Yeah, the EU has been building out alternatives to American cloud companies like Microsoft for a while now, and it's coming in handy for some of them. I think France in particular are working on this and launched their own alternatives to Google Docs etc.
Context for people who don't get the joke, the logo on the right is for Tailwind, a library that offers an alternative to using normal CSS for styling Web UIs and websites.
It provides you with microclasses that add flexbox, margins, shadows etc. and discourages you from using the "Cascading" part of CSS (which was likely a mistake imo)
Ultimately, it's still CSS under the hood which is the joke.
This bill's proposed amendment NC21 would out trans people. It was rejected by the MPs, but the House of Lords have effectively appealed this.
However, the article claims that even if this amendment isn't in there, the bill itself is dangerous, allowing the government to reintroduce these effects even without the amendments, by allowing itself to define how and what data needs to be shared by verification providers.
It would do so at its own discretion, without further legislative scrutiny.
Yeah, but that's because I choose the second highest plan available to me. Entry cost is lower, and I'd expect most poor families would go for that or the next tier above.
It's wild that it costs much above $30 at all for you guys. In the UK 100Mbps starts at £22/m (~$30) and I'm comfortably at 500mbps at around £35/m ($45) and we've got pretty bad deals compared to other European countries!
And yet, the Supreme Court in the UK claims that trans people shouldn't be afforded the same gender-based discrimination protections as their cis counterparts.
Discrimination is a social artifact, based on performed gender, not biological sex (whatever that means), as evidenced here.
