Daughter: wtf dad you ruined my sting operation, it took me months to find that arsehole and get all his passwords

Some of them almost didn’t fail

All because Reagan felt their power trip was more important than maintaining safety in a system entirely dependent on maintaining safety.

The EFF… loves censorship?

You can complain they aren’t doing enough I guess, but you might as well say a pet shelter loves murdering puppies because they can’t save them all or a environmentalist loves emitting co2 because they support an economically viable plan for net zero.

Or more often now, Y/Pay

Ironically centrists do a lot better in non fptp systems, since people tend to compromise more, but labours stuck believing in a system that for the first time isn’t benefiting them, and they’re not ready for change.

They want the government to lower its taxes/fees on extraction so that more becomes just barely profitable.

Without that change, there’s only a few small places they’d be willing to drill. But if the government waives its cut suddenly they can drill somewhat more, still nothing particularly impressive though.

Of course, that means the uk gets basically no benefit, and if it’s only profitable with government generosity then it’s sure as hell not going to be profitable with a limited market (ie if we forced them to sell to the uk and actually help with the uk problems)

Tldr: they are hoping the uk are rubes they can scam.

Who says it didn’t, perhaps all they needed was objective proof that they’re worthy, and the genie has now provided it.

The greatest wizards don’t even need magic.

They can probably use heuristics to keep the 0.1% most interesting traffic (eg traffic that flows towards servers that isn’t too large, that’d catch everything you send to your bank without breaking the budget to store)

By your definition Picasso “watermarked” his paintings, and so does every artist.

Signing your work has been tradition for centuries, if not longer, and is a right earned by the author of any work. The fact that online content uses links instead of signatures is a reasonable modernisation of an ancient right.

Do you rage when the credits roll on a movie? When the artist’s name is written on an album? When people call it “ Michelangelo's David”?

Yeah, the cat isn’t a legal piece, well spotted
