Wasn't there a country that ran an XMPP chat server or similar for it's citizens? I'm trying to find the details but failing. I'm sure I read about it in the last couple of years.

aside from the fact that for a variety of reasons, the BBC is not truly independent, if it's possible to build such an independent media company "funded via tax" then why isn't it possible to do the same for a social med

"What escapes the left completely, is that there is a free market. Which can and always does a better job than central planning." It might escape them, or it might not be universally true. You might not be from the UK but surely y

why would a public UK social network need a global CDN and storage capacity for billions of users?

and it's worth looking at what effect just the existence of the BBC has on other news and media here in the UK. Take the childrens television the BBC produces - extremely high quality and very low cost. Raises the bar for all other (pr

If GCHQ access is assumed a common "feature" of both Facebook and "GovBook" then it's irrelevant when choosing between the two. So assuming all else is equal, if GovBook has a charter to harness data only for the pu

Does the game show adverts in-game? Is the game free or do you pay for it? Sounds insane! I'd be upset enough about the ads nevermind the added salt of tracking!

If the story, or viewpoint, is simply not available in the sources because of their common bias then reading multiple sources and making your own opinion won't help. It's difficult to form an opinion about issues that are not pres

The Guardian is reliant on advertising as much as subscriptions (though there is then the income from its trust investments and other assets, which are dwindling and at risk). The BBC is reliant on the support of the UK government, who esse

The problem you have is with the view points that are simply not represented by any of those outlets - you can't compare several sources and find the middle for those things. What kind of view points might be consistently ignored or

I did it to mock his justification of his ban, which isn't at all clear. Wish he'd just say "I've banned phoned because I don't like them". Fine by me, I don't like them either.

I'd just like a bit more precision and perhaps more honesty. He says it's about being a more human experience but I don't know what that means and he makes no effort to explain it clearly, instead muddying the waters. I have

So is clapping part of the agreement when I go to a gig? Why is it wasting time playing to people who don't clap. Is he doing it for the claps? Why do I have to pay then? Can I pay extra to get a ticket which allows me not to clap? You

I emailed oneplus support and complained about their data collection and their lack of documentation about what is collected. Let them know actual paying customers care about this. It's not much but it's not nothing.

compared to Firefox 52 and Chrome, it's a big improvement. And Safari isn't available on Ubuntu or Windows, so it scores a 0 on those platforms ;) https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/quantum-performance-test&#x2F

bleach rapidly breaks down into salt and water. I'd be more worried about the salt being too abrasive on your non-stick pans ;)

I did wonder if being fully free might encourage more users who might fund you in other ways but Borg backup isn't making very much like that, so perhaps not: https://www.bountysource.com/teams/borgbackup The AGPL

It matters to me as a personal user because my use of duplicacy might change at some point and suddenly I'd lose rights to use it (unless I pay). I'd lose rights to any development contributions I might have made unless I pay. And

It doesn't meet the free software foundation's definition of free software, which I believe was the original point. It lacks the freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0). https://en.wikipedia.

I meant more specifically people like Mark Hamill. I'm sure celebrities feel under constant surveillance from fans. Feels like this might be taking it to another level. But obviously he chose to tweet about it in the first place, so it

Must admit that this seems a bit creepy to me! I guess he's just amused but I wonder if it starts him thinking, is this game monitoring me personally? How else can I be targeted?

The removal of the route cache caused a notable change in behaviour for equal cost routes. When there was a cache, you got a kind of session stickiness for free. Which meant you could do some fairly good load balancing at the network layer
