  • Or he is not willing to accept blame for the huge fuse regime made of it.

    His mistake has 700k views. And is entirely understandable for someone who dose not use staff to police his shares. He was afterall just tagged in a huge collection of photos of an event. He did attend.

    But reforms choice to select a single photo. Of someone else wearing an inappropriate t-shirt.

    When the t-shirt. The original post and the huge draw of attention to it. Are not anything to do with him.

    Then yes. All he is really required to do. Is a to openly declare his error. State he should have been more careful. And express he doesn’t support the message the other person is wearing,

    Absolutely the only people. Considering him responsible for the actual message. Are folks looking to turn it into a media attraction to defend reform from financial headlines.

    More so when you consider the free speech reform overtly stands for, includes setting fire to occupied hotels. That happened after the call. And the poster plead guilty and was sentenced for. Reform then invite to speech and receive support at their conference.

    No apologies to reform are not needed. Just an acceptance that the picture was inappropriate and he should have checked for it. Is morally all he needs to do. Reform dose not have the right to expect an apology for their own use of the post to stir support.


  • 118k is just above the minimum for debate.

    Given governments have ignored millions. Absolutely nothing was ever expected to happen.

    The only way to have any effect. If 10s of millions directly writing to MPs stating the conflation with Israels actions and Jewish people. Is unacceptable.

    Only when MPs have a clear indication. Their power is on the line. Will any pay any attention to it.

    And ATM. No matter how much social media etc. makes it clear anti genocide and accusing Israel of genocide in not anti Semitic. Their bank Ballance. And UK media. Is pointing them.

    To this opinion being a small vocal group and not the majority.

    Only with millions taking direct action and telling their MPs. No stop this shit or lose you job.

    Do any of them think they have anything to fear.

    Add this to the fact. They still refuse to take the one party expressing this view seriously. As do many voters.

    And they are in part correct to think. The opposition to this view. Is not supported by any risk of electoral defeat.


  • No you do not.

    The idea that any marriage meets some pre difiend rules about spending. Is just a mythical unicorn.

    Many men and women by cars without consulting the other party. This is very common when both parties are high income professionals.

    They would involve each party arranging independent loans. Or in this case being a criminal arsehole.

    Sorry to tell you this. But your understanding of marrage money management. Is a hold over from the pre 1974 period. Where women were not legally allowed to own or borrow money. Without a husbands permission.

    Yes many many couple still think of money as a joint responsibility. More so with lower income couples. Because it is harder not to.

    But it is far far from exclusive to all marriage’s. And many independent career women. Simply would not tolerate it.

    As an old fart myself. Yep I’d find it uncomfortable living in such an environment. Even when I had a high income. I still had the ideas of someone raised working class. But me ex wife most definitely did not feel the same way. And her stepfather’s abusive history had a lot to do with that.

    Bit she is an extremely example. The idea of independent financial management between 2 married career people. Is far from uncommon.


  • 400k over 12 years. 33k a year.

    Yeah seems huge to most low income families.

    But 2 people earning about 150k each a year.

    10+% extra annual income. Is less noticeable. I can see why the police did not laugh. Just investigate and Look for evidence she was directly informed.

    I mean honestly as a left of centre voter. I’d be a bit hypocritical. Not to acknowledge.

    A family on 300k a year will be way less likely to notice an extra 30k.

    Then a family on 30k a year will 3k.

    We on the left make this claim all the time on progressive taxation etc. it applies to this as well.

    For now I’ll ignore. How much of a bigger arsehole he is. Then the low income family stealing 3k to feed children. I’m only pointing out the busy wife is not as obviously expected to notice. As one who wonders where the extra baby milk came from.



  • As dose most PC over clocking practically. It is just allowing chips to run at higher temps by removing the limitations on power designed to keep them managed.

    Mobiles may be more strict. Due to battery life. But all over locking is considering the compremises and adjusting the priority.

    With smart phones. The compromise is normally battery life rather then heat.

    Desktops it’s adding extra cooling and shortening the design lifetime of chips in exchange for Greater CPU cycles.


  • As they should.

    No billionaire spend huge investments on something. To increase Thier labour expenses.

    Any one old enough to remember the days of early robotic automation. Where the government and billionaires claimed it would creat new higher paying jobs. And not reduce working hours.

    Can also remember how much easier it made moving those jobs to lower income nations,

    Same billionaires claimed the internet would create huge numbers of skilled jobs. Again moving them to cheaper nations as soon as was possible.

    The only reason AI can possibly be worth those same billionaires investing. Is to remove the few jobs left in high cost nations. And to start to remove the lower cost nations employment.

    It is utter fantasy to think any single billionaire. Is going to stop and worry about who earns enough to bu their shit. While competing to gather as much wealth as possible. Against only other billionaires. They will just compete against each other. Until ones get to call themselves king.

    Caring about workers. Just as much as their cared about the serfs that worked their land.







  • Debian has some maintenance. But if you think windows doesn’t. Your already having issue.

    But Debian is one of the most documented distros. If your having an issue. Odd are multiple people have documented how to resolve it.

    Linux as a whole. Requires you to have a basic understanding, of what and why you are doing things. If not you will have a bad time.

    Debians biggest issue. Is the default 0 non free firmware and software. This means some drivers etc are not going to install automatically.

    So for any new install. Unless you have an entirely open system. You will need to manually edit the source files. And install extra packages.

    If you have Nvidia this is a big issue. Bit well documented.

    The big issue is when a new version comes out. If things change dramatically. Their is a delay in that clear documentation. This continues through their testing to stable releases.

    But they are excellent at ensuring security releases continue well beyond the upgrade. Years usually.


  • Yep millions of us.

    Most commonly due to stability.

    Long term. It took effort and understanding to add newer versions of programs to it. Those of us with these skills managed. But it put off a lot of we want/need the latest without effort folks.

    Over the last 10 years. Flat pack or appimage have come far enough. It is rare if ever I need to build any software I don’t want to.
