Re: MW vs MWh

"everybody hated just me.". Nah, the MAGAts hate everyone.

Re: MW vs MWh

"Difference is we tend to use it correctly." And proceeds to prove me correct. Your response is dispiriting coming from a supposedly well educated person with a science background

Re: MW vs MWh

Sme people hate facts and the truth. In my experience said people tend to be of BoJo/MAGA persuasion and deny science, which is wonderful when they are using the science they dany.

Post Office threatened to sue Fujitsu over missing audit data

Re: It a wonder why this happens

"yes but it's not plausible they KNEW." Indeed they did but rather a lot of people refuse to accept that fact. Both Fudge and the PO have admitted it.

Fujitsu gets $1B market cap haircut after TV disaster drama airs

Re: Fushitesu

"How many Fujitsu staff can genuinely claim completely clean hands?"

The downvoting of such posts just proves that some people don't believe they should be held responsible for criminal acts.

Just like IQ45!

Re: If government contracts with Fujitsu

"the other contracting party did something criminal " Both Fujitsu and the goverment, which owns the PO were criminal.

Re: If government contracts with Fujitsu

"termination in the event of Fujitsu aiding criminal activity ", and said criminal activity was carried out by the government (the PO is owned by the government.)

Re: Fushitesu

"Do you sack all the staff who have had no involvement in the Horizon system or PO account?" So, not many and Fujitsu should compensate those who were clean.

Elon Musk made 1 in 3 Trust and Safety staff ex-X employees, it emerges

Re: Jellied Eel

ROFL.

Re: Trust and Safety staff

'The motion further claimed – without evidence – that Willis and Nathan Wade traveled together to vacation destinations including Florida, Napa Valley and the Caribbean.'

'Roman cited unnamed sources close to Willis and Wade, claiming they confirmed a “personal relationship” between Willis and Wade during Wade’s divorce proceedings.

The subpoena didn’t include details on the sorts of questions Willis may face, according to the Journal.'

So, more unsubstantiated bs.

'Or you should just stop watching The View.' What's that?

Re: Yet....

"Again with the hate" The only hate I see is your. As for "left", your problem is that anyone who disagrees with ypo is deemed' left' and if one states one is not, as I have intimated, you refuse to acccept it. i.e you reject reality which is a hallmark ogf fascism.

Re: Yet....

"Again, you make my point for me."

Actually I don't but you do mine.

Re: Trust and Safety staff

'Nazi Germany was heavily censored and made full use of political supression and opression.' Just like Musk and his buddy Trump and the MAGAts. Remember Trump has already made it very clear he will not tolerate opposition and intends to be a dictator. Maybe you should listen to and read what he says / writes.

Re: Yet....

"commenting on 'controversial' topics tends to attract the opposable thumbs," There you go again!

'who are quick to demonstrate their tolerance of diverse opinions and inclusivity.' As opposed to your total intolerance.

Re: Yet....

"Well, I do seem to attract a lot of hate from the left here." That you assume everyone who disagrees with you is "the left" proves you aren't too bright and are bigoted and paranoid. As does your 'hate' claim. You exhibit the standard far right fascist problems of connecting with reality.

Re: Yet....

Which planet are you on Is the question.

Re: Trust and Safety staff

"If only Twitter and X had some way to allow users to choose to follow, unfollow or ignore posters. Or perhaps that concept is just too hard for the average leftie to grasp"

X was Twitter. Maybe you should be telling your Führer Musk as he disabled those options. Or perhaps that concept is just too hard for you, an obvious fascist, to grasp?

Re: Yet....

"Why is it so many politicians are so opposed to allowing free speech?"

Pardon? Why are Musk it so many Maga/gop politicians are so opposed to allowing free speech?

Is the question.
