Symmetrical transparency.

It was Edward Snowden who said that “Arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”

But the Australian eSafety Commissioner isn’t giving up her “won’t someone think of the children” rhetoric.

And good news in Australia (despite the disingenuous headline).

News today: vote has been postponed.

My admin friend told me that all email is now secure and encrypted by default.

Of course you have to trust whoever is hosting your email though. Don’t trust Gmail, yahoo, hotmail etc

I suspect the ranting author failed to appreciate that Bluetooth is probably cheaper to implement for the audio because regular headphones require three wires while power supply only requires two. Ingenious really.

EDIT: Proper wired headphones would also require a soundcard in the dongle.

The guy was having a funny geeky bitch. He was laughing at himself. He doesn’t expect Apple to change anything.

EDIT: I think you are right, that last paragraph of his is weirdly serious. Would have been pure comedy without it.

Misleading title. He did not win the appeal.

He won the opportunity to have an appeal hearing.

It is last week’s news anyhow.

Aren’t ads dispersed throughout the discussions? If not, then why not?

I prefer promotion of humility and a lifestyle which puts the emphasis on values relationships, nature, personal time etc, for instance…

In August 2020 the Chinese government launched “Operation empty plate”, a campaign to stop food and beverage waste and cultivate frugality.

However banning materialist fetishes will probably do more good than harm anyhow. Slippery slope though.

In my quote the claim was that Australia was there enforcing the UN resolution. That resolution was made a long time ago, well before China took sides in the Ukraine war. Too late to veto the resolution now.

PS Admittedly my quote is not from a credible source. I haven’t time to test its veracity.

The “you came close to your airspace so we scare you away” response seems like regular old territorial bullying to me.

See my other comment about the EEZ.

Which UN Security Council Resolutions do you think he was referring to if not the NK sanctions?

Shanghai Daily columnist Andy Boreham pointed out… “the area they claim the incident happened is within China’s EEZ… Innocent passage is allowed but military aircraft do NOT constitute 'innocent passage”

Kind of like the many Chinese military incursions in the airspace of the Taiwanese EEZ, eh Andy?

Your doubts are incorrect.

Asked about the incident at the daily Chinese foreign ministry press conference, spokesperson Lin Jian said: “What truly happened was, an Australian military aircraft deliberately flew within close range of China’s airspace in a provocative move that endangered China’s maritime and air security in the name of enforcing UN Security Council resolutions.”

Is this China bullying in international waters or are they supporting North Korea against UN Security Council sanctions which Members unanimously voted for?

If NK is still shipping munitions to Russia then this could be China helping Russia while pretending it is about water territorial rights.

Member state… authorized to:

Inspect North Korea cargo on land, air, and sea, if the state has reason to believe that it contains prohibited items and seize any prohibited materials or technologies
