Lovely to read on other social media how someone is upset about paying for free cars because people are fraudulently claiming their children have mental health problems. Meanwhile in the real world, t...

@nprofile1q... From the same people as the the recent, "disabled people can't have nice cars" which totally failed to notice that

1. The cars in question were easier to add driving aids to
2. Tended to go longer between failures which is important for people who's whole mobility depends on them and they last longer
3. They tend to have higher resale value at the end of lease period (iirc these vehicles tend to be on HP style leases) so less sunk cost

Instead of a unity candidate, it would be nice if everyone (even binface!) called Five Million Farage's bluff and just let him return to parliament uncontested.

@nprofile1q... So he's stood down before he get's booted out, but going to run again, so

1. does he think that kills all inquiries?
2. costs his constituency a bunch of money to run an election

I suppose if he actually campaigns it will give the constituents a chance to actually talk to him (since I understand he hasn't actually run any surgeries since being elected)

I have a Pi Zero 2 W that keeps dropping off the network.

It ran fine for a couple of months with a fresh OS install, but it's just started again.

It's running off a official Raspberry Pi PSU and has a powered USB hub to drive the 2 SDRs so I'm 99.5% sure it's not power related.

@nprofile1q... But I get pushed US politics all day by the main stream media & I'm not even in the US & current politics (here & there) is heavily slanted towards manufactured wedge issues.

AI is a similar, for me the moral and environmental arguments against are plenty before we get into the rest.

So I come to a place where I can choose not to engage with it, I block/mute very little, I mainly ignore it if it ends up in my feed.
