China committed genocide against Uyghurs, independent tribunal rules
UK is pretty far from perfect but to suggest we have “just as dubious morals” as China is categorically wrong.
- Comment on Vodafone Finds Brits Keep Mobile Phones for 4 Years Instead of 2 1 year ago:
Yeah definitely this is a big factor.
I have a small pot I save into for my phone upgrade each month. Waiting longer means I get a shiner new phone when I do finally decide to upgrade.
And once I have it I want it to last as long as possible!
- Comment on Vodafone Finds Brits Keep Mobile Phones for 4 Years Instead of 2 1 year ago:
Not surprising. I used to update every 2 years but my last couple have had a 3 or 4 year gap.
As it should be really. These can be very expensive devices that only make sense if you get a decent life out of them.
- Comment on US court rules Reddit doesn’t need to identify users who pirate movies 1 year ago:
It may not be “sworn on a bible true true true” but it could be used to help build up evidence along with other sources or identify people to target for further investigation.
Absolutely shouldn’t be enough on it’s own to be able to get warrants or forces companies like Reddit to give out private information… but there’s be a line somewhere between “someone said they downloaded a movie” and “someone has admitted to committing or planning a horrible violent crime” where law enforcement would be justified in getting warrants. It should follow strict oversight and justification like warrants for “real life” things (I say “should” as in the moral should… no idea how good US laws are around this stuff or how well they are followed”)
