@hkz have you tried to ask it anything? -

Very odd interaction with Nationwide Building Society today: -
Roy Lilley (NHSManagers.net) on the paradox of public health:@ChrisMayLA6 Go back to pre-1974 reorganisation! Have a local MOH responsible for all aspects of public health locally. Together with the "Sanitary Inspector" who was responsible for food & water safety, sewerage & safe housing. Increasing centralisation of services hasn't always worked well & we are about to get more of it!

@coolandnormal Oh, that makes sense, for sure.@ai6yr @coolandnormal Wonder what they do if their car breaks down?

Universities have a long record of being the agents of their own problems by colluding & negotiating with those who are antagonistic towards the sector (the self-immolation of research assessment is a classic example).@ChrisMayLA6 "Do not comply in advance".

As the DWP continues its antagonistic attitude towards carers, its pretty clear that there is a complete contempt for all that carers do for those they care for.@ChrisMayLA6 DWP are playing on the fact that carers are unlikely to abandon their caree. I remember reading about parents with young children occupying a housing office when desperate for permanent housing. Maybe it's time for carers to do something similar?

If you are sitting in the UK, looking across at the Tangerine Tyrant's bypassing of democratic scrutiny by using a wide range of executive orders, and thinking 'well thank god that won't happen here'.... think again.@JackTheCat @ChrisMayLA6 @davidallengreen Dangerous to assume they can't! They have some well-resources backers by all accounts who presumably can.

My biggest problem with the concept of LLMs, even if they weren’t a giant plagiarism laundering machine and disaster for the environment, is that they introduce so much unpredictability into computing.@mikemccaffrey @EmilyEnough Good point.

Keep getting ads on the other site for these defenders of the Western tradition whose main preoccupation seems to be defending themselves from having to talk to any women@aphclarkson.bsky.social Maybe women are low on techno-optimism?

Hi Fediverse!👋 We're Volt Europa, a pan-European political party building a federal, green, and progressive Europe.@VoltEuropa Hi and welcome! What do you see as the best strategy for a willing & good-faith UK government (let's just imagine) to approach closer ties/re-entry to the EU?
tbf the current govt does seem to be inching in that direction. -
There are more idiots on Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.@aral Nooo!

New blogpost:@neil I think of digital sovereignty in terms of autonomy as opposed to subservience/victimhood/exploitation. So sovereignty need not have a geograhical aspect but one of rights and consent - using those tech resources & providers that are relatively more respectful of one's autonomy regardless of whether they are paid for or not. Viewed from this standpoint it allows choice by the vast majority of users who are not in a position to develop/host their own tech. Sovereignty means using tech, not being used by it.

Some stuff you should be watching:- China / Taiwan - Russia / Ukraine- Epstein deletions and findings - Minneapolis - Strait of Hormuz politics and economics- Lebanon - SAVE act and obviously related passport and ID invalidation hijinks.@F3715H @hacks4pancakes I know. It's crazy.
