Have you noticed how the things the draconian and censorious DSA was supposed to do, a member state just started doing with laws which were around for ages anyway?

In the end, rather than getting a less draconian law, someone ends up with *two* draconian laws.

It looks like someone from another instance can see my posts so that is good and talking to users on other instances appears to work.

I suspect the forensic types discover sites by following their samples (which might already have a skew), or parts of them, around.

There are new posts mixed in with the looping old ones on here.

Ironically, the same posts looping is the same thing that would happen on Twitter.

The federated feed is still there.

The local feed appears to have vanished.

My profile isn't loading.

No 500 this time.

Testing again?

Okay, that sort of worked but it required a new page.

While trying to post this one, one failed with a 500.

Hmm... Let's test this.

Well, so far, the next update to the science post mentions human rights a bit more and expands on the VR paragraph (as I mentioned last time, I wanted to get something out on that, as there were a few unpleasant abstract / hypothetical takes out there, so this is going to be a supplement to that).

Even if it's forensic adjacent, if a paper fails to find a link between something and crime, then that might still be interesting, but it's concerning if it's interpreted as there being a lot of criminals.

Also, there is a paper which admits that their samples were forensic adjacent now which I guess is progress.

I'll get around to working on that science post. I didn't know what to make of the update so that got delayed a bit.

It's honestly annoying when someone pretends as if a clearly unreasonable politician is making a valid argument.

Religion isn't really an excuse for being a horrible person.

What do you think the fascists mutter to themselves? In the name of the censor, the fascist, and the holy algorithm? Amen. ?
