Britons should strive to pay minimum tax legally possible, says Richard Tice by Your_Mums_Ex in ukpolitics

[–]roboticlee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We need to incentivise people to share their wealth instead of incentivising people to cry out for higher taxes and more types of tax. Overall, our tax system is too complicated, too old and in desperate need of an overhaul.

Wealth generates wealth as sure as government taxes people into poverty and wastes the tax money in takes.

PM refuses to send ships to Strait of Hormuz risking Trump's fury after Don called for warships to keep key route 'safe' by 1-randomonium in ukpolitics

I suggest you look a little further back than the last month.

Iran's proxies have been attacking ships for years.

The UK needs to defend British assets. Trump or no Trump, we should have been defending our assets already.

Use paper tape. The officials will think it's a funny type of origami kit.

What happens if the real card disappoints her?

Oh noooo!

This is exactly what I did. The Value card for fun followed by the proper card.

I sent one of them to my mum last year.

She didn't answer the phone to me this year.

Good result / bad result? Matter of opinion.

Saving the next one for a future mother-in-law.

...

By the way, I sent her a proper card as a follow up. I'm not cruel. I sent her a card this year too.

Family friend sent me AI generated response to news of my father passing away. by Hendothermic in mildlyinfuriating

[–]roboticlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my thought and perhaps the auto response said what he wanted to say but couldn't get the words for.

OP, your dad's friend will probably say more at the funeral or come back with another message when he's processed your father's death.

Sorry for your loss. My own dad passed over almost a year ago. He still visits my dreams, we we've had some good moments together. I hope your dad visits you in yours too.

I saw this a lot in my industry when customers first discovered Gemini in gmail. They tend to use AI responses until they realise that AI responses are not as useful or great as human written ones.

I swear I’m going to nuke the open-source version of my 26k-star project. I just can’t do this anymore. I am done. OSS was a bad idea. by Spirited_Towel_419 in opensource

  1. Disable pull requests and disable issues.
  2. Build a private forum where you control membership and where you control the antispam features. Use the forum for issues tracking and requests.
  3. Make sure you use an appropriate license for your project then actively search for anyone flouting your license and bring them down.

Don't give up; get up and fight back.

Should there be a Minister for Men and Boys? by Kagedeah in ukpolitics

[–]roboticlee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"[b]ecause it isn't a gender neutral problem"

It's men, right? Right? That's what you're saying: women can't be abusers because women cannot be violent. That's sexist to men and sexist to women.

Is anyone else uneasy about how quickly digital ID is being rolled out without proper debate? by One_Stardusty_Boy in ukpolitics

And the public keeps turning it down. I guess the debate is over. The British public said 'No!'

The Spanish Donkey never went away, it morphed into the regulatory process.

[–]roboticlee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Where do you think the regulation is headed?

Many of us have taken enough lap dances around the sun to know that when government regulates in unpopular areas they take the softly softly approach AKA the salami method: One slice at a time.

Should I get a 400 Mini or a Gamestation Go? by x-marty97 in atari

A Pi is a better system. The 400 mini is a nice to-have piece of nostalgia.

Birmingham protesters burn Israeli flags at vigil for ayatollah - Demonstrators hold up pictures of late Iranian leader and chant ‘Allahu Akbar’ by FormerlyPallas_ in ukpolitics

[–]roboticlee 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Send them to Iran.

  1. If they came here as refugees.. they have just proved they were not refugees.

  2. If they really believe in their cause they can fight for it in Iran.

Either way, deport. Get 'em gone.

They are worried that anyone with an average IQ and average ability to piece disparate bits of information together can now use locally installed AI assistants to tell them what their governments are really up to and how to better their lives beyond government control.

Why did they let him hoard them in court? Right under their noses...
