvoted without a comment, though. It might be wishful thinking, but your commentary is legitimate.

  • They have no idea who I did or didn't vote for when I complain about them, so it's completely possible to both complain as well as not vote for anyone at all. A spoiled ballot indicates that you intend to vote, but that nobody running for election is suitable, which is exactly how I feel. Spoiled ballots need to be read by multiple people, generally including the candidates, in case they feel my paper indicates a vote for them. My spoiled ballots have been seen and sent a message to more people than an x in a random box ever will. So yes, I do think it's a clever move to spoil a ballot as opposed to being a good little voter and putting my x in the box like the other ~99.7% of voters. If more people did the same, that would say more than voting for a specific person ever will.

  • You speak as if these shithead politicians actually care about us and what we have to say. Sorry, but that's utterly delusional, and one look at what's going on in this country makes that very clear. Voting clearly doesn't do anything, otherwise things would actually be changing now that someone else was voted in. So you can chalk it up to me being some edgy little rebel with a chip on my shoulder if you like, but I will continue to spoil ballots and talk shit to pricks in power until we actually get some real change or I'm dead, and I know exactly what one of those will happen first.

    And it's "you're" not "your".

  • When there's nobody worth voting for, I refuse to play their game. I'm a proud ballot spoiler. Some will say I threw away my democratic right, but when my right is worth as much as pissing in an ocean of piss, it's not worth having. I'm sure plenty of people here feel some sort of victory for placing Cameron-Hiding-Behind-A-Red-Rosette into number 10 because "at least it's not the other one", and I likewise have the same feeling about leaving a message of dissent that a couple people will be forced to read.

  • We're constantly told that the country is broke, taxes will need to go up, old ladies will need to freeze, the disabled don't deserve what few benefits they get... but we've got 1.8B to spend on a scheme that will eventually balloon to 4B+ so that hackers and fraudsters can get access to every piece of information about everyone all in one place, just so we can be spied on even more than we already are.

    Fuck Reeves.

    Fuck Starmer.

    Fuck Labour, and anyone that voted for those cunts.

  • Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC

    Jump

  • I think it's important to still give a critical eye towards the use of AI, but at this point I think it's clear that not only is the use of AI going to stop (even once the bubble bursts), but also that the top-end models are just becoming more and more capable every month.

    A couple years ago I was giving GPT-3 complex prompts and laughing at how bad and error-prone the output was, but last week I was using GPT-5 to give me information in a field I have little knowledge of, and it's giving me perfect answers in seconds that takes me 20+ minutes to verify as correct, and that's tens of times faster than actually learning the field myself. Even if I were to take a year to learn it all myself, I'd then need to not only retain all of that information, but also keep up-to-date on advancements in that field, which an AI will just do over time. This way I can concentrate on the fields of work I already know and follow, but can dabble in other fields without expensive retraining or bugging others in those fields with basic questions.

  • Charlie Kirk shooting latest: FBI release images of 'person of interest' in Charlie Kirk shooting

  • Looks like the story keeps changing, it was being reported as "three down arrows" a few hours ago, now, as you say, "an up, right and three down arrows" which I absolutely agree is a Helldivers 2 reference.

    Just like the supposed "transgender ideology" that turned out to be the TRN stamp from Turan Ammo, I daresay the details of the other engravings will change a couple more times before they actually release pictures of them.

  • He put the Antifa ↓↓↓ on there too, though. Along with another casing with the lyrics to Bella Ciao. I can't see someone that's not in the anti-fascist space thinking of putting those markings onto casings, honestly.

  • I would love for it to be a Groyper just to have every conservative awkwardly ignore that the past couple days happened and scramble to cover their tracks.

    Edit: They have now been named as Tyler Robinson, and the evidence points to them being very much in-line with Antifa 😔

  • 4chan refuses to pay UK Online Safety Act fines, asks Trump admin to intervene

    Jump

  • Let's face it, Starmer's tongue is shoved so far up Trump's fettid arsehole, he can taste his mouthwash. Trump only has to tweet about it and that spineless twat will capitulate and make it the government's most important mission to ensure "international cooperation", or some BS.
