My opinion is pretty much based on their manifesto. I don’t see how they can do anything progressive when their mandate is based on that bag of shite.

Britain left of centre ? . . . these are blairites, “labour” in name only , they literally propped up the second homes buy to let market through the 2000s. and they’d gladly privatise every public service we have left if they can. I’ve already heard shit like “individualised healthcare” being mentioned in their “think tanks”.

They’re probably not worse than the tories, and they probably will fuck it up less, that’s about all you can hope for them.

They aren’t going to tackle anything fundamental like bank regulation, promoting domestic investment, industrial strategy or developing public services.

I hope France gets a lot better.

Yes agreed. It also seems to change very often. so as soon as you do figure out how to do something, it changes.

I also wish it didn’t allow shared documents at all, it’s actually worse than sharepoint at that. The number of people who think it works though, then you have talk them through how to find the shared ducument (as if i can remember) and actually share it effectively. Waste of time because its pretendng to do something that it is quite bad at.

It was so much more usable when it was just skype/lync and it just did calls, screenshare and chat.

53% of my time is spent looking for CASE statements without an END. This is 99% human error - does that count?

All 0.4% of the user base or whatever it is? Unless you mean among the population of server admins.

Oracle vies with MS as to who fucks me more often each working week. Cuurrently Oracle is pippng MS for biggest fucker award. If you don’t understand, you’ve never had to use Oracle (front end / web UI products - tbf the back end DB usually works ok).

Please don’t get a job where you have windows, cloud, sharepoint , dynamics and one drive forced on you (plus a load of oracle). it makes you fucking hate computers.

Right whales too - with a metric tonne of balls to bring to the party - they are made for lovin’ not fightin’:

Right whales form large mating aggregations, which can include several males seeking access to a female. However, unlike humpback whale competitive groups, male right whales do not engage in aggressive displays. One female may successively mate with several males, and it is believed that males compete to pass their genes to the next generation through quantity of sperm they deliver when they mate, rather than fighting for access to females. This theory is supported by the fact that male right whales have the largest testes of any animal on earth (up to 500 kg each), as well as extremely large penises.

Intelligence is a very loaded word and not very precise in general usage. And i mean that amongst humans and animals as well as robots.

I’m sure the real AI and compsci researchers have precise terms and taxonomies for it and ways to measure it, but the word itself, in the hands of marketing people and the general population as an audience . . . not useful.

Proposal fot extension to 4: Convicted Unrepentant Narcissist . . .?

I’m going to guess it wasn’t a decision, so much as tech availability and pricing. radar, sonar, more powerful boats with bigger trawl nets.

If they’d had that stuff earlier it’d be the same tragedy of the same commons.
