Robert Anton Wilson often stated that the one thing you are sure to do by passing a new law is creating a new class of criminal.
Eugene V. Debs stated that as long as there are people in jail, he is ("I am") a criminal.
We have too many laws against being poor, or against the things that people do when they're desperate. We need to start passing laws that remove the desperation: Universal basic income, rent control, food and health supports. People complain about what that costs, but it's cheaper than running a police force and the jail system.

Fuck this and fuck Oracle in particular.

I had to update the same basic PowerShell script in four separate GitHub repos (gotta love micro-services!) and so the automatic Copilot review effectively ran 4 times. Two were largely silent, while two β€œkind of” agreed, but only one pointed out a genuinely useful simplification 😐.

Reminded me of this . . . 😊
@norootcause I voted for neither, but I can see some sort of path by which QC becomes practical for some situations. Technically I think fusion is already totally practical, it’s just we can’t switch the thing on and off, and solar panels really only collect a tiny proportion of the output.
In a better timeline there would have been a collaboration between Florence Welch, Gladys Knight and Crystal Gayle called 'Florence, Knight and Gayle'
