The myth goes deeper.
The story of Lisa Holst originating this myth as a spoof fact is also a myth.
Neither the supposed journalists, Lisa Holst, nor the magazine, PC Professional, exist.
The hunt is on for the earliest reference. Probably on a newsnet group.
I used to do it a lot.
Typically this would be responding to someone being provocative.
I decided that they were angry people just trying to make other people angry.
So now I write articles mocking them.
I am much more relaxed now.
Having tools in matching colours is definitely a sign of youth.
As you get older and lose some, lend some (and the a-hole doesn't return them - yes I'm talking about you John Pinder) then you get some replacements that don't match. Eventually after many years you have an eclectic mix.
How are you on collecting random nuts and screws that might just come in handy one day? That is the true art of the cave.

Poor Dolly Parton.
She help fund a vaccine and no one is banging on about her vaccine causing you to get a large blonde hairdo (we all know it's a wig), and large breasts.

The only danger they pose is to themselves and the witless.
Having said that, they can be really boring and monotonous. Their arguments are gormless at best, and don't have the intelligence to know when their vacuous arguments have been shot between the water line.
Will they learn anything. Nope. They are immune to intelligence (see what I did there?).
What scraping can get is very little public information.
There's a lot of information that servers keep contained such as IP addresses of where you are when you made a post. Other info such as your email address remains contained within your own instance. Meta cannot get at that information. No other Fediverse server can get at that.
This blog from Gargoron (Eugen Rochko) who essentially created ActivityPub that underpin all these Fediverse systems including Mastodon, Calckey, Pixelfed, kbin, Lemmy etc.

Waiting for the day when YouTube annoy lots of users and the same discussion happens about Peertube.
This was a mistake in the bill which he retracted, amended and resubmitted.
The first cousins are safe, legally anyway.
What I don't get is I assume they had a law so why was this needed?
