I was actually directly addressing your comment about the your independent org for these identity tokens. There is no value because it cannot guarantee privacy. Therefore it has no…

The entire point of using a VPN is so that you don't have to provide photo card ID to a third party. So obviously there is a problem. Most of these VPNs provide alternative payment…

Firstly, I didn't even mention what the value might be. I simply pointed out that the "independent organisation" would not really be independent. Which means it won't protect anyon…

What you are telling me in effect is that all the exchanges I have are ultimately disingenuous with the MP. It also tells me that the MP represents the party and not me (as they ar…

> You would need the non-governmental agency to share the urls with the government agency for the activity to be tied directly which would undermine the entire purpose of that arch…

The "coordinated corporate fascists" (your words not mine) are providing a platform where I can challenge the the state and be seen by potentially millions of people.

If your ID is tied to your anonymous identity this creates a chilling effect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilling_effect

The response is the same boilerplate responses I used to get when I used to write to my MP. This is why I just gave up emailing my MP. You are essentially pleading with someone to …

Most content websites that are managed by a organisation such as a council/government or are usually driven by some CMS software. Updates are usually done by a content/social media…

> Presumably many customers pay with a debit/credit card already so there's some PII on file? Yes. But I think most of the zero logs providers will remove the identifiable payments…

> Even better, they could have created a non-governmental agency to exchange tokens and urls to prevent the privacy issue of the government knowing which sites people are visiting.…

> If you do not agree with an amendment then write to your MP, write to the ministers concerned. If you do not tell them your concerns they will not know. It is an utter waste of t…

> To stop it now we need a majority of MPs who are willing to take a political risk to reject it. Which isn't going to happen.

I don't think it is really a fair test because I doubt the browser is going to use any of the video decoding hardware that maybe available. I suspect if you used something native t…

A lot of places just don't do this. Unless there is a threat of a written warning some devs will do the bare minimum. I currently work with a guy that sometimes doesn't even run th…

I think Yes Minister has some good clips on YouTube but I can't watch it for a whole episode.

I look through commit messages and try to link it up to a Jira ticket and piece it together. Often the original developer has left, or if they are still present doesn't remember wh…

There is so much wrong here I don't really know where to start. There is a bunch of the usual flawed assumptions on things that haven't been relevant in decades. So I am going to p…

TBH there is a few standout really good British shows and the rest is forgotten about. A lot of humour in some of shows was really tied to the time of making and a lot of audiences…

I actually didn't see that era as a Golden era and actually much prefer the sketch shows in the 80s and 90s such has the Fast Show. I don't like any Mitchell and Webb stuff and don…
