Petition: Repeal the Online Safety Act We want the Government to repeal the Online Safety act.

UK folks should sign this petition (which I know never makes a difference, because why would the government actually listen to people?) but worth a shot. Starting to see effects of this roll out and it's making me angry 🙄

Depending on possibly non existing classes or classes which may no longer meet the contract that we implemented is YOLO at its finest 😛

If it may or may not be included then it may or may not work 😅 we can already write adapter classes and more correctly, put them in separate packages with hard dependencies on the versions they actually support. It's just effort - and probably that's really the problem that needs to be solved.

Why would I sign a contract and then ignore it?

This feature seems odd, and not sure why so many people are voting yes.

Meta Seeks to Block Further Sales of Ex-Employee’s Scathing Memoir An arbitrator has prevented the employee from promoting her book and disparaging the company until private arbitration concludes.

Meta won a legal victory on Wednesday against a former employee who published an explosive, tell-all memoir, as an arbitrator temporarily prohibited the author from promoting or further distributing copies.

As Vance 'lectures' Europe on free speech, it is good to be reminded that the United States ranks 55 (!) on the World Press Freedom Index.

The top 10 countries are ALL in Europe.

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

He is a grifter and a conman.

He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

P.s. multiculturalism is great.

So the EU has decided to standardize all chargers to USB C. That's great. Meantime in Brexit:

I got tired of mocking frameworks in class-based languages, so I created the simplest, most compatible, and most powerful mocking library that I could imagine. It's great for PHP / Java and other class-based languages.
