LFGSS and Microcosm shutting down 16th March 2025 (the day before the Online Safety Act is enforced)
I'll out myself as an anti-capitalist... Or rather I have a fundamental belief in privacy, that for us to have a democracy we require privacy at it's core, which means virtually no surveillance, etc.
I just couldn't bring myself to build what the rest of the internet has become. Some of what this law represents is that, from my perspective. My rejection of this is on so many fronts.
And very much to your credit. #bringbackrep What has been 'built' is not only simply stultifying and depressing, but also extremely dangerous (we're seeing it in manipulated elections, increasing market domination by large companies, ruin of people who don't want to exploit the ridiculous competitive advantage over the Internet, completely unsustainable logistics (delivering each parcel ordered on a whim individually from x number of delivery companies) and crazy transport all over the world, etc.). No-one should hold as much data as anti-social media companies do, certainly not even governments.

They definitely do.
No, they don't.
It's behind you.
No, it's not.
Oh yes, it is, etc.

All Putin's lackeys.

This just in. RIP victims. You really wonder about agent provocateurism here (elections in Germany will be on the 23rd of February).

@Velocio, have you considered diaspora as a possible asylum? I don't really know anything about it beyond what the web-site says about it and the fact that a friend of mine uses it.

I'm sure there will be catches somewhere (such as 'podmin', urgh), but I thought I'd mention it.

Ah, very good. I'll be there. Apologies for previously suggesting a pub that's not up a big hill. :)

I have the book this is from somewhere. The quote may relate to Tolkien's famous memory of when his mother told him that it had to be 'great green dragon' rather than 'green great dragon'.
There will be exceptions to this rule, but probably very few ('absolutely' is too strong in application to a rule; principles are exceptionless, rules are not). Also, there are of course other kinds of adjective, e.g. those used to qualify abstract nouns, e.g. 'essential' in 'essential quality' isn't covered by the above list. It's a good list, but not exhaustive.
The order is also not really a question of 'word order' but of logic, i.e. a progression towards what is most substantial. For instance, your opinion of whether something is lovely or not is more distant from the object than accidental, contingent, and necessary properties. That the dragon is green is more substantial than the fact that it is great, e.g. it would have been green as a hatchling, too, and only grew to be great over time. You could conceivably have whittling knives with different-coloured blades, and so on.
They're now claiming that they have another account and logged in as a new user. No idea if true.
