  • Because the IRA didn’t truly give up violence. They had Sinn Fein for that.

    MLK was ignored, and the Black Panthers showed what could happen if you ignore them.

    Gandhi wasn’t recognised by the British until the terrorist acts and rebellions in India.

    The violence isn’t the “solution”, it is the response to the negotiations being ignored. Its the “good cop/bad cop” in all these situations. There are plently of peaceful groups who have been working towards better healthcare, but made no progress. This is the point where they can start saying

    Either you work with us, or deal with them 🤷‍♀️

    And it’s exactly how the IRA got the negotiations going. It may take a while but its the same pattern.




  • That’s not what I said. Their fundraising is dead because they don’t need to raise any more cash.

    They literally throw cash away each month. Without Googles dump truck money I am sure they could increase fundraising to raise what they actually need to operate. Not that they could increase fundraising to match Googles current contributions.

    Are they dependent?

    All I see is Google throwing a fuck tonne of money at them, and Mozilla spaffing it on pointless crap. They could probably raise more if Google went away, but they could also reduce spend significantly if they didn’t have stupid money get thrown at them.

    Its like giving your kids $100 a day. Sure they could blow it on pay to win games, but what would happen if you reduced it to $10 a day? Probably nothing of note, just less spending on crap.


  • As per the initial comment, those that didn’t vote Tory mostly moved to Reform not to LibDem.

    Because LibDem wouldn’t make sense, as a pro-trans, pro-EU, pro-increase tax to pay for public services party they don’t offer anything that Tories want.

    That was a wishful thinking comment that some Tories might want to not move far-right, those that find the Tories unpalatable due to their shitty views have already moved.

    I would suggest that your more likely to find folks who voted LibDem to move to Green now that they’ve rebranded themselves to something other than crusty hippies. I know my mother moved from voting LibDem to Green.









  • Gradle, with it’s transitive dependency modifications is a huge pain in this area.

    It used to be that if a library ended up having a flaw then it would be flagged and we would get the dependency updated. These days security block the “security risk” and you have to replace your dependencies dependency. Fingers crossed you can get it to actually test all the code paths.

    If an second level project gets a flaw, and it’s used indirectly then we should really look at getting the import updated so that we know it works. If that import is abandoned then we should not be updating that second level dependency, either adopt and fix the first level dependency or look at an alternative.
