Do you help run a federated or decentralised service in Europe -- or know someone who does? Please pass this link on. It's the application to meet politicians to discuss how the EU's copyright filters (Article 13/17) will be implemented.

Men wearing tuxedos are always boring for me to look at because it's just the same suit over and over again. It's like a crowd of penguins with human heads attached.

New rule:

You don't get to say "oh, you could sell that on Etsy/set up a Patreon/write an e-book and sell it/etc" unless you promise to buy stuff from the person you are saying it to, at a price that pays them a living wage for their time *after* material and admin costs.

Shoutout to AsmoArael @ https://www.artstation.com/asmoarael for helping me realize this character.
