I still dont really understand how this works. Can someone point me to a guide suitable for idiots? I like the idea of how this works I just don't understand how to configure it.

There's no accused person.

If it were illegal it wouldn't be in place, full stop. This is the crown prosecution service, what ever you may or may not think of them, their procedures have to be legal. If a procedure that is in place is challenged in a court and found by the court to be illegal then fine, it gets changed. But those following said procedure beforehand are not breaking the law and are acting in good faith.

But data retention isset in law (at the time under the 1998 act, and now the gdpr and 2018 act) and the cps follows those laws like everyone else must. Their procedures follow these laws.

Oh dear.

'Could be' and 'are' are two different things.

Where's your actual evidence they are illegal? You don't have any.

What reason do you have to assume this procedure is illegal? Other than some kind of irrelevant association with the surveillance program of a different part of the government proving to be illegal.

I'll gladly accept the procedure is illegal provided with proof it is, so... over to you.

And also no reason to expect their procedures to be illegal either. True enough about the surveillance, but the two things aren't connected, just because one procedure was illegal doesn't make all government procedures illegal.

Lack of backbone, cowardly backstabbing behaviour, condescending opinion of all the people he managed. He was a bully and oppressive. He was of the opinion he would progress if he disciplined someone so he was always trying to screw someone over.

On the flip side I'm now untouchable as far covering my own ass when it comes to these wankers.

Is this just another Firefox OS? It strikes me as another side project they'll abandon later.

I can understand Firefox OS, I wish they'd persevered, but I don't really get this.

On its own I don't think this makes sense. Maybe in the context of an in game browser.

But then who am I to comment.

Well worth it. It's a long slog. I've never read anything on this scope before. There are so many characters and story lines I can't imagine how the author kept track! Brilliant series, nothing else like it.

I have my 'home directory' on a separate drive to the system drive which I simlink to from the home directory in the system drive. It means I can install OS's anytime without touching my files. I symlink to some dot files too. Once I learn bash better I will automate it like I have with reinstalling all my favourite programs.

Reference statements the solution is simply to write out the statement and sign it physically, keep the original, and provide copies.

I think technologies like deep fake may affect things like CCTV evidence, especially if it's veracity is thrown into doubt. I can see courts, where I live, having a hard time with this as currently CCTV evidence is treated as a truthful and objective account of people's actions beyond reproach.
