Part of the Communications Act 2003 has come into force.
As a member of the public I'm confused as to why these laws don't automatically sunset if left unactivated. Certainly after more than 20 years, and significant changes in the makeup of Parliament.
(This change is just about classifying significant events, eg, sporting events.)

"the spectre of communism is stalking Europe" factoid actually just statistical error. Most places in Europe have never been visited by the spectre of communism. Karl Marx, who lives in Engels's apartment and is stalked by 10,000 spectres of communism, is an outlier and should not have been counted

Mehr Bilder von #Bibliotheken auf #wikicommons fände ich super. Ich habe hier kurz ein paar Dinge zusammengeschrieben für den Einstieg:

Constantly coming across interesting things while making demo setups for showing off ngscopeclient filters.
Here, I'm looking at the fall time of a 10 MHz reference clock coming off my Leo Bodnar GPS NTP server. This isn't quite as clean as the 10 MHz off the SRS FS752 GPSDO on the other side of the lab, but the NTP server lives on the main IT rack next to the scope in the VM server that I'm using for this test, so it was a convenient test signal source.
I expected it…

It's been a while since I used #Ubuntu. Glad I'm not anymore, otherwise I'd have to search for a new distro now... #aislop

Despite hundreds of public comments opposing a giant space mirror that would shine a beam of light roughly five kilometres wide back down to Earth,
the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), has given it the green light.
The company building the space mirror, Reflect Orbital, is touting its proposal as "sunlight on demand,"
which could be used for any number of reasons, it says, such as agriculture, solar farms or for search and rescue.

ANALYSIS | U.S. FCC approves giant space mirror to deliver 'sunlight on demand,' but what are the legal implications? | CBC News
Despite hundreds of public comments opposing a giant space mirror that would shine light roughly five kilometres wide, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), has given it the green light. What could this mean for Canadians?

Multiple storms and more coming. Back yard looks like we could float a yacht. I am almost 66 and I have never seen weather like this. Three storms so far today and more coming

Un lundi qui commence par l'identification Š 3h50 d'un cri de #chouette hulotte dans mon application Merlin (alors que jusqu'Š présent l'appli s'était toujours refusée Š identifier le moindre animal nocturne du coin), bah c'est un lundi qui commence bien ! #birding

Just started listening to this one, and I'd absolutely recommend it. It's great.
It's really hard to explain how complicated beliefs can be, especially to folks in an urban bubble. The truth is, part of my anarchism came from listening to #rural folks. I didn't really live in a big city until I was like 18, but I came to those places already with a set of liberal biases.
Some of the things I experienced in those places pushed me towards being a Communist. But there are some strangely anarchistic tenancies, even in those who profess to be politically the opposite.
My stance on guns was largely shaped by understanding and extending the arguments of rural gun owners. They continued to evolve long after, but it took actually listening to break through my liberal biases and understand the ways in which gun control can actually intersect with other forms of oppression. There is a lot more nuance than I had grown up to believe.
And it goes both ways. Conservative gun owners have absolutely no intellectual against anarchist gun arguments. They're generally either gonna fall into racism that you can talk about, or start to radicalize left. There are plenty of similar pathways.
But also, not everyone in rural areas is conservative. There are plenty of rural anarchists and communists. They just get buried under stereotypes.
Anyway, this has been great to listen to and I'd recommend it.

Maybe, as part of reviewing the UK government use of WhatsApp, there'll be a recommendation to adopt something based on [matrix] ?
