If you want to begin to understand this I recommend you read two books, in the following order: The Abolition of Britain - Peter Hitchens The Abolition of Liberty - Peter Hitchens Synopsis: Two worldwide wars led the flower of Britain to be

I'll explain it, since no other local has bothered to. In the UK, those who know don't call the so-called 'DfT - Department for Transport', we call it Department for Roads, because that's what it is. But those who a

double-O says it's not going to reach Birmingham. Word is it will be scrapped. I would have Kim Johngson, Goodun Broon, Warmonger Bliar et al replant every tree they dug up along the route; all whilst singing that old favourite: "

Here's an idea: (medium-complexity) port of android to TCB which partitions /hardware/ (cpu-cache, RAM), on a per app basis. Android's app-based permissions API doesn't require too much work to do this. My perspecti

Now more than ever a truly independent alternative to Google is needed; (with its aims to improve from what Google left behind circa 2016). Is anybody aware of a search engine which would prioritise results properly, i.e: 1) works without J

When you say 'any of that data', you are incorrect. Simply to function (voice recognition) the echo microphone is constantly on, in the same way that any input device needs to be on to function. You're not only incorrect, but

How is it a "colossal failure"? Amazon has tens of millions of these devices which are a 24/7 microphone, and with the wireless transceivers even more data-collection capabilities. THe data is worth more than $10-billion alon

All this musk-style motivation 101 BS is direct from the CIA's manual on domestic espionage - frustration from within. The means define the ends. If you treat people like shit, or as morons who need BS pressure techniques, you'll

Installed apps have lots more stable monetisation options (e.g: getting paid to load an sdk which runs a proxy), and not to mention they can more easily scoop-up alot more data. Most of the claims companies like Reddit make about security&#
