This sounds good then next thing you know you're naked at Stonehenge trying to cut a cow's neck with a sickle.
No leylines, no ai, no magic cloud people.

The UK needs to rely on good old mud and rain and leaden skies.

Sadly the article doesn't link to dag's analysis of the letter he linked to on mastodon.

It's dry lawyer speak but if you're into that it's very funny dry lawyer speak.

Not clicking but if this is the one from a while ago its specifically about plastic teabags. And, like, obviously.

The comments here show the real problem, adverts dont have to say why they've been selected.

All online ads should have to say which filters they matched to advertise to you. The advertising in most cases now is centralised into Google or Facebook, this is absolutely technically possible.

Right, Amazon can do it because their best workers already left or never existed. Gigantic churn rate, terrible reputation.

Waymo is running driverless (or at least remote monitored) taxis all over SF. that's why they're getting headlines, they're out and being used at scale.

I think you've been down voted a little unfairly.

Yellow warnings are useful for people, to know a local stream will flood or to remember to bring in plant pots from the wind etc.

But they're not worth a real news story are they?
