I mean, it did happen under a Conservative government, and Sunak defended his failure to declare an interest by saying that he wasn't privy to his wife's business interests.

It's quite possible that it's that very scandal that prompted Starmer to seek additional guidance.

If you have listened to Electric Avenue, you will understand why Eddie Grant may have been particularly outraged by Trump using it.

Well, there you are again. You said "my questioning of what you claimed". That isn't self reflection. If you aren't asking in bad faith, you need to spend more time on your wording.

The downvotes are because it seemed that you were asking in bad faith. You said "I believe it is true", but now you say (admit) that you were questioning it.

They say "she was being fed the questions". What would be the point of being fed the questions while you are on stage?!

I know that what they really mean is that she was being fed the answers. It just shows exactly how little effort they put into these claims.

The attraction of Linux is precisely that it isn't one of the two 'standards'. Your working environment doesn't get determined by some product manager in a far-away office, who has a set of target users in mind, which he's given fictional names, biographies and mugshots.

He's just a confused old man.

You're thinking about Mr Biden again, sir. Don't you worry about it. Let's check your diaper and get you back to the TV Room, OK? Don't forget your special red hat.

As far as I can tell, Microsoft tried to hold off these anti-trust lawsuits by intentionally making the interoperability and feature-parity between its products shockingly bad.

Destroyed? Let's talk about that.

As you know, Stonehenge has been standing in the rain for 3,000 years.

Following the industrial revolution, fossil fuel emissions made that acid rain. It attacked every cultural artifact standing outdoors for decades.

I think that the people who did that belong behind bars.

They'll probably publish the abridged version, sadly. The full version reads, as we well know:

Thou shall not commit adultery but, if thou doest, thou shalt pay off the other woman so that it harmeth not thy chances in the presidential election. Nor shall it turn thy supporters against thee when they heareth of it.

I basically agree with all of that, but it was totally possible to upgrade the auth system and keep it separate from Microsoft. Obviously Microsoft wouldn't do that, but that's kind of the point, isn't it?

It's good of the author to extend Futo the benefit of the doubt in this way.

The very first paragraph of their definition is: "Open source just means access to the source code.". If they are really that unfamiliar with the software industry, then their code must be a horror show. Personally, I think they know exactly what they are doing.
