Does this mean setting libtorrent's user agent to "OpenAI" puts you beyond the scope of copyright enforcement now?

Tesla/Musk.

Back in 2014 Tesla and Ecotricity had an agreement to upgrade Ecotricity's charging network to be compatible with Tesla's superchargers. Tesla whined that it wasn't being rolled out fast enough. Ecotricity wasn't a very big company and was basically working for free, so asked Tesla to actually support the roll out if they needed it faster. Musk went mental has been trying to destroy the company ever since. The 2014 Tesla patent release was never about collaboration or saving the planet, he just hoped somebody, somewhere would use it to undermine Ecotricity.

The thing I don't get is why it happens in the summer rather than the winter.

In the UK it gets dark at about 4pm in winter. We basically get no leisure time during daylight but we do get a bit of light during getting ready for work time when we don't really need it.

I like the idea that the CCP are so desperate to down vote that one comment they don't stop to down vote the post that actually makes them look bad, which said comment is responding to.

It's a slightly facetious comment on how the same model had gone from definitely not censored to definitely censored. The tripwire for the filter was obviously already there.

So, capitalism then.

A bit of unsolicited advice now you're in to tinkering. Set up some kind of NAS.

Having everything available wherever and whenever you need it is so much better than messing about with thumb drives.

This is actually pretty interesting. I wish I could pin someone else's comment. Thanks.

I prefer an oversized black hoodie and a spotlight positioned to only reveal my chin

Almost went to Stonehenge after visiting family down south. They wanted £60 and wouldn't let us take the dog in.

You can apparently get in cheaper if you're a member of English Heritage. So we looked online to see if it was a fair deal and what other sites membership grants you.

Turns out that English Heritage are a bunch of robbing bastards (they literally stole seahenge!) that enclose our historic sites in order to charge money for access to them.

I won't be visiting if I have to pay them.

This is a good answer.

I'm not sure if I'd agree that instance to client is infeasible though. Peertube does it OK.

We also have to thank the FBU (fire brigades union) for this. They're one of two or three prominent unions left in the UK that are still radical. Thanks to them, firefighters refuse to help police arrest protesters.
