This is what we're up against. Bangor University, that fine and noble institution where I've spoken twice, nearly 150 years young and still going strong. The sheer hatred they reserve for us shows what could happen after 2029, but also that they're frightened of knowledge and learning.

The real point is this: so you heard people speaking a language you don’t understand, so what? So what? It’s not only not a big deal it isn’t a deal detectable with a microscope. Not everyone speaks English and no-one is obliged to make sure you can eavesdrop on their conversations. /5

In the face of the threat he decided to stay in and donate any sum recovered to @billablehour.bsky.social. This shows he is lovely. I can’t say I much care for the unspecified costs threat though.

He was chased for the questionnaire and when he wrote back to say he’d had a change of heart he received an email to say that if he withdrew he would have to pay the firm’s costs. Although the client letter stipulated fee rates there was no indication of what fees they claimed to have incurred. /2

A daily member signed up on a website to participate in a litigation relating to a data leak. Step one was signing a CFA and providing contact details. He was the emailed a questionnaire. At that point he decided that he would not bother. “These things happen” he reasoned. /1
