BBC News: Sir John Curtice: Greens' win means future of British politics is more uncertain than ever

What could it be about this elderly, white academic that leads him to split the voting blocks into "working class voted Reform" and "British Asians voted Green", as if there's no working class British Asians 🤔 It's almost as if there's another aspect to the Reform-voting working class people 🧐

In case people didn't know, Creative Commons has been on the side of "screw your rights and livelihood, it's fair use" regarding GenAI training since at least 2021. https://creativecommons.org/2021/0...

Oh, and the EFF leans the same way on "screw your creativity, big tech is right on GenAI".

Which probably shouldn't be surprising given some of their previous "screw the humans, let's be absolutist" stances on other legal arguments.

The new "AI" license 'signals' are interesting as a development (assuming anyone honours them when companies mass pirated commercial creative works!) but not a surprise (and apparently don't include a "no" option, because that's elsewhere in a spec and this is for granularity of yes)

Apparently it's possible for a `apt upgrade` to lock you out of your server because it prompted you for whether to accept the new SSHD config and now your server isn't listening?!

WTF kind of half-baked and dangerous system is Ubuntu?

Wondered why I couldn't start a new SSH session. Switched back and found the tmux tab with `apt` prompting me to keep or replace. Accept that. Apt finishes the update. SSH sessions start working.

Ubuntu is NOT ready for production usage!

I'd feel safer if @nprofile1q... had virtual TTY access on their Raspberry Pis, like on the virtual servers 😬

@nprofile1q... I guess the problem with "using URI schemes properly" is that it's then its own barrier, because you need SOMETHING to open the links. Which is fine once you're on some form of fediverse and have an app, but means the Average Joe user wouldn't be able to follow a link to a toot *unless* all browsers implemented some default "assume a web UI and open that over HTTPS instead" behaviour.

Maybe a "web+…" scheme makes that easier (or at least now semantically correct) to implement?
