There's got to be a way to shoehorn in a Spinal Tap reference here, I just haven't had enough coffee yet to think of it.

The height of the stones goes to 13!

We'll see. I can't be the only voter fed up with how Labour are handling this.

I find they way that Peter Kyle and Jess Philips have dismissed privacy concerns about online surveillance particularly condescending.

Come the next general election they are going to be paid back for this.

(Oh, and I appreciate Signal speaking up and have just donated to them again for doing so).


The idea is that people who have politics like yours can be “visited” by the police and asked to “voluntarily” come down to the station for an interview about “hateful rhetoric” on social media. Doesn’t matter how you vote if actual political opposition is outlawed, which is where the UK is heading rapidly aided by digital surveillance.

Anyone can be visited by anyone and asked anything. Isn't that part of freedom?

Is that entirely fair?

Their Pocket Operators are pretty cheap and accessible.


They're like $100! That's not affordable for a thing that makes beeps and boops. I can only hope behringer continues to undercut them on things I care about.

Yes, casing matters. It carries meaning.

It's the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

This headline makes it sound like the IT systems of a cosmetic surgeon have been attacked by poultry.


Exactly. "Earth" means the planet we live on and "earth" means soil. The disrespect of the meaning conveyed by not using the correct case is noxious and sloppy.

You guys are being too case sensitive.

You do know that London has a relatively low homicide rate don't you?

Knife crime is generally an order of magnatude lower than many US cities I'd also be happy to visit.

It's higher than the rest of the UK but then it is a big city.

(I live in a very rural and crime free part of the UK but love visiting London).

There's also essentially zero overlap between the people who complain about knife crime, and the people who encounter knife crime in London.

Sadly I can imagine car manufacturers using dark patterns to make the options really annoying, just like they do with cookies.

You’ll get some shit like one big “agree to all” button and 200 small opt-out buttons that reset weekly.


> The end state is something like China, where petty street level crime is essentially solved.

That’s also true for many states that don’t have the same coverage of CCTV and total lack of privacy.

These are NOT two sides of the same coin.


Where is petty street crime solved without massive government intrusion?

Japan for starters, Taiwan for seconds.

Land deal?

Russia has never asked for a land deal. They started the war and their goal has always been the total destruction of Ukraine and the enslavement of the people.

Where they’ve pulled back from occupied areas they’ve mass civilian graves and bodies with signs of torture.


Stop spreading propaganda.

- Ukrainians are the second largest ethnicity in Russia.

- The majority of people living on a currently contested territories of Ukraine used to be USSR citizens.

- Russia got the majority of Ukrainian refugees since the start of a war if we count per country.

- Pretty much all the former Ukraine citizens got Russian passports and a citizens of Russia now.

- And yes, if Ukraine is using cities as fortresses and do not evacuate civilians from there, high chances are that after weeks and months long battles those civilians end up in graves with nasty wounds on their bodies.


> And yes, if Ukraine is using cities as fortresses and do not evacuate civilians from there, high chances are that after weeks and months long battles those civilians end up in graves with nasty wounds on their bodies.

"Nasty wounds" like their hands tied behind their backs and a hole in the back of their skull? That kind of thing?

That sounds like the definition of a war crime to me.

> - Ukrainians are the second largest ethnicity in Russia.

No. Never was. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_in_Russia

> - Russia got the majority of Ukrainian refugees since the start of a war if we count per country.

No. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1312584/ukrainian-refuge...

You might be confusing abductees with refugees.

> - The majority of people living on a currently contested territories of Ukraine used to be USSR citizens.

The majority of people living on contested territories of United States in 1775 used to be British citizens. So?

> - And yes, if Ukraine is using cities as fortresses and do not evacuate civilians from there, high chances are that after weeks and months long battles those civilians end up in graves with nasty wounds on their bodies.

Absolutely vile propaganda.


I agree with what you say, but "Never was" is contradicted by your Wikipedia link, which shows Ukrainians in the second position at the 1926 census, being overtaken by Tatars in the more recent censuses.

However, it is not said which is the territory for the 1926 census data, it may have included a part of the present territory of Ukraine, because the borders of present Ukraine are very different from the borders of Ukraine after WWI.

Such census data about Russia and the Soviet Union are hard to interpret without precise knowledge of the corresponding territories, because the fluctuations in numbers may be unrelated to natural growth, but determined by administrative reorganizations or forced deportations.


And literally none of this matters and it's a laundry list of loser russian propaganda

Funny how those reasons don't matter in the least when it's time for russian losers to bomb civilians in Kyiv


> Ukrainians are the second largest ethnicity in Russia.

Ukrainian were second largest ethnicity in Russian Empire/Russian federation until massive massacre in 1932-1934 years, when an uknown number of Ukrainians between 7 million (confirmed by Russian Duma at 04.02.2008, adults only, childrens are not counted) and 25 millions (total number of USSR citizens died because of hunger, number from soviet archives captured by Germans in 1941) was murdered or starved to death.


What’s your point?

Those same C and C++ libraries can be just as easily be called from other languages like ruby.


That's not true at all. Many readline and terminal based clients support vi bindings, you just have to enable them. e.g. stuff like psql.

The shells themselves also support vi binding.

Outside of the terminal tools like Vimium add support to browsers and many other interfaces.


Readline supports Emacs bindings by default, and so do many textboxes (e.g. Ctrl-backspace, ctrl-arrow key), so that argument is stronger for Emacs than vi.
