It’s the one where I clicked “No AI” and the results page thanked me for voting yes!

… the fact DDG is not doing AI.

They are, unless you opt out.

Also, lots have apps have the main duckduckgo as a search option. I’ve not seen any have the noai as an option.

Well, why did you think they forced bytedance to sell the US arm to a joint venture controlled by his chums?

More seriously how it s twisted ?

Well, someone descended from migrants hating later migrants is pretty twisted and a bit self-loathing, don’t you think? There’s got to be something wrong to want to change the rules so you wouldn’t have existed if those rules had been in place years earlier.

Also how britain is an immigrant nation ? It s a 2000 year old country. Immigration wasnt even possible in scale 100 year ago because transportation wasnt good enough.

The country of Great Britain is only just over 300 years old, but let’s pretend you meant England, which is just under 1100 years old. Boats have existed for a long time, but you’re right that they weren’t readily available to everyone, so early mass immigration events were often linked to invasions, such as the famous Normans or less famous Dutch (most recently in 1688), or expulsions and exoduses from nearby countries, such as France (Huguenots, who were about 5% of London’s population around 1700 = 30,000, with about as many in Kent) or Flanders (the Strangers). Before England was unified, there were Angles an Vikings from across the North Sea, Saxons and Romans from mainland Europe, Celts from Central Europe before them, and farmers from Spain and Turkey before that. Before that, it gets pretty hazy, but pretty much all “Brits” are descended from a mix of these immigrants.

Encroaching crypto-fascism. A perverse desire for control,

Or sometimes it is a real desire to be seen as tough on crime without noticing that the people who want age-verification/identity-document-duplication include some of the biggest criminals.

Age restrictions is usually due to religious voters

On what grounds, and isn’t it just a pretext like here?

Possibly propaganda, but a past government. The funder of that game, “Prevent”, was a scheme started under the ill-fated Cameron government and by 2023, I think that was the Sunak government.

Then again, why shouldn’t people who act as if they’re being radicalised in the game not expect their character to be nearly arrested in the game? It’s extremely twisted if someone from an immigrant nation like the UK starts protesting against immigration, it’s not going to end well and it’s probably better for the game to explain that reality than pretend those protests don’t have a downside.

The game is from 2023. Not much to do with the current government. It was also an attempt to stop radicalisation, not shame people for having stupid views on immigration.

The game when it was online would report you for taking “wrong” decision

Are you sure? The article seems to say it would have told you that your actions in the game scenario would have resulted in reporting, but the wording seems ambiguous.

Xitter, fakebook and friends are not social (more lke antisocial), not media (as they aren’t subject to the full media regulations), and unsafe for adults too!

Why do the anglos always have exceptions for exceptions?

History and a preference for not reopening awkward compromises until they become really really annoying. Except one.

Ah, but he could have had the high-tech circumvention duct tape fitted.

And now TikTok is advertising itself on UK TV as an educational tool. I expect everyone on here recognises them as evil already, so don’t doubt it!

He only needs to be agreed to be leader of his party to continue, then rule it with an iron fist and remove any rival who gets too popular, such as the even nuttier Rupert Lowe.

Last election, Farage did actually find a town foolish enough to elect him (Clacton, where he rarely goes), but it’s not required (the current Green England&Wales leader isn’t an MP) and Farage is a zombie leader who has kept on and on and on through many election defeats and parties falling apart.

Seriously, labour is the Enemy.

You write that like there can only be one enemy. Labour are being rubbish just now, but Reform UK the party of Putin would be worse. Reform is the biggest enemy.

Nigel Quisling

They are :)

The government announced that the plan, published on Wednesday, will focus on funding solar panels, heat pumps and batteries for households across the UK via low-interest loans and grants.

It’s a shame there’s no insulation plan to replace the mismanaged ECO4 programme for low-income homes, though. That’s another way to reduce demand.

half the US no longer thinks Trump did anything wrong with Epstein.

Where are you getting that from? Reuters/Ipsos polling last month said that only half of Republicans approve of Trump’s handling of the scandal, resulting in it being less than a quarter of the US. Of the whole survey, 52% disapproved.

the US is a brainwashed failed state. The constitution was a great idea, but it’s a first draft that clearly is flawed when the checks and balances decide they want a king.

Time will tell. They may yet recover, or you may be right and things get even worse.

So when idiots say that there’s no point doing anything in your country because China, this may help to remind them which major polluters are owned or based in your country. For example, BP is the 8th-largest emitter, Shell is the 9th and both are based in the UK, so UK regulators could absolutely help clean them up and make a massive difference.
