Comment For those who don't get it... (Score -1, Offtopic) 30

For those who don't get it, the UK government has carried out genocide against the indigenous peoples of the British Isles, including a campaign of over 250,000 rapes and pogroms against their freedom of speech. This included the UK arresting more people for social media posts than every other nation combined. Now their PM is trying to ban under-16s from all social media to prevent them from begging for help when they are raped. Instead, they are supposed to call the police, who we now know were also raping 11-year-old little girls, and who returned rape victims to rape gangs, saying “here she is, have fun with her.”

This is easy to fix.

We need an enforced standard demanding all traffic that does not have to be encrypted (e.g., anything other than payment details or PII) be visible to the person using or paying for the computer.

Home users could actually see what traffic is being sent over their home networks.

Right now, device manufacturers encrypt things like "The refrigerator's average temperature has been 40 degrees F, and the door opened 20 times in the last 48 hours." These manufacturers pay fake consumer rights activists to demand even more encryption. Meanwhile, ISPs try to block us from seeing what is going out the connections we pay for.

I should not have to configure my own white box router to see what is happening on my network.

All we have to do is pull power away from corporations and governments...never mind. I'll be quiet now before the close my bank account.

This reminds me of the Dukes of Hazard TV show where the corrupt deputy had a remote controlled speed limit sign and as soon as the Duke Boys were too close to slow down, he would drop the speed limit.

I can imagine the price flipping after I put something in my basket.

Years ago, I proposed a bill that would prohibit any transport of any commodity in interstate commerce if the destination was a place that prohibited the creation of that commodity through law.

Here's an example: If your area bans the production of electricity through wind, then you can not import into your area any electricity that might be 0.0001% wind power.

We do not need AI in a brain-dead script that prints error messages.

We need AI checking our formerly brain-dead scripts and flagging errors so we can look at them if we want to, while not blocking us with unskippable demands for corrections.

Speaking if which, I wonder if AI can let me test parts of code even if the whole thing does not compile?
