Babe where he comes from: he’s going home.

Good shit, hopefully his daughter doesn’t last quite as long.

So, technically, the monarchy signed over the majority of executive power to Parliament with the Parliament Act 1911 which gives authority over taxation and budgets to Parliament.

But bills do also technically still require Royal Assent, which has not been withheld since 1708.

Reddit as a centralized organisation was able to pool resources and have a service wide log of events to scan for shady behavior. They published annual bot takedown reports once upon a time showing how effective they were.

Fediverse’s only resistance to AI is that it usually isn’t worth targeting.

It’s crazy to me that the Tankies don’t even believe Tibet is being oppressed. Like, they really don’t even know about it.

Not living in the stone age is one thing, but investing billions of dollars and attracting literally the smartest workers on earth is another thing. Generally a country is very large or has a long history of heavy industry to have a space agency.
