His first post is a glib point about “rules based order” and the reply wilfully missed the point, and the second also isn’t fair. He was minster at the time, he’s not why Greece failed and has had a long career where he’s written very eloquently on matters. He’s good on stuff, that’s why he’s on tv

A lot if things can be true. It can be a populist assault. BBC can make mistakes. And it must be acknowledged you can’t fight back on your knees. There is bias but not always on the right. They ought to have defended this more, including that mistakes happen, before now.

It’s weaponised “politeness”. It’s a technique not to enlighten but to wear down the opponent. It’s language the way bullies talk, and it’s entirely in bad faith. See also Kisin and, when he’s not crying, Peterson.

It’s not criticism. It’s trolling. The left is healing.

There is still a lot of people taking on faith that “you won’t believe what we are doing behind closed doors” is true. All AI now is amazing and getting better but still requires skilled humans to use. It can fix code, it can’t really *build* apps.

Partly I suspect they want chaos, pushback, challenges. They will the argue we need a more “stripped down” government nothing gets done.

it’s a new AI chat thing like chatgpt but made by China. It caught everyone off guard because no one expected them to do it and it was done at a fraction of the cost so has impacted American AI focused tech companies.

One thing about the BBC is the need for endless “content” on newer podcast and clippable podcast format. They’re required to chat in a way that doesn’t give well to deep analysis but does to palace intrigue.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... For me the debate about Mel ended here. She’s not reachable. What is unacceptable is her being platformed by the BBC and mainstream press.

It’s honestly fine for most people. Anyone who spots why it obviously isn’t fine won’t make such an error. It’s a filter.

Haven’t the uk governments and EU said this isn’t happening here? If anything I think Musk overplaying his hand makes it easier to tighten up.

I think it’s also possible to overestimate their power or influence. They can cause damage so I don’t think anyone is suggesting we are not vigilant. They have obviously flaws which can be used against them.

It was obvious it was Cummings when pesto said he had contacts “close to musk”.

RichD @deadair.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

The only thing is to play the game which is (for anyone on the lib lab left) don’t engage. Eventually they’ll start tearing *each other* apart. They don’t have logic or empiricism so in the end it will be a purity test. Already happening ie Vivek / musk and MAGAs

RichD @deadair.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

Why pander to Musk? Double down. Pick your side. You can’t win with them. The billionaire class aren’t sincerely asking for positive change. It’s just about destroying the power of the working class though rage bait.

Has he checked with the advertisers? Facebook is junk anyway. I can’t see how this doesn’t take the products. The question is will the rest of the world allow Trump to bully democracies who doesn’t want unrelated disinformation networks.

The government never outgrow its Labour tribalism. They’re not governing for the nation yet. As a result they have no message, no story to tell. It’s terrified of right wing populism so retreats into technocracy, managerialism and “rules based solutions”. Bring. Some. Vibes.

The right built this after defeat or the prospect of defeat. The left needs insurgency. It cannot be an establishment party.

RichD @deadair.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

The aim, and I think they’ve been very honest about this, is to follow a Canada model and merge into one party. It’s very possible. The Tory party is now a shell.

I don’t think the savings are the point. This is about power. They’re trying to dismantle the opposition to unregulated crony capitalism. Part of is simply trying to demoralise, break or frustrate people. It’s whitewashing an attack of the state.

How much data do you have? Those seem like potentially large amounts of data for mobile if there is background downloading going on.

Apps possibly background downloading. I had this, turned out it was a podcast app downloading every episode of a podcast. Killed my data. You can find out what’s using it following these steps lifehacker.com/how-to-see-w...

That only works if you assume that wouldn’t have been another foreign policy disaster which means simply ignoring everything that has happened before or since.
