How old is “old” for this purpose?

Who is “he”? I think they might mean Donald Trump, who AFAIK is a resident of Florida?

It seems pretty unreasonable to me that laws like that exist in the first place, so my answer to the question how trans people should be counted for such purposes is “neither because such laws shouldn’t exist”.

Federal government in the UK? The UK isn’t a federation, so doesn’t have a federal government.

True in general, but there’s no reason why voting should be one of those things.

Yes, let’s start with people calling for censorship, like you.

(You certainly have a high opinion of the thing you’re posting on.)

Any info what the “insults” consisted of?

the enemy is both weak and strong

Everything written about this conflict (by anyone) is propaganda. The enemy is a powerful and maximally oppressive force we all need to fear, but is also so weak it’s losing equipment fast and its final defeat is only a matter of time.

A gnome obviously

Do we have “circlejerk” or “shitposting” communities here on Lemmy already?

Without having listened to the other song (I know “Levitating” obviously)… this is definitely a good thing. There is only a limited amount of melodies that are possible to make and if “derivative work” is interpreted very broadly, at some point there won’t be any way to make new songs.

Different pieces of legislation. This was about the French legislature voting against a national anti-encryption bill. Chat control is an EU-level bill and the French legislature isn’t really involved in that, only the French government and France’s EU representatives.

Not so in Austria. Only Haftpflichtversicherung is required which only covers the car owner’s liability.

some of them maybe? surely not all?

These settings don’t do what you want?

Can you give some links what these “pieces of anti-trans legislation” were going to do? Not familiar with that yet.

I don’t think Trump knows very much about anything he’s doing, whether this or anything else.

(Incidentally, this also means I don’t think he’s doing most of the bad things he’s doing out of malice or dictatorial ambitions. He just has no idea about anything he’s doing.)
