Government ministers are bound by collective responsibility and so if Milliband states something definitively it is taken as government policy. All other members of government would be expected to say the same thing.

So the weasel words here are because it’s not agreed government policy that they should leave X. I expect they haven’t discussed it. If he’s more definitive it would potentially expose a split in opinion within the government (Oh the horror!).

Understand the code words. His opinion is that they should leave. This is his way of making it a topic for discussion in the government.

Also China require local representatives in subsidiaries management in China, possibly even Chinese leadership. The Dutch are only playing from the same rulebook.

At that size it should be capable of solving significant problems, but there absolutely no mention of what it could be applied to.

Whilst building it is interesting and an achievement, it’s greatly diminished if nobody does anything with it.

Safer than ChatGPT you say? Wow…

That isn’t a high bar.

I’m with you. I think the markets are going to be demanding results very soon now. When they do…Nvidia, Meta, Google, X, Microsoft stock prices are all going to go into free-fall.

Datacentres powered by coal are bad. Cruise ships are worse.

Coal Vs Marine fuel. You’ve picked the kings of pollution.

Coal is worse for CO2. The free carbon it releases binds with oxygen in the atmosphere to produce more CO2 mass than the coal itself. It’s crazy how much CO2 it generates.

Heavy fuel oil / bunker oil / marine fuel is cheap ass shit that contains masses of pollutants. So whilst it won’t generate as much CO2, it will create a load of other stuff including Sulphur Dioxide. That creates acid rain.

Here’s an idea. Let’s do neither of them.

Which is what Textsecure was. The precursor to Signal. Signal did it too, but removed it because it confused stupid people.

Signal has never done that. Whilst the app might not be available in some regions they’ve been proud to talk about how people can use it to avoid government barriers.

How steep is the learning curve there? Should I just go with Plex and keep it simple?

You’ve got it the wrong way round. Jellyfin is simple. I’ve never understood Plex.

I’m quite impressed Arch comes out on top

You are, if you’re calling for Apple like features.

You might argue that “private cloud” is privacy preserving, but you can only implement that with the cash of Apple. I would also argue that anything leaving my machine, to a bunch of servers I don’t control, without my knowledge is NOT preserving my privacy.
