This was a mistake in the bill which he retracted, amended and resubmitted.

The first cousins are safe, legally anyway.

What I don't get is I assume they had a law so why was this needed?

The myth goes deeper.
The story of Lisa Holst originating this myth as a spoof fact is also a myth.

Neither the supposed journalists, Lisa Holst, nor the magazine, PC Professional, exist.

The hunt is on for the earliest reference. Probably on a newsnet group.

I used to do it a lot.
Typically this would be responding to someone being provocative.
I decided that they were angry people just trying to make other people angry.
So now I write articles mocking them.
I am much more relaxed now.

Having tools in matching colours is definitely a sign of youth.
As you get older and lose some, lend some (and the a-hole doesn't return them - yes I'm talking about you John Pinder) then you get some replacements that don't match. Eventually after many years you have an eclectic mix.

How are you on collecting random nuts and screws that might just come in handy one day? That is the true art of the cave.

Yes.
You are like the annoying person in the cafeteria drowning out me listening to Hungarian folk-punk on speaker.

If someone is annoying then it doesn't matter.
Everyone wants to think they are special and people remember them with affection. Just because they buy their cigarettes from the same place regularly it doesn't mean they have entered into a social contract with you.

Poor Dolly Parton.

She help fund a vaccine and no one is banging on about her vaccine causing you to get a large blonde hairdo (we all know it's a wig), and large breasts.

There is no democracy in the targeting of people who've helped fund development. I think they've missed a trick.

Think I've just had an idea about an article taking the piss out of anti -vaxers.

Sounds good to me.

We all make choices about the company we keep.

I choose not to hang out in biker bars because for me a motorbike is a form of transport and really not interesting to talk about. I get really bored.
My brother is a bike enthusiast with the tattoos etc and he can go on about bikes....

The only danger they pose is to themselves and the witless.

Having said that, they can be really boring and monotonous. Their arguments are gormless at best, and don't have the intelligence to know when their vacuous arguments have been shot between the water line.

Will they learn anything. Nope. They are immune to intelligence (see what I did there?).

What scraping can get is very little public information.

There's a lot of information that servers keep contained such as IP addresses of where you are when you made a post. Other info such as your email address remains contained within your own instance. Meta cannot get at that information. No other Fediverse server can get at that.

This blog from Gargoron (Eugen Rochko) who essentially created ActivityPub that underpin all these Fediverse systems including Mastodon, Calckey, Pixelfed, kbin, Lemmy etc.

Absolutely agree.

No-one ever took the lettuce's feelings into consideration.

I thought everything revolved around Mastodon.

Waiting for the day when YouTube annoy lots of users and the same discussion happens about Peertube.

Wherever you are, #kbin, #friendica, #Pixelfed, #bookwyrm, #Calckey, #Lemmy, #mastodon, #hubzilla, #Peertube (and many more), you are all citizens of the #Fediverse.

Some use the word #Fedizens

Not sure if it'll catch on.

Trolls will come up with a dumb take on anything.
Block em and.move on.

Exactly. Absolutely anyone can set up an instance.

Want your own Instagram type system? Roll out a Pixelfed server. Want your own Lemmy.

The #Fediverse is big. Very big. Probably up into tens of thousands of servers. No company could take it over, which is by design.

Will be interesting.
More likely to be noticed by calckey,misskey/friendica users who are on platforms.more similar to Facebook. Probably noticed by Mastodon users.

Not sure if kbin/Lemmy users will notice. This is based on me not noticing posts from these servers on Mastodon, calckey etc

My initial response was a recollection of the plot of The Kingsman.

Sticking implants in brains for fun is stupidity on a stick.

Implants are already used to control some forms of epilepsy, however these are on the vagus nerve and not in the brain. This sort of application makes sense.

My bad.

Oliphant maintains a minimum block list that most systems take as a starter list.

Each instance admin decides which servers to block for themselves. If you visit the info pages of some systems they will list blocked systems, and there are a lot of them.

There are some very unsavoury communities out there. Blocking usually revolves around how effective moderation is.

As an example you can see a list of servers blocked by mastodonapp.uk on the About page.

I am a donor on various instances.
I'd take a dim view of being eaten.

I'm guessing you haven't been on the #Fediverse very long so not picked up on the ethos of most of the folk who run the various instances.
Most are very protective of what they have created as a community and are definitely not in it for the money. Some are vehemently anti-capitalist.

There are many ways to get rich. Running an instance is not one of them.

Most of Europe including anyone in UK under 60, Asia, Japan, China, Australia. People in engineering and science.

Not many use Fahrenheit.

Couldn't figure out how to do CWS so apologies for any offence

Penis shortages.

In Medieval times penis shortages were dealt with by harvesting them from penis trees.

Why bother?

Ignore them and post away in the knowledge that noone is monetising your content.

Of course downvotes can be ironic such as the one I've just added....

Cribbage, mainly because I like calling out 'one for his knob '.

But realistically, on Social Media what's a friend?
None of them are going to buy you a drink, go along to a gig or help you move house.

Online friends are over rated.

Most Mastodon, Friendica, Calckey instances accept donations.

It is likely that kbin/Lemmy instances will likely follow the same model.

Advertising would not work on the Fediverse as the adverts would be blocked by other instances so the spread would be very limited so not attractive commercially.

That is one of the beauties of the federated model.
Also, as there is no algorithm or data about user interests there's no scope for advert targeting which advertisers would want.

The whole ethos of the #Fediverse is anti commercial.

There are some dark parts of the Fediverse.
Satan does have an account but not sure if it extends to kbin. He's tried to make it inconspicuous @s8n

Also be aware of the Endless Screaming @scream@scream@botsin.space

Also worth checking out Fox News. It's a bit different to the regular Fox News @FoxNews

Possibly. I'm not into commitment.
