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.

Listened to an interesting programme about mathematics on the radio the other day. Dr Eugenia Cheng discussed how 1+1 doesn't necessarily produce 2. Sometimes it is 1. If you add one pile of flour to another pile of flour you still have one pile of flour. It's all about context. When it is true and in what sense it is true. Any ideas for other answers to 1+1?

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.

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.

Oliphant maintains a minimum block list that most systems take as a starter list.
Will it be when journalists from tabloid newspapers start putting articles on their Facebook pages saying 'after a fallout with the neighbours/school/bride/boss one angry mother/homeowner/parent took to kbin/Lemmy to ask others what they think'. I suspect that most tabloid journalists would find the concept of instances and different systems showing the same content too mind-blowing.
