It will depend on the books maybe someone already has read them can chime in. But I saw a post like this for golang, and everyone in the comments were saying the books were ai generated crap.
Nah I think it was a company called “Packt” that everyone in the thread was complaining about so hopefully this one is different. But for sure would love to hear from someone who has read them.
Question because I don’t remember. I am registered to vote via post because I’m currently living abroad. I re-registered a month or two ago because I knew this was coming. Now I’m registered already, what do I have to do? Does my ballot just come in the post automatically? Or do I need to trigger it somehow?
I don’t know what being fine means though! I can just sit back and relax and check my postbox in a week? Or in 4-5 weeks? Or I need to print something off and send it myself? I couldn’t find anything actually describing the entire process on the gov website…
Yeah but, option a) someone who supports genocide but wants to make your life more difficult or option b) someone who supports genocide but what’s to try and make your life better?
If they both believe the same thing on one topic, then you can cancel that topic out and only look at the other policies…it’s really not that difficult of a concept to get. Obviously, no genocide would be great, but if that literally isn’t an option, then just vote for the one that isn’t also actively trying to screw you’re over personally.
Look I’m not American so I don’t really have a horse in this race. But it seems to me, unless you have a revolution and burn the entire system to the ground and build it back up, it makes 0 sense to “boycott” the democrats because then you will just end up with right wing genocide instead of centerist genocide. (If you can even say democrats are Center, where I’m from they are still right wing!)
Of course not. But allowing their political rival (who also supports the thing you want to protest against) to win because you get apathetic and don’t vote is the most idiotic thing I’ve ever heard of.
I thought the Ferrari name would be sacred enough to not add a sponsor to, but I guess they had to swallow their pride on this one! Shame it’s such a shitty company with a shitty logo!
Don’t get me wrong, I will probably cave at the last minute and vote SNP again for a number of reasons. Mostly, being supportive of a number of their progressive policies that I have benefited from over the years, and also because my constituency is a two horse race between them and the Tories who I will never vote for. Though...
I don’t see the point really. Been having this conversation recently with someone who said the same. The problem is, while technically it’s counted as spoiled for the statistics, it’s effectively voting for no change. If you are unhappy with the state of things then you have to vote for the lesser of all evils imo. Voting tactically is what everyone who wants to spoil should do I think. Unless they are somewhat happy with the current situation and don’t want change ofc.
No party is perfect, and obviously it’s still a little early to tell as I will read the manifestos of all, except the conservatives this year as just their behaviour recently has been enough to tell them to get fucked.
But it’s voting for nobody. So it doesn’t actually count for anything. The only way it would, would be if “spoiled ballots” “wins” by having the most, then ever running MP in that constituency has to step down, be replaced by someone else and the election re-ran. But that will never ever happen so it’s futile to spoil imo.

Lenovo is doing a reversal when it comes to the repairability of its ThinkPad T series: The new Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 features two SO-DIMMs and a user-replaceable internal battery. To prove its progress in modularity, the Chinese manufacturer had it reviewed by iFixit - the new ThinkPad laptop scored a near perfect 9.3/10.
Well I look forward to seeing the result. Quite frankly the t14s we have is stupid, the easily replaceable keyboard of the t460 days are long gone, and the WiFi card that has failed 3 times already within my company is glued to the mobo. Anything that lets me do a quick repair myself instead of having to phone a call centre and book a technician will be highly appreciated.
Let’s say they do kill whales. I’m guessing these people still want renewable energy right? You can’t eat your cake and have it too. What’s the alternative? “Lend based wind farms kill birds” “nuclear power plants are unsafe and still generate dangerous waste” fuck me, I’ve heard so many excuses over the years, there are downsides to all options, but we need to do something, so stop whining!
