Using SPA firewall knocking (fwknop) to open ports to ssh in. I suppose if I was really paranoid, the most secure would be an air gap, but there’s only so much convenience I’ll give up for security.

Only a rightoid nutjob could look at the colossal shitshow that is brexit and be like “See that? That’s what I want.”

Lol. I mentioned it not because I care about the karma, but because I’ve never seen any of my comments instantly start at -1 and it was mildly interesting.

I mean, I do care a little about my imaginary internet points, but that’s not why I mentioned it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Outside, maybe? lol

Edit: Weird, my comment started at -1 karma. Is this thread being botted or something? Oh I accidentally downvoted myself…

It’s not even just your medical data. I picked up a prescription for my mother who just had spinal surgery, and they wouldn’t hand over the pain medication without taking down all of my info. I’ve had no issue picking up any of her other prescriptions. Seems the war on drugs is still alive and well.

Cuwute!

That article was sadly very sparse on what the concessions actually were.

This is exactly what they did in Australia for about a week, then they backed down when the government wouldn’t.

I don’t think it’s in the nature of capitalist corporations to put long term strategy over short term profitability.

It’s simple, they can either take it or leave it. If the assessments of profitability of this content are accurate, it will still be profitable for Google and Meta if they cave to demands. They’ll hem and haw for a while, but they’ll take the deal. At the end of the day, they’re capitalist corporations, and they won’t simply leave money on the floor.

That $234 M would be roughly 2% of the $11.2 B in revenues the two platforms are making in Canada. Does the Canadian news segment account for more than 2% of that revenue?

Two weeks ago, the province’s auditor general found the government’s process for choosing those sites favoured a small group of well-connected developers who now stand to make billions of dollars.

That sounds like something illegal that needs to be further investigated, no? Do we not have laws against blatant corruption?

We’ve got toasters, and now bread boxes? I’m in!

They’re good words, Brent.

“Persistently low productivity” sounds a lot like a euphemism for “workers are lazy” but when the owning class want an ever increasing portion of the surplus value of labour, it shouldn’t come as a surprise when nobody wants to perform said labour.
