Impending Disaster? · 10:58am Jun 2nd, 2018

I really don't want to go all Chicken Little on everyone, but you may want to look at this blog by Dusty the Royal Janitor, especially if you live in the EU. Though if this is as bad as it looks, it will affect everyone.

I think either nobody's noticed the problem on this side of the pond, or he's somehow mistaken. There's like zero awareness in the political blogs, which seem like they'd be the exact venues that would be blown up by this.

I hope this isn't going to be that big of a deal. But regardless, this seems like a good time to mention the Fimfiction archive:

It's always a good idea to have multiple copies of everything floating around.

Ah, yes, not the first I've heard of this. :/ We need to dissolve the idea of nations so that we can start helping our friends across the ocean with their political issues.

Wouldn't be the first time legislature with a potentially massive impact on the Internet flew under the radar for a surprisingly long time.

Most appreciated. Here's hoping we won't need it.

With any luck, they'll return the favor.

The Net Neutrality thing turned out not to be so bad, but this one is already affecting some sites. That and the new ToS laws that got passed everywhere.

Agreed. We’re all sharing the same planet and same net.

Well, nobody here noticed the big fight between Amazon and Australia until that whole mess blew up, so who knows? But, yeah, this seems a bit far-fetched and unlikely to me. (I'm still downloading the latest version of the archive, though.)

Under communism there will be no borders, just one people united in equality and harmony.

Yeah, this is as bad as it sounds. And if the GDRP is any indication, then this won't affect only sites hosted in the EU, but anything hosted in the internet at large. I wrote a larger thing there if you are interested.

Yet, part of the reason why this type of thing is passing over there is that they moved towards abolishing the concept of national sovereignty =/. It is a real catch-22.

Yeah, if this is true, I can't say any of this surprises me.

Well, the only difference is they would have to go country by country with the same bill. But I've seen very little suggesting that wouldn't work, and people outside those countries would still be politically powerless to help the people in them. :/

Thanks for helping to spread this around, FOME.

And don't worry. If it turns out it's all fake or it's all a hoax, I'll be the chicken little. I'll be the one with an egg on my face and a crow in my mouth.

Honestly, though, I'd rather it all be fake or a hoax and just take the embarrassment. Frankly that'd be better than it turning out to be a reality.

Well, this is definitely worrying if it's true. Hopefully not! I really don't want this site to die.

Does it matter if I download stories as a .txt or a .epub?

And so we will finally have achieved the dream of every cratic system: absolutely nowhere left to run to.
