Once you completely ignore the paradox of tolerance, you are already on an inevitable path to a fascist dictatorship.

Not the British one though.

The user will forget about the old UI after 2 weeks.

There's also no guarantee that the rel=me points to a fediverse instance, mastodon already has logic to deal with thus without reinventing the wheel with what's effectively a proprietary solution.

A neat way would be to re-use one the 200 already existing standards like rel="author" or even rel="me" (which mastodon already supports anyway). This solution just is just NIH-driven development.

He won't and they factored that in the decision. If you apply Pascal's Wager to state institutions, fascists always win if they manage to weaken the democratic safe guards, exactly because no one will go after them, but the minute they get the power they will go after everyone else.

But the US prides itself on being the poster child of capitalist dystopias, China likes to pretend it's a socialist country.

Yes. It's Dystheism.

She's generally good at managing her public persona, except when it comes to her ~~pollute more than a small city machine~~ private jet addiction. When people show you who they really are, believe them.

Since then, Yvette’s pulled the same “trick” four times, although she insists she doesn’t see herself as a shoplifter and is “a goody goody” by nature: “I earn a reasonable amount in my senior position, drive an SUV, and live in a desirable postcode. Before my divorce, our girls attended private school.”

This kind of ÜberKarens are the reason we can't get nice stuff. Actions of people like her will be used to crack down on people that literally can't afford basic needs and to reduce the privacy of everyone else, while making the service shittier at the same time.

And she has the gall of calling her self a "goody goody". Bullshit, no one so self entitled is a nice person.

Ironically, despite Apple's whining to get to this point, between this, and the EU forcing them to adopt USB-C, and, hopefully 3rd party stores and browsers, I may consider an iPhone for my next phone.

It's a pity you almost need to point a gun to their head for them to consider unshittifing their products.

When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

Good on your sister for not losing track of what makes her happy. Not doing things just because they are "childish" is the most childish trait an adult can display.
