That could be any number of places!

No. And forecasts of snow are barely reliable 10 hours out.

No one can forecast snow in the UK unless it’s already snowing.

This is hardly a surprise, given that the first thing he did when released before was try to circumvent the restrictions placed on him.

Then whoever was overseeing said “rehab” should be arrested. Right?

The girl got life with a minimum of 22 years (and a comment saying it would “take a lot of work” for her to be released), The boy got life with a minimum of 20.

Would be kind of hilarious if they didn’t use Chicago Style.

I do think though that a lot of people are going to be quite disappointed when the next government don’t actually do very much.

Which is what the app on my phone is based on already. I manage it most days easily by walking from the bus station to work and back, which is ~1 mile. And that doesn’t include the time I’m actually at work, because I can’t wear my smart watch actually in the office.

This is going to carry on until we get a Phil Woolas situation and some election results get overturned.

Furthermore, what’s even the point of open standards if you don’t want them to be adopted.

Well, yes. There does seem to be a lot of “we want open standards but we don’t want big companies to use them” among fediverse users.

I’m pretty sure most people don’t want it to…

Publicly available =/= public domain.

Its not piracy to just webscrap everything for data…

Yes it is.

The BBC followed this up with an article about similar stories, including the two different “soft toy mistaken for an escaped tiger” ones.

It does also remind me of the (in)famous “false leg mistaken for paedophile” incident.

FPTP isn’t inherently undemocratic. It’s not ideal, for any number of reasons, but it does have the advantage of a strong local link to representatives and (usually) leads to strong governments. I personally would prefer STV like Ireland has as a first choice, and as a second choice some form of MMP (like the Scottish Parliament, or New Zealand, or Germany)

Authors need to be able to make a living from writing, unless you want far less books to be written. And there is some logic in allowing them to leave some sort of rights to their family, even if it’s only for like 10 years.

Now, all that being said, my personal opinion is fuck the US legal system and fuck copyright.

Some form of copyright has to exist, and - as angrily explained to me by authors - it needs to extend somewhat beyond the life of the author. I’m certainly never going to agree with it being indefinite though.

I’m amazed that it’s taken this long for a high profile lawsuit about it.
