it's only like everybody who isn't a rube who always falls for "think of the children" has been saying this since all these new proposals and laws started coming back

eric schmidt hasn't written code in several decades, i'm not sure why anyone should give anything he has to say on the topic any amount of weight

it will literally never do that.

This is why the materials from Fender keep trying to emphasize that the strat shape was an explicitly creative decision and not a functional one, because if it's primarily a functional design, they've got nothing (see how there's only so many ways to design a shovel, you can't sue someone for copying your shovel design)

suing US manufacturers who sell in the EU, because they can't sue someone for selling a strat shaped guitar in the US, the shape was declared public domain in the US twenty years ago

it's yet to be proven that they are right, the only thing they won in the german court is a default ruling because they picked a defendant who they knew wasn't going to show up so they could get a default ruling. The actual merits of the case have yet to be tried.

well, in the US, those shapes were ruled public domain.

in Germany, Fender recently won a default ruling because a chinese counterfeiter didn't even show up in court, and they're now using that to go after anyone selling in the EU, even though that's not really what that case win means. But private equity is going to private equity.

plex continues to prove their own irrelevancy

I don't think they banned it, they just reiterated their existing rules that only real humans can receive awards.

This guy didn't even look at what Apple sells before writing this. The normal ipad comes in fun colors, and while it doesn't cost $200 (that seems like an unattainable price point), it starts at $350.

that's because a ton of them are just off the shelf fonts they had someone make minor changes to

Wrong.

it remains quite telling that in the wake of world war 2, when the us military designed the postwar japanese government, they based it on the westminster strong parliament system and explicitly avoided the us strong president.

from the actual words said by the president???

That's somewhat ahistorical, the 17th amendment happened because state legislatures were frequently deadlocked and could not appoint senators, meaning states went without senate representation entirely.

In a fifteen year period 46 senate elections were deadlocked in 20 states, at one point Delaware had an open senate seat for four years due to this.

That said the proper reform to this would've been the abolition of the senate, as it has always been and will always be an anti-democratic force, not moving for senators to be elected by the people.

well, it's illegal to use jammers, so.

Don't discount how dumb nate silver is.

this website needs to be autoflagged it's always junk science

lol, lmao, author clearly does not understand what a tech writer (or any writer) actually does and how they're important.

wish they wouldn't

I would assume not because you can do the same thing using a CLI apple installs on all macs, sips

    sips -s format jpeg in.heic --out out.jpeg

also, a heic is just a container around an h265 image frame

the language in this is entirely smarmy ai boosterisms, all the anti ai arguments it uses are things no real person has ever said and no real person ever would.

love the immediate transphobia, really tells me exactly what you're all about

the author has shown himself not to be an ally in this piece.

misleading headline, kosa had nothing to do about child safety and everything to do with government censorship, anybody framing it as "child safety" is a rube falling for the oldest conservative christian play in the book.

january sixth was not the reichstag fire, it was the beer hall putsch

Is it inefficient? Possibly. But I would argue trying to get me to use an IDE and all of the other new fancy tools is more inefficient. My flow works for me, I can navigate through projects and find exactly what I'm looking for pretty quickly, to the point where people who watch me do it comment on how it just looks like a blaze of text to them. And I've found that trying to use IDEs and other tools doesn't make me more efficient, it just slows me down.

I want to be clear, I don't think my workflow is the best, most good, better than everyone else's. But it is mine, and it's the one I'm very proficient and productive with. Vim, tmux, and an assortment of command line tools isn't the right workflow for everybody, but I would argue I'm as, if not more, productive than most people I know using that latest fancy IDE tools.

> Why don't you use automation to help your job when the whole point of your job is automation?

Because I don't see that as automation, I see it as things getting in my way. My brain is set in its ways, and when I try to use tab completion or other nice editing things that people like I feel so slow, I feel like the computer is putting blockers in my way, because I know exactly the line I want to write, and popups and tab-complete break that flow for me.

All power to everyone who can handle that and prefer it, but it's not for me.

"that works"..... while not linking to something using the protocol, just linking to a tech spec.

i still can't believe this is a real product they were able to get companies to pay for

opentofu now's your time to shine (also pick a better name)
