I mean, It was that or being deported to Afghanistan - he obviously thought a boat journey was better than taking his daughter to “safe” Basra.

That’s sort of besides the point really, though, no?

If you’re tasked with maintaining a structure (lol) you can be expected to perhaps attempt to know where all the bits you’re responsible for are aren’t you?

But then again, Severn-Trent uses dousing rods to find water mains so who knows what they he’ll they’re actually doing.

Is it what AI is good at, or is it just that the image generation stuff is where the focus has been because it’s more accessible to non-tech literate?

Regrettably I know many professionals whose grasp of written English is worse than OP’s.

I’ve found that breaking cables is a personal issue. I still have an old usb Xbox 360 controller for pc gaming from when I owned an xbox. My partner has destroyed cables for laptops, hairdryers, headphones in less than 12 months.

Some cables are objectively worse than others (macbook chargers I’m looking at you) but a modicum of care generally is enough to make sure they last without too much hassle.

And, you know, a society in which your parents bank balance and the school you get sent to is the single biggest indicator of your future successes.

Brexit was just some real end-game shit for them to cement their authority over us little folk.

If you can afford to fail it becomes astronomically easier to throw ideas around, turn them into real things and see what sticks.

What are you using to browse lemmy?

In any case I was trying to link to matrix.org

I’d bloody love to be earning half that 😂 at least I know now that I’m not in the 1%.

Bring out the guillotine I guess!

To be fair to the plod that’s not the only thing she’s being charged with.

She’s specifically been leaking information about ongoing investigations which for an LEO is a big no-no.

Mottram drove to Kay and Bennett’s house to warn them about the police file on Kay – which as we know, and she didn’t, was deliberately bogus.

If she’d just told people that EncroChat was insecure then she’d have plausible deniability, but she’s clearly pretty involved in trying to assist people in keeping clear of the law (which is pretty cut and dry in the eyes of the law - regardless of what you think of the morality of it all).

Mottram bought weed from a dealer whose phone number was saved in her mobile phone. She also told Bennett about a murder file she had seen on her boss’s desk, and took selfies with her work computer visible and showing an “official sensitive” document.

A few other dodgy bits here too, again, very much in breach of her terms of employment which, for LEA employees can get sticky pretty rapidly.

All of this is quite apart from whether you think the fuzz should have access to private citizens communications (which I should be clear I don’t). But she’s not just an innocent person who just told her mates that they shouldn’t use a specific service to discuss breaking the law.

33 here - if the staying up is enjoyable then 1-3am is fine. Hangovers are worse than when I was 23, but I’m usually back up to speed by lunchtime.

Of course this is heavily influenced by how much water I drink while I’m out. Hydration is important folks!

I’d argue the whole county, but Norwich is certainly the eye of the storm on that front…

Do they use the little plastic discs? I always wonder if that’s not liable to scratch up the screen…

In the UK Oatly is the go-to. They have a specific ‘barista’ oatmilk which is pretty decent.

not likely to lead to deescalation.

If I were a cynic I’d suggest that might, perhaps, be the point.

Disney felt like a tipping point for me (and Netflix’s new role as a production company). It was only when that came about that people like Paramount started offering their own services (idk how true that is but it’s certainly how it felt).

I still pay for Disney+ right now, but a big part of the appeal of streaming for me was having lots of stuff in one place. Now it’s just cable/satellite all over again.
