Today's migration figures show that the UK is becoming a less attractive place to live, and politicians are hailing this as a Good Thing, but saying that we need to go even further.

So the Rust repo contains a PR to discuss an LLM policy for the project. As expected, lots of comments.

But it explicitly declares many contentious issues (e.g. copyright status of LLM output) off-topic in that discussion, and is applying moderation to enforce this. In order to bound the discussion scope "to the policy itself".

Just... how?

"Put on your blinders, please, we're starting the LLM discussion."

Medical contradiction. In the same conversation about a transplant the surgeon stated that the heavier you are the less healthy you are and wont survive sugery, then said that heavier people make better donors than thin people due to the quality of their organs.

All this says to me is that surgeons are not competent to work on fat patients and want them to die to give their organs to the chosen thin people, who are not healthy

Takeaways and restaurants:

What's with the aversion to dressing veggie burgers, etc with salad?

Most of the time, veggie/plant burgers are served plain - just burger and bun. All other burgers on the menu are dressed with lettuce, onion, maybe tomato....

At McDonalds, the only burger you can't request extra lettuce, etc for is the McPlant. What's the reasoning behind that?

Do restaurants, etc think vegetarians and vegans don't like salad or something?

My toddler asked for help… then screamed because I helped. 😑

Weather symbols are weird.

There's a black cloud with 10% chance of rain at 3pm, a drizzle cloud with a 44% chance at 6pm and it's otherwise white clouds (occasionally with sun) and 0% chance of rain until midnight (when it stays in the teens chance still with white clouds until getting drizzle clouds at 4 and 5am with a 30-50% chance of rain).

So what's the overall symbol for today?

Black cloud with a single raindrop 😐

Isn't it weird that women who hate feminists want jobs, own property, access to healthcare, be able to vote and financial independence. 🤯🤯🤯

Somebody make it make sense.

one of the most alarming things I’ve read in a long time—and that’s saying a lot!

A member of Congress is hosting sanctioned Russian delegates to discuss “peace” talks.

WTF????
