Because it costs a lot. If you have to pay for it yourself.

Hot take: "my disability is representative of all instances in this family of disabilities" is just a different form of ableism.

Oxford City Council determines UK has left the Council of Europe.

Also: BBC can't be bothered to do a modicum of journalism to figure out that the council determined this.

I've flagged this (haha) with the BBC.

And as a treat, here's the Coventry Evening Telegraph reporting that the flag of the Council of Europe is flying over Coventry on the 15th of March 1956. "The flag is azure blue, with 12 stars."

Preceeding the Treaties of Rome, EC, EU, and whatnot.

That 47 year old space probe (N=2) can get software updates, but this one year old internet connected device (N≥10000) is actually electronic waste.

Sure.

There is approximately exactly one multi-millionaire capitalist you should listen to, and it's Gary Stevenson.

Today's topic: the ongoing productivity crisis.

Wonderful, we're finally here! Self-driving cars exactly like in Knight Rider (1982-1986). Can't believe it took 40 years

I really like the modernised colour scheme of "der Sack".

Shocking take: Could it have been ... at privatisation?

Public utilities do not need to make a profit. They are there to enable society. Suggesting to privatise the road network would be hilariously unpopular.

I can't say that I have seen this in UK academia, but I do have experienced this in UK everyday life and in business. This is the first time I've seen it spelled out like this, and it rings true. https://social.coop/@adamgreenfield/112163497049305581

ndevenish,

@markus and then they say it isn’t. And said SE needs to spend 20 minutes walking them through their own stack and logs.

Hypothetically, of course.

@ndevenish I have no idea what you're talking about.

Joking is no joking matter in Germany. Can confirm that it is tightly regulated.

Crack a joke on Good Friday? Jail.
Laughter in public? Jail. (Laughing in a basement is allowed tho)
Smile? Believe it or not, jail.

@markus where are the lines drawn? Dryly sarcasic response is or is not a joke?

That being said, I can see certain members of the political classes welcoming the idea of outlawing e.g. satire on Normal Island

@graemewinter 'Public entertainment events are only permitted “if the serious character appropriate to these days is maintained”.'
I guess sarcasm is allowed.
