I'm not sure you're familiar with it either, or I've missed how on earth it applies in this situation.

Just use a different system that didn't do that, it's your choice.

To that extent, government censorship isn't really censorship either then? You can just move to a different country that doesn't censor you.

> You can just move to a different country that doesn't censor you.

The 'Network State' fascist bros (Balaji Srinivasan, Peter Thiel, Curtis Yarvin, et al) are the powers behind the throne of the current regime. They want to dismantle the United States and create modern-day fiefdoms where your corporate overlords dictate your rights. They are serious about doing it.

"You can vote with your feet and leave our fiefdom if you don't like the lack of rights" is literally their stance.

Yes, but a Sprinter has a short nose and the driver's position is such they can see everything in front of them. Those ugly penis extension trucks have huge blind spots immediately in front of them.

Absolutely true but beside the current point of whether they are more or less in the way when parked in residential areas than our normal commercial vehicles.

"Let's drive around the hood to flex my Mercedes Sprinter", said noone ever.

These are strictly professional cars. When they are not "in duty" they're probably parked at a garage.

On the other hand, an American open truck driving/parked in a residential area is almost certainly some show-off.

You misunderstand - almost every tradesman here drives their work vehicle home and drives errands in it. Use of the company vehicle for commuting is considered a standard perk of these trades for regular employees - free fuel (fuel is way more expensive here), they can some days drive straight to the first customer (saves time), and might save them from getting a car (maybe the spouse has a microcar for their commute, otherwise biking and public transport are common).

Source: I live here and see it every day. Family, friends and customers are doing it, plus many eons ago I too was a tradesman driving home every day in the company work van.

(Heck, many companies wouldn't even have a place to park all their company cars at once, many such smaller companies run out of regular residential buildings with no dedicated parking.)

Good point; I should actually make sure to pay attention rather than reading "Sprinters are bigger" and applying that to my hatred of American trucks!

I wonder why the name change? Threats from rights holders?

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case, given the long history[0].

What a lot of the pro-Brexit crowd finally admitted is that Brexit was always going to be a bitter pill to swallow and they knew it. Conveniently none of them wanted to say that in the lead up to the vote. 5 years ago when they began admitting this, they claimed it was going to be a 10 year process before the "benefits" of Brexit can be felt. Here we are. I guess Brexit benefits will be like Fusion Energy or Full-Self-Driving; always a few years into the future.

let meet here and discuss status of eu newfascism in 5 years. uk will not be part of it.

indeed, with Mr Brexit on track to become next PM, UK will have its own brand of it.

> eu newfascism

What do you mean by this, concretely? Or in other words, if we check back in 5 years, what would cause you to say 'yeah I was wrong, eu newfascism {doesn't exist || hasn't progressed as badly as I expected}'?

edit: to the downvoters, what do you object to here?? I'm trying to pin down the meaning of the parent comment, because without some kind of definition, a phrase like 'eu newfascism' is all heat and no light. My 'in other words...' framing was not based on the assumption that the parent commenter will be proven wrong; I'm just asking 'what would it take to falsify this?'

No, the UK will have its own indigenous fascism with a little Union Jack printed on it.

Ahem, in 5 years Nigel Farage will have persuaded the idiots to willingly up their human rights, as enshrined in the ECHR. Churchill’s great achievement to prevent the horrors of the Nazi regime happening again.

Let’s see how that work out.

But the British public, or at least the flag-waving hotel-arson subset, really want to separate families and send people to countries where they face significant risk of torture or death.

I'm this particular instance though it's not really about time, it's studios not wanting to pay what I imagine would be a relatively small amount to do the conversion. It's not going to be a frame-by-frame laborious process.

Always blows my mind that the prototype was made with discrete components.

OK, that's a no then.

It's YouTube. This is super common, just worded in a weird way.

It's also incorrect. They could just use youtube-nocookie.com instead if tracking cookies are disabled. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780?hl=en#zippy...

The funny thing is I'm unable to navigate the UI to see the video. I disabled (enabled) targeted cookies, and it still doesn't show.

Yeah what is up? When i accept cookies i find myself at the bottom of the page at a checkout button with a dollar price number? This confused me, after three more tries I gave up.

Thats the first time I've seen that, its a no for me too then. Good to know I'm being targeted though :)

Honestly I have no idea what the problem seems to be - we're not collecting any cookies. Also, there's no video, so I'm not sure what you are referring to...

Would you be able to clarify?

I think the South Park underpants gnomes meme might be more apt here.

Switch your steps 2 & 3.

Step 4 is profit.

"Better out than in" might hold some weight if so.
