Yes - that page was them announcing its shutdown

Brilliant! If some subeditor doesn’t put that as a headline …

police have arrested a man for failing to update his PDF reader, he is described as mid 30s, brown hair and has no fixed adobe

If only they had some database where they could check stuff like this … oh wait www.cia.gov/stories/stor...

Makes me happy I managed to find a physical disc copy of BF6 at CEX for €30 rather than forking out nearly €100 for a digital download … I’ve played BF1, BFV, BF2042 but if I’d known this I would not have bought it. Can’t imagine I’ll buy any future BF title.

There’s no “F*** no!” Option

A cousin lives in France. She had to have a hip operation. GP referred her to a consultant in the public service - the following week. He said “would next week be ok?” She assumed for another consultation. He said “no, for the operation”. In Cavan the wait is 9 months to see a consultant.

It’s also about gatekeeping and censoring. If they have the information digitally, and there is no physical copy, they can decide who sees the information, or indeed edit it into a version they want you to see.

As someone else here noted - most government schemes require an up to date tax clearance certificate…

Recipe for recipe.

Another point it highlights is the absence of auditors and inspectors. It feels like some authorities feel auditing can be “inconvenient”.

As data centres use 23% of all generated power will they pay 23% of the cost?

And people don’t realise when a TD requests information from a government organisation to an answer a PQ, that organisation has to prioritise it so it is deeply disruptive.

A lot of parliamentary procedure in many parliaments is basically “gentlemens’ agreements”. Johnson and Trump realised this and I’m fearful of it happening here.

We tend to attribute human intelligence to AI but in this case it’s like a burglar trying a million door handles on a million locks in under a second, to find the unlocked one. It’s the sheer scale of doing simple tasks.

Another state body caught blatantly lying. And if public money is being used, commercial considerations must take 2nd place to transparency. Don’t like it? Don’t take public money.

Collison had given $7M to a campaign to stop a one off wealth tax on billionaires. He's still miles behind Sergey Brin ($82M), but what a massive and continued disappointment these guys are. www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

I was going to comment on this, but also saw he supports Brenda Power so thought, “f*** it- life’s too short” and blocked.

Why are we not surprised that “service providers” put profits over service? Why does the state not run these services? www.rte.ie/news/health/...

Very well said!
