No April Fool's pranks at the space today, which is a good sign.
@matigo I actually tried one that was on loan and I didn't really like the feel of it. I knew that Apple has made a huge blunder and what led to these issues.
Apple has lost its magic…
This is just another example on how bad these MacBook Keyboards are and Apple continues to drop the ball. [techmeme.com]
I mean seriously, they had three plus years to get it right.
@hazardwarning Which will be a guarantee giving the US has tried it before with SOPA and failed. This gives the cartel ammunition to get another crack at it especially killing Section 230.

@hazardwarning Feels like a compliment for someone to source link to your site, the beauty of an open Internet on show.
And yes, this is bad for everyone but a very select few.

@streakmachine Just don't come to the US since there will be a similar law passed. A SOPA 3.0 if you will.
@matigo Yep, which is basically worse that what the failed SOPA brought to the table. It's basically it on steroids, no question about it. It's pretty much a guarantee that the copyright cartel are going to be on a mission to get these type of laws implemented globally, and they might get their wish since most politicians don't even know what the Internet is!
Also, the tax link is so dumb that now bloggers and smaller news sites (like Techdirt and Boing Boing) are going to be shut down because they can't risk it in terms of liability.
In addition, this will make the tech giants, the so called GAFAMS even more powerful because they can afford to fight this. Most of the smaller ones can't.
