I don't think everyone always breaks the speed limit, but probably they do at some point during every journey. They knew this went they introduced the 20mph speed limit but they introduced it anyway because they thought it would reduce the average speed by a few mph.

This is old news.

The original purpose of the police was crime prevention. They should be out on the beat, not sitting in the office staring at screens. Having police wandering around deters crime.

People on Mastodon are complaining about people talking about twitter, and posting their complaints to the hashtag #twitter which is very odd, as they could filter it.

I expect there will be filters on Lemmy eventually.

I think there is a risk that Threads will be massive, and so people will think that the way to get on Mastodon is Threads, and eventually that Threads is Mastodon. C/f Google Groups and Usenet.

The EU is a corrupt totalitarian regime run by banks for their own benefit. The reason we have private finance initiatives which force public services to pay high interest rates is because of EU laws preventing borrowing from central banks.

Why doesn't the EU stop doing protectionism and reform itself?

You can see what the problem is every time you see the EU cookie notice.

I remember it filling groups with non-text posts which could not be read by Usenet clients, among other things.
