Yea. I get about 1x Pratchett each month then have to wait ~ 2wks to finish it. It’s such an irritatingly low limit too. All contributes to the low level rage tho, so there’s that.

OK, by this logic...the surveillance of every facet of life--from comms to movement to social relationships to etc--which has become the norm over the last decades c/o the surveillance biz model, makes LE surveillance MORE possible than it's ever been in history.

But somehow e2ee is the problem?

Also the very hand wavy β€œother places have something that sounds like this* so it should be fine”

Your writing is top notch on this. Thank you.

* but in most cases has only a sliver of overlap, it’s a vibes thing I’m sure.

Hi guys, did you already know there are competitions for window tinting? With better commentators than most of the tennis matches I’ve watched on ESPN? (Low bar I know)

Anyway if you need to procrastinate harder than you’ve ever procrastinated before, I got you

Aside from how on earth this will play out in the three countries that aren't England, what I find quite weird about this is how quickly senior politicians seem to forget what everyday life is like and how to use everyday words.

Women's appearance and behaviour is about to get even more highly policed in the UK, with a few people doubtless being emboldened to "take action". This whole billionaire-funded enterprise dials back gender equity by decades.
