Hey. British. People. Read. This. Thread.

Seriously.

While no doubt the US is incredibly broken, many there are speaking out and condemning the rampant racism; it's an active issue.

Here in the UK, too many people are content to be apathetic and tolerant of racism. I'm not going to shut up about this, until the day I leave the UK because the latent xenophobia becomes just too much to bear.

GDPR scares me. Not because it isn't a good idea. It's the implementation.

Problem #1: They're doing it in a 'waterfall' style, deciding how everything will be after the law drops, with no clear mechanism or timelines to fix broken things. Problem #2: The above proposal, which describes sweeping, if minor, changes to how WHOIS information is shared, is published as a PDF, and takes 14 pages to describe three simple options. Inaccessibility through bureaucracy.
