It's very fun realising how many of our desktop apps in my workplace rely on Cloudflare-backed web services behind them.

My team's data modelling tool is down because its authentication and licence-validation service uses Cloudflare.

I gave a talk a little while ago where I made the bold claim that most of us don't really browse the web anymore, we just browse various different subelements of Cloudflare.

@katrinakatrinka Some face reelection in 2028, but most not until 2032.

At least one isn't standing for reelection at all, apparently making this woeful act of party self-harm a final parting shot.

I don't understand what they're thinking.

I don't think anyone should expect a radical shift after this.

Everyone should prepare themselves for a mildly centre-right milquetoast middle manager — again.

Though it'd be funny if Cable or Clegg get into the mix.
