'In a country with £15 trillion of financial wealth of course there is money available to fund the NHS.
And cuts are not needed.
Nor is privatisation required.
All that is necessary is sufficient financial imagination to permit the raising of the NHS to make good the shortfall the Tories left.'

The NHS need not die: Rachel Reeves just has to permit more government borrowing and we could have the health service we need https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/09/12/the-nhs-need-not-die-rachel-reeves-just-has-to-permit-more-government-borrowing-and-we-could-have-the-health-service-we-need/


The NHS need not die: Rachel Reeves just has to permit more government borrowing and we could have the health service we need

According to the FT this morning: England’s NHS is in “critical condition” after years of underfunding, an official review into the health service has warned.

AI is \*not\* just a tool. It is a pea and thimble game in which a few, very rich people steal our entire cultural and intellectual history, and use it in a way that forever depletes it. It is a way of enclosing the commons. And it's taking us all, the demos, too long to get our collective heads around it because, like the climate, it is so strange to think of it being steal-able that the idea doesn't stick, it doesn't have language to describe and discuss it. 1/3 #AI

We are in the same kind of situation as First Nations people being offered beads for land, and not actually comprehending the terms of the deal because the idea of country being privatised was too, too wierd to comprehend. There is a huge and accelerating cultural shift going on, in which \*everything\* we have thought of as natural, given, the water we swim in, is being taken, used, turned into private wealth. 2/3

None of us can take our little share of the air and say, no, you're not allowed to run this through your private jet and spit out the polluted, depleted remains. And it's the same with our cultural heritage. To me it's akin to the Taliban blowing up the Buddhas of Bamiyan, or Rio Tinto and Juukan Gorge, or Exxon and climate. 3/3

When someone addresses "chat" outside the context of a livestream, I'm assuming the intent is that they're breaking the fourth wall and addressing the audience - saying a thing while explicitly *not* directing it at anyone present. Or am I overthinking this? :p

Just witnessed an Australian MP say in Parliament “chat, is this prime minister serious?” and then follow up by saying “sometimes I feel like he’s the CEO of Ohio”

Politics and voting doesn't work like standing at the edge of the road and just hailing a taxi, instead it's more like getting the bus that goes closest to the location you want to be; except that in the United Kingdom the bus has been privatised, the wheels have been stolen by the Tories and it also is on fire.

A killer feature cohost had compared to every other social media site I've been using is rich webpage embeds. Any webpage you linked to, it had a high chance of embedding a usable, readable, etc. copy of whatever is at the site. It wasn't just OpenGraph previews, but a richer embed of the site's actual content much of the time. Means there was less of a culture of sharing inaccessible screenshots, and more just pasting links.

As ever, Jamelle Bouie is insightful: Springfield dogs & cats is not a meme; it is blood libel: incitement to racist violence. I've been thinking about his recent column: their insane rhetoric is meaningless on the surface, but deadly meaningful underneath. Media are missing this.

As fiber is rolling out faster, remember that almost everyone will be perfectly happy with a 250mbps internet speed. Don’t let the sales people tell you that you NEED 1gbps for gaming or streaming.

Also 99% of equipment can’t take advantage of anything more than 1gbps. So 2gbps is probably a waste of money for you.

DON'T HIRE IT PEOPLE TO DO THIS. STANDARD-ISSUE IT PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DAMN WELL DOING. (ASK THE STATE OF MAINE.)

Hard drives are a great backup option, for about 10 years, kept in cool, dry conditions. -_-

The real crime here is hard drive manufacturers, deliberately designing their drives to be unfixable. A tape you can just respool. Hard drive, it's all... tangled together with the heads and the disks, and they even use those screws that take a special screwdriver. Both of them are pretty much the same magnetic medium!

don't say: "my freedom ends where your freedom begins."

Think Bakunin:

We share one freedom. And if I am free but someone else is not free, what I have isn't freedom: It's privilege.

The student approached the Master and said "He wants to put a million people on Mars by 2040! That's so amazing!"

The Master replied. "I have a better plan. I will put a million people on Antarctica by 2040."

"But that sounds fucking insane. Why would you want to do something that stupid? It's a barren wasteland that's difficult to populate and would provide us with absolutely nothing!"

At that moment, the student was enlightened.
