RedHat, the first billion dollar open source company gets bought by IBM and goes closed source.

FWIW, I was threatened on Reddit more than once with actual murder… people threatening to come to my house and kill me. Reddit’s general response was to… delete the chat message in question as a “resolution” to my complaint. AFAIK, that was the extent of their action. I at least have the impression that abusive users will be removed, though it might take a bit given the incredible influx of new users.

This is horrible, why do people think they can say this shit? I hope you reported this to the police? I’m pretty much most places this behaviour is illegal. It’s not a good look for Reddit to be complacent with illegal activity on their site.

Edit: massive typos

Yes quite right 👍 you are correct.

I am merely expressing the sentiment that has angered so many.

You have to convince Labour that this is a good idea. Because that’s the limiting factor here. Conservatives aren’t going to support this. Labour needs to get fully behind rejoin for this to happen.

They won’t.

You then could vote Lib Dems into power to rejoin.

You won’t.

The process, known as resomation, uses a mix of potassium hydroxide and water to break down human remains in what is billed as a more sustainable option.

It takes four hours - the bones remain, and are powdered then returned to loved ones in a similar way to ashes, in an urn.

Neat! Quite literally based.

Absolutely no way in hell that a plane carrying Putin would be broadcasting ADSB

What about a way in Russia? 😃

No rain but a pleasant drop in the temperature and a nice breeze. I might instead wait for the post to not show up for the fifth consecutive day 🥲.

Technically it was a majority vote. It’s just the arrogance of the people that set up and agreed to the referendum that thought nobody would vote for it meant that they didn’t define what the majority should be. >50%, 60%, 75% etc. It was a massive failure of state craft made easier because the case to remain hinged on a “if you’re not with us you’re a racist” argument that didn’t go down well to win people over.

Same here. Although I distinctly remember my mortgage provider asking us if we were comfortable if the interest rate went up. Multiple times. I’m pretty sure they “stress tested” our mortgage payments assuming 9 - 10% interest. Of course we told them it would be hard, but still within our budgets then laughed and said it would never happen.

I’ve got sympathy for people in this situation for sure… but how have they managed their household budgets and savings such that this is a shock to them? Or have they over stretched themselves with their mortgage?
