This has been a plausible hypothesis since at least the 90s. I’m happy people kept working on it.

Huge oil and gas reserves also help out.

We reserve it for the “hitler did nothing wrong” crowd.

I don’t care if it’s edgy or ironic or earnest because I have no way to know that. Also, if you fuck goats just to be edgy you’re still a goat fucker.

Nazi YouTubers fuck off.

Yeah, I got the ECHR and ECJ mixed up.

A better question is, why is the government administering it in the first place?

There should be no laws that depend on either gender or sex, so knowing it does not help the government fulfill its obligations. Therefore it is not covered by the public interest and official authority grounds of the GDPR.

Good on you for leaving the EU with at that fuss about “human rights” and “rule of law”.

The argument is that the guardian is a fucking piece of shit terf rag that platforms the worst of the worst while pretending to be left of center.

And any occasion is a good occasion to remind them to do better.

Are they detectives? Dead Victorian boys often are, apparently.

What? Who are we in this case? Because we as a community do know how to. The question is does our Stakeholders know that it may cost more and do they even care?

This really pisses me off. Do you think civil engineers would build unsafe bridges because “stakeholders” told them to? No, because they would go to fucking jail.

We are a fucking disgrace. We need software liability laws because apparently we can’t stand up for ourselves and our profession.

That really depends on your jurisdiction. There are places where domestic partners have a different status. Mostly because of the long arm of the Catholic Church.

I was being deliberately combative, but there’s a kernel of truth. Our discipline had been at it for decades and we have no idea how to write maintainable, secure, usable software. Most of the things we write are neither of those things, despite our very best efforts. As an engineering discipline, we failed miserably.

That said, AI is definitely not going to improve things. It’s going to make things worse. Much much worse.

I mean, have you seen “professionally developed software” up close?

At least the AI slop is improving.

Good: no surveillance

Bad: no users

The subtitle selection is always pitiful on streaming services. Stop being a cheapskate and buy all the rights for all international versions.

Can you please elaborate? What is that children’s rhyme meant to teach? What are green and white ADKs?

Google was not very helpful.

Eventually all elements are burned into iron in the core of dying stars.

We are all future iron.

That’s a headline alright!
