  Who Me ?

  on It Happened Again: Antipiracy Outfit Asks Google To Delist 127.0.0.1 On Behalf Of Ukrainian TV Station

  I resent this invasion of my home and privacy.

  I have had this handle for over six years, here at Techdirt. They know where to find me - I am at home all day, and everyday.

  Unfortunately - stupid is forever.

  on Everyone Agrees That Contact Tracing Apps Are Key To Bringing COVID-19 Under Control; Iceland Has Tried Them, And Isn't So Sure

  Yes, I am on the Isle of Guineapigs.

  No, the UK's app doesn't work on any of my 3 functional phones.

  And I shall not be buying a new phone - until it has a blinding UV flash, a 2 metre force field, an EMP bluetooth chip, and a siren that warns me when it detects the virus, and/or antibodies thereto, at fifty paces.

  Meanwhile, I shall stay at home and avoid homo sapiens, politicians, experts and bats, of whatever sexual persuasion.

  Remind me again ... what is the french for backdoor?

  on European Commission Wants Coronavirus Tracing Apps To Build In Strong Protections For Privacy -- Unlike The French Government

  Notwithstanding the purported aims of politicians, bureaucrats, medics, clinicians, and possibly developers of a bluetooth app, it appears to me that, as a user of an ancient Motorola moto 4g/lte phone running kitkat (which has data, location, and wifi turned off), even if it could somehow determine that a passing phone carrier (possibly untested, like me) is asymptomatic, infected or recovered, how would said app phone home (wherever that is)?

  Deity only knows.

  As Dog's my witness ...

  on Court Says Gov't Has To Do More Than Say It Doesn't Believe The Property Owners If It Wants To Keep The Cash It Seized
  Give a dog a bone, and it will 'say' anything you want it to say, usually by wagging its tail, if it has one.
  
  I would love to see a drug-sniffing dog take the stand, in a jury trial, and definitively indicate what the government's lawyer has been smoking.
