@mpanhans @carlrichell Hi, this research could point to who… https://github.com/upper-up/meta-lobbying-and-other-findings
@M0CUV Oh wow! I had not seen that. Thanks for sharing.
@carlrichell Do you have an idea of who is behind the push for these laws? It seemed odd that so many jurisdictions happened to take up this legislation at the same moment. There must be some group or organization pushing this but I never understood who or why.

Happy π Day! And Albert Einstein was born #OTD 147 years ago!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi
Isaac Newton used infinite series to compute π to 15 digits, later writing "I am ashamed to tell you to how many figures I carried these computations".

"I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."

Mastodon, you are a influence...
Since I joined I have ditched most subscription stuff like Spotify, Amazon and Netflix.
Made the swap to Linux.
Started painting.
Now I am considering whether or not I could be a Person Who Bikes Places.
Another good place to use #opensource software: election voting systems. Lower cost than proprietary systems and can be independently verified to do what it is supposed to.
