  • Explain to me how overfishing and dumping by neighbour countries somehow justifies taking hostage a ship transporting goods from China to Europe?

  • Just endless links to Russian state controlled or state influenced media.

  • Gosh Jackeroni, that’s a lot of Russian propaganda in a short amount of time.

  • Russian propaganda.

  • Ah yes from the reputable Pravda newspaper.

  • Orban is the reason I’m against further expansion of the EU until the collective have a mechanism to chuck a divergent state out.

  • The “small boats” will be used this time. Anything that can be seen to cater to the Tommy Robinson crowd is likely to be accepted by a large majority unfortunately.

  • Many countries both freer, more egalitarian and easier to do business in has a system like this.

    It doesn’t HAVE to be an evil thing. But it’s the UK so it most likely will be something something money lobbyism cronyism duck house security leak bullshit.

  • A lot of things.

    But it could also go right, tbh - lots and lots of civilised countries have a system like this (looking at you Nordic nations) and it’s extremely helpful and bringing government services online in a safe and reliable manner.

    Of course this is the UK, so this will probably end up as another Government Gateway boondoggle.

  • Of course. But that wasn’t the complaint/satire of the satirist whose article we’re discussing.

  • Some topics are just complicated. If I write you a tutorial in fast Fourier transforms I can’t start the tutorial at 1+1=2.

  • So maybe the tutorial the satirist was satirising just wasn’t quite aimed at the satirist.

  • Help me understand what the author is trying to say, please. It could be I’m missing something. It just reads to me like the author feels everybody else has a responsibility to somehow make complicated topics easy.

  • Oh do grow up, frankly.

    When I taught myself to program, there was no internet. You went and bought an enormous, 800 page book (usually written by Charles Petzold) and you hoped to Darwin something, anything would be understandable and lead you to move forward just a little bit.

    If it’s worthwhile doing it’s hard.

  • Yeah, it’s a mess:

    Ok, it’s a phone.

    Alright, it seems to run Linux.

    <EOF>

    Eh, ok.

  • They’re blocked by all the people falling out of them.

  • I had a soft spot for Icewind Dale’s soundtrack by Jeremy Soule.

  • The CEO also looks underage, graduated last year after an internship with Microsoft. I can’t find any record of investment in the company or even any record of incorporation (to be fair I didn’t look very hard). The CEO and his whizz-kid AI coder may be the two smartest people on the planet - stranger things have happened - but statistically, and going by available data only, listening very much to a teenager (or thereabouts) hawking the skill of another teenager (confirmed) is a bit like watching two drunk kids in town thumping their chests.

    For sure younger people will grow up to replace older people - such is the way of the world - and a salty coder is usually undertaken by fresh talent coming in with new skill sets (been on both sides of that), but right now, there’s nothing demanding attention here.

  • You must work in tech support with that attitude to the problem 🤣

    The user has a problem. Do you want to be right or do you want a satisfied user? I can tell you which path popular operating systems choose.

    And I say this 5 different OSes at home, 3 of which are Linux distros.
