That trailer was beautiful. Even if you have no interest in buying the game it’s well worth a watch

If you've been drinking it out of a bottle, you've actually been having Burton beer for over a decade

I dont get why they didn't just call that update 11.0? Or use that for this update?

I guess if you're changing the semantics of your version numbers its also a good idea to introduce a deliberate discontinuity to mark the change?

Its a british thing. If a company wants to lay off a large amount of employees, they have to go through a process called consultation. This obliges them to sit down with your trade union rep (if you have one) and tell them why your job is being cut.

Not sure how much difference it makes in practice, but at the very least it guarantees a 40 day period between announcing redundancies and actually firing people.

Probably relevant that most GNU projects have a limit to how big a change you can make without signing a copyright waiver. My guess is that the logic here is "if its small enough that a human doesn't need to sign a waiver, it can be produced by an LLM"

I don't think it's actually about longer days. Its suggesting that too much time indoors (away from bright natural light) degrades sleep

He's resigning but contesting the resulting by-election.

I guess the logic is that he's about to get suspended, which would likely trigger a by-election anyway, so he'd rather do it in his own terms.

Funny thing is that winning this self-imposed by-election doesn't necessarily stop the recall election from happening shortly thereafter. He's just as likely to get suspended if he wins again, and it still only takes 10% of the electorate to be pissed off with him to trigger it again.

Maybe he'd win both contests, but I could also see the people of Clacton deciding that he's become a liability and opting for e.g. a Restore candidate instead.

Honestly I'm wondering if this is his way of trying to make an exit but saving some face and blaming the establishment?

I had no issues when my domain was registered with GoDaddy. It was shortly after switching to porkbun that the issues started. Porkbun blamed nominet and nominet blamed porkbun. Not sure what actually happened, but it does seem related to nominet's policy about who can hold a .uk domain

Nominet manages the .UK domain, and they're a bit funny about proof of residence. Not sure I had to give Porkbun any photo ID, but the did temporarily suspend my domain. Took forever to clear up.

IMO the moral if the story is avoid ccTLDs (though now I have it I'm sticking with it for as long as I can).

Yeah, this has been going on since way before the conflict in the middle east. Temporary workers are basically a loophole to get around labour rights
