Or the knowledge to know that it even needs doing.

Don’t leave Joe out of it! (also /s)

You have to trust the contract.

If you use Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace etc then they already have all your data anyway. Most businesses have to trust other companies and the contract at some point.

The only other option is to use Open Source self hosted everything which is beyond most people’s ability.

If you’re a business with a contract with them it should state that they won’t use your data to train their models.

If you’re using the free service then you’re right that it’s safe to assume that your data was already being used.

They were also confused before the Iranian prize remark.

Not only that but it needs to also be negotiated with Isreal who routinely assassinates / attempts to assassinate people that they are negotiating with and who has shown that the term “cease fire” is meaningless.

I have a policy that if a post or comment is worth a reply then it’s worth an upvote. If it’s not worth an upvote then I don’t reply.

Well, we know that at least two major supermarkets in the UK aren’t able to operate properly when faced with a significant cyber attack.

She took more than 25 years and caused permanent mental health issues but only gets a sentence of 13 years? That doesn’t seem fair.

Most of the cameras in the UK take photos from the back presumably to avoid the flash blinding the driver and/or to get motorcycles that only have a plate on the back. That means that we can’t rely on the photo to know who was driving.

I’d imagine that very few games would be given an 18 due to the unfiltered chat.

Surely they all have a block and a report function at the very least (even if they do nothing about reports).

If that’s a problem for you then Behind the Bastards is not for you.

I’d say that the aim of the podcast is not to document the events in question (that information could always be found elsewhere) but to document the back story behind the events in detail.

I think that’s only because of how recent that was. It might be different in ten years’ time.

In the UK, they write to the registered keeper of the vehicle to ask who was driving.

If the keeper doesn’t respond or doesn’t know who was driving then they get the fine and points themselves.

Israel prides itself in their capacity to inflict maximum pain and destruction.

That wasn’t the case at the start of the Gaza genocide. They used to say how good they were at targeting and that they only did precision strikes.

Then I guess that they realised that nobody believed them but they weren’t going to do anything about it anyway so they stopped pretending.

Deterministic means for the same input you always get the same output.

For AI it would be if you ask it a question multiple times using exactly the same words you would get the same answer.

I read an article that said that he hasn’t actually broken any UK laws to do with rape that we know of.

From memory the main points were:

• Virginia Giuffre was 17 when they met which is above the age of consent in the UK so he can’t get done for having sex with a minor.
• Had he done what he did now, he’d have broken laws to do with sex trafficking but the laws weren’t strong enough back then so they don’t apply either.

Obviously, what he did was wrong but that doesn’t mean that he can be prosecuted for it.

I’m hoping that there’s stuff that we don’t know about that they’re preparing to prosecute him for.

I used to have a motorbike that I hardly ever used and it was so unreliable because of this. I ended up having to get rid of it in the end because it just wasn’t worth the effort for the amount of time that I used it.

Norway’s fault for choosing the wrong recipient for the Peace Prize. /s

Cyberpunk 2077. I played that game all the way through three times but lost the love for it when they completely reworked the talents for the DLC. I just couldn’t get back into it after that.
