UK demands access to Apple users' encrypted data
The UK government has demanded to be able to access encrypted data stored by Apple users worldwide in its cloud service. Currently only the Apple account holder can access data stored in this way - the tech giant itself cannot view it. The demand has been served by the Home Office under the Investigatory Powers Act (IPA), which compels firms to provide information to law enforcement agencies.

I didn't misrepresent anything in my recent Stop Killing Games article.
I reproduced the UK Gov statement, and then gave my own short comment, which boils down to: I don't think it's going to work to change the law, and think it's a good idea for people to look to other games and for stores to clearly note if a game requires an online connection.
Literally no misrepresentation there at all, I didn't even comment on the petition details itself. As usual, people like to make crap up.

I'm having a hard time understanding what is going on with the Kerrygold #Cooperative. It doesn't seem like a demutualization event, but people are getting big payouts?

This video asks some very interesting questions about political resistance. However, it lacks a historical understanding of all the times when popular resistance did work. And yes, we do have to revist moments of resistance, because oppressors do not magically disappear when a just cause succeeds. Some oppressors will reform--most definitely. Many will go underground. Australia ended up with a number of unsavoury white South Africans after apartheid was ended.
Nevertheless, it's good to see what may be going through people's minds.
