  1. CW: OpenSim seems to be afraid of Mississippi and UK age verification laws, but it's completely unafraid of the DMCA; CW: long (over 1,800 characters), UK politics (UKpol), US politics (USpol), Mississippi politics (MSpol)
    Looks like OpenSim users are getting increasingly anxious that e.g. Mississippi and UK law enforcement will shut down every last OpenSim grid on the grounds of their age verification laws, what with none of them having verified the real-life age of all their users. Even if a grid runs in Kazakhstan under a Russian domain with a Kazakh and Russian admin team.

    "This will so totally happen!"

    The self-same people, however, appear not to be afraid at all that Linden Lab and Second Life content creators will shut down any OpenSim grid on the grounds of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, what with almost all of them blistering with stolen Second Life content. Not even if a grid runs in the USA under a US domain with an all-American admin team.

    "This will so totally never happen!"

    Pray tell, why should the former wipe OpenSim out in no time while the latter hasn't even happened to one measly OpenSim grid in over ten years of copybotting tons of expensive premium luxury content in Second Life and offering it in OpenSim as full-perm freebies? Not even after these announcements by Linden Lab themselves from early this year?

    Oh, and OpenSim cannot survive without selling the most private personal data of every last one of its users to some big, commercial, corporate age-verification service? But at the same time, OpenSim cannot survive either without breaking international copyright and intellectual property laws left and right?

    Oh, and by the way: The most that Mississippi and the UK can do against a grid is try to fine it. The most that Linden Lab can do against a grid is Cease & Desist it out of existence.

  6. Another great, in-depth report from Capital B News. This one's about the water system in Jackson, Mississippi, which, after two years of fighting between residents, Jackson officials, and state officials, is still in a state of disrepair, spitting contaminated, often tea-colored water out of residents' taps. Capital B reporters unearthed evidence that the EPA failed to act on its own reports about Jackson's water quality, thereby leaving a large amount of federal money, which could have been used to prevent the crisis, unspent.

    You know, if Mississippi insists on wasting its money on Confederate Heritage Month, then maybe the public should just flood the zone in Mississippi with things like the list of names of people the Confederacy murdered in its insane crusade to continue treating human beings as livestock. And reams of photos of the devices slaves were made to wear, like the heavy iron collars with spikes. Or perhaps photos of people being worked to death for substandard textiles. Maybe publicly display the brutal devices used to subjugate literal children. Remind people they tried to get the British to help them destroy the Union. It failed, but they did try.

    Also, I absolutely love that they chose April, the month in which R.E. Lee surrendered to US Grant. Because, if they want to "celebrate" that "heritage," then at least they can celebrate the end result of all that murderous treason and immoral slave mongering. The total destruction of the confederacy.
