Too late. Somewhere so sunny can get a lot of solor quickly. Building nuclear power plants takes time and releases a lot of CO2. Batteries and solor now now. Cheapest power too.
IP on crops is a legitimate problem. I didn’t see anything about terminator seeds, but honestly wouldn’t surprise me. Saving lives can all to be often at odds with making money. Plan probably is to take over the market and then ratchet up the price…
*What rights do you have to the digital movies, TV shows and music you buy online? That question was on the minds of Telstra TV Box Office customers this month after the company announced it would shut down the service in June. Customers were told that unless they moved over to another service, Fetch, they would no longer be...
Also depends on the country. It isn’t everywhere. Non-commercial file-sharing is legal in a number of European countries and I’m sure elsewhere.
It could be taken as a sign of the health of the democracy’s function and technically literacy of the population. In a society of tech heads with a highly functional democracy, it would be DRM measures that would be illegal…
Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....
The problem is power dynamic. It is a DRM service built round closed apps. You will take what you are given and like it. You can not view their cultural work without agreeing to these terms (Legally). The deal will keep getting worse until it starts losing money.

So Tree Tabs built in? I’ve used them for so long, I don’t know how other manage without them. Yet I know no one else who uses them, even after I show them. Be interesting see how well the new built in ones work.
I think it’s very inditing they are even trying it on. They are a propaganda channel and using “news” in their name is completely disingenuous. If they are news they are breaking impartiality rules if they are not they are doing false advertising. They could be arguing to be breaking both.
Yes, protests should be quiet and out the way and cause no inconveniencing…
In others, bend over, take it and be quiet. You get to vote, so shut up.
There is so much we wouldn’t have without protest. Including the vote, won by the Chartism. Then of course votes for women won by the Suffragettes. Nation parks: www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/…/the-mass-trespass
And things we might have we didn’t want, like the Poll Tax.
Ah yes, that will make new Torys. Boot camp. Break their will to make them into good/conservative citizens. Don’t see that working… though I can see old voters (who didn’t actually do it either) might think that.
President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that Ukraine’s partners “are afraid of Russia losing the war” and would like Kyiv “to win in such a way that Russia does not lose,” Zelensky said in a meeting with journalists attended by the Kyiv Independent....
To be honest, we’ll see about the US. With a Trump present who doesn’t like democracy and rule of law, but does like Putin, not sure how much the US can be counted on. Or how long it will stay a free country.
