A site-blocking law would let copyright owners “request, in court, that Internet service providers block access to websites dedicated to sharing illegal, stolen content,” he said. Rivkin claimed that in the US, piracy “steals hundreds of thousands of jobs from workers and tens of billions of dollars from our economy rich people’s yacht money, including more than one billion in theatrical ticket sales.”

Dell are shit. It was a good day when the last Dell in the family was switched out for Macs.*

*I don’t like Macs either but I could plausibly refuse to support them on the basis that I didn’t know how they worked and the hardware is all locked down.

Some decade and change ago I used to sell people Drupal installs at £200 a pop. They’d get a pretty secure codebase, the ability to add content through a gui and if necessary have customer accounts.

Pretty much what killed it as a business was everyone expected to be on the first page of Google because business advisers were telling them that sitebuilders should do SEO as standard.

Dirty fuckers.

Might just as well show a dog a card trick.

Edit: this is now a working link for me.

I started of on Linux Mint, had a couple of niggles with it so I thought ‘let’s be a spoony and get Ubuntu.’ Got on pretty well with Ubuntu but there were a few minor things about Gnome I didn’t like. I’m now on Kubuntu and it’s the Goldilocks zone for me. It’s been about 18 months now since I abandoned Windows 7.

The breeding sow should be thought of, and treated as, a valuable piece of machinery whose function is to pump out baby pigs like a sausage machine.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Quoting directly from the article here:

This term, the Supreme Court will decide Moore v. United States, a case which — according to the plaintiff couple’s lawyers —- “stands to slam shut the door on a federal wealth tax.” The Moores, a married couple, are challenging a “mandatory repatriation tax” created under former President Donald Trump’s 2017 tax bill, which required some Americans with business holdings outside of the United States to pay a one-time tax on income generated by their foreign earnings. The Moores argue that since their earnings had not been distributed as dividends, there should be no tax.

It’s not about parenting, or even pornography, really. We’re moving towards the end of being able to use the internet anonymously. Unfortunately for the govt. I don’t think it will be a smooth journey.

Halloween 14: The Orcanning

The survivors of Mars would have been a small number of billionaires and their hangers on. Martian Elon Musk couldn’t resist the temptation to be treated like a god.

Calling it now: eventually we’ll find that Martians fucked up their planet so utterly that their only resort was to come to Earth.

Isn’t this how The Whisperer in Darkness begins?
