I think recent events are giving a lot of motivation for these kinds of initiatives that weren’t a huge concern in the past.
There’s likely going to be a bit of a scramble as we realise we can’t rely on America and their companies anymore.
Yeah, the EU has been building out alternatives to American cloud companies like Microsoft for a while now, and it’s coming in handy for some of them. I think France in particular are working on this and launched their own alternatives to Google Docs etc.

Context for people who don’t get the joke, the logo on the right is for Tailwind, a library that offers an alternative to using normal CSS for styling Web UIs and websites.
It provides you with microclasses that add flexbox, margins, shadows etc. and discourages you from using the “Cascading” part of CSS (which was likely a mistake imo)
Ultimately, it’s still CSS under the hood which is the joke.
TL;DR:
This bill’s proposed amendment NC21 would out trans people. It was rejected by the MPs, but the House of Lords have effectively appealed this.
However, the article claims that even if this amendment isn’t in there, the bill itself is dangerous, allowing the government to reintroduce these effects even without the amendments, by allowing itself to define how and what data needs to be shared by verification providers.
It would do so at its own discretion, without further legislative scrutiny.
I might be whooshing here but you could also be a liberal and take action?
Protests are happening everywhere. If you aren’t too ill to do so, show up.
Yeah, but that’s because I choose the second highest plan available to me. Entry cost is lower, and I’d expect most poor families would go for that or the next tier above.
$30 discount on broadband bills
It’s wild that it costs much above $30 at all for you guys. In the UK 100Mbps starts at £22/m (~$30) and I’m comfortably at 500mbps at around £35/m ($45) and we’ve got pretty bad deals compared to other European countries!

Isn’t the whole point of Signal that it’s end-to-end encrypted?
How can it (or rather it’s fork) getting hacked result in messages being exposed?
Agreed. Sex is more irrelevant now than ever.
Sure, we should help fight sex/gender-based discrimination, and I do believe that in some very specific cases that information is important. However, that is information for you to reveal at your discretion.
We don’t mandate people disclose their disabilities, kinks, hobbies or race. Why should sex be any different? Chances are, it’s none of your business.
Uhhhh republican?
I dunno man that sounds pretty lit
Ok that’s very funny
