Wait, what!? I have a recent post saying how *excited* I am that one my new releases has landed in the library system!

@darnell
The US only designated Switzerland as the qualifying state in June. Laws take a while to take effect - the draft first went up five years ago.

The US *will* be enforcing the fines, unless the executive order is overturned, but only very, very, recently did the EO come into effect.

@darnell However, since the US *agreed* to uphold it in July, that situation is not likely to repeat.

@Cycrev
If they do, it's not a wise position. The GDPR applies to EU citizens, even when outside the EU.

And when it comes to enforcing judgements... The EU has agreements with most of the rest of the world, including the US. Because it's not a jail term, the US is actually likely to uphold it.

@RicoElectrico
It looks like the marking happened around the kayak links:

@feld Adversary-in-the-Middle.

You take control of something like a phishing site, and tweak their attack into something that will better suit yourself.

One attacker hiding behind another.

Had a seizure in the checkout. Someone, with all the kindest intentions in the world, called the police to do a Wellness Check.

Please... Please! Don't do this. It disappoints, but the cops are not your friends. A Wellness Check isn't to see if you need help or a carer. It isn't to give you anything. It is to take it away.

Fuuuck. Some of my books have been added to GitHub's AI system, because I backed up the code I used to generate them in the private repositories, whilst keeping my copyright and not using any open source license.

I have filed a manual removal, but they've already trained on the data.

@rimu The dark/light mode links are good, but because the title element is on the span, and not the wrapping link, most voice software won't read it out. They're silent or "empty span".

@cR0w I don't know what is worse - that it worked, or that I expected it.

EDIT: worker/worked

Wee bit of #writing inspiration!

@nixCraft
Strange Planet uses "New Revolution's Day".

@MicroSFF Yeah. For my host, I can just add ".json" to the end of any post, to get the data.

@MicroSFF Those numbers, and who is responsible for each, show up on a post's JSON file, for me.

@eris Any young cousins you can teach it to? 😁

Zoom zoom.

@georgetakei What a fantastic shopping list. Time to check the local library.

@getimiskon Make one? I'd vote.

All hail the catfusion.

I do have a thing for paths...
