Dandelion & Burdock is still a popular soft drink in the UK as well.

I'm not missing the point. This is normal, it happens all the time. Look at video games with music licenses, or licenses for car brands for instance.

>We do. Exactly. So what's the issue with people who don't drive also contributing to road infrastructure? Yes, a lot of the cost is bundled into taxes. But that isn't unique to roads & cars, that happens everywhere. A

Yes, in a city. In a city everybody should be taking public transport. The vast majority of roads are not in cities, though.

by bearmode 3y ago
You forget that the vast majority of taxpayers are those same road users. Even those who don't drive likely still get lifts off of other people. They're not a separate entity. They already are paying for that infrastructure. And t

My car can take me from my front door to anywhere else in the country that I want to. Often cheaper and/or faster than public transport can in the UK, as well. My family live a 30 minute drive away, however there are no buses that go d

It's just the nature of software license agreements. You say that they used third party shit that they should not have, but why should they not have? The inclusion of Pantone swatches in Adobe products was of huge benefit to users, and

Why? Adobe products have historically always been incredibly easy to pirate. It was almost an implicit part of their business model back in the day - get the kids and amateurs learning on pirated versions of their software, and when they ta

GIMP is atrocious.

>“Please be aware that should you continue to use the discontinued version(s), you may be at risk of potential claims of infringement by third parties.” So Adobe was never planning on suing anybody, but any third-party license agreements

They did indeed do a lot of very real journalism. Something most outlets just don't do anymore. It's a huge shame.

God what a shame, they put out some really damn good journalism.

Really? I don't have a comp sci degree either, and yet I find the Laravel docs incredibly easy to grok. Do you have any specific examples of things you've struggled to understand?

They literally introduced new laws to curb protests a few weeks ago. That law is what they used to arrest peaceful protestors.

And yet, this happens literally every day. Many individual officers, if not entire forces, have effectively stopped enforcing marijuana posession laws. If that happens, why not refuse to enforce fascist anti-protest laws?

The Met can choose not to enforce fascist laws if they want to.

So you'd take the constant threat of bankruptcy, homelessness, and starvation over being middle class, then?
49.
by bearmode 3y ago
Sorry mate but no, the worst class of all are those facing homelessness every month and forgoing meals because they simply can't afford food.

But why is it more fair to punish someone more because they're poor? Matching the fine to income/wealth is the best way to ensure the impact to the recipient of the fine is similar, regardless of personal wealth. A poor repeat off

It's obviously corporate profits, and it's obviously always been corporate profits.

Anti-competitive behaviour runs deep in Microsoft. They've been doing it since their early days.

There are also sane plate laws in the UK, and plates are tied to a specific vehicle make/model, and the plates are larger, more visible, and far easier for automated systems to read.

Because a lot of parents are really not well off. Buying laptops, ipads, whatever is an expense they just can't afford. Pens, notebooks etc are cheap.

Touchscreens are great for controlling my maps, and my music. For the love of fuck, don't control anything else with them.

Some of the best photos I've taken in my ~12 years as a hobbyist photographer have been less than 30 minutes from home. Despite all the holidays I've been on.
