I had rooted the phone and it gave me 90 days to reset with no extension at the end. I moved to the co-op bank, which is sufficiently old school that proper web based online banking is very important to them. Their products are a bit less a

Visa and MasterCard, for a start: if a bank issues any kind of commonly accepted debit card to someone who is sanctioned then what is at stake is that bank's ability to continue issuing those cards. Realistically, the bank would be des

Ditch apps on your phone and pick banking that gives good, robust online banking. I was cut off by Starling for something similar and had to choose between a factory reset of my phone and my bank. I explained that my phone had free software

Not exactly a judge or jury. IIRC a common law assault can go on with only the subjective experience of threat. Hard to prove, but the bar is not objective. See: https://sentencingcouncil.org.uk/resources/common-offence

I've linked elsewhere to the Hippocratic License, which freely refers to itself as open source while specifically being built around refusing licensing based on ethical considerations. OSI don't own the term open source, and the s

I think some variation of the Hippocratic License will probably work for you. See: https://firstdonoharm.dev/ There isn't an explicitly anti-AI element for this yet but I'd wager they're working on it. If not

Id be stunned if we didn't find out Anna's Archive is a front for a handful of shadier VCs who are into AI. Even if AA themselves don't know it and just take the cash.

The capital intensity of browsers is so high that there won't be any alternatives unless standards evolve to be simpler and easier to implement. That won't happen while Google and co are driving.

Given the amounts being raised and spent, one imagines that the ROI will be appalling unless the pesky humans learn to live on cents a day, or the world economy grows by double digits every year for a few decades.

The greenest AI will be connected to district heat networks instead of being cooled with air or water. It isn't even faintly green when heat is treated as a byproduct instead of a co-benefit.

The only actual hope is a common European defence policy (and industry) independent of NATO. The day Germany agrees to it, the dominos might fall, and the USA might realise what it has lost.
