The Telegraph has taken that fake story with the stock photo illustrations down. But it's pitiful what the right wing media in this country has become.
Brexit broke them and they never recovered. They spent years pretending black was white and up was down. They lost their moral bearings completely.

I will say, I know a *lot* of devs who made good choices like this to take care of their users, quietly doing the right thing. I wish more people knew how often some programmer made a thoughtful decision to protect their interests that they never knew about.
10 years ago, in college, I turned down an offer to buy a privacy-focused app that I built, rather than risk my users' data being exposed. Instead, I licensed the app's source code to them for half the money, and accepted a job offer to work on their forked version of the app.
I could have made millions of dollars, multiple times, if I had chosen to just go along with people who later went on to destroy the public sphere, to undermine journalism, to weaken democracy globally, to enable the rise of fascism, to *literally directly enable genocide*. So many others did.

The key is bringing down rents and mortgages via a rate of housebuilding we’ve never seen before. That will put money in peoples pockets. Everything follows from there.

Could Tailwind agree to follow Widely Available Baseline? · tailwindlabs tailwindcss · Discussion #15817
Hi, Congrats on the v4 release! However the browser support, in a professional setting, makes me a bit itchy. Chrome and Safari are March 2023 versions, so that's not so bad as we only have 8 month...

A great start would be retaliating immediately with a 100% tariff on Tesla imports.
GET READY: The White House just said Trump will implement 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada and a 10% tariff on China beginning SATURDAY.

It’s all beginning to feel a bit 1984. We’re in a battle against autocrats and oligarchs who are using money and misinformation to dismantle democracies. That’s why we’re looking for 1,984 new monthly supporters to make our biggest and boldest plans a reality (see link in bio)

Great to hear that brands have now started shuttering their accounts on the far-right cesspit that Twitter has become.
