Truly the only way to be safe from the British.

Can we do something about mirrors next? Every time I look in one I see a Br*t.

Perhaps some mindfulness therapy. Remind yourself how glad you are you don't see Fr*nch people in the mirror.

Too much Br*t pink!

"in order to comply with recent british legislation, void.rehab will be blocking all connections from britain. furthermore, to prevent british users from using a vpn to bypass the block, void.rehab will be blocking all connections not from britain. thank you for understanding"

Huh?

NGL I kinda assumed it was a funny way to announce they were shutting down.

All at once

It's the only way to be sure

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 15 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I don't get it, so they are blocking connections from Britain and also blocking connections not from Britain; so total isolation?

[–] jws_shadotak@sh.itjust.works 67 points 4 days ago

Yes, that's the joke

The latter is a stab at the part of the law saying that sites can't encourage the use of VPNs to bypass it. To paraphrase Ben Franklin's quote (as it's often used wrong) "don't take away our freedom in the name of safety, give us the freedom and ability to make ourselves safe." And the UK took both away by trying to discourage VPN safe practices to avoid their lockdown (that doesn't work, as recent news has shown).

So you need to be alien to access this server. 👽

[–] sga@lemmings.world 10 points 4 days ago

are aliens not "not british"? those alien/avenger movies were right when they showed the aliiens speak in legible english - they must have been colonised by british. must be for spices, sugar an tea
