- The committee that voted for the EU's terrible horrible no good very bad copyright law is now occupying itself with lying about it to the rest of the European Parliament.
It's not widely understood just exactly how bad this statist shit grenade really is.
Just cut off their internet access and be done with it.
- The USB fans distributed to journalists attending the North Korea summit in Singapore conceal a dangerous secret... They come from the future.
Also, they're USB fans.
- DigitalOcean's private network will soon be private.
Up until now, it's been local but not private, so you needed to configure firewalls on the internal network as well as the external network. Though at least people couldn't snoop on traffic.

- Chrome and Firefox have yanked the Stylish browser extension after reports that it steals your
girlfriendbrowser history.

- A Quine is a program that prints its own source code. This one is written in Ruby... And uses 127 intermediate languages to achieve its result.

has around 500 000 downloads per day. - Medium has gone pay-to-read, so they're dead now. They might not have stopped squirming, but they're dead.
- Facebook's latest acquisition seems to be the legal department from Oracle.
- The NBN connection at PixyLab is still AWOL. No update yet on Rally Vincent, the new Linux lab server.
