OK, the #LinkTax and #CensorshipMachines are coming unless we contact our EU Parlaimentarians and make some noise: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/map.html
Summary:
* #LinkTax = Copyright extends to summary snippets, and potentially hyperlinks themselves, so sites can sue you for linking to them without paying a fee. Under current draft, _sites cannot waive this right for search/indexing_.
* #CensorshipMachines = Sites become liable for all uploads and must implement magical perfect upload filters or die.

Haha there is a 'blockchain hackathon' here in my library. Feels like buzzword bingo but they are serious. Some cooperation between economic and computer science institutes if I remember correctly.
tfw you start writing a very rambly toot but it ends up at 520 characters so you have to edit it, but it's like. No. It's not authentic rambling anymore. I've defiled the purity of my flow-of-thought writing. I've done injustice to my impulsiveness and now I'm fabricating spontaneity so I can share a sad impersonation of my ramblings which is a mere shadow in plato's cave compared to the real stuff
nvm he caught and ate the gnat and now he's giving me that 'apex predator' look
so I'm reading this article on judeo-christian philosophy for one of my classes and extrapolating from the author's rhetoric style christians are 'people' who believe 'quotes' can give 'words' more 'meaning' (especially if you stress that it's /literally/ 'mean-ing', that is, the words actively 'mean' something).
I was gonna make a pun about postmodernism here but my cat is playing with a gnat and it's hella cute brb

Enough about the #GDPR. Let’s talk about the next challenge, #copyright.

Julia Reda has an update: «Update from May 25th 2018, 13:37: Member State governments have today adopted their position on the copyright reform, with no significant changes to the upload filters and link tax provisions. It is now up to Parliament to stop them.»

RT @failnaut@twitter.com: i love this conspiracy theory that game developers have been "pressured" or "harassed" into making their games more diverse, rather than just being sick of making the same protagonist their entire careers and wanting to do something new and interesting

Kill Six Billion Demons just released a massive update and it looks pretty damn amazing. If you're not following KSBD yet you should give it a look (cw: violence, gore, death, large amounts of demons being killed) https://killsixbilliondemons.com/ #KSBD #webcomics

was trying to get a pic of this sweet boy looking all melted but then he heard an interesting noise and decided to stare at me #cats
Hello everyone. I have faced many vicious deadlines this week and I have emerged victoriously, so that now I may once again spend my time among the fine folk of the fediverse.
Also it's freaking hot over here, gonna post some pics of my cat melting
