- Comment on Five toys on sale in Britain found to contain asbestos in tests for Guardian 1 week ago:
Retailers have criticised the UK’s product safety policy, which relies on manufacturers and importers to ensure that products are safe. Post-Brexit health and safety laws have removed powers to ban products thought to pose a health hazard without waiting for scientific evidence. Instead, the onus is on exporters, importers and retailers to test goods and inform regulators if asbestos is found.
Another Brexit benefit. Of course the people profiting from selling these things will do the responsible thing, spending money to test them for safety and choosing not to profit from them if they don’t pass tests. That’s how it always works.

- Comment on Tommy Robinson tells tens of thousands at London rally to prepare for ‘battle of Britain’ 2 weeks ago:
It’s quite a big problem, given how the polls show the country to be eager for a fascist government.
- Comment on Tommy Robinson tells tens of thousands at London rally to prepare for ‘battle of Britain’ 2 weeks ago:
Robinson also led chants of support for the X owner, Elon Musk, one of his best-known supporters. He said: “None of this would have happened if it wasn’t for one man. Thank you Elon on behalf of Great Britain.”
Funny how all the “grassroots” nationalist movements turn out to be supported and enabled by foreign fascist billionaires.

- Comment on Palestine Action Activists to Be Sentenced As Terrorists in Move Kept Secret From Jury and Public 2 weeks ago:
It’s just not terrorism, by any normal understanding of that word. It doesn’t inflict any terror on anyone, either intentionally or unintentionally, nor does it even attempt to inflict terror.
- Comment on Palestine Action Activists to Be Sentenced As Terrorists in Move Kept Secret From Jury and Public 2 weeks ago:
Who are they supposed to have been terrorising? On whom did they inflict terror?

I don’t think The Canary is Novara Media. And in any case, Novara Media seems to have pretty good reporting and discussions.

Or all the ones at the top, because if you go far enough there’s probably something living or formerly living in each square.

And by “far left” they mean you, if you’re not a committed fascist. And they may mean you even if you are, because that’s how fascism goes.
- Comment on Inside Project Nova, Firefox's biggest redesign in years 1 month ago:
“Like every tech company, we’re really excited about the velocity increases from AI, and so we have a lot of internal prototypes that are up and running, and extensions is one of them,” Varma said. “But a lot of things we’re staring includes questions like: Can you customize your homepage? Can you add widgets? Can you change your background in whatever way you want?”
All that and rounded corners? Not sure I can handle this much future.
- Comment on Adobe modifies hosts file to detect whether Creative Cloud is installed 1 month ago:
I’m trying to think of legitimate reasons why an installer should be able to edit that file, and I can’t think of any. Seems like the OS should lock it down.

- Comment on Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field 2 months ago:
It shouldn’t need to reveal DOB to any other party. At most there should be an API that returns a boolean indicating whether the user is a child. DOB is too much information.
- Comment on Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field 2 months ago:
It’s weird that this guy is pushing it with “it’s the law” justifications while claiming it’s so ineffective as to be harmless. Why not just do nothing? That would be even more ineffective at collecting users’ dates of birth. He seems oddly eager and strangely confident that all the steps he’s taking to comply preemptively won’t be misused in future.
- Comment on Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field 2 months ago:
Even if you give a false DOB, it could be one more weapon in the armory of trackers and fingerprinters.
- Comment on The US government just banned consumer routers made outside the US 2 months ago:
That’s not reassuring. It sounds like they don’t want home users to be able to get any router they could manage themselves.
