I sustained myself for 6 months on nothing but being a medical Guinea pig. Because of anonymity laws they couldn’t ask for documentation so it was one of the few gigs I could do without a work permit. I would have loved this experiment, sure as hell beat the “let’s inject pepper under your skin and give you the placebo painkiller” trial I did for three painful weeks (paid $2800 though).

Your link Is broken I think, even when passing the whole thing.
We’ve got coeliac in the family so I would love to read some encouraging news.
The thing is, with modern web technologies, this really ISN’T something the U.K. can actually do. There is nothing preventing me from connecting through Tor or a VPN and hitting a web endpoint that offers encrypted messaging. The whole thing is SO dumb that it’s hard to believe politicians are actually dumb enough to think they can outlaw E2E
Or maybe it wasn’t written well?
“Simplified Privacy is here to help with a VPN solution that can obscure your browser fingerprint and enable you to step back and more clearly see discrimination.”
That sounded like hawking a specific product; I’m sure you could understand why.
You are arguing in the article that a VPN helps obscuring your browser fingerprint - and then say in your response to me that it can’t.
Don’t get me wrong - I support the aims of what you’re trying to achieve. My criticism is to address specific points in the article, not reject your noble aim.
A pilot who’s also a training captain?! Come on, MentourPilot, it’s you, isn’t it?
Psst! The problem is FPTP!
If a normal, proportionally elected parliament, there would be room for an alternative that vouches for the same opinion, but due to their slightly lower level of corruption would be seen an alternative for people who votes republican. Thus, through a free market of ideas (something ‘muricans ought to like) the party that was abandoned by theirs electors would clean up their act and come back stronger.
It works in almost every other democracy!!
PS: you’d probably have to switch your presidential election system to use Approval or Condorcet voting systems.
I'm sure a lot of this is going on ... but this article is pretty poor.
First of all, they are hawking a VPN product. So it is in their interest to make the problem seem big.
Second, they argue VPN can shield against cookies. That's to do with the browser, not the connection.
Third, their frequent use of the loaded "artificial intelligence" just bothers me ... most of the algorithms they describe has nothing to do with AI/ML, but sounds like fairly simple, rules-based decisions. In fact, if I was interested is giving a discount to people who lived close to a competitor of mine, training an ML algorithm to do it sounds error-prone and poor.
I’ve got 4 children. They can barely be in charge of cleaning up after dinner.
So I’m sure they’ll do a better job than our current politicians.
+1 for PhotoSync to NAS. Rock solid for me - the only backup solution for iPhone that actually gets the job done IMHO.
They upload via sftp and from there move into an organised and viewable photo hierarchy on a mirrored, local NAS drive via PhotoPrism (wholeheartedly recommended). An overnight backup from the NAS then moves them to a European and a US cloud storage with different providers (Backblaze B2 in the US and OVH Cloud Archive storage in Germany).
I bet she thinks the song is about her.
There’s no way I’ll ever use this, mostly because good luck trying to open that spreadsheet later.
