My preference is score/range voting. Then there is no vote splitting.

He should also get rid of FPTP now. If he doesn’t, the sane vote will be split Lab, Green, Lib and maybe Plaid, SNP and maybe Con. While the nutty vote all goes to Reform and they get in with like less than a third of the vote.

The problem is when Docker is used to gift wrap a mess. Then there are rotting dependencies in the containers. The nice thing about Debian packaged things is the maintainer is forced to do things properly. Even more so if they get it into the repos.

My preference is Debian Stable in LXC or even KVM for services. I only go for Docker if that is the recommended option. There is stuff out there where the recommend way is their VM image which is full of their soup of Dockers.

Docker is in my pile of technologies I don’t really like or approve of, but don’t have the energy to really fight.

Social mammals. I doubt ants and bees are very funny.

That makes me feel better. Thanks. I worry about the UK and our FPTP and Reform. They could gain power with it.

Germany electorate, please pleasantly surprise us. It’s been as dark year. Don’t vote in Nazis as well.

There is lots to fix. Including the pipe line of Linux devs into the industry.

Which sucks, because tech needs women. Badly.

Yer, it’s all tankie/troll stuff. Blocked!

If the US wants the power, it takes the responsibility. If it doesn’t take the responsibility, it will lose that power.

Russia and China would be happy to take the position vacated. If the EU got it’s act together, it could also be a contender (but it’s not looking like it will at the moment with its own Putin backed popularists).

When someone gives you that emotionless stare, it means not only is you comment not funny, it’s not really socially acceptable.

Linux users are not all male, or all straight, or single. Outside of incel groups, most groups aren’t (probably even they have members who secretly aren’t!) 😃

TLDR - if you don’t support Ukraine’s right to exist, I’m not interested in your opinion. There is no balance here. I’ve met and know too many Ukrainians.

It get corrupted by people moving between the regulator and industry and just money. Joe Lycett did an excellent Channel4 documentary about it, ‘Joe vs Sewage’

Israel is acting in a monsterous way that doesn’t make it think of it as part of the West. The US isn’t an angel, but that doesn’t make it like Putin’s Russia. It’s false equivalent. Though, with Trump, it could degrade so much I don’t see it as part of the West anymore. If it stops being a real democracy. It could even full apart as I don’t see all the States standing for it. Putin’s, and authoritarian’s everywhere, wet dream.

Frankly if someone supports Russia over the West, or “both sides” Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, I count them as either a Russia troll farm or a tankie.

The West does bad thing, but often with some misplaced good motives. It doesn’t do things like:

Oh absolutely. FPTP is a dangerous system to have in an age of vote splitting nutty populism. Labour should be putting country above party and killing FPTP as soon as possible.

Countries joining NATO to get protection from Russia, or the EU, to get trade deals, is not remotely the same as Russia invading Ukraine in bloody war. Or any of the murderous shit Putin has done.

There is no “both sides” here. Russia invaded Ukraine, repeatedly since 2014, salami slicing it. It interfered in elections. It killed multiple people on foreign soil, using highly dangerous, banded methods, that could easily have killed many others than the target. Putin has completely destroyed any democracy in Russia and murders his opponents.

That is the realpolitik. But as the demographic moves on, and anyone able to change their mind looks how it has turned out, we calls to rejoin in some form will be overwhelming.

But this looks it could be argued the Chinese excavators are cheaper because they are electric. That all the combustion engine vs electric is the normal anti EV FUD. JCB don’t do electric as they say it can’t work. They back hydrogen or the status quo. If JCB is right, they shouldn’t need tarrifs.

But maybe is some evidence is real market dumping I didn’t see.
