Comment Self-Hosting (Vaultwarden) (Score 1) 69

I love that I can self-host Bitwarden, and I do it with Vaultwarden, which is open source, so I have no fear of it going away. But if the company got really obnoxious and blocked self-hosted servers from the browser plugins, then I would be in big trouble. I don't think the changes listed suggest that they're going to do that anytime soon, but it's something I want to keep an eye out for.

Comment RTFA: Not Office per se, Cloud licensing of Office (Score 2) 56

This isn't about Office. This is about Office 365 and Azure, and how a license is bundled when you use Azure but unbundled if you wanted to use 365 and, for example, AWS.

It's a shame because I wish they would, but the gov.uk link explicitly talks about "CMA’s cloud market investigation – Microsoft’s use of software licensing reducing competition in cloud".

This won't be what people are hoping for here - actual Office. This is purely about licensing costs with regards to cloud deployments.

It's the original founder at least, Kevin Rose. I had a look at the relaunched I-can't-believe-it's-not-Reddit version and it was...ok'ish. But yes, they were unprepared for the bots in the main forums and unfortunately the place never got big enough to have any traffic in the smaller ones.

It's ironic - I looked at Reddit before The Great Migration following Dig...err...3? whatever the fiasco revision was. Like many others, I moved when that version of Digg appeared. I was interested when Digg said they were coming back, because Reddit has become a bit tiresome other than the smaller, subject-specialised subs. Alas though, never took off.

Comment Re:Good. Existing laws have loopholes for "e-bikes (Score 1) 244

Most importantly, a motorcycle (or moped) MUST be in the traffic lanes. It is not allowed in the bike lanes or on the sidewalks.

The problem is that car drivers hate slow motorcycles in their lane. So they will lie in any way they can, in particular calling these things "e bikes", because the only solution that appeals to them is to BAN BAN BAN!!!! If they could get rid of the motorcycles they would jump at the chance to do so too.

Comment Re:Americans hate nuance (Score 1) 244

I'm using an e-bike that absolutely will not go faster than 15 mph. I suspect it is badly designed as even trying to pedal faster does not work, there is enormous drag as though the motor refuses to spin faster than that (it will roll downhill at a higher speed). However that is certainly fast enough for my commute which is 3 miles each direction.

So I agree that it is a fine cutoff speed. Anything faster is a moped or motorcycle, they absolutely should be legal but you have to ride them on the street and have a license and insurance. Personally I think it is ok if the cutoff speed is more like 20mph but 15mph is fine.
