Unfortunately it's not just young men. The alt right machinery recruits young women too. Just less of them as it a bit of turkeys voting for Christmas.

So the Daily Fail has completed it's transition to Nazi support then. It wasn't a long journey for them to be honest....

I don't think so.

Only now are Nazis getting a foot hold again, at the same time they are getting a foot hold across the world. It is the after effects of the 2008 crash and Putin putting his thumb on scales where he can (troll farms and corruption).

The fact Germany doesn't stick out as more Nazi that France, or the US, or others, means the original denazification worked.

A lot of vagueness. How many is "Hundreds"? I guess under 700 or it would be "nearly a thousand".

Then "About a fifth of respondents said they had either decided to spoil their ballot paper or were considering doing so, among them Sharon". How do we know Sharon is reflective of the others? We don't.

It seams like picture painted with not a lot of data, from a self selecting group, that is being cherry picked. Maybe it's reflective, but I got no way of knowing it's even reflective of the few hundred who wrote to The Guardian about it.

This writer got an axe to grind?

Yep, Electronic Frontier Foundation. Key players in Right To Repair in the US. With good history of "fighting for the user".

I can see a lot of comments against copyright here, but has anyone considered the implications of changes to copyright on copyleft?

I argue copyleft is demonstrably socially useful in locking things open. I do wonder if we'll end up the two being different legally....

Can it run problem bank apps? I need a bank auth app for work as the bank stopped fobs and it just would not run on LineageOS. It refused to run because "the phone is insecure". I tried Magisk hiding stuff and MicroG, and a number of way of tricking methods. That's why I ended up on GrapheneOS, as a compromise without feeling too compromised. Everything seams to think it's on a normal Android phone, but I've sandboxed the Google tentacles. But it would be better if mandating OS wasn't allowed. If I want to run a "insecure" phone, that's my "problem".

Age of Earth will be my guess.

They won't want their kids exposed to all that scientific consensus showing it's about 4 billion years old.

I can only speak of on Linux. If you know the disk is bad, clone it, with ddrescue, and fix the clone. But in future RAID and backup remotely. Also, next gen filesystems like ZFS and Btrfs for check sums and self healing and subvolumes with send/receive deltas between them.

I trust Tasmota more than some random closed source thing.

Just because no one else has said, Adam has been involved in EFF for a long time. EEF Podcast episode with him in it:

Which delights me as he's more mainstream and so wakes people up to things like the Right To Repair movement.
