What a moron lol

My brother-in-law has a slightly unusual form of epilepsy called absence seizures where he zones out and ceases to function for almost a minute at a time. It’s the exact opposite of what you’d want for a driver.

However he’s been on medication to treat it and hasn’t had an abscence seizure in over 10 years with his current medication. He lives in Cornwall and some of the council houses he is being offered are perfect but have problems like the nearest pharmacy being 20 miles away and buses being every 3 hours. Out of curiousity we checked to see if he could learn to drive and apparently if you’ve not had a seizure for 2 years then you can get rubberstamped for a provisional drivers license.

Ultimately he’s turning down these places due to these issues, it’s not being counted as a wasted bid since the drawbacks of the property are not just him being fussy. Additionally, I’m pretty certain he lacks the gross motor skills to drive even if seizures are no longer a problem. Will need to wait to bid on more suitable properties. People who live in the country really need better amenities and public transport.

At any rate that 2 year figure struck me as being very, uh, optimistic from the DVLA. Potentially any seizure should seriously curtail your ability to gain a provisional/full license.

They were just trying to prevent people from being tricked into installing Manjaro

This is real politik unfortunately

Game over, man

I am not a big fan of LLMs but don’t see a problem with this (or the last confected outrage about Late Night With The Devil). Banning AI in movies is going to be like attempting to put a genie back in its bottle since there are so many potential applications. Maybe indie film makers can advetise their movies as Not AI so that people who are bothered by it can seek those out.

I hope this is on gamepass because I love Obsidian but have been unconvinced by the gameplay I’ve seen so far.

Is “ricing” not originally related to customised cars from street racing or something? I personally don’t see an issue with it.

The activity itself is quite good for making people aware of how a desktop linux OS is working but doing it excessively is a bit silly so makes sense for jt to have a silly name.

One big issue is that military service is mandatory for men only so they feel they are being disadvantaged doing it while their women counterparts are getting degrees and established in the job market. That part seems like it could be solved by making it compulsary for both sexes like Israel does - assuming they want to keep up military service. I don’t see how they can stop given their neighbours.

Expect to see many arches getting dropped as rust becomes a mandatory dep for an increasing number of common packages. Personally would have preferred for it to be optional so the cull was not necessary, however that is too much work for the devs.
