Amega and Acorn? NES, Master System, etc made sort of come backs with retro stuff. Not so much Amega, and certainly not Acorn.

Yep when Napster just linked people who shared files between them, it was the end of the world. So it's fine when it's bigtech / AI?

No, they want only two! They can't handle it if everyone is the same, or if there is a rainbow of ways. To them, it must be two, no more or less! It must be binary!

Edit: This is a very boring grey lenses to view our species. Our closest relatives is bonobos....

Not even for feeling safe. For convenience is enough.

I think the interviewer was awful. He was doing culture war nonsense and trying to get Jess Phillips to engage. She is right that focusing on race in this, is fiddling at the margins. (With bad data). I don't think it was the debate she was expecting to be honest as she didn't seam fully prepared.

This isn't something imported. Despite what Farage and co claim.

What, that experts should be deferred to? Absolutely. I was never one who had "had enough of experts".

Let experts gather good data and make decisions based on it. Jess Philips is commenting on something that sadly sticks out in the data, far more than race, when the interviewer wants to try and talk about race.

Interesting. Fingers crossed!

I don't feel alienated by her comments and I'm not an abuser. I know the reality is she is basically right. Focussing on race, like the interviewer was trying to do, is not the area to focus if you care about the issue.

We don't get anywhere pending the problem is not as it is. Not all us men are abuses, but "93% of defendants in domestic abuse cases are male; 84% of victims are female." https://refuge.org.uk/what-is-domestic-abuse/the-facts/

So we need to look at what is going on with men that is causing this.

That's what we need.

Good to know. I'd really like to try a proper Linux phone as a daily driver.

I'm sure with infanticide risk they are looking at mothers. Focus where the risk is. That's what data is for. Why it has to be accurate. Infanticide risk monitoring will a postnatal depression checking on the mother.
