You've set me on a path now, I'm listening to '90s and '00s Ibiza club classics
I guess I'm old since it reminds me of the original Chris Rea track

My face, screaming in horror, but in words instead. I've only really worked with projects in homogenous languages on the application side, so hadn't considered that. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
There is an IETF standard for UUIDs? Do we need an IETF standard for UUIDs? I've been coding since the '90s and never thought a UUID to be complicated or contentious enough to need a standard. I guess it makes for a pretty unique icebreaker to say you've contributed to an IETF standard, if you get invited to those sort of parties.
Thank you for taking on the mantle
One of the critical differences between FOSS and commercial software is that FOSS projects don't need to drive sales and consequently also don't need to immediately jump onto technology trends in order to not look like they're lagging behind the competition.
What I've consistently seen from FOSS over the 30 years I've been using it, is that if a technology choice is a good fit for the problem, then it will be adopted into projects where relevant.
I believe that there are use cases where LLM processing is absolutely a good fit, and the projects that need that functionality will use it. What you're less likely to see is 'AI' added to everything, because it isn't generally a good solution to most problems in it's current form.
As an aside, you may be less likely to get good faith interaction with your question while using the term 'luddite' as it is quite pejorative.
Uranium is natural. Not sure what it tastes like. Perhaps someone would be kind enough to report back.
I'm sitting down, waiting for Scott Manley's analysis video to drop. I'd hope there are valid and sane reasons why they thought it should go ahead, but something like this was so obviously going to happen.
Both. Some households, usually in older buildings, pay 'water rates' based on the size of their property. Others, including all newly built homes, have water meters which report usage back to the company. We pay for supply of clean water as well as transportation and processing of surface water run-off and sewage.
Royal Mail releases Brexit anniversary scratch & sniff stamp that smells of raw sewage.
I get the distinct sense that the government and Bank of England have a different definition for what the economy is than the average Brit.
This comment deserves to be immortalised on a plaque
No, conscription is state-mandated enlistment in military service. You're probably thinking of constipation.

Who's out there putting hands on the rim of toilet bowls? 'fess up.
I don't get the RCS hype. I already have apps for rich messaging and RCS offers nothing for me over those apps. What I do appreciate is SMS, which is posed to be killed-off by RCS. I can rely on SMS even when there is no data signal, can't say that for RCS. I wish I had a way to permanently disable RCS on my Pixel 6a, instead I have to keep rejecting the 'upgrade to RCS' dialog.
