Flat illustration from 2022 of owls perched on a branch at night against a dark blue sky. The owls decrease in size as they get close stacked in front, while also growing bright orange. The effect resembles a flame. The owls, back to front (large to small) are Great Gray, Great Horned, Long-eared, Screech, and Saw-whet.

Nick Clegg is stepping down from Meta year after trump was elected.
The political sphere is becoming favourable for him.
This is just Nick signalling to wealthy tech lobbyists he is willing to suck their dicks if they get him back into some form of political power after having worked for Meta.

People are lazy man, they just want to consume.
It’s like the Qing Dynasty era of China all over again.

I do like that furaffinity is one the last true and free bastions of the old internet.
And for that reason I encourage anyone to support them if you can, along with Wikipedia etc.

When freaking Palantir pulls out of the government ID scheme and tells the government it’s undemocratic and nobody voted for it, you KNOW it’s a terrible idea.

In a big monster chase through the depths of a hive city an extra set of limbs helps keep up with the slipperiest of creatures! Still, its a struggle to move all those tons through such confined spaces

I did with regard to the OSA
But no, they don’t care, not until they realise their voter sentiment is actually going out the window, politicians are always reactive and very seldom pro-active

I hope so, like when they asked for the back door into IOS devices and apple just crossed their arms and said “how?”

Conell @conell.bsky.social · 8d

I was amazed when mine actually addressed the points regarding the OSA she didn’t agree with me and stuck to the governments angle but I think she actually read my email.
Or it was an AI reply who knows.

Government responded to digital ID petition.

And of course they are ignoring us as with every other petition :)

My local MP is probably sick of seeing my name in her inbox at this point too.

Bio sciences is coming a long way, I personally believe that instead of technology that’s where more money should being pumped to because it has the potential to really benefit everyone.
And the systems are already developed from the past however many millions of years.
