Hopefully we are at the beginning of a change, but I doubt this will come only from the UN.

The UN is the only international democratic institution that - even with its many imperfections - prevents the world to fall into complete anarchy. It's quite telling that it gets ignored since so many years by the country that elevates itself as the world defender of democracy, the US.

The UN has voted for decades for ending the embargo towards Cuba. Every year the outcome of the vote, which has always resulted in a great majority demanding the immediate end of the embargo, has been ignored by the US, resulting in millions of Cubans facing extreme economic consequences since many decades. The last time every country except Israel and US voted for ending the embargo (I might be wrong, maybe a single African state abstained).

In all of this, the only seed of joy I see, was seeing the Cubans a couple of years ago, after decades and decades of seeing their economy strangled by the most powerful country on Earth, roll out their own Covid vaccine just at the same time of those of big Pharma - a vaccine that resulted excellent, effective, and cheap. Hats off for the Cubans. Hope to see some other seed like this also in the Palestinians.

IMHO this is an attempt to legally claim some rights over that land in the future

The most hilarious thing to me in this story is the PR guy who replied "most of the things sold in the US these days require warnings about causing cancer". And everybody seems fine with that. LOL

Thank you for keeping people away from Linux with these kind of opinions. It makes my life as a Linux software engineer much more profitable.

This is the best guide to improve anti-social behaviour in remote workers and disrupt teams. Just refuse to answer when people text you "Hello".

Oh, come on...

Am I loosing time waiting for your "hello" back? Well, guess what: maybe I took it into consideration the fact that you're busy, and that I might be waiting for hours, but not answering at all only makes you a jerk.

This is far from politely refusing "quick calls" when busy. And no: you can't be always busy: if you want to keep telling yourself you're working in a team you need to allocate a reasonable amount of time to social interactions.

Do you really expect me to send you a calendar event invitation to have a quick call with you once in a month? To update you about something that might even interest you? Maybe it's not going to be communicated in the most efficient way possible, as would be with an email, but certainly it will be done in a way that would keep us human beings, not mentioning the fact that it would also improve team work.

If you do, please do not expect me to sit next to you if we happen to meet in person, and be happy and friendly.

Is it kind of related to https://www.makotemplates.org/ ? Hence the name?

Hi, nice project. The Single Sign On using Gitlab does not work

The british are known for being this kind of people. They must be isolated and boycotted.

This is simply ridicolous. The urgency to do anything, just to show the others you're doing something looks so stupid to me.

I think these kind of moves only help making things worse.

Man: if you weren't able to design a big, centralized system that works, don't repeat the same propaganda you were fed with for years: that is, that central state-level planification don't work. Look at China, and tell them their system is going to crash. They will laught at you, and you deserve it.

Stop repeating this propaganda and start questioning your assumptions. You are saying that we need some kind of overall hierarchy and regulamentation. This is what the world is trying to do since decades with international organizations. Like the UNO, who is asking since almost thirty years to stop the embargo against Cuba.

Start complying with the international rules and the world's democratic institutions, then come back giving us a lesson about what we need to do.

This is ridicolous, they block the account of people for no reason, making them loose years of messages, and now they come up with encrypted backups... they should focus on improving their support. They have only an email address for support. Try to get your account unblocked if their AI decides to block you. Good luck

Twitter's AI is automatically blocking accounts of people who put a bunch of hot words in their tweets, even though they are trying to communicate the opposite of the "5G COVID vaccine conspiracy".

It has became ridicolous how many pages simply render blank without javascript, and many are just simple articles/text-and-images without any functionality at all. I agree 100% with the author of this article. The whole concept of throwing angular/vue/react just for a blog doesn't make any sense in the first place.

This is exactly why I did assign a static IP to my HP printer, and firewalled to block it from getting internet access.

can you please share details about your setup?

for example, can you share the content of the userChrome.css and the trydactyl configuration needed to bind 'b' with the toggle action?

yes,... websites like google meet, that opportunistically penalize firefox users in order to expand chrome user base...

This article is misleading,... it's suggesting there exist a correlation between executive salary increase and popularity decrease. The reality is that people are - as always - supporting monopolies because it's easier for them and they are lazy.

State-run doesn't mean anything... BBC is also state-run.

It goes to the reputation of the single journalist. In this case the journalist is just citing Frank Hartig, "Oberarzt der Universitätsklinik Innsbruck"

I don't have the knowledge to judge his papers and have an opinion about his credibility, but someone else might: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Frank_Hartig

It's actually a pretty common thing for big corporations: this decision was publicly taken by a government, so it couldn't end up unnoticed so easily, but this lack of morality is the standard way of doing. Take for example when big companies decide about the lives of third world countries within their board of directors, in private.

I agree with what you say, but I also believe they did their pretty accurate calculations, and the net result is still going to be positive for them.

Electors have extremely short-time memory and are in most part deeply ignorant. Moreover, at the time the next UK elections will come, there will be enough "fresh" new elder people to fool. BTW they can still blame China, Italy, for the disease. At that time, people will believe them. Look at what Trump did with the US. If the mayority in 320 million believed Trump then there is no way the mayority in 66 million could not believe Johnson.

Insulted by my writing? they should be insulted by their government. It's been Boris Johnson that said "prepare to loose loved ones before their time", not me.

UK will survive, UK's economy will survive, they are consciously sacrificing many of their elders and weaker people - who are in most part a mere cost for the society - in favour of young and productive individuals. They are rationally addressing the consequencies of Brexit by doing so, taking an advantage over EU, who is likely to fall into recession. UK traded their moral for their economy.

Why should they support it further if it cannot be used to track users?

the difference is all data on protonmail servers is stored encrypted, and users have decryption keys in their client apps

With regard to email services, I'm a happy Protonmail user. I recommend it to everybody. It's free and it allegedly stores only encrypted data on the servers.

I try also to avoid spreading too much information while browsing by using some Firefox Add-ons like Noscript (set to block Google Analytics and others by default) and Cookie Autodestruct to allow persistent cookies only on Personal and Work tab containers.

Mozilla is doing a pretty good job with privacy issues.

What do you mean with "If you use a private email server google still have a copy of every email you [..] received"?

You are 100% right. The Church, but in general all religious organizations, are and have always been a plague for the society.

Curious though, how you're trying to attack me for having criticized your country. This is typical of those who cannot debate critically, and need to oppose whoever doesn't share their own beliefs. Like nationalists. Or fundamentalists.

Your try to move the focus to me (or my country) is nice but had no effect. This article is about something which is legal in your country, not in mine. In my country child abuses are performed by criminals, in your country they are backed up by law.

I totally understand and agree with your analysis of the problem, but I think blaming other people wouldn't make me feel better if I were in your shoes.

I think my last comment is quite relevant, and even though it might sound provocative, it's deadly sincere. I never thought that in a western country someone could allow this. I also agree that I don't know the situation so well, but discovering the existence of this practice in the US (and most importantly the fact that it is going on since so much time - accepted by the population) is a step forward in understanding your "culture".
