Ubuntu does stupid stuff with motd. Shitstorm ensues. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-files/+bug/1637800
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-files/+bug/1701068
Presumably this is a Canonical thing in the quest for revenues, and having recently sacked the more sensible devs. -

@beardyunixer In this case connecting to the mesh only requires being within wifi proximity of another peer. There are existing community mesh networks like Freifunk and Pittmesh, but those are fundamentally about connecting to the internet. The Freedombone mesh isn't about that. It doesn't care if the internet exists or not and is just for communications within a local area.
There have been tests and demos but as far as I know this particular system isn't being used on any scale anywhere. -

The Conservatives want a tax on social media:
Internet harms, dude."to support awareness and preventative activity to counter internet harms"
I expect these harms will include things like disability protest groups, anyone criticizing the monarchy, "Trotskyites" and anarchists, unemployment or refugee support groups, union organisers, or people who criticize centralized government identity schemes. -

Also from the UK Conservative manifesto, they want to regulate social media and have a tax on it so that they can fund propaganda efforts.
I don't expect this is going to go down well either."Some people say that it is not for government to regulate when it comes to technology and the internet. We disagree."
These folks LOVE sanctioning people. They really get off on it."we will establish a regulatory framework in law to underpin our digital charter and to ensure that digital companies, social media platforms and content providers abide by these principles. We will introduce a sanctions regime to ensure compliance""We will also create a power in law for government to introduce an industry-wide levy from social media companies" -

So despite the millions of new users per second claimed for Mastodon if the fedstats is correct then there are only about 850 active users. -
