This is actually a Tory policy, where the law was passed by the previous Tory government and came into force under labour.

That’s not a get out of jail card, because they could have stopped it, and instead choose to continue it, just like they continued the NHS anti trans policies. Or the way they choose to continue the same austerity budget rules.

At this point, I’d say they’re exactly as right wing as the Tories.

There’s a contingent of very vocal minicab drivers and tradesmen that constantly complain about sharing the road.

This kind of being a dick to cyclists plays well with them.

So a random person on Reddit claimed there’s about 800 million possible uk mobile numbers, some people have multiple numbers so ballpark 80 million active phone numbers. This gives around a 1:10 chance of picking an active number at random. If there’s actual patterns in the numbers this could be even more likely.

What’s interesting is this won’t have been a realistic sounding number.

Company lines typically start 0300 or 0800 but mobiles are 07… Something.

So if it was just hallucinating, it did so badly.

Don’t use change.org.

Use https://petition.parliament.uk/ and then someone in the UK government might actually read it.

There’s a bunch of women specific legislation in the equality act as well.

For example, it allows for the existence of women only spaces which include gyms, refuges and toilets.

If you say that women is used in its biological sense, you’re saying that trans men can use these spaces but trans women can’t.

However, the ehrc is going full terf and saying that despite the ruling that women is used in its biological sense, they think that all trans people should be prohibited from using some of these spaces.

The EHRC are political appointments that were selected for agreeing with the politics of the previous government.

That’s why they sound like anti trans activists.

The whole thing needs to be burnt down. There’s no room for political appointees in legal bodies.

I read somewhere it was to do with her giving tattoos, or at least that was part of the accusation against her.

I think you’re confusing this with other needless detentions. That one was at the Mexican border, and I think the woman was German. It’s difficult to keep track though.

If you don’t mind being shot for trying to escape.

Ubuntu is deployed all over the place for data science.

I’m fairly sure this is because data scientists got used to running it on their personal machines and can’t be bothered to learn another distro.

It’s not road legal, but you can own one. If it came in on the back of a lorry, with the right paperwork, there would be no reason to stop it.

I mean the fundamental problem is that humans are dicks and moderation is always needed. It should also be paid, and supported with counciling and recovery time when needed. Dealing with toxic content is a job.

Federation isn’t very good at this. The tech is great but everyone is a volunteer and there’s (afaik) no global ban hammer so trolls move from one instance to another. Bluesky currently has venture capital to pay for moderation teams, and centralized ban options.

I don’t know how long this can last without advertising revenue though.

Yeah these shouldn’t be nationalized.

Instead, the new nationalized companies should buy their own stock, or lease on longer term and cheaper contracts.

Rolling stock companies only exist because there’s no point buying a train that lasts decades, if you only get a contract for 3 years.

Technically it died and was resurrected.

There was a bunch of weird rebadged Ubuntu derivatives back in the day.

This probably isn’t a hallucination in the classic sense.

This is probably a near copy of a forum post where a user was channeling fight club and trying to be funny. The same as the putting glue on pizza thing.

And guardrails don’t work very well. They’re good at detection tone but much worse at detection content. So an appropriately guardrailed LLM will never call someone a “fucking ######” but it’ll keep telling everyone that segalis have an IQ of 40 until there’s such a PR backlash that an updated is needed.

Just calm down and wait. You don’t actually need massive amounts of milk from the start, and it takes time for everything to kick in.

If there’s still not enough milk, you can mix bottle and breast.

Some people genuinely need to bottle feed, but that’s not what was going on in our case.

The important thing about NHS care is that half the midwives are completely insane, and they all contradict each other. They have basically no medical training and are just meant to get someone qualified if anything goes wrong. Instead they go mad with power and use it to bully first time parents into doing what they say.

Our midwife was insistent that if there wasn’t enough breast milk immediately after birth we had to switch to bottlefed. I don’t think you can figure out the official NHS approach based on anything a midwife says.
