How to replace 60% of Bootstrap:

body {
max-width: 1100px;
margin: 12px auto;
}

.thing {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns:
repeat(
auto-fill,
minmax(300px, 1fr)
);
grid-gap: 13px;
}

That should be a responsive 3 column layout on full screen. 2 Columns on smaller screens and 1 column on mobile

a website wouldn't let me change the gender marker on my account. every other field was updatable: title, first and last name, and suffix. gender appeared as a form field, but with no dropdown

I fixed this this by removing the 'editNone' CSS class, updating the field to the correct value, and submitting the form.

@micahflee @raucao incidentally, today @OCCRP published an article on just how that kind of lies get published, and by whom: https://www.occrp.org/en/spooksandspin/the-secret-players-behind-macedonias-fake-news-sites

The whole Spooks and Spin project is well worth a read: https://www.occrp.org/en/spooksandspin/

So #TBD is over. It was a much-needed recharge time. Thank you to #ADM for hosting us.

ADM is a pretty amazing squatted dock in Amsterdam. A haven for artsy wonderfolk and wondering artfolk:
https://adm.amsterdam/

ADM is in danger. Current owners of the area are working hard to end it. Please consider supporting ADM:
https://adm.amsterdam/petition

There are going to be analyses now. How the French MEPs by and large supported #Art11 and #Art13; how Wikipedia's black-out was a crucial push.

But we need to focus on the future. We need to put together a good Copyright Directive now, and get it voted in in September.

We will not fix everything. But there are things we can fix. And we will all be called upon again during this time to fix the things we can.

We can do it. The Internet has spoken, and it was hard to ignore.

#SaveYourInternet

@silkevicious thank you. That was not just me! Julia Reda was spearheading this, she was the main engine. Michał Boni (Polish MEP) was also deeply involved and pushing for the good outcome.

Reward them and their parties when voting next time.

The calling needs to continue. Additional group to focus on -- Portuguese S&D: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search.html?country=PT&politicalGroup=4280

More groups in the parent toot.

What they need to hear is:
- Copyright Directive's Articles 11 and 13 are a danger to the free Internet
- Copyright needs fixing, but this is not the way to go
- Please vote AGAINST THE MANDATE tomorrow.

Be polite. Say your name, and who you are. Be respectful.

And #SaveYourInternet from #Art11 #Art13! We can win this!

And this concludes our tour of Strasbourg and its labirynth of halls and procedures.

I am on the train back home. I would have stayed longer and worked on #Art11 #Art13 #saveyourinternet more, but could not. :/

This is not the end of the fight. The vote is way too close to call. Every MEP counts. I will be calling them from the train, I would even call them from the plane if it were an option.

Your calls are working. MEPs are changing their minds. I saw this first hand.

You have the power!

Please boos the parent toot. This is important. We need people to call their MEPs listed in the parent toot!

What they need to hear is:
- Copyright Directive's Articles 11 and 13 are a danger to the free Internet
- Copyright needs fixing, but this is not the way to go
- Please vote AGAINST THE MANDATE tomorrow.

Be polite. Say your name, and who you are. You will be talking to MEPs assistants, they are people doing their jobs. Be respectful.

And #SaveYourInternet from #Art11 #Art13!

THIS IS IMPORTANT!

We need people to call their MEPs. Most importantly:
- Romanian S&D:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search.html?country=RO&politicalGroup=4280
- Romanian EPP:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search.html?country=RO&politicalGroup=4269
- British S&D:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search.html?country=GB&politicalGroup=4280
- British ECR:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search.html?country=GB&politicalGroup=4271
- Italian S&D:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search.html?country=IT&politicalGroup=4280
- Polish EPP:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search.html?country=PL&politicalGroup=4269

Please report back (in a private message, preferably) what they say! This would help us a LOT!

#Art11 #Art13 #SaveYourInternet

On my way to a meeting with a few MEPs. Wish me luck.

These are mostly sympathethic to our cause, but perhaps need a few strong arguments. Hopefully, I can provide that.

People like Julia Reda could be fixing the underlying problems of copyright law in EU. I could be focusing on helping journalists stay safe and uncover corruption and organized crime.

Many other people could be spending their time way more productively.

Instead, we need to focus on this bullcrap so that people who can't even into Internets don't break our main creative outlet, communication channel, our main knowledge base.

Because Axel Springer told them to.

#Art11 #Art13 #SaveYourInternet

Another important take-away from my meetings already: calling MEPs is way more effective than e-mailing them.

E-mailing MEPs with a standard e-mail from a template can actually be counter-productive.

If you can, please *call* your MEPs. You can find your MEP here:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/map.html

If you'd rather e-mail, please write two-three paragraphs in your own words, from your e-mail address. Even if it's not as slick as the template, it will work way better!

#Art11 #Art13 #SaveYourInternet

I'm in Strasbourg, lobbying hard. Updates soon, but was able to talk to Axel Voss, the main guy behind the current (bad) versions of #Art11 and #Art13. Doing my best to #SaveYourInternet.

Lessons from today:
- Pro-Art11/Art13 MEPs do not know how copyright law works (no surprises there, the copyright law is a mess!)
- Wikimedia Commons is a very good example of a service that could suffer very much.
- As during #ACTA, MEPs are not entirely against sitting down and discussing the issues.

Writing an Ansible playbook to update my halo.

Really glad I got Ansible-over-SSH-over-Tor working.

Aaaaaannnnnnddddd.... I think it's working. Go me.
