  • Pardon dealing industry? In the UK?

    I’m pretty sure only 4 pardons have been given in the last 25 years. 1 was posthumous (Turing) and the other 3 were given to convicts who saved people’s lives while incarcerated.

    I don’t think being anti-woke is going to help anyone get a pardon in the UK.

    I do think it’s a grift, just not convinced it’s a grift for a Royal Prerogative of Mercy.







  • I don’t think people hate discord as a host for some communities, but there definitely is a growing rejection of it among FOSS contributors.

    It sucks as a place to store knowledge. The search sucks, it’s not indexable by search engines, and requires an account to use. As another commenter on this post said, it combines the worst parts of IRC and webforums.

    There are better ways to organise a FOSS project, and people are unhappy that some projects still choose discord.
