I don’t see it so it may be slowly rolling out?

It’s better than nothing, but there’s also the issue of certifying that the code that’s open, is actually the code in the app. Also the vast majority of people do not posses the knowledge to actually read and understand the code to be able to verify it. So to most people, it being open is of little benefit.

I can’t believe Oracle has 10,000 employees to begin with. What the hell are they doing that even needs that many people to begin with?

Of course it is ideologically motivated, Palantir could be the best and cheapest option but we still shouldn’t give them contracts. They are a US company and subject to the US cloud act so we would be giving up our data to the US.

We need better procurement guidelines/restrictions for public sector software contracts so that UK companies have greater weight.

Maybe even part of the plan, I’m sure US domestic oil companies are raking it in

I really need people to understand that oil from the North Sea isn’t nationalised and so is sold on the open market, at open market rates. Just because it’s drilled near us, we don’t get much of a discount, if any.

They’ll probably just fork forgejo add some slight “ai agentic” bullshit and market it as their own product.

I was going to say hopefully the forgejo licence doesn’t allow that but then again, OpenAI have shown they don’t really care about copyright or anything like that

Also that poorer people often eat more Ultra Processed foods, because it’s often cheaper and saves time. https://www.bbc.co.uk/future/article/20260220-how-ultra-processed-foods-influence-our-gut-microbiome

Yeah good luck building detention centres. Labour tried that on a disused airfield and still got objections from the locals. To reform voters everything sounds like a good idea until it affects them.

If they managed during the pandemic I think they can handle it now. I would like some departments to be moved out of London but I get that London is a talent draw so some staff would not like to move.

 

Didn't really expect much from DrivingUk but honestly the amount of downvotes shocked me. God forbid people go out at night dressed normally without full on high vis.

His lawyer also told the court Laher was “otherwise a very decent individual” whose business, an IT consultancy and distributor would become “unviable” if he received a custodial sentence.

“That would affect not just him but his employees as well […] his business is everything to him. It is everything to a lot of other people as well.”

So if you own a business in the UK you can basically commit any crime and go unpunished as being charged would affect your "employees".

More dangerous and selfish behaviour from drivers.

For those outside the UK “lollipop woman” is someone assigned to a pedestrian crossing outside schools in high vis and usually with a big “stop” sign (the lollipop). Absolutely no way a driver could not see them.
