Who cares what he has to say on Ukraine?

Imo, the L should be a series of progressively smaller Ls tucked into each other at the right angle, and the O should be a series of progressively smaller concentric circles.
Also after seeing that I have to keep doing double-takes reading my own post, none of the letters look right

From that description I’d say it is effectively a punishment for protesting I think you have a point but the word "effectively" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here

Go is flawed but so are all the programming languages I've ever used. The author raises some valid criticisms imo but I'm not sure what the point is supposed to be. Go is good for some use-cases and not for others

It might be offensive to some people, but even if it doesn't offend it makes you sound like a weirdo. This has nothing to do with LGBTQ+ politics

Saying that this is keeping up with changing trends of what is politically correct language implies that there was a time when referring to women as "females" outside the context of a biology lesson didn't sound weird as hell. Have you got any sources for mass usage of the term in that way from the past?

Thanks Obama

For me this is the most appropriate instance as far as I can tell. The other instances mostly seem to be run for countries in which I do not live or for interests which I am not especially interested in

Are you not mistaken here? Does FOSS not mean "free as in free speech, not as in free beer"? I.e. it does not necessarily mean offering the software to you for zero cost, it means that once you have acquired it (whether you paid for it or it was given away) you can do with it what you wish

This guy is president of Ukraine while I'm just a dumb nobody that hasn't read the article, that being said all these quotes from Zelensky that it could mean "a third world war" - or somewhere else I saw him quoted as saying that if Ukraine falls the rest of Europe will be next - seem like really obvious bullshit to get the EU/US more involved.
I'm saying this cos I think the latter quote (that I'm attributing to him here without a source) was attached to a plea for the US to do a no-fly-zone over Ukraine, which seems like it really might lead to world war 3

 

20 police officers entered a student flat without a warrant, but police are "unable to locate any Body Worn Video footage... as a list of... officers... who were assisting with the operation, was not retained"

Apparently "several learnings will be implemented" but it doesn't sound like anyone is facing any actual consequences.

Apparently the police & crime commissioner for Avon & Somerset, Mark Shelford (@ShelfordMark on twitter), has been asked to investigate, but he's not quoted in the article and I haven't seen any comment from him.

Note that this is not the same event as when police broke into a student's flat and handcuffed them in a state of undress, even though they'd got the wrong flat (and also faced no consequences), that was a different incident: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jul/17/it-was-humiliating-police-apologise-for-handcuffing-undressed-student-in-raid

 

"Days of negotiations at the G7 leaders summit in Cornwall failed to set an end-date for coal after the U.S. and Japan blocked a deal."
