Recording a podcast in the Academic Council Hall and discussing Facebook as a quasi-jurisdiction with young law students is extremely exciting!

"Let me down" by Oliver Tree feat. blink-182 is banal... but so perfect! Sometimes I don't need extraordinary things, but just something that makes me feel good.

I was surprised that a head of a lilac sprout appears from a seed, because usually a seed stays underground. Sometimes I thought my lilac is just a bit queer... but now I see all lilacs are the same. The lilac deserves someone who knows more about #plants.

Fun fact: I saw the second seed tryed to sprout, but it seems like it looked around and thought: "Oh, no" and burrowed again.

Yesterday I tested Tales form the Loop #RPG. Actually that was my first time of being a gamemaster. It was awkward, but I dealt with it.

Well, Tales from the Loop is a quite pretty game to fun with friends. Characters are easy to create, the gameplay is simple to learn, the sci-fi narrative is fascinating, and players have a lot of opportunities to express their characters and take a significant part in an adventure. I like it and will enjoy to try one more one-shot :)

As much as this is obvious for me, as a lawyer of continental law, that law texts are not protected by copyright, as much this strikes me that in The Commonwealth the laws are protected by Crown and Parliamentary copyright and may be freely used under the Open Government License.

Punk pancake cake!

I'm an inventor. Particularly, I've invented a new #organizing system of my #smartphone desktop. There are 3 groups of apps:
1. The #apps I use often and regularly are on the main (central) screen.
2. The apps I use sometimes but not often are grouped in folders on the left screen.
3. And the apps I use not regularly but sometimes need them to launch quickly are on the right screen.
You're welcome to use this brilliant method freely. Don't bless me.

This week I understood why so many people hate lawyers. As a lawyer, I always prepare to the worst and insist on a lot of formalities to prevent it. Because I know that will help in case of problems. These moments make people furious: why not be more hearted?
Well, I'm just have some very sad professional experience and try to keep my friends out of troubles 🤷

Many Russian #twitter users are migrating to #Mastodon due to half-blocking of Twitter by Russian censorship authority.

It's sad that people need #censorship to choose something that is more ethical and just better.

Anyway, I'm glad to see new nice people in Fediverse!

Imagine Alice providing some nice product or a piece of art under a #copyleft license. What if Bob violates the license and uploads a derivative of the product to #blockchain without following license requirements? And perhaps next derivatives will be too far from the original to be determined as its derivatives, so evil plan of Bob to destroy a thread of free derivatives is successful.
How to force Bob to remove his infringing derivative from blockchain?

I've spent a few minutes to compress images on my website and now the entire size is reduced by 33%.
