The most British thing is to charge more for public transport than it costs to drive then punish people for driving and claim they really care about climate change.

Cheap public transport is the solution, dumbo.

Leader in charge of behaviour in Secondary Schools here. In the thousands of meetings with parents of poorly behaved children I have, I constantly reassure them we are not judging their parenting. We are: crap, lazy parenting is the root of nearly all behaviour issues in schools.

Biden stepping down...

EDIT: For the pedantic, he is not seeking re-election. Given the election is in Nov that's kinda splitting hairs.

Elon
Show content
l created a twatter account purely in read-only mode to be able to view tweets about a silly internet drama I found amusing (yes I love drama).

New account. Never tweeted. I have 20 or 30 bot followers already.

That NEVER happened before Elon. The site is a complete mess it's amazing how bad it is.

Software is very obviously frozen with hacks peppered on.

Funniest of all for me is he tried to get out of the ddal over bots promising he would eliminate them and they are now the worst I have ever seen anywhere.

When will people wake up to the fact that this guy is just a scammer?

It's crazy how much societal harm Elon has done in the space of a few years. I can count on 1 hand the number of racist posts of that level I've seen on other platforms. On Twitter, it's constant. All day, every day, everywhere you look. Any time there's a catastrophe, he and his brain trust of alt-right dipshits get together to come up with a reason why hiring non-white people is to blame. He's actively poisoned people's minds to the point where they've become completely untethered from reality. All they have left is hate.

Nothing pisses me off more on fedi than seeing the haughty behaviour of some 'big names' (in tiny niches actually) on here.

There's a certain subset of people who are disgusted if you dare interact with their holiness, speak down to you and generally strut about like fucking peacocks.

Sorry guys this isn't twitter, just fuck off ok?

I might get to the point where I name names on this, so bloody annoying.

You'll notice I don't follow any of them anyway...

OK so coming back to how the CEO never has the buck stop with them? CEO of crowdstrike did the same thing at McAfee... 🙃

No-fly zone over Ukraine should be the bare fucking minimum we should be doing.

The real wtf about the crowdstrike thing is the lack of testing, the lack of phased rollout and the lack of being able to rollback from a failed update.

Which is all the responsibility of senior staff all the way up to CEO at crowdstrike, all of whom should resign.

But of course they won't, and probably they'll fire some engineers and the guys who set up the total lack of any sensible testing for mission critical kernel mode updates will keep their jobs.

Because that's how it works... 'we're paid more because the buck stops with us' is one of the biggest lies going unfortunately.

One thing no one ever talks about being an adult is how much time you debate yourself on keeping a cardboard box because it's, like, a really good box.

I shit post a lot about this but I do think in 2024 you shouldn't be using a memory unsafe language unless you have a very good reason to.
