Opinionated, sarcastic, British software engineer upset about *expansive arm wave* all of this. Likes board games, miniatures, puzzles.
@jlou @jackwilliambell @codinghorror problem is, just like how the vast majority of self-described "Libertarians" could also be described as "people upset at the responsibilities of living in a civilised society", these days the majority of self-described "classical liberals" could also be described as "anti-woke racists very upset they're not allowed to use the n-word any more and disguising it under a veneer of free speech concern". Words don't mean anything any more, apparently.
EuanHey, something that regularly bums me out is that #Lego continues to make Harry Potter products. Lego brings me a lot of comfort, but their complicity in JK Rowling's hate campaign sours that significantly.
As a trans person, it makes me feel kinda helpless and invisible.
So I'd appreciate it if y'all could help me boost this petition across the fediverse, and share it around with group chats, and other socials if you're on them!
Not necessarily because I expect Lego to listen to a change.org petition, but because it would give me a lot more hope and faith in people if the voices saying "Hey, it's really messed up that Lego is doing this" were a lot louder than they are now.
(Alt-text: a change.org petition called "LEGO: End your relationship with JK Rowling and the Harry Potter franchise.")

Rev. Poppy Haze 𓅋every “ancient tradition” was invented between 1848-1870 and every “modern perversion” is so ancient as to predate writing

@craiggrannell I'm pretty sure from everything I've seen that the complex and multi-factored decision-making process goes:
- Does the user reside in a jurisdiction with actual data-protection and/or privacy laws that may make AI scraping against their will a pain in the arse for us?
- Um, that was it.
I've not heard of a single UK or EU resident getting their opt-out refused and I've not heard of a single US residemt getting it approved. Unless anyone knows differently?
