Hmm, doubt it’s for security. Seems more likely they’re looking for backdoors in order to spy on users. There are far too many governments desperate to backdoor encryption and messaging apps to trust any government’s stated intent when it comes to technology

Looks nice, but at £50 it’s a hard no from me

I believe that any entity that witnessed me taking a dump would be truly terrified

If true, God spends a lot of time dreaming up scantily-clad, uwu-looking cat girls for an army of socially isolated believers

Not the TPS reports!

Vibe math. No thank you

Arthur C Clarke is an excellent author and the Rama series is one of my all-time favourites. I’d recommend anything by Philip K Dick, though honestly I think a good reference would be to pick works listed in the SF Masterworks collection, it’s how I found many of my favourite SF novels.

If you fancy venturing into modern SF classics, my favourites are by Peter F Hamilton, Iain M Banks and William Gibson; though does Gibson count? He doesn’t even have a middle initial 😄

The Express is well known in the UK for exaggerated and rage-bait headlines. That and predicting outrageous weather events, without evidence, that never materialise

The Daily Express is a UK right-wing tabloid newspaper and is a very unreliable news source. I can only presume that the US version is from the same mould.

Note that it was City of London Police involved. The City of London is quite distinct and different from the London that tourists know of. The City of London is owned by the corporations (mainly financial institutions) within its boundary, it is self-governing and has the right to set up it’s own police force which can take enforcement action in any part of the UK, not just the City of London. They are basically an enforcement arm for corporations and are very interested in things like enforcing intellectual property claims.

But what will the show do with the remaining 58 minutes?

He’s planning out where to build the new McDonalds concession

Dragon 32! A proper, Welsh machine

Renegade III: The Final Chapter.

Renegade on the ZX Spectrum was good, the sequel Target: Renegade was one of my favourite games for years, but the third game was a cynical cash grab, badly executed, barely playable.

I think we see a reform manifesto pledge to ‘bring back good, honest turkey twizzlers’ to school canteens 🙃

I like how Hawkeye has now been relegated to making line calls at international tennis tournaments

O’Biden? First the Irish claim Obama, now Biden 😄
