Fair play to Twitch for biting the bullet and doing it - I remember Twitter, Reddit and many more committing to tackle bots, but I suspect that when top management see the data and impact to their sweet sweet equity of half their platform numbers vanishing overnight they suddenly have different priorities

inb4 the supreme court rules that congestion charging is unconstitutional and furthermore that public transport, too, is unconstitutional.

fun fact, in the UK the offence is “failing to decrypt the device when required to do so” making these measures quite dangerous.

That said, unless you are being charged under a national security crime, the maximum sentence for “failing to decrypt the device when required to do so” is up to two years, so the game’s the game.

actually it appears as though the House voted today to change the definition of anti-semitism to include criticism of the state of Israel, so in fact it now is anti-semitic to point out those things.

councils have been bankrupted by successive cuts over the last decade such that its a miracle some can still collect bins.

current government have no interest in causing trouble for their school friends, biggest party donors and future employment prospects.

In addition to what others have already posted, I suspect that this might be an attempt to evade spam/phishing filters that are looking for an IP address with a specific regular expression. Having a fake IP address that doesn’t match the traditional ^((25\[0-5]|(2\[0-4]|1\d|\[1-9]|)\d)\\.?\b){4}$ format might let this message slip through.

Tor operator here.

If you don’t have a second IP for your relay, don’t host at home. You will have CAPTCHAs everywhere, many sites will block you and your ISP will eventually contact you to stop degrading their IP space reputation.

Most website owners don’t discriminate between Tor exits and relays. They subscribe to block-lists that include all known Tor IP addresses. Major online services will make your browsing experience really shitty and once you’re a “known Tor IP” it will take months to remove that reputation.

You can run a Bridge instead, but you will eventually have the same problem.

This is a shit tier British tabloid and the odds of them getting some magic inside scoop on a story that no one else is reporting is astronomical.

Our climate is changing and we need research like this to ensure that we can still grow food productively in regions where weather is causing crops to fail.

geo engineering is a stopgap solution. it enables the continuation of fossil fuel burning, and rampant over consumption. it does nothing to prevent ecosystem collapse in our oceans, decline of breathable air or extinction of native species.

when you hear “geo engineering”, think of “clean coal” and “sustainable aviation fuel,” because they are one and the same

Calling it now - it will be written in such a way that Musk’s motley crew will be required to maintain it or update proprietary closed source components at extreme cost forever - practically guaranteeing he will always have full access to the data and be able to charge what he likes for any changes whoever takes power after Trump is gone.

There’s a carefully designed process that involves sealing the phones in faraday bags so they can’t communicate with the outside worlds, and then replacing/reprogramming certain components so the phone works outside of the Find My ecosystem.

These phones are reprogrammed and re-chipped en masse and then sent all over the world. See all those “mobile phone repair” shops all over your high street/strip mall? they’re all getting their stock from the same place.

Apple operating the hardware pairing scheme is just a cat and mouse game with this industry.
