It all comes down to selective enforcement by the not-actual-real-judges at the SEC. You have to go through their kangaroo court with an ALJ, and arger likely getting a judgement against you, can you actually go to a real court. And this is

Again, not a real court. And no jury, and basically a fake judge.

There are people here (venture crapitalists) that would love to disassemble all public libraries for something much more horrible. It was likely one them, or their lackeys, that -1'ed you.

The real "Boss" is Nintendo, being against emulation and archival.. and intentionally throwing away all of these user created levels. And that boss, in Mario fashion, needs to be butt-stomped.

I dont know who "Dan" is, and don't care. This article is just a re-hash of last week's news, and a selling point to their software. This is spam.

No, humans aren't that illogical. It's that layers upon layers of obfuscation are used to hide the terrible facts. There's even terms to describe this, such as "how the sausage is made".

You used to be able to, with tools like Trillian and Gaim. Not any more, at least for any semi-popular chat. The throwaway and no-names? Yeah you can, well until IF they get big. And well, they won't.

From your response, its the exact right license. The GPL was meant to be viral, and require contributions if you change it. GPL@ didnt understand that would be a thing. GPL3 also had the Affero, to deal with parasite companies, like what yo

Its a pity more FLOSS software isnt AGPL. That would keep shit companies like Amazon from plundering and never providing back.

Republicans want to cut funding to programs, then point at how bad the underfunded program is doing, thus demanding more cuts. Either the result is the department is killed, or is on a shoestring budget and everyone hates them. Many were we

So you actual critique over the chart provided and the claims made therein, rather than your ad hominem? I don't care who it was. Are the claims verifiable, and are the derived claims defensible?

You can get rough areas with a GPS and a RTLSDR and a bunch of samples (either over time OR with lots of people with the same device) But to get fine granular data, you need a timestamping SDR. (each parcel of signal data for a quantum of d

Threatening to "go kill ni**ers for a high score" is likely illegal. That shits on /pol/ right now, and is the root of supporting extremism to the point of violence and murder. And last I checked, making death threats is

So there definitely IS algorimithic removers and such. The difference is that posts don't even make it past the gate if they get blocked. And certain content is also ban-worthy. Again, they very much do censor stuff. You just don'

After reading on /pol/ horrible takes on Jewish slurs, and horrible takes on BiPOC folk, and horrible takes on homosexuals.... And it's the 1st post... Yeah that's going to end badly.

What's funny is most radio stations use pirate services to get music... And it's completely legal. They can count how many people listened to each pay, and send payment per estimated listeners, and it's legal. I can also buy

This garage door work is comparable to working on a vehicle suspension. Similar springs, similar preloading force, etc. And similar threat of death if you fuck up or do something stupid. Nothing wrong with doing things yourself, but make su

Ah, more badly supported gongkai cramware, using the cheapest and hardest to obtain drivers for anything. Everything is out-of-kernel, and you're making custom kernels IF YOU CAN TRANSLATE CHINESE... And hope its made for your kernel v

If you cant comment on a post, it's not a post but a shitty ad. Tells me that VCs are afraid of actual criticism, and 'no comment ad-posts' are their version of a safe space.... for critiques.

Put it in a Uhaul box for a day in summer heavy sun. It already hits 160f / 71c routinely in summer in a closed vehicle. Ive done that when getting old wood furniture from facebook. We bake it for a day or 2 in a closed trailer. If the

The real answer here is REMOVING the DMCA on criminalizing reverse engineering and DRM. If its your property, you should legally speaking tell any OTHER company to rightly fuck off about restrictions on your property. Intellectual property

Well, yeah. A real punishment would be destroying their business, returning money illegally gotten to individuals profited on, and opening up criminal proceedings on cartel and monopolization. But no, here's your slap on the wrist. And

And that's not explicitly stated. Had the same "problem" too. I would expect better from an adtech/software firm.

Basically, a bunch of insecure ass-backward Abrahamic followers taking a badly translated saying to the extreme. Even Sodom was about raping angels, who appears as children. Note that rape is definitely not consensual sex.

China bad whirrrrrrrrr. If con-gress was serious, theyd ban/restrict any social media that relied on tracking. Or better yet, they'd pass a bill restricting data brokers of any sort ala GDPR. Nope. China bad. USA good!
