GPLv3 is less proprietary than GPLv2, in the sense that it does a better job at protecting end-users from being abused by device makers that would try to close up their Linux-based system.

Imagine having such a hard-on for letting corporations exploit your work in abusive Tivoized products that you stoop to retaliation against a company that’s actually trying to protect their customers.

They know it’s better than v2.

Damn, if only ChatGPT had the same vulnerability as sci-fi AIs…

These tactics are not always a guarantee to have things go your way

You’re right that actually talking to your representatives works surprisingly often, but sometimes it really blatantly doesn’t.

I know this isn’t the first article on this topic posted here today, but it is the first that could be legitimately crossposted from !theonion@midwest.social. Can you really blame me?

What the actual fuck? Those are all taught way before 10th grade here in the US, even in my ass-backwards state.

All posts must be peer reviewed

There’s a joke in here about recruiting Lemmy expert shitposters to peer-review post drafts themselves (as opposed to the scientific paper they link to), but I need somebody to suggest better phrasing.

You should probably change it though, since it’s misleading. The article is talking about something Trump wants to do; the post title implies he already succeeded.

Yes.

Not only can people be pretty dumb sometimes, once the screenshot is on the Internet, who knows where it might get reposted, potentially without context.

You should censor the scam bitcoin address when you screenshot things like this.

I’m both used CAD software professionally to do engineering and developed CAD software professionally, and TBH I, too, find FreeCAD difficult to use.

(I haven’t tried the latest versions that are supposed to be better yet, though.)

It’s hardly going to help any to come out and announce that everything is fucked

Yes it fucking would! That kind of honest assessment of reality is exactly what millions of working-class people have been clamoring for from Democrats for years now and not fucking getting!

And by “millions,” I mean more than the margin of victory.

I mean, you say that, but even straight white guys often have wives and/or daughters.

Or maybe what media thinks their job is isn’t what you think it should be. Maybe the media is deliberately promoting fascism for profit, has become our enemy, and needs to be destroyed.

the court would probably start from the position that you are actually infringing a valid patent (it was granted after all)…because there is the assumption that every claim is made in good faith

In other words, one big aspect of patent reform needs to be fixing the patent office itself so that it hires patent examiners who are actually competent to evaluate the applications for prior art.
