Trump is proving once and for all that so long as he doesn’t get punished for it, everything he does is legal.

I’ve met some cis women who exclusively shop in the men’s department because the clothes are cheaper and sized sanely.

They don’t care that their buttons are “on the wrong side” so long as they have pockets.

I actually think the expected reality is worse:

The family will likely settle out of court. MongoDB will admit to no wrongdoing and the settlement will be sealed and there will be an NDA signed by the family, essentially making it impossible for future employees to get the help they need.

If the family really, really cares about their daughter’s legacy, they need to hold out until MongoDB is willing to admit to wrongdoing, even if it means they don’t see a penny.

Our education system values rote memorization over actually learning something. So instead of teaching you how to use the periodic table, they teach you “The element of Hydrogen has an atomic mass of 1” etc.

A few teachers who actually give a fuck will do both, but they are required to teach the test for funding. Because that’s how they are graded.

I’m sorry, but it’s not going to be. Mozilla set the stage of this when they changed from FOSS to source available.

I made this prediction right when this was announced.

Reverse engineering prohibitions are the dumbest things.

Let’s say I do this. Arduino sues me. Okay. Now what? What money are they going to take?

Hell, this would be a perfect time for everyone to form an LLC and purchase Arduinos as the LLC and then release your research under your corporate name as CC0. If your LLC has no revenue, you as an individual are legally protected.

Arduino can try to put the genie back in the bottle but good luck.

Better companies than Arduino have tried to prevent hardware reverse engineering and have failed. Apple being the biggest company I can think of that have tried to sue people for releasing schematics of their motherboards.

It is not lost in them. The intention is to equate their “facts” with actual reality.

And they are succeeding.

Yeah so bad news. The government has routinely purchased data like this as an end run around the 4th Amendment. The data is collected by a third party, often with the customers “consent”.

This is why we need stricter privacy controls around our data. The fact that this data was collated in the first place is problematic. The fact that it’s being sold for profit is abhorrent.

My parents are immigrants and didn’t have the best understanding of vaccine schedules.

I ask my doc at my last physical to check my measles antibodies.

My parents did good

Brother used to be the go-to but there was a post a week or so ago showing how they are starting to hold laser toner hostage.

I replaced my HP inkjet with a Brother laser a little over a year ago and seems to be going okay. Though I’m hesitant to let it update firmware.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

There is a saying that reality and facts have a liberal bias. When Nixon was in the process of being impeached, conservatives found that if they can control the narrative, the facts, then they can control the conversation. It’s no accident that they went to attack the fairness doctrine and it finally fell under Reagan.

It may have had a right wing bias, but they are the ones that got rid of it because they wanted to protect their echo chamber

Despite what he said, he didn’t vote for Trump for the economy.

He voted for Trump because he was racist. So unless he suddenly became unracist, he will vote Republican again and blame a darker skinned person for the failure of his shoe business.

You know for fuck sure this guy is going to vote Republican in the midterms and then do another insurrection to make sure Trump is “elected” in 2028.

This is what happens when you remove the fairness doctrine and allow the alt-right propaganda “news” machine go unchecked.

Anyone who says they’ll run the government as a business will fail at doing both.

Literally watching this on my sick day. Previous seasons haven’t aged well but season 8…holy fuck

He already has. The number of people he has deported kidnapped alone is enough to try him at the Hague.
