£37k so £2055 per person? I wonder how many weeks that set him back?

There'll be no changes to abuses like this until the punishment for the crime far outweighs the profit. Same with wage theft.

I don't know how far owncloud and nextcloud have diverged, but in the nextcloud client you can add filters to ignore files by clicking the three dots on the folder in settings.

You can also free up local space by using virtual folders, but it only works properly on windows.

And Malcolm x was killed within months of denouncing the racism of the NoI.

And Fred Hampton was killed the same year as founding the rainbow coalition.

Isn't your executive currently saying they dictate the law though?

Also openSCAD if you struggle to get your head around normal CAD programs. Everything is written as a script and it's surprisingly intuitive.

It's not difficult though. They just can't be arsed and are making excuses for being comfortable and lazy. If there was a $100 million marketing budget and their favourite celebrity was here, they'd sit an hour long entrance exam. The best we can do is make it fun enough here that people want to comment.

To be fair to bitcoin, it might waste $160 worth of electricity per second, but it does get the right answer once every ten minutes.

It's interesting that they're still pushing Gemini as something that can give an objective answer in the US while they're just selling it as a banter bot in the UK now. I wonder if that means Brits are further into the trough of disillusionment.

Leeds Pipes already provides heating for thousands of people from the local incinerator.

Surely something could be done with district heating networks where they collect excess heat from server farms before topping the temperature up at the incinerator?

But how would that continue to centralise power in the south east!?

Well my cynical side thinks that the government have thought about this and are absolutely fine with it because they actively want Britain to be servile little piggies to the US. My theory on Trump not bringing us into his stupid trade war is because we just give them so much already that inspiring the British public to get angry about it would cost the US far more than they could possibly gain.

I'm glad journalists are starting to ask, but I'd rather they'd get to the point.

Surely it's very bad for British interests for us to send an ambassador to a country where said ambassador is almost certainly blackmailable by said country's intelligence agencies.
