  • Inequality really needs addressing. Our “benefits” are very low for a country of our wealth, not enough to live on and a contributor to poverty. There are plenty of disabled people who will never be able to work which the government just halved their universal credit payment from today. The other side is people stuck out of work unable to get and keep work in places where there just isn’t enough and we do extremely poorly at giving them opportunities and skills instead of just punishing them. The country needs a complete attitude adjustment or the situation is just going to get worse.






  • I keep trying to use the various LLMs that people recommend for coding for various tasks and it doesn’t just get things wrong. I have been doing quite a bit of embedded work recently and some of the designs it comes up with would cause electrical fires, its that bad. Where the earlier versions would be like “oh yes that is wrong let me correct it…” then often get it wrong again the new ones will confidently tell you that you are wrong. When you tell them it set on fire they just don’t change.

    I don’t get it I feel like all these people claiming success with them are just not very discerning about the quality of the code it produces or worse just don’t know any better.



  • I still had some issues with the mouse speed on cachyos even after I disabled acceleration. I felt off on its default and I ended up boosting it. Thing is my mouse has its speed inbuilt so I don’t need external software or anything else to configure it on Linux so I don’t understand why I had to boost the speed to make it behave a bit better, it felt like there was some latency as well.




  • Theft has a very specific definition, critically it requires the taking of something so that someone else is permenantly deprived of the thing. When something is cloned or copied its not theft, its all intellectual law driven so copyright and trademark breaches. No one is deprived of the product, only potentially the payment for a service.


  • The same ploy has been used for everything environmental and climate change based. Apparently you have a CO2 emission cost, you have a personal plastic and waste cost its all your consuming fault. No one seems to challenge the idea that if we don’t “consume” this plastic we die from lack of food since everything comes wrapped. Almost all production of waste products generally is done by companies for products they sell us, they are secondary emissions.

    The most common ones where people actually produce the waste themselves are petrol/diesel cars, gas boilers/heating and stoves. But the bulk of production is all the choice of really very profitable businesses and asking them to change over the last 55 years has not worked.
