That's just storing what they output in a database and then checking, not a watermark.

Python has threads and connection pools work fine on async workers as well.

Me too. I even opened the page and I'm not sure of what's the problem being solved.

Quite a long comment to write that you've never once seen ikea furniture.

You've never seen ikea furniture if you think it lasts less than a decade.

Ikea sells quality stuff as well. Also it's good that we can now afford furniture where our ancestors would have a couple of chairs and a half broken table passed down for generations.

Personally I'm quite happy that dropping a plate on the ground isn't a terrible event.

I had a pinephone and switched from phosh to plasma-mobile. The hardware was very limited but with plasma it was much much better at least.

You cannot get an old school nokia because 3g networks are gone, so they won't work.

But, I'm talking about an event that had prior authorisation in UK… it seems it's you who doesn't fit the original goalposts?

> You mean like those few people arrested for disturbing peace during the Queen's funeral/coronation of the King?

I mean like those who asked for the permit to hold a protest, got the permit and then got arrested anyway… You'd think it was NK and instead…

But hold a sign against the king and find out that the police has all the necessary information to find and arrest you :)

If you have kids in school you can only have trips when everybody else is having them.

At least you don't get arrested for protesting in the streets in sweden, unlike UK…

Many years ago I had a job offer in UK and a friend who was already living there who was very keen on me moving there.

Honestly every single time there is news about UK, I am glad I didn't take the offer.

Then again, me being already not very enthusiastic about the place had a role in my decision.

Try driving 1300km in a day… When I was a kid that's how our family vacations started.
