If they stick to this it's a small victory for common sense. If the law is broken it's a crime. If it's not then the police have no business getting involved.

But how will we get a quick read on how shitty a town is? Oh wait there's still the charity shops.

Starmer considering new digital ID scheme to tackle illegal working The prime minister says the proposal could play an important part in tackling illegal working in the UK.

Ok call me delusional if you must, but it does seem like we are slowly but surely being herded into the Orwellian nightmare. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I wouldn't mind seeing him take the job at some point in the not too distant future but I'm sceptical that labour will ever return to it's socialist roots.

Creative way to protest, made me smile. Hope they don't get prosecuted, seems likely though. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e37p...

Hardly surprising given the support they are getting from the media.

Is AI mania going to mean history repeating itself?

youtu.be/LRr0ItPYDaA?... I suspect this chap is onto something, expectations are too high and the resulting crash when reality confounds those expectations is going to have serious economic ramifications.

This guy is not nuts but he is premature with his case, it won't be long coming though. It would be prudent to hash out a consistent answer to the ethical questions being raised before it becomes a real problem. Not taking slaves would be preferable to freeing them after decades of slavery.

There is an assertion in this article that human personality is stable and persists through time. It really isn't and it really doesn't. Take away the obvious physical clues and I doubt we would even recognise our friends and family from one day to the next.

Tips should NOT be left when a server simply does their job, when tipping becomes the default position it simply becomes a surcharge independent of level of service.

Unhelpful since it says struggling to find a word may or may not be a sign of dementia. Not sure what the "unexpected" news is.

That's exactly what they are, slaves working a shitty job for low pay. Exploited to the max by the money grabbing bastards who run the "care" industry.

They know that PSA tests exist they also know they give a huge false positive test rate. 75% of men who test positive don't have prostate cancer. That's why they are not in regular use in the UK.

They don't want you doing it, hence; "In most cases Spain’s rooftop solar is connected directly to the grid. Doing it any other way is complicated. To wit: A 181-page government guide details a 17-point pathway for homeowners who want to become energy self-sufficient."

The amount of restrictions that governments place on anybody who tries to fend for themselves speaks volumes. All they want is for everybody to pay into somebody else's pockets.

Don't worry there's no chance of those gains being underestimated, plenty of people will overestimate the significance that's for sure.

The key word is disenfranchised which is how we feel now. When Starmer attacked the vulnerable it was the final straw, now there is truly nobody looking after our interests. They will pay at the next general election and things will just keep getting worse. The system needs radical change.

Still 400+ to 5, and that party with the 5 MP would most likely be far more cruel given the power to do so. They are all self serving regardless of party. The system is well and truly broken.

Trans people are explicitly protected from discrimination by the equalities act. So no it hasn't. They still have the same rights as the rest of us.

The's what started all this, America and the UK offering Ukraine "robust" security guarantees in exchange for giving up their nuclear weapons. Then doing fuck all when Russia attacked Ukraine.

Slippery slope to a two tier system just like the other place. Is the algorithm going to promote posts from verified users? That would totally ruin the best thing about Bluesky, everybody has an equal chance of being heard. Sorry to see this. #Bluesky #Twitter
