@nixCraft So Apple and Microsoft can't dictate what software I run and vacuum up all my data.

I'm always looking for good Sci-fi movies so I just watched the first half hour of The Creator on Disney+ which has great reviews but gave up when a large infiltration team made a stealthy and unobserved arrival in darkness, then walked up an open hillside with their head lamps on 🙄 Maybe it's a good movie but getting simple details wrong is not good enough.

You'd think there would be some effective way for the EU to sanction Orban and his fellow travellers 🤔

I think we need an end to 'Faith' schools, religion should have power over any part of state education provision, here's more evidence for the case against:

It's particularly sickening when such a trusted institution as the Post Office behaves like this and it further undermines trust in other public bodies, PO senior management of that time must be held to account:

No religion should have a privileged place or any influence over state education, it should be entirely secular:

Starlink: Apparently Elon Musk failed to help or even actively prevented a Ukrainian attack on the Russian fleet in the Black Sea based on his personal opinion of the war. These ships are used routinely to launch missile attacks on civilians in Ukraine. No private individual should have such power, but I can't think how he and others like him can be constrained.
