My living room is used for business meetings when I am not there.
Ignoring the fact that living rooms and conference rooms are different rooms for a reason, how is this at all desirable?
My biggest concern is all the people who do not live in our city
Don’t worry I’ll be fine because I don’t have to rent out my living room and can see the stars.
This article feels like someone trying to make New Urbanists look bad.

- Comment on ProtonVPN: Site Blocking Is an Attack on Users' Online Freedom. 6 days ago:
Right, but if I’m in France and get my friend in Kazakhstan to plug in a Pi to create a VPN - which is pretty trivial provided you have a Kazakh friend - how will the French stop the Kazakh ISP from letting a computer in Kazakhstan access a website that is legal in Kazakhstan?
- Comment on Mastodon is working to add the controversial 'quote posts' feature | TechCrunch 6 days ago:
It seems the solution is to allow a user to choose whether to be quote-posted, perhaps down to a post-level.
That has implementation hurdles, I’m sure, but I think we should try to build it right this time.

And unless they want to send their troops into another country to tell that ISP what sites to block they can’t block them.
If you believe this statement to be accurate at all you’re not paying attention…
I helped Syrian and Egyptian dissidents to circumvent internet blockages during the Arab Spring. I have absolutely been paying attention.

That’s not exactly how jurisdiction works without a lot of international cooperation.
Plus we can just trade DNS entries or damn hosts files and they won’t know. The Pirate Bay is even still up.
The Internet was designed to withstand nuclear weapons. It’s not going down without a fight.

But what about companies outside their borders?
- Comment on ProtonVPN: Site Blocking Is an Attack on Users' Online Freedom. 6 days ago:
Okay, so VPN providers have to block access to sites.
So now make them VPS resellers and you set up your own VPN. Do all VPS sellers need to do this? Will AWS, GCP, and Azure have to block pirate sites?
Or what if I just ship a raspberry pi to a friend in some other country, will his ISP have to block access even if they’re outside their jurisdiction?

I am guilty of just restarting a game over and over until I find a good spawn point.
I often think of all the history that could have happened, the tiny people who could have done amazing things, who disappear into the ether as I click a button…
Ooo I’m right next to some luxury resources!
