- Comment on UK | Man arrested in dawn raid after sharing Facebook posts backing Palestine Action 9 hours ago:
Setting aside freedom of speech (as UK already did) why would you raid a suspect in a nonviolent crime with no material evidence to seize? Why not just send a summons?
Though I can answer my own question: state terror campaign to scare population into submission
- Comment on GitHub will be folded into Microsoft proper as CEO steps down 1 day ago:
I was afraid MS would keep it as an 'independent' service while syphoning data out of it. Buut looks like it entered the 'ravenous extraction' phase of enshitification, hopefully it accelerates market share loss.

Vampire fireman wouldn't be able to enter a house if it was on fire, why would police be different

It would upset me, but holy crap what a topic for the first half an hour of the date. Will get you right through the awkward phase!

So, wild story, my dad set this date. Can you believe this crap? I have no idea what he put in the profile, hopefully nothing too cringe. He said I love trains?? FFS you make ONE model train when you're 12, and you're a "train girl" forever. Honestly I almost no-show, but you didn't deserve being stood up..
Anyway, wanna vent about stupid shit your parents did?_ - Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 3 weeks ago:

- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 3 weeks ago:
It's something russia has been doing for a decade and got pretty good at.
A long term blanket vpn ban is not compatible with a modern digital infrastructure, but with certain protocols (openvpn, wireguard) they can detect their usage and filter them out when necessary.
It does require a lot of expensive DPI (deep packet inspection) hardware I'm not sure UK has, so building a Great Firewall of Britain (Hadrian's Firewall?) will take some time.
