- Comment on what is good remote desktop software? 2 weeks ago:
You sure you can’t do what you need from bash/ssh?
If you only need ssh, anything can be terminal as everything has a ssh client.
- Comment on Nvidia CEO pushes back against report that his company's $100B OpenAI investment has stalled 2 weeks ago:
With the amount of money in this bubble, it would be better if slowly deflated instead popped.

Get off American monopoly tech. The desktop is the easiest.
A GNU/Linux desktop has endless advantages and doesn’t include the anti-features.
Linux, in some form, runs a lot of your life already, even if you don’t know it.
If your a tech, you really should deeply know Linux/UNIX anyway.

- Comment on Ex-Tory Home Secretary Braverman defects to Reform UK 2 weeks ago:
Reform is a pro-Russia party with members jailed for Russian corruption. Farage is just good at it and not been caught.
Reform would give MAGA the UK. Traitors. Reform is full of Brexit people when Brexit massively damanaged the country. Traitors. Reform would privative the NHS screwing over all the but the rich. Traitors.
Magnet to the worse of the Tories.
Let alone the blatant racism and intolerance of any diversity. I refuse to tolerant their intolerance. It must be challenged or we’ll end sinking into a hell hole like the US has (and is still descending further).
- Comment on France will replace Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex and others with its own sovereign video conferencing application "Visio" for public officials 2 weeks ago:
It could be improve. SMB3 is far better for firewalling than SMB1/2.
A standard audio/video call protocol is great to have and SIP is everywhere already. Already supports video though this isn’t as widely used.
It could be iterated.

Can’t they invest in standardized SIP solutions? Linphone is already French.

- Comment on China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible 4 weeks ago:
You mean you don’t just trust the AI summaries?
18% or 21% sounds like a lot of people.
- Comment on China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible 4 weeks ago:
I check on this. So first thing I found, literacy rates and average reading age are different things. Literacy rate, able to read at all, is clearly tracked and both countries are like 99%. Reading age seams really mushy. If you can get some numbers, please share!

Also, it won’t always be them. It will be a repair shop. If things were built to be repaired, it would be quicker and cheaper to repair them.

So we hear. But the world is not America and this is a British newspaper.
- Comment on BBC to review 'Bias' in Climate Change reporting 3 months ago:
GB “News” is a blight on the media landscape. Calling itself “News” but says it is just “entertainment” so doesn’t have to follow news standards. That needs to drop them in a world of trouble. They need to be made an example of so we don’t get more of that.

I’ll never hear, or read, that phase the same again!

Makes me think of Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky. 😀
- Comment on Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps App 3 months ago:
Waze is now also Google. Apple can and does extract/extort lots rent/ransom from Google. OSM doesn’t have the pockets. They, like lots of FOSS, undermine the whole scheme.
- Comment on Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps App 3 months ago:
After that, Apple would ban OSM apps from their store.
- Comment on ‘Enforced veganism’: Ofcom lets GB News flout accuracy rules, say climate campaigners 3 months ago:
And the politically sane should be pushing back hard. If you can legally have misinformation labelled “news” we have a massive problem.
- Comment on ‘Enforced veganism’: Ofcom lets GB News flout accuracy rules, say climate campaigners 3 months ago:
It’s very simple. You can not call yourself “news” and not come under news regulations.

Scale is everything here. That the problem.
- Comment on Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses 4 months ago:
Same problems though. If you run something odd ball like Ubuntu, the banking apps won’t work and you may struggle to have a satnav with traffic info. If you run stock Android, you will soon only be able to install, sorry, “side load”, apps Google approves.
- Comment on Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses 4 months ago:
Me too, but the lords of Technofeudalism, backed by government, won’t allow that forever. Maybe on PCs, but not phones. No “side loading” what they don’t approve. Banks and co, only allowing their apps on approved OSs. No satnav traffic data unless you use an approved satnav, rendering them useless.
The problem isn’t technological, it’s political. We need decent government protecting citizens and enforcing competition laws. The problem is the population don’t understand what is being done to them, so don’t vote against it.
None of it is new. Liberty vs security, monopoly, etc, aren’t new, but wrapping it in technology blinds most people to it.

- Comment on Head of the Signal app threatens to withdraw from Europe 4 months ago:
There are groups to support:
And in the UK:
Some political groups are better than others, but most politicians are clueless.
The key is to get muggles to understand we are living in Technofeudalism and why being digital serfs is bad. The problem is ineffective competition law and that monopolies are bad. That monopolies and standards are not the same thing. I have no idea how. Most people are just naturally compliant and unquestioning of something seemingly so abstract.

The goold old analog hole.
- Comment on Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’ 5 months ago:
This is the dub of the issue. Markets need effective competition. Without it, you get fiefdoms and serfs, and shit products. Antitrust laws have been terrible for decades. Thanks broken political thinking. Slash up the tech monopolies and not just tech will improve.
- Comment on The UK must introduce Gaza Family Visa as it did for Ukraine 5 months ago:
I agree we should be trying stop the ethnic cleansing Israel is doing. But I do think we should be catching those who want to take refuge here due to connections here. Also, Britain did create the Israel/Palestine mess.
I can’t speak to want Arab countries are doing or not doing. It seams they are interesting in maintaining good relations with Israel more.
- Comment on The UK must introduce Gaza Family Visa as it did for Ukraine 5 months ago:
While I’d like to see this, in our rising fascist anti-immigrant political climate, where even the BBC mix up migrant and refugee, it seams unlikely. These are brown Muslims compare with white Christian of Ukraine. Despite attempts to make it illegal, there is a lot of pro-Palestine support, but I don’t think that will translate to a lot of support to bring them here. It should, but won’t. Britain is losing it’s soul.
