"You know that thing, the
Human Rights Convention
(ECHR), that the U.K. largely
drafted after WW2 which has
ensured that nazism & fascism
cannot return - the Tory Govt
want to get rid of it.
Be warned."

"The Tories would then put with-
drawal from the ECHR at the heart of their manifesto, drawing a sharp dividing line between CON and LAB. The plan is proof [...] that Sunak shares the hardline instincts of the Tory right on immigration."

If I’m reading their lips correctly, it looks like my neighbors are having an argument about the creepy guy next door.

Sigh.-> “This is why church pews are emptying”: Boebert called out for seemingly “praying” for Biden’s death

“This is why #church pews are emptying at a ferocious rate. Why increasing numbers of Americans now say they are religiously unaffiliated. #Christianity in America has devolved into a rabid tribe of Talibangelicals and gun-totin Y'all Qaeda fanatics." @lindyli 🙃

Under the guise of "freedom" and "choice," this means that my hard-earned tax dollars get diverted away from funding my neighborhood public school and directly into the pockets of wealthy families who were already sending their kids to private schools.

People don't need jobs. They need money. They take jobs to get money. They wouldn't need jobs if you just gave them the goddamn money. Want to replace jobs with machines? Pay people to live.

Cambridge Analytica class-action privacy litigation unsealed Facebook internal documents that alarmed US Senate Intelligence Committee regarding developers and data access in 'high risk' countries as the company conducted its secret internal audit.

Software Quality is something that #Apple #macOS 13 knows nothing about:

https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macos-ventura-bug-spits-out-perpetual-background-items-added-notifications-at-login-heres-a-potential-fix.2379290/

And what is worse is that the error notifications use the Developer account ID in its text, and NOT the bundle or product name.
So the end-user has no chance to find out what this is even all about.

Stupid. Who even comes up with such crap?

Imagine I’d corporate or political fraud was treated as robustly as supplying class A drugs!
That sentences were based on the amount of value involved!
What a different world we would live in.
