In Australia's case, it was only after concessions were added that Facebook reinstated news on the platform.

Canada has taken a harder stance on the law, and it doesn't look like either side is planning on accepting a compromise anytime soon.

I wouldn't call it the unused state, but when recycled in a proper facility, the material recovered from lithium ion batteries can be used again in future battery production. Related: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2xrarUWVRQ&t=270s

  1. This new house hippo is "woke"

  2. The original house hippo is "not woke" (It appears exempt from "woke", because the new hippo is not just "woke" but "super woke")

  3. Using Bill Maher's supplied definition, it follows that the remake is now promoting "race as the first and foremost thing people should always see everywhere" [compare the original and remake to confirm this]

Extraordinary claims being made? The source the video links to is breakthefake.ca. You can visit the source yourself and verify whether random internet comments describing the website are truthful and accurate.

For year-round availability, bananas seem the most likely fruit. Prices are pushed down because of a short shelf life. High in vitamins and fiber, high sweetness for deliciousness (warning: must like bananas to proceed)

I wasn't expecting to find a new "polished" open source game I've never heard of from this thread, but somehow I've never heard of Thrive before. It's even got a steam release!

To share the wisdom of Weird Al Yankovic on this topic:

Even if the fine were to reach half of what he spent on Twitter, he would have to pay them $687,000/day for longer than the average life expectancy in the healthiest country on earth (87 years). A billion is such an absurd number.

Ok, I've looked at the source provided and don't see an e-mail field either. The account e-mail is also limited to your own instance, correct? This thread was making me mildly concerned that e-mails were being shared when federating between instances.

Edit: Been corrected, the following is NOT how it works! Original Text follows
Someone correct me if I'm getting details wrong, but from reading this post it appears as if fediverse admins are provided both the username and email accounts registered by those users that have visited their instances.

If that's true, one problematic scenario I can imagine is when someone has registered on the fediverse with a pseudonym, but has an e-mail address they also use on their real-life Facebook profile. Visiting a Facebook-run ActivityPub instance while logged in would give Facebook enough data to link both the pseudonymous account (with past and future post history), and the real-life Facebook profile.

So, even if you're not signed up for Facebook's version of ActivityPub, engaging with it could still be giving Facebook a source of ongoing data for building personal profiles and targeted advertisement that people would not provide on their own.

To try and give context, Homestar Runner was made in Adobe Flash and in its time rectangles were notoriously uncool in web design. Flash sites weren't limited to the rigid structure of a typical webpage, so you would often be mousing over and finding objects to interact with in whatever whimsical shape the designer wanted. Homestar makes lots of use of hovering the mouse, so if you're on mobile you might be missing half of the experience.

On this loading page, the small blue flag is the important part, which takes you to the main page that people remember

The link looks right but has one too many r's in the URL. Try www.homestarrunner.com
