Add a bit of a Dazzle paint scheme…
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X can’t invent its own copyright law, judge says 1 month ago:
“We wrote it!” when trying to stop people copying it.
“We didn’t write it!” when it comes to §230 liability for what is written.
The judge can clearly read “you grant us a worldwide, non exclusive, royalty free license” in their TOS, which isn’t transferring any copyright ownership.
- Comment on Abortion restrictions tied to higher rates of intimate partner homicide, says study 1 month ago:
Having to pay child support is such a consistent back-story for “sovereign citizen” / “insane peope of facebook” / “trying to flee their country” - scary to imagine what someone would do to avoid that situation.
- Comment on Why is Windows 11 so annoying? 2 months ago:
He’s right about the search - open start menu and type WINMERG - it lists nine Bing searches, the WinMerge installer file, but not the installed program WinMerge. Yet it will find PowerPoint if you just search PO
- Comment on space 2 months ago:
Same with The End of Eternity - they can travel to different times at which the machine existed.
In fact, isn’t it a bit similar with the only ‘real’ possibility of time travel - you create a wormhole and age one end by moving it faster than the other end, but the only possible travel is between the two ends that you have created.
- Comment on Life was better in the nineties and noughties, say most Britons 2 months ago:
Also the peak of contracting (before IR35) - there were plenty of tech workers on insane “salaries” just doing normal jobs.
- Comment on RAF fighter jets deployed to shoot down Iran drones, MoD says 2 months ago:
Yeah, not sure we want to send the message that bombing embassies is okay.
- Comment on Rich Americans are getting second passports, citing risk of instability 2 months ago:
New Zealand sounds like “expecting the climate to collapse”, but Cyprus just sounds like Russian asset?

Do you have an elected representative who can put this question to them?

Maybe if they collectively owned a software company it would be more responsive.
- Comment on An Exercise Program for the Fat Web 2 months ago:
Jeff’s solution is pihole not firefox? I thought ad blockers did way more complex and subtle stuff than the DNS approach of blocking entire domains?
- Comment on Best printer 2024: a humorous critique of the Google search engine and printer enshittification 2 months ago:
“Also this strikes me as a very lazy reviewer. Which makes him profoundly qualified to review printers”
😂
- Comment on Warning after people fined because they used Royal Mail stamps 2 months ago:
It’s such a stupid system too - you receive a note saying “pay us £5 to deliver your post” with no way of knowing what they were trying to deliver - it could be something important, it could be someone sending a blank envelope just to annoy you and waste your money.
- Comment on Artist behind Mona’s ladies-only lounge ‘absolutely delighted’ man is suing for gender discrimination 3 months ago:
Meanwhile in the UK, this old relic is in the news today, remaining men-only despite the law demanding otherwise.

- Comment on Government's heat pump strategy well behind 600k a year by 2028 target 3 months ago:
Technology Connections has also been trying to educate installers about these, especially around appropriate sizing and when to use backup heat (from a US perspective).
- Comment on Cory Doctorow gets scammed 3 months ago:
It’s scary how oblivious banks can be, and I think Brokkr is either lucky or optimistic about their procedures - I have seen even large banks like HSBC make “facepalm” mistakes like you described, and it sounds like Cory’s bank might even have outsourced their call handling to someone very close to the fraudsters.
- Comment on Cory Doctorow gets scammed 3 months ago:
He said someone in the bank’s supply chain was compromised, as they knew a lot of details that should have been known only to the bank. Also that the only information he gave away were the last digits of a card number.
- Comment on RimWorld - Anomaly (DLC) Store page is up 3 months ago:
Having played the Call of Cthulu set of mods, it will be fun to have this in the ‘main’ game.

“Rwanda is clearly a safe country” - so how come we granted asylum to people fleeing political violence there?
