The PM is the head of government and is ultimately responsible and accountable for its actions and policies. They are also the head of their political party and thus will have a say on what policies are brought to the table (although they do still need to be voted on in the houses).

Our PM is not technically the head of state (that’s the King, from whose power the government derives its authority), however for all intents and purposes they may as well be.

So yes, his resignation will have an impact.

Apart from the times that the US applied export controls to encryption software.

I like my geese free and thriving

You really gonna do the Blades dirty like that?!

Now listen here you little shit

I’m not sure if this is triggering either thalassophobia or submechanophobia but either way thanks I hate it

Same, I set it up a few years ago and both me and my partner have been using it since then with no issues at all, it’s completely replaced Google Photos for us.

We’ve also set up immich-frame and repurposed an old Google Nest hub to use as a digital photo frame.

Ferrari F1: I sleep

Ferrari WEC: real shit

More like this decade century so far.

He is the manifestation of the ‘I made this’ meme. Among other things.

You are assuming that they have a personality to begin with.

Or, one (relatively) simple automation.]

I have witnessed companies make this exact mistake before - they have a legacy system written in $LanguageA that they either cannot find developers to maintain, believe is badly written, or does not support some new feature they want to implement (or some combination of the three) - and decide to solve this by taking the existing codebase and porting/transpiling it to $LanguageB (which is more modern, performant, is easy to hire developers for, etc) - without actually rewriting or rearchitecting anything.

What they are actually doing is substituting one kind of tech debt for another. The existing code that was poorly written and/or not well understood is now just bad code written in a different language. Fixing bugs or implementing new features now takes just as long, if not longer to account for the idiosyncrasies of how the code was ported.

And now this is being done by AI with even less oversight than usual? Recipe for a maintenance disaster.

Personally any game that requires a rootkit in order to play is not a game I’m interested in, from either a gameplay or a security point of view.

As others have said, 100% a leak.

I would advise to stand on a chair or stepladder underneath the ceiling and check to see if it is still level. If you see an obvious deformation around the stain, this will be being caused by water pooling on top of the ceiling plasterboard. In which case, once the leak is sorted, you will likely need to drain the pooled water, cut out the damaged section, replace it, then replaster and repaint.

We had exactly the same issue in our last house. It was in a difficult to see spot hidden behind our kitchen cabinets. We only realised the severity of the issue when the ceiling boards gave way and fell on my head.

There are only two industries that call their customers ‘users’…

I dunno, I reckon ‘DRAL YAES’ goes harder

I’ve switched both my laptop and desktop over to Linux (Bazzite and Fedora respectively) in the last 6 months.

The last time I tried to daily Linux (over a decade ago) I ended up switching back eventually, but this time I really don’t think I’ll need to. All of the games I play most often work perfectly, the dev tooling is even better than it is on Windows, and the hardware compatibility side has been completely flawless.

Gone are the days of having to hunt down obscure Linux drivers for your touchpad or webcam. Everything just works out of the box.

Hot take: Nintendo peaked with the Wii.
