Sorry to all my lawyer friends who spent a bunch of time learning how law works in the US. I had friends who were Flash developers and things turned out alright for them after they pivoted to C# or whatever. Hopefully there's an equivalent for our national legal system

Not only are these laws themselves a prior restraint on protected speech, which is a presumptive harm even if it's anticipatory, but the work you need to do to prepare to comply with them incurs costs that are not recoverable.

In general, courts have failed to grasp the amount of *work* it takes to comply with this bullshit. Mississippi passed HB 1126 (their bullshit social media deanonymization and content censorship law) 2024-04-30 with an effective date of 2024-07-01, giving 62 days to build entirely new systems.

Apropos of nothing other than the judiciary seizing the right to second guess all of federal administrative and regulatory rule making, I note that there are currently 46 vacant federal judgeships, 27 of which don’t even have a nominee. 🤷♂️

Me: huh, I think I’d like a majigger. I bet I could spend a little extra and get something higher quality. Let me do some research. Niche forum/subreddit: anything that costs less than [way above your budget] is disposable trash and you shouldn’t bother getting a one until you can spend that much.

I'm not going to litigate the specifics of this situation, but there are some critical lessons here for people who are thinking of running a labeler (and to some extent they're the lessons of T&S in general, but they are even more important given the paradigm of composable moderation).

This is probably part of why everyone on bluesky is 38 years old: 38 year olds are basically the only people who consider it totally normal to flee a sinking ship and then just casually resume the conversation on the tropical island they end up on. They've outlived dozens of ships.

The brief interregnum where Twitter lost all appeal but my bluesky feed was low traffic enough that I didn't really need to check in more than once a day or at all? I felt so disconnected, but also much calmer? Honestly, not that different from moving from DC to SF. The din quiets.

Does Virginia have anything nearly close to the level of the rest-of-NY vs NYC contempt/hostility dynamic that animates Albany politics? Like does the tidewater actively try to undermine penalize NOVA local government?

TIL Nintendo put a lockout chip the OG NES, which both contributed to the system's notorious hardware reliability issues, and also didn't really stop folks from running games Nintendo didn't approve. DRM: screwing things up for paying customers and not even doing its one job - since the 80s, even!

(Reader, it did not.) In fact the Office conducted another study in parallel on § 512 that was premised on the assumption that piracy was, in fact, rampant. Anyway, all of this is context for this...

When the Copyright Office did a study of the law's anti-circumvention provisions (i.e. the notorious 17 USC § 1201 et seq.), my biggest point of frustration was that the study (and the report) all accepted the premise that the law actually did what it was supposed to do (stop piracy.)
