He's another of the Look-We-Publish-Left-Wing-Opinion go-tos for the Guardian centrists.

The centrist and right-wing of the Labour party have a lot to answer for and have clearly displayed that they will stick at nothing to ensure that:
* There is no Green New Deal and the climate crisis is going to happen * Power remains in the hands of few incompetent fail sons and their sociopathic remoras.

Personally I am happy with Riot.im/Element Matrix. Is there some feature which distinguishes Threema from it?
Needs to add another persona though: Smashing Sam who will knock you off your expensive bike in order to steal it: https://road.cc/content/news/e-bike-stolen-after-rider-ramme...
Having had to cut through my own U lock with a portable angle grinder I can verify that it is not too difficult. The cables are only for the snatch-and-grab prevention.
Only minor nitpick is that Campagnolo make wheels and groupsets, not bicycles themselves.

Just off the top of my head this is one of the most famous (exposed) examples in the UK https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-47457330
Police were created explicitly to help with suppressing the threat that comes from anyone that earns their living by a wage from others.
Now I'm going to have to go and watch archival Nixon footage to see if the same thing is there or not :)
Make sure that you are an eligible Fido customer. You must be an existing, postpaid, mobile customer.
I think that without using the same words that other "security professionals" (which I would not class myself as) use most discussion becomes absolutely pointless.
As noted on this article, your compatible device must have been purchased from Fido. If you have a non-Fido device and no conflicting services, Wi-Fi Calling may work, but we can’t assure that the feature will work properly!
Without WiFi Calling enabled sending Secure Signal messages will not work. The only option left is sending a normal insecure SMS to which the message text has been input using the veneer of the "secure" Signal app.
You can't.
I think this is a common misconception.
It depends. I think calling them simply SMS messages instead of being more precise is misleading because: Text messages sent through your mobile SMS/MMS plan are insecure and need your phone to be connected to your mobile network.
and
Signal Desktop does not send or receive SMS/MMS messages. Only Signal messages will be sent or received. The desktop app is an independent client that works whether or not your mobile device is present or online. We also want to encourage users to move away from insecure legacy protocols.

I find it very confusing.
I like pre-paid cellphone plans which give me a small number of text messages, a small amount of airtime. Using these I can communicate with people when I am not near a WiFi AP. I do not want to pay for data and would prefer to use my and my friends' access points and the free wifi in the small number of commercial locations that I visit.
In Canada all of the major carriers disable WiFi Calling² on pre-paid plans. They essentially only enable it as crutch to leach off public infrastructure to take up the slack on their insufficient private infrastructure.
So I infrequently (but enough to be annoyed) find myself in the situation that I am not near a WiFi access point and wish to communicate with someone else. Currently Signal will only allow me to do this via insecure SMS messages.
I read their original explanation in 2015 for disabling this functionality. Namely SMS leaks too much metadata¹ and we are only catering to needs of real-activists in real-dictatorships, and anyway SMS is too expensive there so this is a 1st World Problem.
As an explanation it leaves me wondering why I would bother with Signal: if I bite the bullet and sign up for a circa CA$50/month plan with data I may as well just use Element Matrix over WiFi. Signal brings nothing to the table except the possibility of accidentally sending an insecure SMS message and incurring a 30c charge for it.

Imagine walking around with an extra 1000Kg of clothes on me powered by fuel extracted from a dictatorship half-way across the world. I'd say the exhaust is only the beginning of the full cost I should fairly be charged.
Absolutely, this is another excellent argument against mindless sprawl.
unfinished concrete Concrete is not an ideal construction material if you are worried about reducing CO2 emissions.
It also follows that intercity travel should be restricted, for the same reasons. Yes, if you want to have a pleasant earth to live on then feckless, wasteful travel should be restricted. This does not have to be done by rules -- simply charging people the full cost of their trip would place it out of their ability.
outside temp is fixed so no heating cost, No, the outside temperature is rising, thanks to the freedom-loving, brave self-expression of car drivers crawling like ants to and from their places of consumption to their places of production.
In case you missed the memo: the party bosses are now the ones selling you the polluted suburban lifestyle while they cycle bicycles around clean, gated, low-traffic, tree-lined communities. So, keep living in the past... after all the future won't hold much for you.
Why would a programmer, artist, schoolteacher, hairdresser, restaurant owner need to travel any great distance from their village or town?
Most people in the world already live in cities... and they like them. They like looking at other people, smelling them, ranking and comparing them, copying them. They like the convenience of being able to get around easily, have other people cook food for them or play music for them.
The inevitable and obviously viewable consequence of people moving out of cities is that they create noisy, polluting, long-distance commuting sprawl: exactly the opposite of cleaner air and less light and sound pollution.
In order to move back away from the existing situation of an earth riven by roads the incursion of humans into ever smaller fragments of natural ecosystems we need to reduce the population and concentrate it in cities.
This¹ is mostly concentrating on tropical rainforest destruction but the same is true nearly everywhere: more and more roads are built in order to service human desires (cheap wood, grazing or (in EU and NA) solitude and privacy.
It can't go on.

* It makes the streets dangerous for everyone else
* It occupies a vast amount of physical and visual space
* It facilitates the construction of centralized shopping spaces that are at awkward distances for anyone not also driving
Overall private automobile use ought to be restricted to those with a compelling need for it: emergency services, some tradespeople, those with serious physical disabilities.The rest of the circa US$10,000/capita should be garnished by taxation and spent on comprehensive electric bus, light electric rail and long distance train infrastructure.
Neighborhoods need to be quiet, safe, green and relaxing. This cannot happen with personal automobile use.
