June the 13th was quite nice

Prions - Actually nightmarish.

Russia had large reserves of money at the start of the war which allowed them to ride out the initial sanctions. They also massively pivoted their econony to produce military equipment because of the amount of equipment they were losing. Neither of those are sustainable for long and the only cards they have left are (greatly discounted) oil sales to China and India, and conscription (which would be incredibly unpopular) which is why they have been using North Korean soldiers.

All of this is like a hole in Russia’s fuel tank, which would be ok if they could finish the war quickly, but their advance has been so slow that the frontlines are mere kilometers from where they were two years ago and if this doesn’t change they will run out of steam and be unable to continue.

They could stop paying their CEO so much and hire a few more devs, refocus their identity on privacy and performance (their offline ai translation is actually really useful), and actually give people the sense that their donations will be well spent.

Asking an llm isn’t research, he might as well have been consulting a magic 8 ball.

Half Life came out in 1998 (27 years ago) and this post is from 2003 (22 years ago). Half Life is retro gaming.

Both were supported by Russia to weaken the UK

All I see is *******?

The sandboxing is part of the point, having a permissions model that puts the user in control of what programs are allowed to do is critical.

I haven’t cited any laws or said what they did was wrong, just that the government doesn’t like having its toys broken. Absolutely setting fire to a nazi train may be the morally correct thing to do, but you can still understand the nazis not being happy about it: these aren’t mutually exclusive propositions.

I think the better question is ‘Does what they did justify them being classed as terrorists’ rather than ‘Were they entrapped by government agents’.

Jet engines may react poorly with paint in the intakes. Those aircraft will need to be inspected and possibly repaired/maintained before they are allowed in the air again. That is sabotage.

It’s not even really a Labour issue, support for Israel has been a long standing policy (partly because the UK was largely responsible for the creation of Israel back in the 1920s) and the motion to proscribe Palestine Action was broadly supported by every party. Regardless of the morality it was completely obvious and expected that breaking into a military base and damaging expensive aircraft was going to have consequences.

‘Palestine Action’ definitely refers to the group, otherwise you’d just put ‘Palestine’. I don’t think they did this to protest ant-terrorism laws, they’ve been very focused on targeting the genocide in Palestine so starting a new off-topic fight wouldn’t make sense for them.

I don’t think there’s any need for false flag conspiracy theories. Palestine Action took credit for breaking into Brize Norton. I can only assume they thought it would generate enough attention to be worth the risk.

It certainly made proscribing them an easy sell; you won’t find many people who think it’s unreasonable of the government to take a dim view of sabotage.

Hopefully it won’t distract too much from the bigger story of almost everyone apart from the government taking a dim view of genocide.

It’s a specific group that recently broke into an RAF base and started mucking about with the aircraft, hence why the government aren’t their biggest fans.

Shortly after they did this they were designated as a terrorist group by the home office which is why public support is an offence.
