UK has had a program to attract rich people for a very long time. I am not sure of the details, but TetraPak's owners (yeah, was/is privately held) moved their decades ago for that reason. Many lords/ladies around in Sweden all live in UK to avoid double taxation on land lease income.

So, yes, the UK is a tax haven for the rich. You and me? Not so much.

Same is true for many places in USA. IIRC, USA and UK harbor more "tax haven money" than all the other tax havens added together.

The only good way to reduce profits for the "greedy capitalists" is to remove regulation, licensing, and "laws" that make starting a business hard.

With a fair market (i.e. free from state involvement) and an educated (not indoctrinated) public, large profit margins are temporary as competition will fill voids.

And remove "Corporations" from "legal entity" definition, while at it. It is only gangs of people, and should personally be responsible.

@freepatriot @amerika

@freepatriot Yeah.

Why is it called "Law" anyway? Laws of Physics are not debatable, only discoverable.

"Decree", "Edict" and "Diktat" (dictate?) are better words, and unmasks their true nature. Notice how these words are used when describing "bad places" or "bad times" in books and education.

@revk Perhaps I misunderstood; I thought you asked about MQTT, not "json packets over websockets" independent of MQTT.

@taylan Pfizer admitted that no infection spread testing had been done before launching in official EU hearings.

@taylan After the massive lies that authorities have been doing lately, and getting caught, even admitting it, it is not unreasonable to question everything from now on.

Also, I re-tooted it because the article does point out that the link is not certain.

@revk Alright... Just consider that interoperability is a cornerstone in this space, much more important than efficiency.

@revk MQTT is under OASIS, and they have defined MQTT-over-websocket. I think from MQTT-3.1 but could have been earlier. This is implemented in Mosquitto and other implementations since quite a while ago.

Not sure if you are looking for anything beyond that.

There is a "secret group" consisting of mainly German, left-wing & socialist-oriented Mastodon admins (instance operators) who specify who, ergo which instance in the Fediverse is to be blocked.

I know someone who has access to this group.

Admins or instance operators who do not follow the prescribed block list and other rules are branded (with their instance).

This is fascism in its purest form.

@iron_bug

My instance is on the list... Quite an honor.

I have been operating ~18 months, and have had 3 reports. And they got the reply; "If you think the posts break the law, then please contact the authorities alternatively raise a civil suit against the user."

The speech-sensitive snowflakes were;

Concept: A bunch of packet radio nodes that sync messages with each other. So you can write a message on one node and it (eventually) gets put on all of them - kind of like a packet BBS except over a much larger range, and distributed

Whoops! The TOGETHER Trial actually showed that ivermectin worked.

β€œEven the author admitted it. The media and medical establishment did not read the study carefully. They seize on anything that supports the narrative and fail to look at the study critically.”
