Looks like it was made for a subreddit. Stockholm Syndrome.

Most car parks push to app and don't accept cash. Some don't even take card. It's a core payment method for them because they don't want to pay staff to empty them.

Fair points. Appreciate the references.

Deflation doesn't always follow inflation. Most countries fear it as it could spark recession. UK for example always aims for 2%, not 0%. It didn't help that Opec limited oil supply to keep price high.

In the UK, we didn't have stimulus check, but had inflation close to 10%, many countries in the EU too so the conclusion it was the money supply doesn't hold up.

But the cost of oil increased and therefore the cost of producing anything using electricity or shipping items so it wasn't like it created some massive surplus of money supply. Increased costs was the biggest driver of price rises in recent year and available money generally bought less than before.

So price went up 5 times and halved? Isn't it still up by a lot? Weird misleading headlines.

No. It's a plan to pull working class to voting against their class interests. It's a conveyer into right wing voting.

Hopefully an influential free speech absolutist will step in now...

Why are racist slurs on Lemmy? This isn't Reddit or Xitter.

Loved Atlantis. Tbf, I loved Universe. Stargate is awesome.

No one goes for source unless they have recommendation or use it and it wouldn't matter in those cases where it is hosted.

Lot's use Github, but it doesn't matter. Lots hate Microsoft too.

Build a wall...

 

Looks like the UK is leading the world by shamelessly sacrificing AI safety at the altar of Trump. Appeasement never works and we have gone backwards towards again being spineless lapdogs in this special relationship.

I remember when we shamelessly followed them in supporting the Iraq war via a sexed up document.

AI can be very error prone and has the potential to be seriously dangerous. It has been said to be used for military purposes and when life and death is in the hands of a computer's decision, who is going to take responsibility for this? Dangerous. We need protections.

We may be on the wrong side of history here. Cowardly from Keir's Labour. I wonder if we traded this for zero tariffs.

 

Analysis from the BBC (who are usually quite motivated and effective at justifying Israel actions).

The sheer devastation is incredible. 66% of buildings damaged. 90% of the population displaced. Water and sanitation systems non-functional. 53/500 needed lorries entering the territory per day (down from 142). They're not even trying to look they're helping now. The population have been squeezed into over-populated tent cities.

It feels like they think if they create the conditions for disease and it kills people, they don't get blamed.

To me, it's hard to think of a way this could get closer to genocide. Absolutely sick.

Israel seem to be galvanised by inaction of the world and probably looking to do the same in Lebanon. Is Yemen after? Where does this stop?
