I’m not against the whole “get off twitter” thing, but I’m not sure it’s true that the offences don’t require intent. e.g. if someone emailed you something awful you wouldn’t have committed a crime just because you saw it.

In the original 1982 book (set in, er, 2025), the protagonist enters the Running Man show because his daughter is ill and he can't afford medicine for her. So, same difference really.

They're right that I, for example, will vote whichever way is most likely to keep Farage out. It's a big assumption however that I will think that voting Labour (in Starmer's own constituency) will be most likely to keep Farage out in 2029.

I recently upgraded to a higher-resolution (as in pixels-per-cm rather than pixels-in-total) HDR monitor and it's very noticeably better. And making websites these days you need to at least think about if you want to provide high-resolution images as well as standard-res ones (or just use SVG).

You're not wrong: 200 leaders from over 40 different religions in "Towards a Global Ethic" at the Parliament of the World's Religions in 1993 declared that the Ethic of Reciprocity, a.k.a. the Golden Rule, i.e. "We must treat others as we wish others to treat us" is a global moral axiom.

If you've found that that works for you at all, let alone reliably, you should probably go and buy a bunch of lottery tickets because your luck is spectacular.

I’ve been programming for 40 years and I doubt I could get a Windows PC to share files successfully, reliably, and safely in under an hour, never mind then setting up other Windows and non-Windows devices to talk to the first one. Normal people have no chance.

Sang what? "Ooh baby do you know what that's worth? / A six pound blender from Carlisle, England"? "They say in Carlisle, blenders come first? / We'll make Carlisle a place on earth"?
