UK politics, post-Brexit polling, good news(?)
Yoooo WTF
A recent poll has shown that almost forty percent of Britions would rejoin the EU, even if this meant adopting the Euro.
This is incredible, because in 2020, the number was only 11%. In less than half a decade, support for the Euro has basically sky-rocketed.
The highest it ever has been pre-Brexit was like 25%.
It isn’t a majority of voters – around 50% would not join the EU if we had to use the Euro.
But it’s only a matter of time before it becomes the majority, especially with such a huge upswell in support.
Brexiteers will point to this number and say “oh, it’s not a majority, so what?”. It’s not a majority YET.
I can foresee that the UK will rejoin the EU sometime in my lifetime, if Britons are even considering the Euro as an option.

@PsyChuan “People aren’t buying domains as much as they used to because the prices have gone up for everything. How can we drive domain sales?”
“Valentines Day sales?”
“POIFECT!”

Ultimately things are okay! They could be better but I’ll be okay.
What I have experienced boils down to this: the way the country works from a procedural and rights perspective is supportive (aside from changing gender marker on gov docs). From a political and media perspective it’s horrible.

Good: Changing my name on official gov docs has been painless and they understand that trans people exist and have rights.
Bad: Some laws are old and dumb and politicians are getting in the way of changing those.
Good: The things that are closely important to me re being trans have been great.
Bad: The media and politicians are shit.

The way Rishi Sunak made a transphobic comment in PMQs and didn’t even apologise after the fact for it is just incredible. It put me in a retrospective mood today thinking about how the start to my trans journey has been.
Good: GP is really supportive of me transitioning.
Bad: GP surgery hasn’t changed my name despite having been told months ago.
Good: My employer and coworkers have been supportive.
Bad: Council were not helpful re name change.

An important aspect of the hacker ethos is the "got so mad at broken proprietary thing that I fixed it myself" attitude. It runs explicitly counter to the cop mentality half of infosec has these days.

Photos of the original jury-rigged server for Ultima Online.
This setup was not remotely unique for the early days of online services. Most of those were literally just a bunch of hard cabled PCs put together.
(Thanks to Mr Talida for fixing the orientation)

Crunchyroll is shutting down the Funimation streaming service and deleting everyone's purchased copies of stuff, while also hiking their own prices.
Stop paying for streaming media. Buy things you actually own. Or get it elsewhere.
@tryst They may have not been great but I am fond of the form factor from an aesthetics perspective.

Cory Doctorow @pluralistic : Companies like Tesla, Amazon and Cruise that claim to have replaced human workers with AI are often outright lying. Often, they’re instead replacing local employees with remote workers paid peanuts in India and other developing countries.
“So much AI turns out to be low-waged people in a call center in the Global South pretending to be robots that Indian techies have a joke about it: ‘AI stands for “absent Indian.”’”
