We'll see what he tells parliament, but IMO it's reasonable for him to follow the science, get more trials done ASAP and approve the medicine if the evidence shows. As long as these kids get appropriate care in the meantime without delay.
Approving medicine counter to scientific advice sets a bad precedent, may cause more issues, and might attract lawsuits from terfs etc.
AI is going to become more convincing by reading articles like this and learning what not to say (e.g. hockey match)
Government should only be afraid of losing the next election - they should never be afraid of their life or family's life for doing their job.
Politicians need to balance opinions from different groups of people, so even the best politicians can never please everyone all of the time. Taking choices you disagree with does not mean they should be afraid for their lives.
As much as I disagree with many choices of politicians, they should never be threatened in any way.
Well, it looks like reverting to Stable seemed to at least partially fix it for me. The keyboard is still higher on the screen, but at least it fits to the screen width correctly. Thanks!
I couldn't find any mention of anyone else with this issue around the web or on valve's GitHub issue tracker, so I assumed it was something dumb I'd done rather than a bug.
I am currently on the latest beta - I'll test the stable/preview channels in case that makes a difference.
This is getting boring; there's been so many articles about this over the last few weeks.
Starmer's and Reeves' statements about this do not totally contradict. They've both said they want to invest, but they've decided that they won't staple themselves to the £28bn figure due to the Tories fucking shit up in the economy. I can't say I necessarily agree with this, but that's what has happened.
They intentionally removed this feature years ago. It was possible to reenable via a dconf setting for a while but I believe that was also eventually removed.
So annoying.
Yeah, this isn't that bad. It's just a suggestion after running an apt upgrade. NPM has similar plugs which I don't find too annoying.
In fact its not even as intrusive as NPM's funding requests, as it is only 2 lines of text, plus it looks like Ubuntu Pro is free for personal use.
I'm on the fence about all this. In a utopia, a ceasefire would be ideal of course, but Israel aren't going to listen to suggestions like that, especially when they believe that a ceasefire would be a risk for them in terms of allowing Hamas to regroup. Whether that is a real risk I don't know, but either way I can't see a ceasefire happening in the immediate future until Israel have completed their objectives, regardless of what pressure comes from the UK.
The "humanitarian pauses" do make sense to me, as it would save lives whilst allowing Israel to keep their tactical advantage over Hamas.
But it seems Israel won't even do the bare minimum of a pause in bombing civilians, so what chance do we have of a ceasefire?
I understand the principled side of standing up for a ceasefire even if it seems unlikely, but the government's (and Keir's) POV does also make a kind of sense, to save Palestinian lives in a way that Israel is more likely to agree to.
Here's the sequel after they realised there were scientific inaccuracies in the original
