But didn’t the BoE say that we were all very rude and uncouth for taking payrises while the economy was mending?

It’s almost like they’re a bunch of self serving cantankerous old fucks with no grasp on how real people live or function in society.

Replying again to say: that actually makes sense. You should have said that upfront! Suddenly being locked out of critical software is definitely a risk worth considering

Why?

His actual goal is in the final sentence of the article and has nothing to do with moral intent.

It’s more about scale. Small open source projects might get one PR a month. Your average tech company is dealing with dozens of PR every single day. Review fatigue is real in these environments

Once these things gain traction, politicians always kowtow to the loudest public opinions

Which is also exactly how Signal works too; I migrated both two days ago. Process was virtually identical.

Mark Zuckerberg needs to tread carefully or he might have to spend another afternoon answering the nonsensical questions of a bunch of geriatric luddites.

So, fire him? This is a fairly unambiguous failure to meet the requirements of your role

No, not at all. People really feel that way about Trump
