What do you even make? Is it even good?

Have you even tried to share it in open source communities and explain what it does, why it is good, and how it differs from competitors. Contributors come from users. Users come for good software that they are aware of.

Do you get contributors on GitHub? Is stars about validation or actual engagement from users. Why do stars even mean anything?

My 6a is over 3 years old and still strong. I had no Samsung battery that lasted under a year and a half.

GrapheneOS though.

Dangerous and many voted against it. We already had politicians dead across both sides of the pond. Shouldn't be encouraging this BS.

Did you not sew membership numbers under Corbyn. There are plenty.

When Keir took over Labour and expelled thousands of decent left members for vague reasons it was clear of the authoritarian nature of him. At the time, I asked what do you think he'll do if in charge of the state apparatus.

This is just the start.

Does it count if you say something positive about Bobbie Vylan or Kneecap?

Just curious....

They already sent that message. The moment anyone gets on one of those sites an alert should have gone off, and within minutes, they should have been apprehended. This is our air defense! Russian's regularly fly past our air space even before Ukraine war and we have to scramble jets immediately. If they take these out, we're sitting ducks.

John Healey, the defense secretary called for an immediate review of all sites because he knew it was shit and unacceptable.

Do you think if the Russians broke in, it would be red paint? This is a sideshow distraction.

It still exists?

Iirc the issue was they said they wouldn't and broke ranks for an opportunity.

Lib Dems campaigned on student loans. They got seats and support because of it, and many felt betrayed. They rebrand themselves often. They're the rich but nice party. Free market capitalism with a plastic carrier bag tax. You forget they enabled austerity, and supported health reform that lead to the nursing shortage. They could have held firm on their red lines but they got drunk on opportunity. The question is if they ever cared about Brexit or saw an opportunity to position the party and ran with it.

Trust is a big thing in politics for lefties.

I hope so and it is something that most socialists hold core to their values.

 

Looks like the UK is leading the world by shamelessly sacrificing AI safety at the altar of Trump. Appeasement never works and we have gone backwards towards again being spineless lapdogs in this special relationship.

I remember when we shamelessly followed them in supporting the Iraq war via a sexed up document.

AI can be very error prone and has the potential to be seriously dangerous. It has been said to be used for military purposes and when life and death is in the hands of a computer's decision, who is going to take responsibility for this? Dangerous. We need protections.

We may be on the wrong side of history here. Cowardly from Keir's Labour. I wonder if we traded this for zero tariffs.

 

Analysis from the BBC (who are usually quite motivated and effective at justifying Israel actions).

The sheer devastation is incredible. 66% of buildings damaged. 90% of the population displaced. Water and sanitation systems non-functional. 53/500 needed lorries entering the territory per day (down from 142). They're not even trying to look they're helping now. The population have been squeezed into over-populated tent cities.

It feels like they think if they create the conditions for disease and it kills people, they don't get blamed.

To me, it's hard to think of a way this could get closer to genocide. Absolutely sick.

Israel seem to be galvanised by inaction of the world and probably looking to do the same in Lebanon. Is Yemen after? Where does this stop?
