Met Police boss complains about being told to deal with floppy protesters. Felt relevant somehow.
#UK #UKpolitics #UKpol
![One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested.
Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away.
House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.” Extinction Rebellion: how successful were the latest protests?
House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”](https://fedi.ml/photo/preview/640/701457 "One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested.

Our new night-active neighbor and my insomnia are deffo not compatible. Not even pills help. I can't believe our bad luck. One shitty neighbor getting replaced by even shittier ones. Or at this point, I believe this must be a curse.
How to un-curse ourselves?! Not even kidding, how does one do that!?
когда я работал в госкомпании со всяким министерским сбродом, я пришел к вводу что эти люди клинически ни на что не способны.
однако это ошибка. они абсолютно природно гениальны в том, чтобы что то ломать, ограничивать и запрещать.

Another great Checkpoint: youtu.be/ahA_RtG2TzI
I much appreciate the call-out on RuneScape cancelling their pride event. My RuneScape playing friends were so visibly hurt.
Checkpoint is the only game news show I follow as I can trust them to not pander to bigotry and call it out instead of trying to be "neutral" (which these days seems to mean "promoting hate", neutrality would be allowing queer people to exist).
Thank you @Graham_LRR and the rest of the team. You're amazing.

@feld You can't do that unless you know that you should. And, as I pointed out, when the code was full of outdated techniques, I wasn't getting any warnings. I know what's out of date and what isn't. That's how I got into this situation. But a junior developer who doesn't know these things, and leans more on the LLM, will not know when the LLM-supplied code is wrong. They won't know they need to prompt the LLM to do something more modern.
I'm not much focused on myself, because I have what it takes to avoid steering myself into a ditch. But I'm thinking about what happens to someone less experienced who thinks they can use LLMs to do something that they couldn't otherwise do.
Walking back from a gig tonight, I noticed lots of people in Castle Street taking pictures. So I turned around to see what they were photographing.
And this is what I saw.

I'm paying Google ~100 euros a month for their services and the privilege of publishing Conversations on the Play Store.
For a week now, I have been unable to release any updates because I'm still hoping to talk to someone at Google about their false accusation that I'm collecting users' email addresses, and any publication would reset my slot in the queue.
Well, technically you are right of course, an XMPP address is not an email address, but for the purposes of compliance it may be easier to pretend that you are collecting email addresses rather than get Google to change policies so you can say you are collecting XMPP addresses (for conversation.im users at least).
At the same time, the privacy policy also claims XMPP messages are encrypted which is not always (or even usually?) the case.
„I'm paying Google ~100 euros a month for their services and the privilege of publishing Conversations on the Play Store.“
So... why?

Poslušně hlásím: vydělal jsem nula korun!
Byrokratický stát nutí naši zahrádkářskou kolonii utratit 40 tisíc korun ročně za účetní. Kdybychom si za to koupili motyky, můžeme okopat půl republiky. Před deseti lety, když jsem začal dělat předsedu, stačila na účetnictví paní s blokem a tužkou. Dnes? Nestačí ani jedna účetní. Musíme mít dvě: běžnou (20 tisíc ročně) a nově hledáme mzdovou (dalších 20 tisíc). Jen proto, že stát chce notifikace – sociálce, pojišťovnám, cizinecké správě. Abychom ušetřili, zkoušeli jsme účetní software rozchodit sami, ale ani po čtyřech víkendech jsme ty notifikace nedali. Má dáti – nedal.

@stepan ono je to asi všude.. popravdě už mám v plánu s předsednictvím skončit, ať to zase chvíli dělá někdo jiný.. snažíme se držet poplatky při zemi, přesto lidi nadávají, až si člověk říká, že je pitomec, že to vůbec dělá..
ono to asi nemá jiné řešení než "restrukturalizaci" (= teprve když s tím seknou všichni, až se to úplně složí, tak se to bude moct postavit znovu a lépe.. nicméně tou dobou už budeme mít místo demokracie nějakou monarchii, nebo budeme Rusko, nebo další spolkovou republikou

#dobreranko všem
Vyrazil jsem dolů do města do pekárny pro pečivo dost na lehko (krátké tričko, kraťasy, sandály) a ejhle jen 11°C.
Navíc v pekárně dnes nepekli chleba, tak ještě do #penny kde mne opět naštvali, postupně ruší pečivo od malých lokálních výrobců, i když jsou nejprodávanější.
Prý to tak chceme. No, rozdíl na bochníku chleba je kolem 7-10Kč, chuťově a výdrží 300%.
#penam výrobky jsou odpad, koupil jsem #odkolek podmáslovy chléb (nic moc) a vícezrnný lámankový a ač 2x dražší tak zase nic moc 🤷
Nevím jestli jsem nějak rozmazlený, ale i Babiččin chleba od PéCé je násobně lepší a po 5 dnech pořád skvělý.
Takže ráno budu muset přes 3 pekařství abych nakoupil co nám chutná, prakticky 18km, to je už na kolo 🤦
Tak bacha, víte jak je to s namazaným chlebem ...
> Ohio Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno is introducing legislation aimed at penalizing companies who outsource jobs and operations overseas while at the same time providing financial support to avenues that create American jobs.
> The bill, introduced on Friday and known as the "Halting International Relocation of Employment Act" or "HIRE Act," creates a 25% tax on "outsourcing payments" which are defined as any money paid by a U.S. company or taxpayer to a foreign person whose work benefits U.S. consumers.
Isn't sourcing anything from another country technically the same as: "any money paid by a U.S. company or taxpayer to a foreign person whose work benefits U.S. consumers." ?
This would hit everyone lol

urobil som si čaj a ešte ostanem v posteli.. včera som celý deň ostal triezvy ale chuť mám, takže opäť aspoň dnes nie #dobréRáno
edit: prestal som aj fajčiť Iqos a vrátil sa k Vape, potom keď sa ustálim v čo aj keď mám obavy verím sa pokúsim prestať aj s Vape
edit1: vyfajčiť 10 - 15e denne je poněkud hodně, plus alkohol ani nepočítám
edit2: to zvládnem, dnes určite
