I haven't social-mediaed in my own name since... since... I think since I shuttered Book of Trogool. Which was a while ago.
(Editorializing for LJ doesn't quite count. Not social media exactly.)
But what the hey, let's give it another whirl. It'll be interesting to see who uses it to try to take me down THIS time.

Things that can still stop #Article13:
-Council of Ministers can still reject it
-Individual countries still have to create their own laws to enforce it (this is not like GDPR, which came into force directly). This could cause a lot of friction against the law.
-Article 13's requirements are technically impossible: it requires filters to stop all piracy while allowing all fair use. This makes the law vulnerable to being rewritten/rejected at some point in the future.

A friend who's a library programmer called computers "microchipped treason buckets" and, as someone who works with computers... I love it.

@fsfe , SRSLY???
Why not free/libre/open-source DRM, free/libre/open-source tracking, profiling and predictive algorithm, free/libre/open-source drone strikes, while we're at it? What a disgrace :(
That thing where errands that have been hanging fire for a long time finally get done and it's SUCH a load off.
(Kinda literally even. I finally handed over to the recyclers a dead iMac that's been sitting around for most of a decade.)
