Yeah I agree that it needs to be made public, I just think that the infiltration of Chinese on the UK's electrical network is another, separate issue on top of that. Rather than the two being directly related - or more specifically that some deal in the electrical sector is the reason why that memorandum hasn't been made public. There's probably some other reason the memorandum isn't being released.

This article was clearly written by someone who has no idea how technology works, but knows how to spin up buzzwords.

This is also the man who wrote the law.

My south west tap water either smells like sewage or a swimming pool, nowhere in between, and if I try to use a Brita filter the filter goes off within a week.

I'm more concerned that Palestine Action may have itself been lobbied or infiltrated by Russian assets, as many of their actions have seemed to do little to affect Israel's war but instead hinder Ukraine.

Yeah I mean, a lot of upcoming BESS sites use Chinese batteries with Chinese controllers, it's a bit more difficult to prove a vulnerability is being exploited there when you're literally relying on hardware and software directly from China. But that's kind of separate to this deal, it's not the government buying Chinese equipment for the grid but businesses. Kind of feels like the article is talking about two different problems.

It's already happened on reddit, various Gaza subreddits are age gated. Anything NSFW is age gated, not just porn but things from Alcoholic Anonymous to chairs Not Fully Submerged in Water on r/chairsunderwater. XBox Live is age gated, because apparently this wasn't about preventing kids from seeing porn like they originally said but it's now about preventing children from talking to adults.

However I don't think it's to do with Palestine Action specifically. That's a separate thing, where an organisation that posed a not-insignificant military threat was dealt with in a clunky way using terrorism laws (which cover threats to civilians). I don't consider those in charge to be clever enough to set all that up in that way; rather, they'd already planned to use the Online Safety Act in this way and would have blocked anything they deemed controversial regardless.

Eh, that's the position they have to take to win as many votes as they can. I'd be more interested in their position after an election - in particular what they do over what they say.

Lol I didn't realise lemm.ee actually had communities of any notable size...

Edit: Lmao

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.

Fucking about time!! There are kids today who've never seen a British sketch show.

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.

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.
