Seems sensible, Labour are a center-right neoliberal capitalist party again now. Who else is a bright young rightwinger gonna vote for?
Sounds like this Cudi fellow has written a song about star Trek. I hope it's as good as The Firm's song about Star Trek. Weird that Paramount would be so into it instead of threatening to sue.

They should teach defensive web-browsing in schools.
They will not be forcing me to accept personalized ads. How are they going to personalize them when I have no reddit account, block their cookies, use a VPN and change my IP address often, and don't use their website.
Elite-strap with battery appears to be a thing they try and up-sell you with upon ordering.
Needs to have a front battery in order to flog a back-battery?
What else could they do? They're already big in AI. Just more share-buy-backs to pump the price most likely?
@detalferous@lemm.ee You don't need a Facebook account, but you will need a Meta account, which is arguably basically the same thing.
It's a stand-alone android machine, so it's using a linux kernel most likely. But that isn't what you mean. You won't be able to easily wipe the OS and install anything else.
Not sure if it has a link-cable to connect to a Steam PC like the Quest2 had. If so then that will work to connect it to Linux just as well as any other headset, but VR on Linux/Steam in general is pretty poor.
If I buy one I'll ban it from WIFI except when actually downloading games.
She's mostly right, other than that there never was any moral high-ground outside the propaganda of the western press. We have always been hypocritical on human rights and justifications for invasions.
He'll promise not to cut off their heads, but not enforce that law.
The law is in no way fixed and passing it will still be a terrible thing for a country that claims it wants to be a tech colossus.
Westminster hasn't blinked, they intend to pass a law which they then intend to not prosecute. Selectively enforced laws are awful.
This government remains awful, the bill remains awful, and the sooner all of westminster can be shut down the better. We will only be safe if we can free the country from the wankers in Westminster palace completely and entirely.
Ban westminster, not encryption!
It's weird the way the government is on one hand fighting a legal battle to hide the contents of their whatsapp messages during the pandemic, while on the other hand they are fighting a legal battle to expose the content's of everyone's whatsapp messages to the law.
It's not really so much that there is a "tipping point" after which the tech companies will exit Britain, it's that if you make their product illegal then they have no choice but to stop making it available.
If you make encryption illegal, companies providing encrypted messages apps will obviously have to stop doing so, that isn't a tipping point, it is the intended effect of the law.
Worth noting that paying for a license for software doesn't stop it being spying malware either. In fact the pirate versions often take out the spying and the reporting-to-homebase that proprietary software does.
The photoshop that phones home to check a license is arguably more malicious than the pirate version that has been cracked so it doesn't do that.
Seats there are so uncomfortable you're probably better off standing. At least you can move about a bit. Important if you're in your gimp suit.
Because I'm never logged into Google and use a VPN their search-engine just puts me into infinite captcha loop anyway now. Can't even use Google if I want to. They've basically banned anonymous use.
This code will only ever be installed on my machines by force against my will.
No benefit to any users at all, all benefit only to Google and their Advertisers.
