This is where critical thinking needs to be a skill taught and learned. Too many people take information at face value. An AI that's 80/90% right is a great way to get duped - like the author at the end.

In my country we have a literal course that is called "critical thinking". I think it's one of the reasons I got my degree.


Be careful about reading too much into that. Our elections yesterday were for local and sometimes regional representatives - not our central national government. The result might still prompt a change in our unpopular Prime Minister but the high vote for Reform won't necessarily translate into voting for them at the next general election. We often see protest votes for alternative parties in local politics and everyone was expecting one this time.

Surveys here have been showing a trend towards greater public support for the EU. Its advocates have been pushing for closer integration and even talking of a referendum on rejoining. Although of course this also has to be viewed cautiously because the polls before the Brexit referendum had also pointed towards remaining and one of the biggest fans of the EU recently has been that unpopular PM who might not be in office for much longer.


I meant people still in the EU have learned, and laughed, and vowed not to make this mistake.

People in the UK, like the US, seem addicted to voting for morons then being surprised when they do the things morons do.

From my experience "connectors" make the most friends and do the most activities.


How can we prevent this? Can we not start forcing MFA for git pushes? Use your fingerprint, MFA, or yubikey - reject unsigned commits on public repos?

That video seems like it was made for the tiktok generation. Slow down.


I’ve definitely noticed in evenings it stops trying as hard to solve the issue and suggests I go find the answer. Never the case in the morning.

Is finally possible!


Does the status page still show it as up?


Wanna check?


This was a joke about them always being incredibly late to updating their status page.


Great that MPs are apparently exempt from the scanning. As if there aren’t enough high profile menaces in power.

Either include everyone, or accept it’s an awful idea for security and exempt everyone.


Absolutely the case for me. Small fun projects that would take a few hours to round off a feature can now be done in an hour. Why wouldn't i finish it off?
