Reasonable people can disagree on whether retroactively enforcing a very broadly written legalistic TOS is sufficiently similar to editing a newspaper to qualify as editorial control (no sarcasm). My point was to the question (paraphrasing)

Well put, thanks! Interesting.

Notmuch is fully command line, there are any number of traditional cli commands, it’s a suite ala git but not a tui or anything: https://notmuchmail.org/doc/latest/ See for example notmuch-search and notmuch-tag.

I appreciate the answer. Interesting. My read on that section was that it was all around specifically the request for immediate preliminary relief (to stay the state law basically?) — this was from section IV right? - and in that section th

I think it’s likely OP made an honest mistake of some sort (as opposed to an intentional deception) but I do wish he’d correct it. It was a pretty broad and dismissive statement and personally maligning the judges involved in decisions we d

Correction: Jones was concurring and Southwick was the dissent. I can’t find any evidence of how ABA ruled on Jones’ qualifications back in 1985 but it’s clear Oldham who wrote the opinion that appears first was never found “unqualified.” I

What do you think the most convincing part of that techdirt piece is? To me it mostly reads like an exasperated emotional rant. He calls the ruling “stupid” and “batshit crazy” and likens the judges to “ignorant trolls.” And uses italics ev

What about the “Net Centers” in Guatemala? Don’t they use platforms like Twitter to actually harass/silence dissidents? Obviously social media isnt everything, but Morales and his backers sure showed how important it is. Or do you dis

Touché! But the bit I quoted is something of a non sequitur as this case, like PruneYard, concerns a state law extending additional speech protections into the private sector, so PruneYard does seem relevant, as PruneYard affirmed a state’s

> Of course the judges in question were rated unqualified by the ABA (which is a really low bar) so not surprising. Not true. The first of the two judges who concurred on this opinion, Andrew Oldham, was unanimously rated “well qualified

> How the 1st Amendment might protect a corporation's religious POV but not its exercise of editorial control is a very good question I don’t think this court buys the idea that the platforms exercise editorial control. For example:

Correct. The F-16, dating to the mid 1970s, was the pioneer here and was incredibly maneuverable as a result (certainly for its era but probably for today as well).

Macros are special in the sense that they are expressly intended to modify code. I take your implied point that at runtime there is not really a difference between a function designed to rewrite code data structures and evaluate them vs cal

If you can compile code at runtime, then how are you not able to use macros at runtime via the same facility? Macros are just functions that operate on the data structures that define function calls prior to those calls being executed, symb

It’s interesting to me that this story does not try to argue that vaccines and boosters inhibit infection or transmission. At one point this was a key benefit claimed by health authorities and the news media. I think it would be more credib
