@bloor @jamesb @pwaring @_calmdowndear yup, ~2010 there was namecoin with .bit and before that ~2000 there was OpenNIC and a whole host of others in between.

@interpipes @neil lying via the Internet is a crime; https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/21/section/127 Luckily there's not enough jail space for checks notes literally everyone.

@cyberleagle @dctrud you're not entirely wrong but I'd challenge you to make a cycling term equivalent to "user-to-user service" that is so vague that it might/could cover a child's 18cm toy unicycle or an American 18 wheeler HGV. And then slap an £18,000,000 fine on getting the understanding wrong ;)

@neil @Kestenan if you want to play have a look at https://ollama.com/ and something like https://ollama.com/library/llama3.2-vision:11b Granted I say "take a look at" as if there isn't a tonne of foundational stuff to grasp first.

@TheVampireFishQueen agreed. I was disheartened to see the Guardians reporting this morning stick to the 100k number. On the flipside maybe OFCOM, despite their bluster, will be ignoring anything that isn't "big tech".

I've been trying to write something pithy about the OSA hammer falling in the next hour or so but.... nope. I don't anticipate it affecting me directly all that much and yet I'm still angry about what it represents. Censorship wrapped up in Newspeak about protecting citizens. I'm hoping it ends up being challenged in court, repealed or otherwise defanged. I expect it'll fail to achieve any of its stated aims. But the collateral damage might be huge.
