@afewbugs also Oatly losing a court case around the use of the word ‘milk’ recently, because it might be confusing.
Soy milk has been common for decades, anyone who’s confused by the concept has only themselves to blame.
@benjamineskola @afewbugs honestly. Courts assuming everyone is an uneducated twit. What about 'meat'? The contents of a nut shell is the nutmeat https://www.dictionary.com/browse/nutmeat

@benjamineskola @afewbugs maybe nut milk sellers should deliberately name the product 'nutmeat juice' out of spite

@benjamineskola @afewbugs is coconut water actually water?

@benjamineskola @afewbugs they're not confused, they're deliberately 'getting hold of the wrong end of the stick'.

@capnthommo @afewbugs I say ‘confused’ because that’s the explicit reasoning given by the court, not because I necessarily believe that anyone is genuinely confused.
(It was a trademark case, so presumably the concern is whether someone might accidentally pick up Oatly thinking it came from a cow. 🤷)

Food firms urge Europe not to ban calling non-meat products ‘sausages’
"A ban would mean, for example, bean burgers sold in Europe having to be relabelled as “patties” or “discs”, while the Welsh breakfast staple Glamorgan sausages – made of cheese and leeks – would probably become Glamorgan “tubes”."
@afewbugs there is already a relaxation around chocolate because most of the chocolate bars sold in the UK should be called sugar bars with chocolate flavour because the majority ingredient is sugar.
When the UK joined the EU, they relaxed the regulations to allow UK chocolate bars to continue to be sold under that name -
@Nickiquote @afewbugs There is now a record on a server somewhere indicating that I typed “EU law penis” into a search engine.
@BenCotterill @afewbugs As Beck nearly sang: “I wanna defy the logic of EU dick laws”

@BenCotterill @afewbugs No, Beck was out there saying things that would not be so fondly welcomed post-Epstein.

Needless to say the threshold for 'milk chocolate' in the UK is already ridiculously low.
At least they haven't (yet) resorted to adding vomit flavour to them like American Hershey bars.

@evan To be clear, is 'it' in the above always the local browser as opposed to the server a.example (proxy-requesting on the unauthenticated user's behalf).

@eniko wait is this something you folks are designing or did somebody just made unofficial apparel?

@chillicampari @evan
That was my concern exactly (I voted "yes, but"):
e.g followers-only content shouldn't be public just because a follower's instance has access to it. In a perfect world this would have been end to end encrypted.

@evansky_arts Looks fun to me. The more abstract the more the creative juices flow.

@badsamurai @da_667 @GossiTheDog Hey, as somebody writing a CTF, it's handy to get randomly introduced vulnerabilities!

@GossiTheDog can you please post this also over on LinkedIn for all of the corporate people and CEOs to see?
We can't highlight how much of a liability generator all of this is...
