I've been thinking since my early teens if not earlier that copyright is an outdated law in the digital age. If this dispute leads to more people realizing this, good.

Do Canadians use both units?

TBH I fail to see the significant difference between this and a function declaration.

Ivan is just the Slavic form of John, a very common name in English speaking countries too.

From your article:

Despite this, KOSA enjoys bipartisan support, including a July endorsement from President Joe Biden.

The worst laws in the US are usually supported by both parties.

I think this one is easy: you send Hitler any book about German history from 1933 to 1990.

Because you're in a bubble of "big corporations bad". Not uncommon on the fediverse for obvious reasons.

Do they do that now for Android?

I have not followed this stuff very closely. Here's a question. This article says:

People took issue with how the Web Integrity API would bring DRM to the open web.

Has there not been DRM on the web for many years by now for videos?

This was funnier on reddit where there could be only one "superbowl" sub and it was taken by enthusiasts of superb owls. It is less funny on a platform where "superbowl" on other instances can still be a community for Super Bowl fans.

I was for a long time unable to understand the appeal of the structure of Twitter/Mastodon.

Recently I have become an active Mastodon reader (reader; I have made no public posts). I realize now that it is basically an RSS reader: you follow sources (people/organizations) you are interested in and get to read those in reverse-chronological order. If you aren't an organization, celebrity, journalist, activist, politician or otherwise someone whose thoughts people in the outside world would care about, then there is no real point in ever posting anything there; people will not read it anyway because they aren't following you. This is unlike the discussion-forum structure of Reddit/Lemmy where ordinary people are meant to participate.
