If it is anything like the UK, Covid and lockdowns were massively disruptive to both driving lessons and testing, so there is a substantial bump of new drivers on the road at the moment and people practicing for their test.

Altman has already shown that in conflict between the board and MS, he’s on Microsoft’s Sam Altman’s side.

Perhaps the the EU should be looking at a forced divestment of Jibe?

No. Going after Jewish people because they are Jewish is antisemitic- and there’s a lot too much of that going on.

But you knew that really, didn’t you?

Interesting. I embedded an image in each using the kbin.social web app. Wonder if that functionality doesn’t federate.

Not even seeing any text?

A close up

Just in case you are interested, here is a similar phenomenon - photographed on the moat of Leeds Castle in Kent, UK - back in Jan 2010

Well, you state that as a fact, but I’m going to say that the difference is infinitely small, so they are equal

I don’t agree that they are the same.

It’s just that the difference is infinitely small

Appreciate the back and forth.

Likewise. Thank you for making me think - I’m still pondering now.

Edit: If you want to see the source interview with Bowen, it’s quite interesting. It’s hear https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0gts7c1/behind-the-stories-on-the-front-line-jeremy-bowen - start at 14:30.

He’s asked if he regrets anything he said that evening and he says no - then he’s challenged on the “flattened” comment and he says “Oh yeh - well, I got that wrong. I was looking at the pictures … and that was my conclusion looking at the pictures and I was wrong on that”.

He basically comes across as pissed off that the Israeli’s wont open the borders so that reporters can observe directly. But yes - he should have started with “that was a cockup on my part”

Yeh. We agree, he fucked up by making a hasty assumption about the hospital explosion, based on the drone footage he was seeing.

I’m saying that if he had reported accurately- a large explosion outside of the hospital - people would still have made the same assumption that Israeli action caused it.

But there was a massive explosion outside the hospital. Are you really saying that that shouldn’t have been reported with the caveat ‘we don’t know who is responsible’ because people would have assumed it was Israel ?

I think enabling the functionality would require too much back-office and vendor integration to make it a feasible lie. Too many people would know about it - and the risks from lying and saying ‘not enabled’ are too great.

If they had been enabled - and found out - the recommended lie would be “we are currently undertaking a small-scale trial of the technology to assess it’s effectveness. We will be report on the results early next year as part of a wider public consultation into it’s wider deployment”. (Why yes, I have worked in public sector comms).

The report of a massive explosion outside the hospital would have lead the same people who made assumptions about Israel being responsible to assume that Israel was responsible.

Context from the article.

Each of the forces using the K-series cameras told i and Liberty Investigates that they do not, and never have, used the LFR function

Yes, it’s cklearly something that we need to keep an eye on.

There are several places - Computer Associates was the olther classic place - until it was bought by Broadcom.

Fair point. I do the same, but I’be blocked onlt a handful of communities. I like watching the weird stuff float by in all.

Why are you blocking communities in all, rather than viewing ‘subscribed’?

Particularly Broadcom, which is where old technologies go to die.
