  • The types of yachts that are being sunk are not owned by billionaires, or even millionaires.

    These are small boats under 20 meters, most of those attacked are liveaboards and it's a result of over-fishing along the Portuguese coast all the way up to the bay of Biscay.

    Ask yourself, why is it that after centuries of sailing in this region, is it only in the last few years these attacks have started to happen? (This is the common suspected reason)

  • McBride, 60, admits he gave troves of document to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), saying he was concerned about the attitudes of commanders and what he then thought was the "over-investigation" of troops, the court heard.

    But instead the information he provided underpinned a series of reports in 2017 called The Afghan Files, which gave unprecedented insight into the operations of Australia's elite special forces in Afghanistan, and contained allegations of war crimes.

    It seems he wasn't whistleblowing to expose the war crimes but because he felt troops were beyond overinvestigated!

    That is absolutely fucking hilarious!

  • as long as there is at least one other backup that isn't with this provider.

    Which is exactly what I was saying.

    Any services used with a cloud provider should be treated as 1 entity, no matter how many geo-locations they claim your data is backed up to because they are a single point from which all those can be deleted.

    When I was last involved in a companies backups, we had a fire safe in the basement, we had an off-site location with another fire safe & third copies would go off to another company that provided a backup storage solution so for all backups to be deleted, someone had to go right out of their way to do so. Not just a simple deletion of our account & all backups are wiped.

    That company had the foresight to do something similar & it's saved them. [edited - was on the tube when I wrote this and didnt see the autocorrect had put 'comment', not 'company']

  • It may have been more devastating if they relied exclusively on google for backups.

    Which is why having any data, despite the number of backups, on a cloud provider shouldn't be seen as off-site.

    Only when it is truly outside their ecosphere and cannot be touched by them should it be viewed as such.

    If that company didn't have such resilience built into their backup plan, they would be toast with a derisory amount of compensation from Google.

  • Do you think the representational democracy throughout the west is real democracy or just a case of "vote for us every 4 years you pleb then STFU while we collect this lovely lobbyist money, filling our pockets and fail to deliver any campaign promises we ran on"

    And you think tankies are fucking idiots?!

  • This is a UK newspaper that rotates headlines about latest thing that causes cancer, immigrants ruining the UK and what would the wonderful dead princess Diana think.

    If you used the print edition to wipe your arse, you'd end up with more shit on you.

  • It's a piss poor attempt to try control tiktok and ensure they play along. They don't really want it banned, they just want to control the flow of information and it's absolutely destroying the illusion of the first amendment!

  • The Chinese government has also dismissed such concerns as paranoia and has warned that a TikTok ban would "inevitably come back to bite the US".

    The fundamental ethos of the US and its propaganda of why it's the greatest country on the planet is the first amendment and the current bunch are absolutely destroying that illusion in plain sight of younger generations.

    They're sending billions for wars and to Israel supporting and assisting them in genocide yet are saying to the ones they expect to pay for it that there's no money for healthcare, infrastructure, education, welfare, raising minimum wage, etc, etc, et al, and then still demanding they should receive their votes "because the other guys much worse".

    I see a lot of younger people saying that both are shit, that the system is rigged and they ain't playing their game anymore. That is tantamount to revolution.
