The Nordic countries are falling over themselves to get people in to build datacentres. In Sweden, the government literally gave Microsoft the land to build their datacentres on. They've got something like 25x 5 COLO 4 Cell datacentres in various states of contrsuction, and I think another 25 more lined up.

Rotheram added: "It doesn't feel like a bus inside because a bus doesn't have the headroom.

Tell me you don't take buses without telling me you don't take buses.

So long as the instance isn't hosted in the UK and doesn't use any payment services, I don't think they can do anything about it. Other than maybe block the instance via ISPs, like they do with piracy stuff.

Bluesky's implementation of age-based content restrictions is entirely client-side, this is an intentional design decision.

This simply isn't true. It doesn't go through Bluesky in any way, but you do connect to a 3rd party service. Thus it is not "entirely client-side".

You have someone complaining about what people selling AI say it can do, when it can't do that. You see people complaining that AI can't do things, when it can do other things.

You need to try and digest what people are saying better rather than just being contrarian.

Isn't she the one who held up a sign saying something like "Protect Palestine. Action is needed now."? It's a bit convoluted to say that was support for the group Palestine Action, and that arrest, search, and home curfew for several months is an appropriate response.

I can't wait until we have our 3rd dumb fuck vote, after Brexit and Boris, and vote in Nigel Farage. Then the US will go "Hold my beer" and go for Trump for a 3rd time.

The one connecting factor in all this is the Cambridge Analytica style of influencing and stealing elections.

She was arrested at the scene. She was then held for 27 hours, and during that time police searched her home.

I think she was the one holding a sign that read something like "Protect Palestine. Action is needed now" Palestine and Action were on separate lines, and she argued with police that there was a full stop between the words.

I'm sure they're getting right on that with their (checks notes) plans to ban encryption.

"Paid time off work" =/= time off work at your normal pay. There is a very significant drop in income for most people, down to £70 per day, which is £10 an hour if you work 9-5 with a 1 hour lunch or £7 an hour if you normally work 10 hour days. That last one is less than the under 18 minimum wage.

Are you ok? (infosec.pub)
 

I figure it's probably time this community has some formal rules, that way I can properly justify wielding a ban hammer from time to time. So far we've skirted by without a single report or any issues I felt worthy of attention, however someone finally broke my duck and sent a report.

This place is nothing without the users that visit and populate it with content, though, so I'm creating this post to ask you lovely folks how you think the community should be run.

Here's a set of rules I totally made up myself and didn't steal from somewhere else:

Rules

  1. No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.
  2. Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.
  3. No porn.
  4. No Ads / Spamming.

I'd also probably throw something in there about AI images, but I can't be bothered to write that now and my dinner's getting cold.
