Gang numbers up, police down a year on from law and order pledge (www.1news.co.nz)
 
  • There are 190 more people on the National Gang List and 80 fewer police officers on the streets than in November 2023 when Labour was in government.
  • Police Minister Mark Mitchell says the National-led government is seeing success and there are many police officers in training to come through, but there is "a lot more to do".
  • Former police officer Lance Burdett says the gang patch ban will have the opposite of the intended effect, forcing criminals underground.

Just yesterday I banned Facebook’s user agent that is supposedly only used to generate link previews. It was being extremely aggressive, making 20 requests per second. At the time I thought “I bet they’re actually building their own search index”, and here we are.

Daily Mail?

Brass Eye was incredible for shining a light on media and political hysteria. Their episode on drugs was hilarious and tragic.

I have no idea why you’re getting down voted. It’s essentially true.

The arrangement is vital for Mozilla. According to the Mozilla Foundation’s 2021–2022 financial statement, which is the most recent one published, $510 million out of its $593 million in revenue came courtesy of Google’s search payments. https://fortune.com/2024/08/05/mozilla-firefox-biggest-potential-loser-google-antitrust-search-ruling/

It’s not fine. They are not archiving the internet.

Why Sir John Key thinks Donald Trump should win the US election (www.rnz.co.nz)
 

Key: "Donald Trump is driving very much an America First and a more isolationist kind of view. Actually, it's quite different, it's a very different foreign policy than we've ever seen. So that probably doesn't help New Zealanders much. But on balance, I think he's probably better for the economy.“
