No it’s since the 2008 crash. We fucked up our response to that. Austerity made everything worse. Immigrants and foreigners somehow get blamed for the state of things, and thus Brexit. Which again made everything worse still. All wrapped in 14y of bad Conservative government. Increasing corruption as it gets normalized. Labour has their work cut out for them, or it will be the far right next. (Because the right haven’t done enough damage yet?)
Thank you. I was just not making any sense of this. Now it seams obvious.


I’d argue there is a network effect lockin going on with Google, and it needs fixing by governments. Google, and others, should have to share basic road speed data.
OS Maps are great. You know MapMen? They love OS Maps.

To be honest, even a static DB of recorded road speed using time of day, day of week, time of year, averages, would be a lot better than nothing. It would mean it knows you can’t really go 60 down a bendy, narrow, stone wall lined, single lane, country road. Not and live anyway. So it would stop trying to use them all the time.
But hey, if there is internet, why not query it for the latest?


I only skimmed.
I’m not joking about the Ordnance Survey bit. When I’m on walks, I often am in area with bugger all phone reception (common in the UK) and the quality of the maps means it really is as good.
It’s why the lack of traffic upsets me so, because I’d love to use it in the car as my main maps for Android Auto, but without traffic, that’s just doesn’t work well enouhg.


It’s great in many ways, and maps are great. You can get Ordnance Survey style maps.
BUT it desperately needs traffic information in its route finding. It frequently makes terrible decisions in the absence of this data.


Cost of doing business. Legal for a fee. Etc etc.


This needs to be treated as such a serious crime or we’ll get much more of it. We also need to educate our kids why it’s bad for everyone.
Edit: kids not mids!


By there not being enough consequences for these boys, not only are you making more boys like this, but not doing those boys any favours either. No one mentally healthy is going to want to be with that kind of boy.
Weak parents. Weak schools. Weak government. Failing everyone.
Well that is retrograde of it.
Another cool thing from Plan9:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/filesystems/9p.rst


It’s open. Just compile your own client. Though it’s be allowed on the Signal network. So you have speed up a server too. American and open isn’t a problem.
Got to love UNIX’s everything is a file.
ProcFS is from Plan9. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_9_from_Bell_Labs#/proc
Plan9 is worth a deep dive, but maybe not worth running. It is more UNIX than UNIX. (Also where UTF8 came from.)


Was really just talking about whole remote vs local gaming thing. Latency does depend on the type of game. Some it matters less than others.


There is always a latency issue.

I wish that was true. So Greens just won Dover, “yeah!” except… if you add up the right parties, it is over 50%. So it’s not actually good news. Plus there is still more left parties for the vote to be split over.
I just hope the right can’t consolidate, and that in fact anyone remotely sane on the right goes LibDem rather aligned at all with fascists.
