   @pluralistic I plan to share your article far and wide, thank you for writing it.

   As an aside, I heard you recently on @drvolts’s Volts podcast. Terrific discussion!

   The crisis in the justice system is getting so bad that for many solicitors it is uneconomic to provide representation on certain crimes as the Legal Aid payments do not cover the costs of providing legal advice & support.

   Its no use having a legal right to representation that can't be actually exercised because solicitors cannot afford to provide it.

   As with so much of British social infrastructure, we are slowly returning to the society of C19th!

   @roller @cstross yeah but that’s far better than for example, here in Canada, where we have a good chunk of completely unsolved murders with no idea who did it, especially when the murder is of vulnerable people like the homeless or sex workers. I guess as an North American I was brought up that it’s just normal that you have some amount of murder for which you have a dead body and no idea who did it.

   As it turns out, it’s possible to have a different option, one that looks a bit better.

   I'd also like all the porn shared on here to be ATTRIBUTED to the best ability of the people posting it, but that's an old mania of mine and I've long since made peace with the fact that most people don't share it or give even a tiny fuck about it.

   As for the alt descriptions, I have OK vision but I'm still amazed how often I need (want) alt text to help me puzzle out WTAF I'm looking at. Being somewhat face-blind and color vision impaired no doubt contributes to that.

   @blake Agreed and I expect regulatory changes are needed, otherwise old centralised social media get replaced by identical competitors. BS is useful in a scenario where #Twitter is forced to interoperate with it.

   As for BS activity, if edavis.dev is correct, W(A?)U peaked 3 weeks ago, so M(A?)U would start declining in a week from now. It seems to be climbing down even faster than after the Brazil wave. We'll see at what level the new low will settle down, until the next wave.

   I would try making a ranking system for potential matches, including context of the proposed action. For example, "get bot" would prefer the bottle over the garden because the bottle has the "gettable" flag and it's notably hard to pick up a botanical garden. Likewise, it's hard to dig in a bottle and it makes no sense to walk to the garden when you're already standing in it.

   As for the parser, try making a sliding window of 3 or 4 words to extract small noun clauses. Of course, I assume you're already using articles as a signal for nouns, and prepositions as a signal for noun or pronoun clauses. Words in between a preposition and a noun are likely adjectives too.
