fooster··on Microsoft sued for open-source piracy through GitHub Copilot
That is absolutely not my experience at all and wish people would stop with the hysterical hyperbole. The tool typically produces code that would only make sense in my codebase because it uses internal types which only make sense in my code base. That is not and cannot be copyright infringement.

Now you tell me what provincial legislation should have been interfered with at federal government with respect to mandates and lockdowns.
fooster··on The truckers shutting down Canada's capital
Authoritarian rule? Firstly mostly they’re arguing about provincial legislation to the federal government. Secondly vaccinations are already mandatory in most provinces to attend school and for most health care jobs. Stop with the hyperbole.
fooster··on The truckers shutting down Canada's capital
The purpose? To say they’re sick of Covid and the US government should stop requiring vaccines. Oh and to blame the federal government for provincial legislation. These people are antivax anti science antisocial idiots.
