We saw the same in London after the 2012 riots. Instead of stopping the rioting and looting the police let it go on and then took all the cctv and arrested the perpetrators after the event. It’s lazy policing, hundreds of shops got damaged

You missed all those wildfires then?

Chesley Sullenberger had a pretty high profile accident but I think I’d still prefer to fly with him at the controls (if he hadn’t retired). I don’t think this is a good metric to measure pilots by.

Nah, I don’t want a platform for Nazis or white supremecists or paedophiles or heroine dealers. If that makes me a bad person in other people’s eyes then I’m fine with that.

Indeed. LUKS key on tpm2 with secure boot with /boot on encrypted seems anything but easy to setup. I also complicate things by making everything apart from efi on zfs.

This means systemd needs to live on an unencrypted volume though, right? Seems like a bit of a weakness given how much systemd can actually do. I went with LUKS1 which grub can unlock.

It reads like someone suffering with depression. Obviously that’s not something that can be diagnosed by me, or anyone else from a blog post but I would advise the author look into that, just in case.

So go back to charging a small fee. People used to pay it and with the network effect they still would.

I think you (and many others) are confusing a right to freedom of speech with a right to publication. Publishers and editors have been deciding on people's behalf what should and should not be published for hundreds of years. You might

Twitter is still up significantly from just one year ago. Investors expect the odd blip, and this isn't the only one in the last 6 months. Long term they've done well, so they're happy. They're not going to start asking

Jack had every right, it’s his website. He pays for it, so he gets to decide what appears on it. The same would apply to anyone else running a website. This is not a new idea.

Jaywalking doesn’t even need to be a crime at all. In a lot of parts of the world it isn’t and we do just fine.

Not sure everyone would agree with that the main job of government is to grant you more freedom. Careful regulation is just as important imho.

The UX was, well, Marmite at best but they solved the real issues - porting the OS to Qualcomm SOC (instead of the discontinued TI OMAP) and adding 4g support.

It was largely BS to justify the pivot to Windows phone. Jolla demonstrated that the problems with Meego could be solved with far fewer resources than Nokia put into their pointless Windows phone migration.

It’s a good deal, but only for the EU. They have a goods trade surplus with the UK and they retain their free trade agreement. The UK has a services trade surplus with the EU (particularly financial services) and that is not included in the

- Google search results will start becoming way better and super personalised as their data efforts start results. I can believe they’ll do this but it won’t make the results better. Google search would go the way of YouTube.
