So the Daily Fail has completed it's transition to Nazi support then. It wasn't a long journey for them to be honest....
I don't think so.
Only now are Nazis getting a foot hold again, at the same time they are getting a foot hold across the world. It is the after effects of the 2008 crash and Putin putting his thumb on scales where he can (troll farms and corruption).
The fact Germany doesn't stick out as more Nazi that France, or the US, or others, means the original denazification worked.
There was a process : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denazification
A lot of vagueness. How many is "Hundreds"? I guess under 700 or it would be "nearly a thousand".
Then "About a fifth of respondents said they had either decided to spoil their ballot paper or were considering doing so, among them Sharon". How do we know Sharon is reflective of the others? We don't.
It seams like picture painted with not a lot of data, from a self selecting group, that is being cherry picked. Maybe it's reflective, but I got no way of knowing it's even reflective of the few hundred who wrote to The Guardian about it.
This writer got an axe to grind?
Yep, Electronic Frontier Foundation. Key players in Right To Repair in the US. With good history of "fighting for the user".
I can see a lot of comments against copyright here, but has anyone considered the implications of changes to copyright on copyleft?
I argue copyleft is demonstrably socially useful in locking things open. I do wonder if we'll end up the two being different legally....
Can it run problem bank apps? I need a bank auth app for work as the bank stopped fobs and it just would not run on LineageOS. It refused to run because "the phone is insecure". I tried Magisk hiding stuff and MicroG, and a number of way of tricking methods. That's why I ended up on GrapheneOS, as a compromise without feeling too compromised. Everything seams to think it's on a normal Android phone, but I've sandboxed the Google tentacles. But it would be better if mandating OS wasn't allowed. If I want to run a "insecure" phone, that's my "problem".
Age of Earth will be my guess.
They won't want their kids exposed to all that scientific consensus showing it's about 4 billion years old.
I can only speak of on Linux. If you know the disk is bad, clone it, with ddrescue, and fix the clone. But in future RAID and backup remotely. Also, next gen filesystems like ZFS and Btrfs for check sums and self healing and subvolumes with send/receive deltas between them.

I trust Tasmota more than some random closed source thing.
Just because no one else has said, Adam has been involved in EFF for a long time. EEF Podcast episode with him in it:

Which delights me as he's more mainstream and so wakes people up to things like the Right To Repair movement.
But super important and not done enough! Disproving something can save humanity such time.
You can see what he'll be like. Constantly trying to talk more than he would be allowed for his position, then claiming he is being silenced when he's not allowed. If he got himself kicked out for behavior, he'd love it. His followers will lap it all up.
I think more Brexit than Truss, COVID and Russian's war. Two of those are British specific and done to us by Conservative governments. It's their fault.
What I wanted hasn't been implemented.
I want Mixed Member PR (Germany and New Zealand have this), but with score/range voting instead.
I'm glad that had a happy ending and sorry that happen. Autolock is so dangerous.
FPTP has to go, but the further right the government, the hard it is to push them for it. A right Labour is better odds then any Conservative flavor, and it's not like the Conservatives are moving left right now.
There will literally be Tory trolls/bots pushing this narrative to split the Labour vote. Get the Tories out, then push Labour for PR, hard, to keep Tories out of unjust power.
UK's O2 network is blocking duckdns.org domains
It too me a while to work out why my Nextcloud stuff wasn't working on my phone. It wasn't until I went to http://duckdns.org on mobile data I saw the block. I had changed ISP from one with IPv6, which I had setup, to an ISP without it, and thought it might be that. But it was just coincidence.
I've written to O2 but I doubt they will change anything, so I'll be changing network.
So heads up UK O2 self hosting people!
Boxing Android
So I've got Android as I want. LineageOS, no Google, Magisk, MicroG but with AndroidAuto with OsmAnd+.
But the outside world of WhatsApp, Bank apps, etc is putting pressure to join. Plus not everything works properly with MicroG instead of the Google service provider. Makes me cross techno-politically, but I can't always hard life tech choices when it effects others.
So, what do others do? At the moment, I've thinking I need a non-free phone and a free-phone! Then what, I keep swapping SIM?? I can't see a workable VM solution to run a non-free Android in a freer Android.
The state of the phone market is pitiful.
