Sir John Curtice: Why Labour's Brexit focus has shifted from Leavers to Remainers

Reply in thread

I think a lot of Leavers did vote Labour in the past. They used to vote against Conservative policies that benefit the rich, by voting for Labour.

This very long campaign of anti EU and anti immigrant news has pushed these voters into being Leavers. They now vote for Reform. They actively vote for people who will make them poorer. They are voting to make their lives worse.

They vote this way because they think it makes other people's lives worse. Immigrants. Minorities. EU. Woke people. Climate nancies.

Most don't even understand they are voting against themselves. They vote for hate to make themselves feel powerful.

Apple Wants To Kill PWAs

I understood it as a technical limitation imposed by the changes Europe are demanding. They now have to allow different browser engines, so they can't just use Safari under the hood for PWAs. They will need some UI and the technical underpinning to allow the browser engine to be selected.

Use a password manager

That's true. But they do give you easy, portable, site specific passwords. No apps or database syncing required.

If you just want to log in to Lemmy on a work computer at lunch it seems a good option to me.

the encryption keys, why can't the government just sneak on them?

The best way I find to think about it is a padlocked box.

The public key is a box with an open padlock on it. I can give it to anyone. If someone puts a message inside the box they can lock the padlock, but they don't have the key to open it again.

I keep the key private. If someone sends me a locked box that has my padlock on it, only I have the key to open it and read the message.

Nostr vs Mastodon and why I'm using both

This is very informative and echoes a lot of my opinions.

I don't like my identity being tied to the instance I created an account on. I should own my identity, like on nostr.

My instance/relay having moderation decisions is not as clear cut. It's beneficial as long as your interests align; without it you end up having to manage crypto spam yourself. But moderation policies are fluid and work both ways on the fediverse.

It is important on the fediverse which instance you create an account on. Which is a huge barrier to entry for non tech users. Pointing them to the biggest instance by default compromises the decentralisation.
