Just so you know I was offended at the use of the term kidnapping from the article but for different reasons.

I guess I'm lucky enough to only have had providers where it would take 0-3 hours to create a new eSIM profile. Compared to 3-7 days for a new SIM.

As the other comment said it's either airport wifi, prep beforehand, roaming data (if absolutely necessary), or (last resort) you go to a physical phone store usually in an airport and they will set it up for you. I can download T-Mobi

Totally different experience. Especially when traveling for work, being able to just show up in a country, download an app, and have a working local number within minutes is fantastic. I have 6 eSIMs on my iPhone, two are active. No stuffin

Why is DB worse than other operators of similar legal structure and funding, in terms of free markets and democracy, from your perspective?

If you want to continue the analogy via consequences, it's not a defense to kidnapping to say you let them go at the end.

I'm not asking the bus driver to stop in the middle of a highway. I'm asking the bus driver not to go past 15 actual bus stops before letting me off. With the drivers rationale being - "This bus is not registered at any of th

I won't give you a new hypothetical, just complete the comparison. It's true an EMS call might reduce QALY (quality adjusted life years). It's also true that taking a train full of passengers somewhere they don't want to

The ad absurdum of this situation would be DB escalating it into a full on hijacking scenario where they run the train in a loop, forever claiming the train cannot ever stop. In that situation - you do what is necessary to stop the train, b

I'm abusing one government department due to suffering abuse from another. If that causes a different kind of staffing shortage - that's something I don't have control over, but has the same root cause as the DB incompetence.

What if I get 10 people off the train for one EMS call. What about 100? If you bring an absolute like that to a philosophical argument you're backing yourself into a corner.

I'm sorry for the second reply but the "hyperbolic rhetorical narrative device" - is a literal comparison to kidnapping. That is what the text says. I struggle to see how it would be the opposite, they're not comparing i

I don't defend the situation as "good". I can agree on it being bad, but the whole situation is bad. The premise here is kidnapping - I don't think using emergency services in a kidnapping is out of the question.

Why is my time less valuable than an ambulance or doctor? You have to make a lot of assumptions and normative judgements for that to be true, which I reject. Morally DB (through the driver) is the one lying and saying things like "cann

It's not a fake emergency. Acute anxiety causes the same thing. That's for a hospital to decide, not a train company.

by abigail95 10mo ago
I don't tolerate this kind of thing. If you find yourself in a similar situation and want out - call emergency services, say chest pain, out of breath, and where you are. You may find the train has now "registered" itself at

I'm sorry you didn't get a response yet. I'm not a lawyer and have no legal training but it seems to boil down to this: It's part of the debate of whether (1) GPL is a contract, (2) GPL can be enforced by non-parties, (3

Thank you, I should have provided that myself and been more courteous in my response.

This will probably dox me but I'm going to win a federal discrimination case against a university, with nothing but GPT5.x and Claude, and some filing fees. I'm no dummy but I'm not a genius. I barely got through the Advent o

And now we get to my question of why . They want the Linux source code, the company is not giving it to them, why is the next step a blog post instead of a lawsuit? Again this is a medical device - it's important enough to spend the

No the license does not hold! Fair use exists independently of the GPL license. Using GPL software does not take away your rights under the law. As much as the angry FSF lawyers want you to believe - I can use any GPL software in any way I

> That is a gratuitous assumption. My experience is, as long as there is the smallest custom hardware, you will have to make some tweaks here and there. How sure are you small tweaks create a derivative work? In your experience.

Offer and acceptance are part of how contracts are formed. There is no contract without there first being an offer. If you accept someones offer, provided it meets the rest of the criteria for a valid contract - congratulations you now have

You've gone off the rails by narrowly focusing on a passage of a software license without understanding the contract law and copyright law environments that those licenses and transactions exist in. If you file a statement of claim to

Completely depends on how much you've "mixed in", and facts specific to that individual work. Fair use doesn't get thrown out the window because GPL authors have a certain worldview. Second, there are a lot of non-copyri

What's their basis for sending the emails then? If not one of legal standing in copyright/contract law? Edit: My point is this is just another one of many annoying people you have to deal with who will email you alleging all sorts

Galoob is terrible for the FSF because it provides for a program that only exists to enhance another. That doesn't fit into the dynamic linking absolutists worldview at all.

by abigail95 10mo ago
Then why are they trying to enforce copyright/contract law without standing? Making a blog post about someone elses copyright being violated is even more annoying to me.

Use the CCB then? Edit: I'm somewhat mad that there's all these tools out there to solve the screeching about GPL violations and nobody seems to want to use them.
