UK farmers were idiots to vote for Brexit. It was always going to be no change (regulation alignment) or standards drop to allow in cheaper food. They got it worse of all worlds as they are expected to maintain standards while cheap food is imported.
I always assumed this would happen, so had a second account. Which had a special email address both of which I only used via Tor and private brower mode.
It's data that could have value, so I doubt they don't store it. I think the movie studios didn't offer enough. Or Reddit thought it was too damaging for this particular sale.
I'm afraid she isn't wrong about their existence. People ashamed of their voting. People who don't believe they voted for anything but their own self interest. People whose family and friends "won't understand". Shy Tories have long been a thing.
That sucks. Sorry you got cut off for being right. I'm hopping the UK is about to kick out our mad conservatives. They never actually get a majority, but the majority is split over multiple parties. In the US, it worse, both in being a two party system and undemocratic. Democratics can win the popular vote but not power.
You should. We all need an at least semi-democratic country at the top. We need the non-democratic authoritarian kind of governance to be seen to fail. Again. If American fail, we need Europe to start punching it's weight even more. And unfortunately the crazy right (no doubt helped by enemies of freedom) is on the rise across Europe. Least in Britain, it looks like the nightmare might be over this election. It will take years to undo the economic and social damage they have done though.
It helps, but we need society to support and celebrate when men do this. I know one dad who did this. One. I know a lot of other dads. We did the math with our first kid with nursery and my wife's then pay. There was next to nothing in it. But we went for nursery anyway so my wife's CV gap was short. Now it's paid off and she is not part of the statistics. She also works somewhere very progressive, with lots of women in upper management. That helps a lot too.
The gender pay gap is very real. Women end up with holes in their CVs due to pregnancy, child birth and then child care. That holes means lower pay. Lower pay means more likely to do child care. Society pushed childcare more on to women. If child care costs more than they earn, of course they aren't going to work. Making the CV hole worse. It's a negative feedback loop kicked off by having kids.
Your completely right. But it is a hard sell to the family. They only really see the loss of functionality. So what I do is two networks. My stuff is on the secure network and theirs is on the other one. When I'm asked why, I say their devices aren't secure enough and their digital hygiene is too low. They can't argue with me as I'm the one who knows the most about this stuff by a long long way. I do put my foot down about Alexa and open mic stuff, but lots of stuff has voice functionally I've disabled. My wife uses Google's voice stuff on her phone, which means an open mic to Google and she doesn't worry when it says "I'm sorry I didn't understand that" at random times. Really politics need to catch up so we all protected more.
It's even cars, dishwashers, cookers, and other white goods now. They can't open even their APIs "because of security". Each one has their protocols to their own servers. If you get any access, it's via their cloud/servers. WHEN they abandon those devices, stop supporting their protocols on their servers, any smarts are crippled. It's just so short sighted. So vendor locking. So anti repair. So anti digital freedom. It's plain monopolistic digital serfdom. Purely software, on pure computers, is yesterday's battle front.
