I had no idea they were reusing the name. Apparently they had a different prototype under this name in 2017.

It happened almost a decade ago and part of the sale was the assets which included the brand. Everyone who cared to know already knows about it, again it happened ~9 years ago. techcrunch.com/…/opera-renegotiates-its-1-2b-sale…

- Comment on UK once again demands backdoor to Apple’s encrypted cloud storage 3 days ago:
They are still evil anti-customer machine, but reasonable people can acknowledge when they are doing something positive even when it’s done for selfish reasons.
Also, their PR person is a joke.
“We are gravely disappointed that the protections provided by ADP are not available to our customers in the UK given the continuing rise of data breaches and other threats to customer privacy.”
So if you cared that much my why did you refused to add iCloud end-to-end encryption for 11 years?

So your argument is a “he said she said” <…>
and then quoted the applicable (Universal Service) law that directly contradics Carr’s bullshit.

- Comment on US | FCC chairman leads “cruel” vote to take Wi-Fi access away from school kids 3 days ago:
Full quote
Carr said that Congress temporarily authorized the hotspot program during the pandemic, and the FCC didn’t have authority to bring it back when the congressional authorization expired.
Gomez disputed Carr’s legal argument, saying that “Congress gave the FCC permission to expand the applications of E-Rate funding as the technologies used to educate children evolve.” She pointed out that the Universal Service law says the FCC may designate additional services for support. Gomez continued:
When the E-Rate program was implemented, dial-up Internet was the standard, and today, September 30th, 2025, AOL is discontinuing dial-up service. It is safe to say the landscape of communications technology has changed dramatically throughout the life of the E-Rate program. As underscored during my visit to the High School for Environmental Studies in New York a couple of weeks ago, students are now using Chromebooks in classrooms on a regular basis, and they are expected to submit homework assignments online using platforms like Google classroom. These changes are made possible with support from E-Rate funding.
Yet George W. Bush did that for “bookmobiles” so we know Carr is full of shit.

- Comment on Google is blocking AI searches for Trump and dementia 4 days ago:
AI Overviews is content taken from existing sites, AI Mode is content generate entirely by an LLM model (which article in this post talks about). PolitiFact in reference to Google talks about autofill search feature which predates “AI” since it was released in 2004.
If you want people to take your aguments seriously, don’t mistort the facts to get your point across. Maybe Google fucked with their search algorithm or modified the weights to prefer some sources over others in the AI Overviews, but they couldn’t fuck with AI Mode since it didn’t exist then.
- Comment on Imgur blocks UK users after regulator threatens fine over child data use 4 days ago:
Privacy issues could be mitigated and to the specific “issue” of children and teenagers accessing adult content basic parenting and conversation would have a bigger impact than trying to forbid it. How has that worked out historically with alcohol or smoking?
By UKs definitions in OSA once considered family shows like Dancing with the Stars and other entertainment productions could be banned. Sexualized content is everywhere in real life, internet just mirrors it, not creates it.
The fundamental issue with age verification is censorship. Once framework is created it can be applied to any other content someone deems you shouldn’t access. What is legal today can be illegal tomorrow.
