It's the Chinese way.

Obligatory eye-roll.

Do you use Arch by any chance?

PS. Two of my machines run Endeavour OS, the other MX XFCE ;-)

As @leetnewb says, nothing out of the extraordinary here. I think the issue is that it's Boeing. It seems quite fashionable to find fault with them lately. Sometimes justifiably so. Maybe not in this case though unless we see multiple instances of the same model and fault.

Good. Some people think they can leave lights and stuff on all day, because they have more money than sense.

I never thought they couldn't. Glass phones were an absolutely ridiculous idea.

Thing is, if it's non toxic, then it's possibly safe. Maybe not pleasant, but not poisonous. Just as bad as pineapple on pizza.

Wonder how long it'll be before we get suggestions about eating detergent capsules or drinking bleach to cure covid.

Training your AI on Reddit was never a good idea though, you just have to look at all the crap on there to realise that. Let's just hope they didn't use Facebook as well, or worse, Quora!

This should come as no surprise. The UK's MOD did similar, albeit on a smaller scale, for training troops for deployment in Northern Ireland, and Germany/Europe.

I think we all know China is gearing up to attack Taiwan as they make no secret that, as far as they are concerned, it belongs to them. The fact that the Taiwanese don't agree is neither here nor there.

Same with Russia.

My daughter is studying Creative Writing and English Literature at Birmingham (UK) University. She's put together some pieces on Substack. Most of them are over my head, but this one hits right in the feels. Apart from a couple of technical inaccuracies, it's spot on. Hope you like it ;-)

Holy crap, that's depressing.

And whitey wonders why the locals have got the arseache.

You only have to look and see where his money and family interests are. Anyone who's surprised at this point, hasn't being paying attention.
