What's interesting is that this exact set of technologies leads to decision paralysis in centralized organizations:

The problem here is a structural one, a function of hierarchy, where the direction of the flow of power determines what technology can do and how it can e used.
In a distributed network, this information is used by a central system to distribute data back to people so they can make the most informed decision. In a centralized network, this information is used to increase the power of central control node. It's a question of who is helping whom, who is autonomous and who is support.

Bought new bluetooth headphones, work excellently on my phone.
Try the laptop: problems, go around in circles, badmouth Linux.
Pause, deep breath, think: disconnect from BT on phone, connect the right device, realise Linux just works, excellent sound on laptop too.

There's an outbreak of Gender Ideology & it goes like this:
There are only 2 sexes, whose boundaries must not be blurred
Men: strong, workers, fighters, leaders, must have sex only with women
Women: empathetic, carers, nurturing, must have sex only with their husbands (& only for procreation)

Some story for the rowers among you: earlier today a bus crashed into the Seine near Paris; the four occupants were saved by two rowing coaches who were on the scene within a minute.

Macra na Feirme person: "young people from farming backgrounds building on family-owned land"
1: already exemptions for them
2: they represent a TINY %age of the demand
MnF is for it because farmers like selling sites.
