Waiting for the ability to target mobile in c# and for embedding to work.. should see that in the next year I think with the renewed focus on it.. we don't use many unity features but those two are kinda showstoppers right now.

"Since we decided a few weeks ago to adopt the leaf as legal tender, we have, of course, all become immensely rich.”
Ford stared in disbelief at the crowd who were murmuring appreciatively at this and greedily fingering the wads of leaves with which their track suits were stuffed.
“But we have also,” continued the management consultant, “run into a small inflation problem on account of the high level of leaf availability, which means that, I gather, the current going rate has something like three deciduous forests buying one ship’s peanut."
Murmurs of alarm came from the crowd. The management consultant waved them down.
“So in order to obviate this problem,” he continued, “and effectively revalue the leaf, we are about to embark on a massive defoliation campaign, and. . .er, burn down all the forests. I think you'll all agree that's a sensible move under the circumstances."
The crowd seemed a little uncertain about this for a second or two until someone pointed out how much this would increase the value of the leaves in their pockets whereupon they let out whoops of delight and gave the management consultant a standing ovation. The accountants among them looked forward to a profitable autumn aloft and it got an appreciative round from the crowd.”
Pretty on brand for her to lie. She's a member of the National Conservatives.. NatC for short. I'm sure they knew what they were doing when they picked that name.
Clearly not that alone, no. She's being obtuse.. A woman from Afghanistan however may well legitimately want to get out of that country & I think we should be receptive to that.
There are things called strict liability offences, for which intent is not required to prove guilt.
Possession of CSAM is one of those, although I'm not sure about the US (most other countries it is).
Probably difficult to find any that aren't on fire already..
I've seen the standard of driving. I really don't want anyone less qualified than a pilot over my head. Learning to fly is expensive and likely to remain so.
I'm in the UK and have it but literally none of my contacts use it except the local dog daycare that use it to send pictures. So according to stats I 'use' it but not really
Facebook messenger is fairly big (almost everyone is on it mainly because they all have Facebook accounts) and I know a lot on Signal (they all moved from Telegram because Russia, which I thought was an overreaction but no choice but to follow).
Back in the day, pre internet 'social connection' wasn't really a thing unless you were in one of the popular groups. Maybe the phone would ring. Maybe you'd go out for a beer and someone you knew would be there. When you were younger there was school of course,
Something like responding to an article like I'm doing now, maybe you'd write a letter to the paper. Probably not, though.
Since the growth of the internet and later mobile phones you're 'connected' 24/7. So now we have angst about it.... but really things are massively better overall.
Alas I can't get elementx working. It logs in but there's no search for channels so I can't join a federated channel to do a speed test, so I'm left with a blank screen. Sure I'm missing something obvious.
On normal element I tried to join matrixhq, for testing..
That was 2 hours ago. It's still going.. the log is fascinating.. it keeps trying to connect to servers that presumably used to run matrix but don't any more. No idea how far back it's trying to go.. could be years..
I've given it 32GB and every processor I can throw at it so it shouldn't crash this time. Will be interesting to see how long it actually takes if it completes.
That is of course the danger.. as it is it's pretty benign, allowing more people to consume podcasts in their own language. But the terms need to be clear.
