But didn't the BoE say that we were all very rude and uncouth for taking payrises while the economy was mending?

It's almost like they're a bunch of self serving cantankerous old fucks with no grasp on how real people live or function in society.

Replying again to say: that actually makes sense. You should have said that upfront! Suddenly being locked out of critical software is definitely a risk worth considering

It's more about scale. Small open source projects might get one PR a month. Your average tech company is dealing with dozens of PR every single day. Review fatigue is real in these environments

Great summary, but I want to point out that the reality of why they're doing this is to pander to racist voters who were told their opinion by a highly effective villification campaign against this woman in tabloid newspapers.

Once these things gain traction, politicians always kowtow to the loudest public opinions

Which is also exactly how Signal works too; I migrated both two days ago. Process was virtually identical.

I much prefer Signal, but can't judge WhatsApp to harshly on this tbh.

Mark Zuckerberg needs to tread carefully or he might have to spend another afternoon answering the nonsensical questions of a bunch of geriatric luddites.

No, not at all. People really feel that way about Trump

I'd like to see it restore the state of the search results modal on returning from a result. This would make it much easier to do things like quickly add multiple subscriptions to related communities
