"survive" in so far there will still be a lump of rock orbiting the remnants of the sun?

Depends what you mean by good?

Both Thatcher and Blair - whatever your opinion of them - led governments that made lasting changes to how the country worked. Even the coalition managed to achieve some significant things while navigating multi-party government in a very resource restrained environment. I think the current malaise started with Brexit where the population watched parliament struggle to enact the will of the people and have come to the conclusion that politicians are a self serving class with no concrete ideology to form a program for government. Starmer sweept into a loveless majority with little more of than a plan of "be less shit than the Tories" I'm not surprised they want to dump that for anyone who seems like they have a plan.

Well the mail and telegraph are shitty papers, I was confused because the article linked was a BBC one and their reporting at least tries to stick to impartial reporting guidelines.

Who's the usual lot? The BBC usually sticks to reporting the facts which will be how the police designate it. You'll notice they don't say terrorism for the Golders Green knife attack but just report what the suspect is charged with, even though the police declared it a potential terrorist incident at the time.

Who do you want to declare it's terrorism and how soon after the event?

The article says anti- terrorism police are involved in the investigation but I suspect the police will be saying as little as they can until they have all the facts. It's only fairly recently they have started saying anything because of how quickly rumours about incidents spread on social media.

I was bracing for AI slop but was pleasantly surprised to find it is good old fashioned editing.

Because running servers costs money. The project I work on gets donations towards it's CI costs and it's not insignificant.

I suspect they have sorted by the name and displayed a localised version which uses the truncated full version: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

ETA fixed typo

Lol - predictive text got me. Fixed now.

The general received wisdom is the odd numbered movies are not as good as the even numbered ones. I don't disagree but that doesn't mean I wouldn't watch them.

Good luck with that - but entirely unrealistic. You have to deal with the demographics as they are and not with them at some arbitrary point in the past.

After you've solved Palistine are you going to have a crack at unwinding the effects of colonialism around the rest of the world?

Rome was a great series, it's budget was just too high even for a joint production.

Don't be too hard on Collin. Looking back on the threads it's fairly clear he's been the victim of a social engineering attack on an overworked maintainer. People were pressuring him to hand over maintainership while expressing disappointment at the slow pace of development. The off-list contact by Jia must have seemed like a helpful enthusiastic solution to a burnt out developer.

The kernel on GitHub is just a mirror - the primary source is on kernel.org

Because OpenVPN is fiddly to set up and modern Wireguard setups seem to scale well enough.

If you have ever read the "thought" process on some of the reasoning models you can catch them going into loops of circular reasoning just slowly burning tokens. I'm not even sure this isn't by design.

What ever happend to the classic "reticulating splines"?

I just want to buy home automation gadgets that don't need a bloody cloud account to work.

I think car automation peaked at adaptive cruise control. It's a simple tractable problem that's generally well confined and improves the drivers ability to concentrate on other road risks.

It's looking more like a long game to compromise an upstream.
