The IWW's TEFL branch is without a doubt the most active branch in all of the UK, possibly all the IWW across the world.

    When the media talks about recession (same as your papers, your favourite news site, it's the media in general), they mean "shit's bad and you're struggling". Same in school, when you learn about a recession, you learn about the simplified definition. That's fine. I don't care what your economics book is saying, I deal with real science, not imaginary shit.

    So when people start complaining because their living conditions are getting worse, the same media and the people who suck up to them for some reason (wink wink) come back with "akshully, I think you'll find things aren't that bad because technically, this is not a recession".

    The same thing happens when a government counts "unemployment". They define it in such ridiculously restrictive ways that every time they report on it, it magically goes down.

    "Oh, you've gotten out of bed at least once in the past 12 hours? Well, that's a job, buddy! Well done, you're now self-employed and can't be counted as unemployed." Telling me "unemployment" is down is meaningless and I couldn't care less. Telling me "it's not a recession so everything is fine, trust me bro" is just as meaningless.

    Obviously this is a Labour government so they are not to be trusted to actually carry it out until it's actually carried out and then check what the caveats are.

    Apologies for the KamalaHQ link or the twitter link for that matter. But I didn't bother looking up if anyone else discussed it.

    Yeah........ not buying the "sorry we had to kill hundreds of people, we were just following orders".

    Let's just say that when you resort to the Nuremberg defense, you've lost.

    They come out with all the security updates (anywhere between 2 weeks and a month after Google pushes them out). They don't wait for a feature update to push out security updates.

    It's a bit annoying (I know I'm still not getting it on mine despite the announcements), but their handling it of major updates (performance wise) have been decent on my end. I do love my FP5, but it's a bit hit and miss according to experience I read about online. I know my experience of their headphones (the most recent ones, the wireless buds) has been horrendous but I would recommend the FairPhone personally.

    to be fair to the incompetent people in law enforcement, I do believe "trying to kill a presidential candidate slated to win and being a millimeter away from getting it done" would justify relying on a 0-day.

    Exactly. The article doesn't shy away from a bit of free publicity for Cellerite. Which is nowhere near as much of a magic bullet as the "tech media" makes it out to be.

    How do I know it? By doing the most basic of research by heading to their website and looking at their manuals and documentation.

    And Cellerite won't tell you this publicly because their bottom line depends on their ability to massively overprice their services which they sell to technically illiterate people.

    Any article that mentions Cellerite without a caveat about the dubiousness of their publicity can be disregarded and shouldn't be taken seriously.

    Crossposted from the other site. Hoping it's real because it's great to see young people getting involved and getting a union education. The earlier the better.
