Northern Ireland but thats a whole can of worms as to whether the poster meant UK or GB.
Cymrukicks··on Hamas' social media following has skyrocketed
Hamas and Palestine are two different entities. Considering a march for Palestine as support for Hamas is a big stretch. You wouldn't consider a protest in support of Israel as backing Likud would you?
Cymrukicks··on Detroit wants to be the first big American city to tax land value
Huge problem over in the UK, its called land banking. The scarcity of affordable property combined with some silly planning laws mean that you can double your money if you buy land and simply sit on it for a decade.

Cymrukicks··on The Ministry of Defence is offering soldiers to support armed police in London
I'm pretty disappointed in this from the Met, although I thought my opinion couldn't go lower of them they have managed it. This is not the US, any use of force by the state against citizens should be scrutinised and if warranted officers should be punished. There have been alot of FUD about this case from the press and online but the only questions that matters is "Did the officer have reason to believe that their or another persons life was in imminent danger?" A Judge and Jury will decide that as the CPS believe there is a case to answer.

You're exactly right, I think the watch form factor is where I see it going aswell. I can't understand why companies are throwing millions into developing a light weight Pipboy as the next big think. A phone is mostly a content consumer at this point. Sell me screen freedom with voice as the primary interface for the OS.

Cymrukicks··on Tired of Dating Apps, Some Turn to Google Docs
Modern dating apps are terrible because they have taken all the mechanics used in the gambling industry and use that to fleece users. I hope this generation makes a conscious decision to go backwards in the search for love. Love isn't convenient and its not supposed to be.
Cymrukicks··on Tired of Dating Apps, Some Turn to Google Docs
Yeah but you have to deal with the homophobia and judgement of other members if you want to date around and not immediately settle. The church had a such huge role in western society but squandered it.
Cymrukicks··on We found a genius way to revive a poisoned river [video]
Its clearly a breakdown of politics and the law that they can get away with this scot free globally. How soon before these companies are just attacked by mobs as restitution pollution of an area is in itself a form of violence one that goes seemingly unpunished.

Cymrukicks··on Study finds billions of nanoplastics released when microwaving containers

Cymrukicks··on Europe to ChatGPT: disclose your sources
Sorry doesn't look like your are getting it. Its not about AI its about personal data. Whether AI is using this or any other program, EU citizens have a right to know and request removal of that personal data. Open AI need to allow users to do this same as anybody else if this reveals trade secrets then so be it.
Cymrukicks··on Dutch payment processor iDeal to become European standard
This is very interesting, I thought that with PSD2 this would lead to banks developing their own solution which more than a few did. I can see what this really offers in a post PSD2 world other than a brand. I don't see Mastercard of Visa being to worried for the moment either but if I'm Klarna I'd be looking to integrate with this ASAP and you've got a serious bemoth.

You also make the professors available to children from those inner city areas widening the networking effects that the children of the professor gets. they won't be as good but you open them up.

Improving objective outcomes is some Krypton level shit, "Your a black doctor and were trained to be one from birth due to the outcome we wanted." "I wanted to be an artist."
