Turk in a box you say? I'm shocked! Shocked!

I honestly don't care if it's that he was not born male, or a micro penis, or "it was cold". None of it excuses him pushing/living such toxic masculinity. Over compensating is no excuse.

I'm sorry, but competition is good.

Installing some closed blob into your kernel, that's on you.

The problem is if anything is not enough competition. We just saw a centralized monoculture fall over.

So teens learn about Tor & VPNs. This stuff doesn't work. The higher you put the skills to get access, the more they will learn. Nothing motivates teens more than access to adult stuff. Maybe this is really a tech literacy policy.

Seriously, no one is going to mention "Right To Repair"? If this was law, and companies had to divulge how there stuff worked and was assembled, as well as sell parts, things would last longer. If every trade zone had a repairablity index, competition would make things last longer still.

And forced the hardware obsolescence nightmare.

And the big tech surveillance nightmare.

And the nightmare of the war on general purpose computers. (OK, that is more GNU and GPLv3)

And a few other nightmares!

Nope. The vandalism is by the troll farms and a weapon of the quiet information war waging against reality.

This is economics now, not politics. US can go full crazy Trump, but the grid will just keep getting greener as greener is cheapest. He can rant and rave about global warming being a conspiracy or anything else, but it's unstoppable now.

Well done Uruguay.

The logic is deterrence.

I mean it's stupid, but that's what the supporters think.

The thing they are missing is that no one commits a crime thinking they will get caught. So ever increasing the deterrence doesn't help.

Drugs is a public health issue, no really criminal. Prohibition doesn't work with things done at scales like drugs and alcohol. You're just feeding the criminal gangs.

It's a closed browser from a data mining company, of course it kept on mining the user. The "The user didn't want this tracked" is probably juicy information to mark what they were looking at with.

This will be an interesting case.
