That, but with mass murder.

I certainly wouldn't rule it out. I doubt we'll ever know for sure.

You're right - my color vision let me down there. That's good news.

One of them is dead, isn't he? Evidently the other one has doubled down on the evil to compensate.

Edit: Maybe you meant the Supreme Court fuckfaces. They're all very much alive.

I'd favour GPL3 too, but we do need wide adoption because that's the only way an independent browser will influence websites not to just design for Chromium. That needs to happen for the new browser to have any impact on Google's ability to dictate standards unilaterally.

That chart forecasts a consistent large use of coal and a rapid increase in power from oil after 2030. China's progress in renewable energy sources is good news, but these forecasts for coal and oil don't seem to be.

Am I likely to be annoyed about where the fiber comes into the house?

That one depends on the company installing it. When I got it installed they asked me exactly where I wanted the fiber to terminate and ran it through the house to an outlet under my desk. So let them know and they might put it where you need it.

As for the router, I recommend buying a mini PC with at least 2 Ethernet ports and 4GB of RAM and running OPNsense. It's great and will give you all the control you need. Or you can repurpose any old PC you have lying around and just add some Ethernet ports on a PCIE card.

How many high school kids will go out of their way to seek out and read extra text books though?

Germans under the Nazis mostly went about their lives like everything was fine until quite late in the war when it became impossible to do so. By that time Hitler had been in power for more than a decade, terrorized Europe, run the Holocaust, and started a world war. There's no guarantee that most Americans will notice what's happening even after they start living under a fascist dictatorship. America is almost Russian in the way the general population simply avoids politics and considers it not their problem, even as they suffer directly as a result of their leaders' politics. In that sense they're pretty well primed to live under a dictator already.

Unfortunately we won't get proper socialists after that, we'll get fascists.

The fact that they don't go for any of the ways to manage access to porn that are more effective and less invasive of privacy suggests that the point is, as always, surveillance and not protecting children from porn.

Good for him. I've never seen Jeremy Corbyn be anything other than decent and honest, and frank about his policies and why they are needed, even as he was treated terribly by the media. Hopefully he can be an effective voice in Parliament during this Labour government.
