The problem with Docker is their man page is wank!
$ docker service
gives you a list of commands; "Ooh! yes, ps [list all services] is what I want."
$ docker service ps
Gives you this shit.
"docker service ps" requires at least 1 argument.
See 'docker service ps --help'.

Home Secretary James Cleverly arrives in Rwanda to sign new asylum treaty
It comes after Mr Cleverly laid out his five-point plan to cut immigration, which included banning care workers from bringing their families over to the UK and raising the minimum salary required for a skilled worker visa.Sky News
I'm wondering if this opposition to the UK/Rwanda deal is a race thing because nobody seems to be up in arms about Italy's deal with Albania or the Turkey/Greece deal and all the other EU deals. Obviously, France believes the UK should take its migrants while paying for the pleasure. ๐คทโโ๏ธ

Europe migrant crisis: Italy to build migrant centres in Albania
The centres will be able to process more than 30,000 asylum seekers a year, Italy's PM has said.By Laura Gozzi (BBC News)
I see X wants me to start arguing again? It pisses me off that I'm goaded, and people are shocked and offended when I respond.
My response to this would be:
"But EVERYONE is middle class; in fact, I would argue there's only a small proportion of so-called rich and a huge amount of working families, and if there is still a working class, then Labour has failed! One hundred years and Socialism still hasn't dragged its sorry arse out of the road to Wigan Pier."
Better vote Lib Dem if you want to rejoin the EU, although rejoining is a long way down the road, according to their manifesto. I enjoyed reading the section on Asylum & Immigration. I needed a good laugh.
Next time, someone says that the House of Lords should be abolished because it is filled with rich people with nothing better to do; tell them they're idiots and have no idea what they're talking about. They are a valuable safety net for the British people, successfully blocking the Government (Conservative) 496 times since 2010

Glad to see not a lot has changed with #ArchLinux in terms of needing a certain level of ability. Spun up my VM this morning with 437 updates available but of course pacman refused because mutter43 and mutter are in conflict. The fix for me was:

sudo pacman -Syyu
Oh, and I had to:
sudo mv /usr/bin/WebKitWebDriver beacuse pacman moaned about that too!

The email has a main offer that, IMO always looks a mess and four smaller offers that look fine. Today she sent the brief over with the main offer, as usual, centre-aligned with a section containing bullet points. ๐คข
I tidied it up and put the bullet points in a single cell, left-aligned and sent the now tidy results off for approval.

Forty-nine days later, the rozzers come to arrest her old man.

I was never a fan of the woman. While I agree perhaps Scotland should be given even more independence, I'm not in favour of them leaving the union, so for me, her going was a blessing, but I was shocked and mystified when she announced her resignation.
If I'm right and this is why she resigned, then it's definitely fishy because she's had about four or five weeks to clean up any loose ends before his arrest today.
Looks like they'll be losing a customer. ๐

'Pausing AI Developments Isn't Enough. We Need To Shut It All Down' - Slashdot
Earlier today, more than 1,100 artificial intelligence experts, industry leaders and researchers signed a petition calling on AI developers to stop training models more powerful than OpenAI's ChatGPT-4 for at least six months.slashdot.org
I've heard several people say they wrote the petition to convince smaller developers to stop working on AI, while they still work on it in secret.
Sounds about right.

Realist, you mean.
Biden is a complete joke, even though it doesn't affect them. Americans don't like the fact Putin is doing whatever the hell he likes, and their current president appears to be doing nothing, and so they will want someone willing to do something, even if it is insane, like starting a war but let's not forget. Putin and trump are supposed to be mates.
If Labour wants to win the next GE, they need to start getting in front of the cameras more I mean, we haven't seen anything of Angela Rayner for months. Has she been sacked? Keir Starmer only appears now and again too.
The Tories have fucked themselves up. Labour just have to let them get on with it.
Donald Trump wins a second term, gets Putin to agree to a peace deal and becomes the darling of the free world. ๐คฃ

Nobody "Grilled" him as such, from what I saw. There were two or three questions which got him flustered but sticking to the "This is what I was advised" defence seemed to let him slip through the cracks.
For all those Lineaker fans
โIf you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."
-- Joseph Goebbels
I'm no particular fan of Lineker, but we may agree on a few things, like treating people decently.
You know, Richard Nixon was a liar and a crook, and yet he was still one of America's best presidents. Tony Bair lied to Parliament and the country about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, thus causing the deaths of British soldiers and countless innocent civilians.
While I understand the pain of people not being able to attend loved ones' funerals and then finding out Boris and his gang had a few sherberts for me, we have far more important stuff to worry about than whether people in the lobby of number 10 stood 2M or 1M apart and what distance rules were in effect at that time or whether a woman who lives there, namely Boris's wife, should have been at a gathering. Fooking pathetic if you ask me.
I thought you wanted politics to be entertaining?
Do we really want liars and crooks running things just because they can do some things well? What useful things has Johnson done?
I wish politics was more boring.
I believe he has been told to use a similar defence to:
WASHINGTON -- President Reagan 'absolutely' has no recollection of being told by Lt. Col. Oliver North of a proposed large private donation to the Contras by an Iranian posing as a Saudi prince, a spokesman said Friday.
Iran/Contra scandal 1987
WHAT! He got us out of the EU, didn't he?
I bet you can find that every PM throughout history has told a lie to The House and the British public. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that was one of the requirements on the job application, so you could argue where Boris went wrong was being found out. ๐คทโโ๏ธ

And yet the news media is tearing its clothes and gnashing its teeth at how right-wing Europe is becoming, even wheeling out those knackered old accusations of "Facist" and "Nazi" labels in a desperate attempt to stop people talking about the subject or even trying to do something about it.
We will see flights very soon once we install some British lawyers out there. I'm not sure how that makes any difference but I suppose governments always seem to have to jump through hoops to get anything done these days.
