@ScottLang @TonyStark The Uk is on la lockdown now, we have to stay home unless essential, food , medical, work a few other reasons, it then takes time for the covid case figures to catch up.
@swiley yeah, well hopefully it will encourage people to do that anyway.

Question from this, would removing Section 230 be a good thing ? What would be the implication for the Fediverse?
Would this mean that admins are just simply held more responsible / accountable for content, ?
Which then brings in to play, what would be the difference between self hosting and using a management service.
Would they need to ensure their terms of service hold account holders liable not the management company?
Sorry if that is quite a few questions.
@libreture as mentioned I have added a link to PM Press on my blog.

@ifixcoinops I have a stack of netbooks here I am trying to redistribute also sell for to raise a little bit of money
Install Debian or Raspberry PI Dssktop OS (which is Debian anyway) and even with IGB they are very useable despite being10 years old and having Atom Processors,
Every piece of electronics in your house has a cost, not just in currency but in blood. Often the blood of children. Sometimes the blood of slaves. Our appetite for cheap electronics subsidized by nightmarish misery and indignity is environmentally, financially and morally unsustainable, and it's shockingly easy to forget that. That's why I fix things, that's why I buy secondhand whenever I can, that's why I won't stop banging on about the evil idiocy of unleaded solder and planned obsolescence.
@kelena Good point However this could also link with, websites tellingme how long it takes to read somethingor the tendancy to use TL:DR whenit comes to instructions.
So not just one or two groups a lot of people just seem to expect immediate results of knowledge.
I am learning LaTeX it is taking years, but as I do new projects I learn more. Also studied OU courses lots of reading, note taking involved and the need to write, reference etc,
I do find I there are two groups of people though those who reply to things quickly those who don't and within the former a group that actually read and comprehend and anoher group that fail that.
Could be a deeper social problem. starting to manifest, not sure.
@kelena Not changed anything, Joe Biden only got Sworn in on Wednesday, is this also an indication of our desire to have instant results or am I missing something.
Interested in Technology, Science, Chemistry, Education, Fediverse, GNU/Linux and free software.
