I'd like to think that we all agree that you would be arrested for saying things in person (hate crimes, etc) would be the same things you'd be arrested for saying online... i'd place the line about there.

However, there are cases which do cross the line... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9dj1zlvxglo

And that’s where you’d be wrong - lots of us belief that speech should not be a cause for arrest except in the most extreme circumstances. Hurting someone’s feelings is not that

what is an extreme circumstance?

At least in the UK, hate speech is a crime and is punishable by law, whether people agree or disagree is irrelevant, I do believe that if it's illegal on the street it should be illegal online, obviously in the relevant jurisdiction.


This is probably one of the best ones https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9dj1zlvxglo

Edit: I believe they are now getting compensation for a 'wrongful arrest' which, sounds entirely deserved.


I don't know. You can bet these people were being obnoxious sh*ts to teachers and trying to rally some online mob to get their way. No much sympathy from me, even if arrest (and not a stern telling off and being told to set a good example for their kids and behave like adults) was a bit much.


Yeah I can imagine, I know the sort, however you can't really assume that as you don't know them, people have a right to be upset if their children's education is at stake and in some cases the schools management can be the 'obnoxious sh*ts'.

What is clear though is there has been some abuse of power by the police. I wondered if someone at the school 'knows' someone in the police, which made it go so far.


Yellow=beach/sand?

It’s a bit odd, the markers tend to be on places/towns. But some towns that are red I know for a fact also have a beach.

Not sure what the split of colours is for.

Not an expert, but do prefer PoE.

It’s better in public places because it’s neater and less likely for a randomer to pull the plug/switch it off.

I’m sure there’s other reasons.

For phones on people’s desks it’s nice to have less cables/plugs too.


Perhaps the reasoning is not that you will abuse it. But could other people abuse it and use it against you.

If you try to paste anything into the dev tools in Chrome, it forces you to specifically allow pasting because scammers have convinced people to do it over the phone to con them into something. How I’m not quite sure.


Security concerns are one thing that hold Shortcuts back, but a lot of the stuff just doesn't work. It's pretty half assed. For example, sending messages is broken and according to forum posts has been for a few years.

It's pretty obvious that automation for non-developers is not a priority at Apple.


Gotta jump in here.

Working full time for someone and doing a side hustle is hard, from experience.

What I’ve found is that trying to do the side hustle takes away from a lot time spent with your dependants, which you will never get back, unless you are lucky enough to “make the break”

Not impossible, and you’ve got to try and find a balance. But it just may never happen.


Agree, it has to be time-boxed - burn out risk is real.

I'm fortunate that I don't mind getting up early and I hate morning TV/radio/news, so I can find an extra hour for myself each day.


But how do we deploy Vitodeploy? Can someone borrow me a deployed version of Vitodeploy so I can deploy mine? /s

This looks decent, I wanted to build this once a few years ago, before Forge existed. will give this a try.


You can just install it on your local machine


I feel this could also be Apple collecting common replacements from their customers devices and applying the suggestions to updated dictionaries. They must collect that data from devices, I would have thought.


But the point of the feature is to write the words the user dictates, isn't it? So if it correctly recognized the word "racist", why would it replace it with "Trump"? The application must know that's not what the user dictated.

The most likely explanation to me is that Apple probably has a feature which automatically replaces expletives so that users don't accidentally send messages with offensive language that was not intended. It's probably a simple substitution which maps known expletives to suitable replacements. A disgruntled developer probably added this substitution and, for whatever reason, it didn't get caught until it hit production. I don't know if this is true, but it seems like a reasonable explanation to me.


Except, it’s had 5 new chains, 2 cranksets, 10 seats, 2 rear wheels, 4 front wheels and one frame.
