Not arguing that. Of the broadcasters / big media types, I find the BBC usually one of the better ones. But then I get my news from a wide variety of sources. The Intercept is generally a very good addition to my daily intake.

I am guessing you’ve never watched (say) Fox News in the US?

I’m not saying the BBC is good per se. I’m saying it’s slightly more objective than the rest.

Actually, the World Service will remain accessible, but that’s also not where most people go these days.

And just at a time when the US really needs a decent news service…

I am sure this was discussed at the Starmer - Trump talks as a way to further isolate Americans from the truth.

I guess it’s just Al-Jazeera now…

Don’t forget the press release they can also make saying how nice they are for donating, too…

Please, please, please, let everyone using it have the area code 666…

Given that they’re not judged until after they die, aren’t they in this state anyway?

I have a feeling that’s how Douglas Adams may have described it

I just want to know how I can be opted out of being recognized. This has privacy nightmare written all over it

Try Canada. Our prices are about half as much again as US, even when you account for the exchange rates.

Have tried it a few times. It is an interesting concept, but yields utter crap that will break and your LLM cannot help you with.

In normal projects, that’s where a junior dev says “Maybe we need to start again” and all the seniors start looking for work elsewhere

You misspelled it. I think it’s an n and not and l

This should totally happen. I struggle to think of anything that would be made worse by adopting European laws and customs.

Of course not. They’re a corporation. We like to think they’re perhaps less evil than others, but the truth is they would harvest their users internal organs if they thought it would increase shareholder value.

Fuck Capitalism.

An awful lot can change in twenty years.

Remember, it’s usually not a crime if you get caught doing it and you’re rich

The kind where they were getting ready to do it, and then pulled the trigger early

Well, they keep vetoing things that would help. Like calling it a genocide…

History will not be kind to either Netanyahu, or the Biden/Trump presidencies.

This will mean fuck all the to Palestinians who became “displaced persons” just so the Israeli’s can have their own Lebensraum.

The rest of the world needs to get off its ass and ensure Gaza is rebuilt on Israel’s shekel for the Palestinians like a modern day Marshall plan. And ideally prosecute a couple of people for actively advancing genocide.

The Canadian border (where I live) has signs literally everywhere stating you cannot cross the border with a gun. I just assumed it was the same everywhere. Color me stupid…
