IMO it should be further than that.

Open source software is, more often than not, used as digital infrastructure.

Governments around the world should absolutely be investing in open source software and actively contributing to it.

Speaking as a British person,

If the problem is our dickheads going over there and ruining the vibe by harassing the locals, sex workers, and pissing everywhere I have a solution:

Turn the whole area into an LGBT area with Gay Bars and Drag Queens and send over a few of our police to coordinate on patrols with the Dutch police.

I’m serious, on a night out on Canal Street in Manchester there is almost no dickheads because:

1. They stay away from Gay Bars because of their own insecure masculinity even though Gay Clubs have better music.

2. The Drag Queens, most of whom act as front of house, ticketing, and head floor management DO NOT suffer fools and anyone harassing or being a knob will be ejected them from the premises quickly.

3. The GM police love working with the Drag Queens who stand outside the clubs trying to convince punters to go inside because they’re an active part of keeping the whole area safe by pointing out antisocial behaviour. Also when they don’t have a dickhead to deal with, they’re having a good chat.

Edit:

Also a belated apology on behalf of my fellow idiot countrymen. Also I’m of the opinion both sex work and recreational marijuana should be legalised and regualted in the UK. Hopefully that would also help with stemming the flow of idiot tourists abroad.

Yeah I wouldn’t ask chatGPT to do research on my behalf, who knows what industry fluff piece article it’s scraped that text from.

Getting started with research, i.e. a first draft at an essay, sure. But you can’t trust the information in these LLMs.

To do that, you’ll need to do some lateral reading.

Indeed, foreign language teaching and translation work are made significantly easier to get into if you have a degree.

I mean it can happen with any scientific & technological concept that reaches wide enough in the collective consciousness.

Moopsy!

Well yeah as it should be when applied carefully: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

Scene from Lower Decks, the ensign bumped into Captain Gomez and dropped some pads.

Moopsy!

Oh I’ll just put this trauma over here with the rest of the traumas.

I still can’t get over the high-pitched voice when they turned the keys on the model Cerritos to enject the warp core.

Makes me giggle everytime.

They feed on toxicity, it’s the only way they know that gets the anger-produced adrenaline flowing through their veins. It’s addictive. Makes them feel alive and living, rather than festering in a rubbish-filled room dying a day at a time.
