The thing is he should probably read a history book because the Nazis killed an awful lot of their own too, mostly due to internal politicking that had very little to do with ideology and everything to do with them wanting someone out of the way, (sometimes for personal reasons) and it becoming the culture to do that sort of thing.

Think Soviet Union in the height of Communism. Hell, just think Russia now.

There's a cartoon I've seen from an old British newspaper from the '60s. And it's a guy confronting some Nazi wannabe thug. And the speech bubble is "why does the master race always seem to lack chins?"

I've always thought about that every time these types come on national television or post videos on YouTube.

Well it's only socialism when you give money to brown people.

That's essentially what these people's beliefs essentially boil down to. They don't actually know what socialism is, not really. They're just trying to justify racism.

Oh well that was a fun video to watch. When he walked in the building the total IQ the room in no way changed did it, he has absolutely no idea what he's supporting. He claims to support human dignity and to be against the murder of Innocents (which should be the default position of everyone) yet says he's happy to be called a Nazi. I assume history books are a bit hard and too full of long phrases like "overwhelming photographic evidence" and "independently verified".

Yeah I've been told by quite a few jobs not to discuss pay rise offers. I've always said "yeah sure" and then completely ignored them the moment I left the office.

If they hadn't said anything at all I would have just assumed that everyone was getting the same offer the fact that they told me not to discuss it meant they were probably screwing us over. Best to find out about that.

Yeah I've heard stories about cruise ships. Who absolutely do not want to work on one where the crew are not in a union. You are effectively trapped in the office 24 hours a day for months on end, there's a lot of scope for abuse of personnel in that scenario.

I don't think Linux people entirely understand just how uninviting the prospect of messing around with an operating system is for the vast majority of the public.

As bad as Windows is, and it is it getting worse by the minute, it honestly does just work. I dual boot my computer, mostly into Linux everyday and even now I occasionally come across problems that don't exist on the Windows side. The community need give up with this idea that Linux doesn't have major usability issues.

The conservative party themselves won't back any kind of progressive policy as long as bad Enoch is in charge. Right now their only official position is something vague about immigration but they don't even have a concrete policy on that.

That's why no one should trust anything that Reform say about electoral reform. They only want it because there's zero chance they'll get into power otherwise no matter what the polls say.

Sounds like how I make cheese sauce.

Mayonnaise plus cheese plus anything else I happen to have in the fridge. I put gherkins in it one time, wouldn't recommend it wasn't terrible but wasn't great.

The government are amazingly far behind when it comes to technology. About a decade ago the job centre ended up having to get sued into updating their website, because it was designed for old 800x600 CRT displays with white text on a lime green background. Much of the text was actually images of text so you couldn't search anything. Zero accessibility.

I feel like they would just not notice anyone like that.

There's always some office drama going on where I work but I never have any idea what any of it's about. No one tries to engage me with it though.

That's why businesses insist on seeing your actual passport. Not a picture of it.

I can give you a picture of anything, that's been true for years even before the rise of image generation AI. I once had to mail my passport via recorded courier to a company in London in order to apply for a job in Leeds. Hell of a pain but necessary.

Not of course that there is such a thing as professional recorder players.

You know that they only are prepared to offer cyber security experts minimum wage.

I was literally looking at this yesterday, if they doubled what they are offering it would still be well short of an entry-level wage in the private sector. Up to a point you can get away with it and rely on "patriotism" to fill the difference but not to this extent.

Couldn't they just make off what less crap, like give them some actual authority or something. Why are they burning it down and starting again?

Nah, that's the problem.

The empire were the ones that built the sewage network.

So everyone told the government they were worried about AI taking their jobs and the government's response is this.

I'm not going to say they're worse than the conservatives because that would truly be an impressive feat, but they're not exactly impressing me with their brilliance.

Well it depends on the union and it depends on local laws. But some of them are international.

Unions don't prevent companies being crap in my experience but at a certain point they step in and yell at them for being crap. You still have to put up with HR being ridiculous, being incomprehensibly corrupt is practically part of the job description.

If openai can find a use for the government that'll be swell.

They tend to get it under everybody's feet otherwise.
