The BBC gave up being a serious public broadcaster many years ago. It was right to jettison Lord Reith's 'moralism' in the 1960's, but to abandon his fundamental vision of public broadcasting in the Third Millennium has proved an utter disaster. Just like Brexit!
The BBC cutting Late Junction is a blow for experimental music.

Unilaterally revoke A50 or request a delay to enable a Second Referendum to take place. The only serious, 'grown-up' options now.

#Poverty and #climate more important than #Brexit, says Corbyn | #Politics | The Guardian

Stop Wasting Connections, Use HTTP Keep-Alive
Reusing a connection avoids the overhead of making a DNS lookup, establishing a connection, and performing an SSL handshake.

Along with the current trend of going back to gopher, http increasingly seems like a need for a do-over doesn't it?
The huge font, js and tracking overhead is insane for many otherwise simple pages. I mean just think of the need for the word 'render'...
