Over the past 30 years, massive amounts of money have been taken out of the system - dividends, share buyback, insane bonuses, and more - money that could have gone to investment in infrastructure, repairing and replacing systems that were almost a century old when privatisation happened.
Instead of papering over the cracks and hoping for the best (while paying obscene bonuses to the upper levels for saving money), that money should have been used to upgrade and replace everything in a system that was designed for 15 million people but now has to deal with 70 million.
Yes, replacements and upgrades have been done - but just replacing what was already there at the time of privatisation is still 100 years away from completion.
So, I say that, given that they have removed so much money from the system while allowing services to stagnate, and that "emergency" sewage releases are an hourly occupancy rather than once in a blue moon, and that 1/3rd of water that leaves the reservoir doesn't reach the tap (and apparently a similar per centage is lost on the return trip), re-nationalisationbis the only real choice.
With no compensation.
Take Thames first, as that apparently can't cope with the twin demands of providing a service to consumers and providing a payout to its owners (so the service takes a back seat) without going bankrupt, then do the rest one at a time.
If any company can turn themselves around, they can stay.
For now.
But if we have to bail out privately owned companies, then they become public property.
No more privatised profits and socialised losses.
Same goes for any other industries - banks, rail, buses, power, airlines, mail...
You don't get the profits if you don't provide the service.
So get out of the way.

Hi! Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!

So pleased to see someone else choosing the backpack over the wheeled suitcase. So much lighter and more flexible - and it leaves your hands free.

"When it comes to the best travel luggage, the debate is dominated by the bitter rivalry between four-wheeled spinners and two-wheeled draggers. But for me the answer is simple: no wheels at all.

"After years of trailing heavy bags, and then rolling them upright, I’ve gone right back to my youth and re-embraced that long-forgotten, much-maligned treasure of travel, the backpack."

#travel smh.com.au/traveller/reviews-a…


I’ve given up on my wheelie case and will never go back

When it comes to the best travel luggage, is it better to have four wheels or two? For me, the answer is simple: no wheels at all.

AI Voices need to improve significantly for me to buy audiobooks that use them. Right now, all the AI voices are just... so soulless and devoid of the humanity... and I don't know if AI could ever even come close to a human narrator.

#AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid today brings 19 updated & 2 added apps:

* Mousedroid: transform your Android phone in an input peripheral; mouse, keyboard, or numpad 🛡️
* RvKernel Manager: a powerful and user-friendly open-source tool for managing your kernel settings (root needed) 🛡️

Our RB reports will be a bit late today, as one of our builders dropped off the network (we're on it) & the other runs all builds 🙈

Enjoy your #free #Android #apps with the #IzzyOnDroid repo :awesome:


IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repository

This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).

IzzyOnDroid ✅

@shadowwwind To be fair, it's easier to get RB at IoD than at F-Droid, if you didn't establish it that way from the start. At F-Droid, that would mean a switch of the signing key then (as without RB, the APKs get signed by F-Droid) – which then would mean for everyone to uninstall and re-install. And first to know you had to, as you'd simply get no update information anymore (incompatible signature)… At IoD, we always ship the APKs built & signed by the resp. developers, so it's easier.

Anybody ever ran into synchronization issues with e.g. Davinci Resolve and #Rusticl ?

I fixed some issues with gl_sharing and wondering if that resolves it for everybody as well: gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/me…

We only synchronized the imported GL objects on import, however we need to do so also on each clEnqueueAcquireGLObjects call to have all writes from the GL...

18 Years to the day that I went out and bought the final Harry Potter novel, I'm still reading fanfiction based upon the characters. I had left it all behind for over a decade when the story was finally done, but I've been drawn back in strongly over the last 4 or 5 years.

My daughter is 14 and is really looking forward to the TV series to see the characters she already knows in a different light, and a couple years back when I was still a school teacher, I was shocked to see children drawn into the world not through the books and then the movies based thereupon, but from the Fantastic Beasts / Grindelwald films, an entire 'nother entry point into the saga.

It's powerful to see that an author has gone from being a wonderful luminary around children's charities to a practically despised and hated figure over trans rights. I would also love to peep into a parallel world where Pottermania wasn't a thing and the books were modest successes, just to see how the ending would really have been without all the pressure.
Part of the reason I devour the fanfiction is that I don't remember ever feeling the ending of the original stories were particularly satisfying, so seeing so many variations and outgrowths of the possibilities are a balm.

In a recent Bloomberg Technology interview, Todd Weaver, CEO of Purism, challenged the widespread belief that building smartphones in the U.S. is economically unfeasible. Purism’s Liberty Phone—manufactured with made-in-USA electronics—stands as working proof.

Weaver pointed out a crucial detail: the Trump T1 is essentially a rebranded Chinese-made Wingtech device.

This is interesting: this combination of a circuit breaker (black lever) and RCD (white lever) can trigger the white lever down by pressing the T button even if the black lever is down.
I guess this means the power is brought from the bottom. And only thanks to the extra switch in the T circuit, magical smoke does not leave the device when holding the T button for a longer time.
A circuit breaker of C10 combined with RCD of 0,03 A.

My background is in #AI and ML, even though I’m not working on it directly now.

One of the reasons is that I’m utterly disgusted by the kind of people who have taken over this field.

These are the same kind of sociopath cynical anarcho-capitalist cryptobros who screwed up the few good ideas about Blockchain and transformed it into just another speculative financial instrument.

And you know why I hate them from the bottom of my heart, why I believe that they have negative added value for society?

Because the previous generations of computer engineers, those who gave us the digital computer, modern operating systems and the Internet, would NEVER get a boner thinking of how many jobs they would have replaced. They didn’t repeat all the times “this will make all office clerks redundant so I can keep all the money for myself, it’s so beautiful!”

No, their focus was just on building things that improved society.

Not on creating chatbots that consumed as much energy as a country, and dreaming about how long it’d take them to kick people out of jobs and screw their lives.

And they don’t even bother to think how to prepare anybody for the transition, or how to build a sustainable post-employment world.

No, the only mission of these filthy motherfuckers is to make them and their shareholders disgustingly rich. Millions losing their jobs in the process is just a small collateral effect in the way of their wealth.

These are parasites screwing up one great idea after another just because they need a next-big-thing wagon to jump on and get rich. They are literally reversed Midas who turn whatever they touch into shit.

This kind of people would belong to a psychiatric facility in a functioning society, but unfortunately in today’s ultracapitalist world they are seen as technological gods - and even inspire new generations of tech enthusiasts to be jerks.

Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia is the world's largest salt flat, which transforms into 'the world's largest mirror' (used for calibrating the altimeters of Earth observation satellites) during the rainy season, when a thin layer of water covers the surface. This creates a breathtaking natural phenomenon where the sky and clouds are perfectly reflected, offering surreal and stunning views.
