> Can I scrape all GPL source code from github. Then use the code commercially and then say so what, they made their source code available to download?

Yes, that's the whole point of the GPL. Use it however you want, but don't restrict the next person

I trust my ISP far more than I trust bigtech. The downside of connecting from my ISP is that the site I connect to can fingerprint me trivially from the IP range

If you control the connecting device why not use MTLS?

All my business traffic comes from either our own AS, or from ZScaler's AS

Do many companies really use azure etc rather than dedicated services like zscaler?

And all sorts of companies, from small businesses to multinationals, and a fair few people at home, paid it.

Businesses were quite happy to spend $5k on technology for a worker if it makes things better, why wouldn't they today.

Make it 3/4 an inch narrower and an inch shorter and I'll get one

In the 90s we'd pay $5k a head (inflation adjusted - about $2k then) for a 486 with 80MB of disk space

How does that work when the official strategy is "Socialise the losses, privatise the profits"

It's worth something, but surely nowhere near enough to justify the $19b purchase 12 years ago, which if extended in line with meta's share price would mean it would be worth about $200b today

Can you show the horrors of Nestle and the 10 million babies they killed, not for ideology, just for higher dividends.

Both Melenchon and Le Pen have promised to increase spending and reduce taxes. That type of promise is a great vote winner, and people believe it. In 2022 Pecrese advocated reducing spending in 2022 and couldn't even manage 5% of the vote.

Macron couldn't even increase retirement age to 65 because France doesn't want it.

Next time will likely be a choice of two parties who both said retirement age will be reduced to 60.

When people are rioting for things that didn't happen, because they think they did, because of messages being sent to them by an enemy, then you stop that enemy.

> I don't have Whatsapp, if you want to call me you should afford to call me without making Zuck richer at your own cost

I still don't get how whatsapp makes any money from me. I do know that if I phone someone on my phone the connection is terrible, if I make a voice call on whatsapp it's a far better quality.

> I personally miss times when netiquette (the one that emerged from early UNIX and USENET communities) was still the thing in the net.

Eternal September, the gift that keeps on giving

Trivial to prove that, just set up an open wifi and show it connecting, getting an IP, and then transmitting data.

I haven't managed to reproduce it.

They could have started with actually decrypting what was sent rather than a breathless 2 hours of monetised nonsense. Show me the http posts with the data that's actually sent.

That's not real life courts, that's an unaccountable corporation who rightly considers you irrelevant

In the process dropping debris over one of the largest cities in Europe.

Gatwick and Stansted can take any plane just as easily as Heathrow, but has less on ground resources to fix the plane.

There's a difference between the onboard service and cabin (and god are BA shit), and the flight safety.

That said BA earned a hell of a black mark when it chose to divert to Heathrow rather than Stansted or even Gatwick when its engine was on fire [1]. Not as much as when Air France decided to divert from Lebanon to Damascus in the middle of a civil war rather than Cyprus because it was cheaper [2]

2.0.0.0/16 and 2.2.0.0/16 are owned by Orange, a European company. I'm sure they'd be willing to lease 2.2.2.0/24 and 2.0.0.0/24 for a nominal fee

5.4.0.0/14 (so 5.5.5.5) is Telefonica Germany. Same thing there.

Mercedes owns 53.0.0.0/8 which feels like a nice number for DNS too.

I use perl on a regular basis to manipulate text and display as webpages via cgi-bin

With 2 cables at the same time it could well be a ship dragging an anchor

My confluence server is behind a proxy which requires a valid client certificate to talk to the server

I have other proxies which require OIDC authentication before passing any packets on

Now sure, I'm still vulnerable to internal attackers from my company, but that's an audited trail to a real specific user, not just a random botnet on the internet.

ctrl-a and ctrl-e to start/end of line

I don't get this. My work email is on exchange, but I haven't used outlook for 15 years - I access web based exchange from firefox on my linux laptop

Metro is from the same group that brings you the daily mail, of course it's garbage

As is always the way when you make people vote on a specific Thursday when many people are busy juggling getting kids to/from school, themselves to work, and cooking dinner. Historically of course Thursday was pension day when the pensioners were all out to get their pension anyway.

In 1979 it was 42/45 for under 25s - 7% below average, and 47/45 for over 55s, 5% over average.

in 1997, over 65s voted 36% Tory vs 31% nationally - 16% above average. Under 24s voted 27%, 13% below average.

In 2019, over 65s voted 64% Tory vs average 45%. That's 42% above average. Meanwhile under 25s voted 19% tory, 38% under average.

That's a massive increase in age polarisation in just 22 years and increasing even more over 40. That is not a good thing.

This is a very angry person.

He claims he's going to explain why the alternatives are crap.

The first he starts off OK. I've never seen this specific design, but fine, you can't securely lock your bike. No explanation on what "securely" means (presumably at least two locks, one through each wheel)

He talks about "wheel benders", but doesn't explain what makes them deserve such a name.

It goes downhill from there. Number 3 his entire argument is "kill it with fire".

OK that explains a few countries which have a fee-for-service model, what about those countries incentivized to prevent problems? Do they take new technology on faster?

Well you're clearly wrong, just 43.6% voted Tory in 2019.

It was a majority opinion of old people sure.

The tory party has realigned itself since 2016 to the same values of the leave campaign, one heavily based on fear of foreigners

Obviously there are exceptions to the rule, but any look at voting demographics shows people of your generation and older are fare more likely to vote tory and brexit than people born after the 1970s. Comparing the how people voted a generation ago, in 1997, or in 1979, and age is a far larger indicator
