ALL digital IP licensing of any kind is dead in the water until we have better methods to monitor and regulate AI crawl bots. Cloudflare offer hope in the future, instead of the ridiculous 'fair use' approach currently advocated.
CC licences have zero meaning atm, bots (and their owners) dont care what icons you have on your website. PERHAPS machine readable opt out (eg metadata or htaccess) might make some difference.

A month after news surfaced about the RCMP investigating Canadians who might have committed war crimes in Gaza, genocide supporters continue to be stirred over the matter.
Imagine the ability to cause panic and force the police’s hand if the NDP and others actually pushed to enforce Canadian law towards Israel.

When I left Twitter for Mastodon, so many people told me I was making a mistake and Mastodon was dead.
It was a difficult decision to switch because I had been on Twitter for 13 years, and I had accumulated over 16,000 followers.
But here we are, two and a half years later, and I am now followed by 17,000 here on Mastodon.
It is such an important milestone for me, because it proves that while the majority will often chose continuity over change, change often wins.
The future is federated!

And I love it!

Joy Metzler - A year ago, I was still writing my conscientious objector package to separate from the U.S. Air Force, because I was horrified by the atrocities being committed with U.S. tax dollars and military manhours.
Today, I am reflecting on my completion of a 40-day fast, Veterans & Allies Fast for Gaza. I ended my fast by being arrested for shutting down 2nd Avenue in front of the NYC Israeli Consulate.
