Don't give up on the GCHQ idea. As a large public (in the business sense) organisation they will be hot on "reasonable adjustment" and possibly interested in the diversity of thought/opinions resulting from your horrible

Love the western bias here. The Dark Ages was a time when the christian west consciously stopped learning. Fortunately the muslim world carried the banner for intellect for a century or two. Will the new dark age posited be western only? Or

It's lightweight, it's flexible, it's hackable and it's very orchestrate-able. I've had dashboards showing summary stats for IoT devices, the VMs they're talking to and the hypervisors the VMs are running on wi

No, of course not; my upbringing, the people surrounding me, the cards life dealt me have no impact on me in way whatsoever. Poster should call him out. Say you find it unpleasant. If the online echo chamber extends into real life as well h

"dinky little B-road near me has a 4×2 grid of ANPR cameras " How do you know they're ANPR? "I wish they'd fund health" How do you know they're state funded cameras?

You seem to be under the impression that opting out of it somehow removes us from it's effects. As an American you have presumably been affected by eg GDPR and should therefore recognise this is not true. Leaving the EU means we have r
