  • I think I’d argue that the iCloud app is an OS component, but yes I understand that’s debatable

  • Biden will always do what they tell him to.

    Odd that according to you they didn’t tell him to veto the vote.

  • From what I can tell it was precisely because the Electoral Commission was not spending money with these kind of folks that they were breached. They were running on old software, poorly configured with minimal spend. They had just failed a security audit.

  • No. If I’m a doctor with qualifications in microbiology and I tell you that vaccines are important an effective, then I’m it’s worth listening to me because I’m authoritative, more so than the random guy on YouTube. It’s the erosion of authority as a problem that the article is about.

  • You do understand the difference between authority and authoritarianism, right?

  • This article is about authority figures, not about authoritarians. That’s like mixing up paediatricians and paedophiles

  • If you had said antdemocratic, classist, unrepresentative or elitist, you would have a strong position. Going with ‘benefit scroungers’ just makes you look silly.

  • The family are independently wealthy and most of the money from the Sovereign Grant goes on official business. Indeed, for the last couple of years- IIRC - expenditure has exceeded the grant. I think it’s pretty unlikely that much of your money is going on any private chemo.

  • “I wouldn’t wish cancer on anyone, but I don’t think some people should get NHS treatment”

  • Having just been through a prostate scare with the NHS, I’m not - particularly.

    Contacted the GP and was booked for blood test within 3 days. Saw the GP post-results for an examination 4 days later, was at the hospital for a CT scan 3 days after fhat. Follow-up conversation with the consultant 2 days later.

    Luckily, I got the all clear - but if someone has an obstructive abdominal condition they are going to be in surgery pretty quickly and as a matter of course, the removed tissue will have a biopsy. Being put on chemo within a month absolutely doesn’t surprise me. The NHS is under severe stress but when the shit hits the fan, it usually comes through.

  • (checks notes)

    You apparently, didn’t even make notes, let alone check them

  • This will probably be enough for me to convince my organisation to quit Twitter and spin up their own Mastodon instance if Incan te them that they will be able to reach Threads users

  • Yup. Lots of 32bit Mac games that died

  • Here's the quote:

    “I think the important thing is that the sports governing bodies take a lead on this. And they are doing that, and we’re supportive of what they’re doing, particularly in elite sport.

    “So, that’s where the decision should be taken. They’ve taken a number of decisions. And, in the end, common sense has to prevail in terms of safety and integrity of sport.”
