funshed··on Is Grammarly a keylogger? What can you do about it?
I'm sad to read this. As someone who is dyslexic, it's a necessary evil I have to use. Unless there is alternatives?

Infact I use Hemingway App and then Grammarly to write content.

funshed··on The elaborate con that tricked dozens into working for a fake design agency
A "Fake it until you make it" story but "not a single client contract had been signed" how at that scale can "not a single" prospect sign up.
funshed··on Gov.uk Platform as a Service
Nothing is free, if they did that Tax's would have to raise to cover the costs. Plus this is not for busineses but for the Government Department(s) themselves and Quangos.

funshed··on U.K. regulators order Meta to sell Giphy
Given the UK is now more soverign over these matters and others, it is more relevent. No lobbying in EU will save companies now.
funshed··on U.K. regulators order Meta to sell Giphy
The UK government is considering withdrawing the requirement for consent to cookies from UK law. To be clear this was an EU Import into UK regulation.
funshed··on U.K. regulators order Meta to sell Giphy
Blocking giphy does not solve anything, just means more fines or other action by the regulator.

You should vary your press, the UK is booming. The unemployment rate is lower than pre-pandemic at 4% with wages growth to match. The OECD thinks the UK economy will expand 6.7 per cent in 2021, the highest rate of growth among the G7.

UK is in the top 10 higher number of facebook users.

It dit not. UK can choose which laws to repel.
funshed··on Amazon to stop accepting UK Visa credit cards
UK Amex procesing fees are outragious compared to UK Visa processing fees. This does not make much logical sense to me.
funshed··on Ask HN: Does Apple Pinch and Zoom use AI to enhance a video?
I concider myself tech-savy but was set aback when this was brought up. If AI does fill in the gaps it makes sense it can not be used. Which apparently it does, how interesting.
funshed··on Man left shocked as his house is 'stolen'
Every story I have read about this before is the transaction(s) are reversed. I presume the owner opted for cash instead of the property back.
funshed··on Man left shocked as his house is 'stolen'
UK does require you to prove your identity but the solicitor seems to have failed here with stolen identity. As the original owner did not update there details to another address.
funshed··on Investing in Startups by Passing the Series 65
I loved the get-out clauses. Though being from UK I am a little confused, you need authorisation to buy shares in a SME in the US?

Good Question..
funshed··on UK MP speech about freedoms censored by YouTube
UK Mobile Data for most is unlimited. A few will have a data cap but those will be unlikely to watch videos on mobile.
funshed··on Back to EU
The UK has launched a consolution on how to improve Data Protection Laws.

One campaign on this consultation is to abolish the stupid Cookie Consent requirement, that is evidenced again and again to be wholley pointless.

Anouther campaign with this consultation is to enable medical researches to use anonomised NHS data. The National Health Service (NHS) is huge and useing that data could usher in some great medical advancements.

The government cites a project at Moorfields Eye Hospital and the University College London Institute of Ophthalmology where machine learning technology was applied to thousands of historic de-personalised eye scans to identify signs of eye disease and recommend how patients should be referred for care.

There is no plans to weaken GDPR. Even if there was Adam Bird's company is welcome to go above and beyond the requirement.

It's all nonsense, move if you want to. At this stage he doesnt even know what is changeing, to state Brexit and GDPR as the reason is premature.

funshed··on Ask HN: Would you fund a world-wide-web without tracking?
I'm not paying websites to not track me, id happily avoid those that do track me. Same difference.
funshed··on France recalls US and AU ambassadors over sub-deal
I don't think they will, UK (in parliament) was clear its in the thing to let AUS fund development of a New SUB. Then use those works to develop its next generation. I'm sure US is happy for AUS to establish a 2021 blueprint they can improve on.
funshed··on France recalls US and AU ambassadors over sub-deal
TIL. Interesting rabbit hole.

BT is blocking the website due to virus's it says.
funshed··on Cancel Me: John Cleese to present Channel 4 show on ‘woke’ thought
Have a re-read, it is not the Judge's opinion that he was unduly sensitive. The judge is showing a mirror to you, by your standards he is.

funshed··on Cancel Me: John Cleese to present Channel 4 show on ‘woke’ thought
Perhaps - though the Express critised a TV Show of which Cleese was in for 6 minute out of a 2 hour show. Then pinned it on Cleese as "his show" but Cleese didnt make it or in it much. Express was given opportunity to fix the article, refused and lost in court (after offering him £10k beforehand)... They were in the wrong.
