It seems like these types of buys are often associated with offloading debt to the bought company so that it can be shed to a company that they can then let bankrupt and then pay pennies on the dollar of their debt, if they have to pay anything. EA seems like a prime candidate for that.
After poking around for half an hour or so, I think I'm going back to ground news :) . I love most kagi products but this one is going to need some more love I think.
There are alternatives to cloudflare tho. If the government cuts you off or starts enforcing 24/7 surveillance there's not a lot that can be done other than tossing them out in the next election (if there are elections) or civil disobedience until they renege
I can't imagine that working for even more than a couple of days. If it did we have much bigger problems than access to Wikipedia and would like be looking at the beginning of civil disobedience and war as I doubt wikipedia would be the only freedom of speech site.
This is the best possible result I think. Until the regular citizens suffer as a result of tyrannical policies they will never think to vote out the corrupt police state politicians who invoke these insane policies in ever increasing power grabs.
I bought an apple tv box so I could disconnect my samsung TV from the internet forever. I think no matter what you do they will find a way to spy on you through your TV. I'm sure there are android boxes that will do as well as apple TV too.
The only websites I seem to have issues with are usually trash sites anyway. All my regular sites like banking, Google Docs, Office 365, finance, etc. work just fine in Firefox. I do find its performance not up to par with most sites that might have a very JavaScript heavy app for gaming and such.
I have helped many extremely drunk people this way, given them a lift, but point out to them that getting a lift from a stranger you just met is a really bad idea. they're just lucky they met an honest guy with some free time because I keep weird hours and like the neighborhood hole-in-the-wall pub.
different groups, different goals. They are against corps prying into your business, but government overall is pretty in favor of gaining as much power as possible for themselves.
yeah I just bought an apple tv appliance and my nice OLED samsung tv never gets anywhere near my wifi, except the first day I got it to update the firmware. It seems stable so the firmware will probably never be updated again in this or the next lifetime.
They have a much better reputation that most companies. I think they're doing okay compared to google, facebook, oracle, etc. Few people are going to think a corp is "doing good" but reputation does still matter somewhat.
lol I still run it in the winter but I feel bad running it in the summer, so I don't run it when A/C or heating is not necessary. I figure some contribution is infinitely more than 0 contribution.
Should be used for basic things like driving a car or signing up for a government service. Should be used to determine if you can make money to survive on or walk down the street without being stopped to very that you as a brown person are legit. "What are you doing in this part of town? Your sort isn't usually around this area"
It doesn't have to be dead, that's a choice we made as a society. It's an artificial limitation if people wake up and vote against it while they still can
But that's -likely- what it means in the near future, along with 24/7 tracking via observation posts along streets and highways. I wonder when people will start realizing a smaller government is a better government and vote accordingly. When things make a task "easier for the government" your ears should prick up and you should start paying attention. Today's "more efficient democracy" makes for tomorrow's "more efficient autocracy" when everything is already in place
Next comes sensors in said cards, if someone walks by an digital observation post without the card on them they will now be tagged by visual recognition and documented as illegal/possibly illegal until proven otherwise. Expect the database to record it and start drawing up statistics on said undocument individual. The undocumented police will be notified and be on alert to apprehend at first opportunity. Coming to you in 2030.
The people pitching for said surveillance are always the wrong hands if they're from the government. "We here from the government, we're here to help" are very scary words, and be careful if you take them up on the offer
