@petealexharris @GlasWolf @mullvadnet yeah it's important to remember that, whilst yes trending-down-from-30% polling figures are kinda terrifying, it really doesn't translate to 30% seats at all, especially when unlike the LibDems they don't ‘know how to play the game’.
It's still plausible enough they end up the largest seat bloc, or close to, but in practise an outright majority is unlikely — so it all come down to some sorta deal with the Tories most probably.
@petealexharris @GlasWolf @mullvadnet and yeah, one can only hope people will be sensible enough before or after the election to come together as a democratic alliance and beat them to the Palace.

@mullvadnet How on earth is this even enforceable?
@alexanderdyas @mullvadnet Yeah, I don’t get it. How is the government going to prevent people from downloading VPN software?

The UK has announced plans to fast-track legislation requiring “age verification for VPN use”. The correct term, however, is not age verification but identity verification.
A law like this would require everyone to identify themselves in order to use a VPN. This would pose a risk to whistleblowers, violate human rights, and represent yet another step toward an authoritarian society.
@mullvadnet if youre able to add some actions to the thread, that would be helpful. i.e., what users in the uk can do

@mullvadnet I challenge all of you to do something about it, you may thing that posting stuff online is enough, but you should be coordinated enough to rise against your own government in case v for vendetta fascism levels are present or some sort of pre-1984 fascism stages are met.
We have mesh networks, ESP8266, several IoT devices, vpns, yggdrasil protocol, E2EE, what is stoping you from coordinate and start social movements, are you all waiting to be on your knees with a boot?
I recommend reading books on subjectivity colonization.

@nuwagaba2 @mullvadnet Both join, and vote for, the Green party.
@sundew
That's great. But are people over there aware that they're being enslaved? -

@keithp isn't wint_t supposed to be at least as wide as wchar_t since it must be able to store any wchar_t plus WEOF?

I want to try making a highly autonomous fediverse bot, just for fun.

@keithp apparently this isn't a glibc issue but a decision shared with at least some of the BSDs?
e.g. OpenBSD also prints a single wide character.

@GustavinoBevilacqua @lysander /me medita di andare a scaldarsi nel tostapane un po' di pane col sale grosso sopra avanzato dalla cena di ieri, versarci sopra un po' di olio crudo, e rosicarselo in silenzio :D

step 1: “oh, nice coincidence”
step 2: “feeling of @adapalmer Terra Ignota intensifies (iirc it was Easter and the end of Ramadan, not the beginning)”
step 3: “I'm sorry for those muslim children in the diocese of Milan¹ who will not be allowed to stuff themselves on sweets next Saturday with their christian-ish schoolmates (assuming that those sweets aren't fried in pork lard and thus out of bounds anyway)”
¹ where Lent begins four days later than the rest of the catholic world, for historical reasons

Patton Oswalt as a Vulcan is very funny, and made funnier by the fact that he plays it completely straight.
