Everyone in the tech industry facepalms almost every time legislators try to pontificate on technology, but the British government appears to be trying to set a new record. After putting iMessage and FaceTime at risk, the government is now suggesting that it might ban some Apple security updates.
Is Britain as relevant nowadays as people think tho?
Every day we sink further into irrelevance. Look at the fate of Greece. Their culture and contributions to mathematics, philosophy and literature created the foundations of modern civilization. Now they are a holiday destination and not much else.
Well, you guys don’t even have holiday destination going for you. Good luck lads.
We’re fucked!
No
I don’t think , that’s why the quotes on British Empire half joking, but let’s be honest I am clueless here maybe they are more relevant than I think they are.
When you have submarines with nuclear missiles on them, you remain pretty damn relevant.
North Korea relevant then?
There are those who think Britain is still great. That is why they could convince so many to vote for Brexit.
But since the world has become so interconnected, and Britain has lost all its colonies, it won’t be capable of dealing with the world on its own anymore.
Some needed Brexit in order to come to that conclusion.
