Did Trump find an infinite money hack?

Step 1: Become president

Step 2: As a private citizen, sue the government for billions of dollars

Step 3: As president, order to settle lawsuit.

Literally nothing our courts can do about it.

Should be 47.

There is a “Commons Clause” that people can add but there is some controversy as to whether adding this clause is enforceable. It very much would violate the strict definition of “FOSS”.

That said, I very much am against corporations that make full use of FOSS without contributing anything meaningful in return. I personally believe companies that make over $1M in revenue should absolutely donate something to the FOSS products they use.

Not only that but developers need to stop using permissive licenses like MIT or CC0. Moving to something like GPL3 (and specifically version 3) would go a long way for companies to stop treating open source as a well they can exploit.

Or they see a bunch of billable hours and mistakenly think that he’ll pay.

Or smartly will demand that he pays a fat retainer.

Bare in mind that the government requires a warrant to obtain data against you, the barrier in which to get a warrant requires probable cause.

Obtaining data about you from a company only requires a subpoena if the company doesn’t cooperate.

BUYING data about you from the same company is completely allowed.

Until we get privacy laws, we are truly fucked.

They answer this in the movie. Humans aren’t born. They are grown.

So probably artificial insemination.

If you all haven’t already, the next few days is a great time to rebalance your retirement accounts. Stop investing in US federal bonds and focus on international mutual funds and (if available) state and local mutual funds.

I rebalanced last year and my IRA is doing fantastic. (Not today but overall)

I wanted to like lawn chair and gave them an honest try but so many features I have come to rely on weren’t quite there.

I realize that they were designed as a replacement of pixel’s launcher but still… I would have loved to keep using them.

I am now using a paid version of Smart Launcher and praying to God that they won’t do what Nova did.

The issue with stuff like this is that it’s going to work like literacy tests that disenfranchised black voters.

Fascists will use them to be “alternative facts” and if you answer in any way that they don’t like, you’ll be bared from serving.

They’d rather have US citizens die than shame Trump.

“I’m so fucking pissed that you didn’t give me the Nobel Peace Prize that I’m going to go to war with you to teach you a lesson.”

There are communities across the US where citizens are requesting data centers. These forums are open to the public and often recorded. You can do a simple search and find countless articles and then from there find minutes and voting records.

I would start there

“Do Not Split”

Learned about it from this episode of the Team Human podcast

But what is happening in Hong Kong is they come up with a slogan, which is translated as Do Not Split, which is, we know that some people are willing to be confrontational with riot police.

And when they are, that’s going to cost the state in terms of not only resources, but it’s going to cost the state in terms of political capital and support. And we know that there are some people who are not willing to do that. And we are going to abide by the protocol of Do Not Split, which means that we’re not going to criticize them openly, and they’re not going to criticize us openly.

If we’re the pacifists, we’re not going to have them criticize us for being sort of like, I don’t know, limpid or flaccid or not courageous or whatever. And we’re not going to criticize them for being more confrontational. And the thing is that the support is also tacit.

It’s not like they have to come out and tell the media, oh, we approve of our more sort of confrontational colleagues. They just keep quiet. They just keep quiet.

Understanding that a range of tactics is probably going to be necessary. Nobody really knows what’s going to work. But if everybody’s pushing back against a particularly violent state, then everybody’s really on the same side.

As we push more average Windows users to Linux, we need to be prepared for these users to download and run completely untrusted code.

I’d love to see a combo map of literacy and who the county voted for in the last presidential election by county.

I mean, I know how it’s going to read but still.

She’s still a bad billionaire. The only way she stops being a bad billionaire is to stop being a billionaire.

Yes, they are using a similar model to Microsoft and open sourcing Firefox code under the MPL while distributing the executable under a new Terms of Service.

Firefox (the executable) is no longer considered FOSS since they can revoke your license at anytime. I posted a comment that details my personal view of this change.

TL;DR: they would have only done this if they planned on farming user data. And last month announced that they intend to do just that.

I mean…Firefox has gone from open source to source available. Other alternatives exist for Firefox that still hold the user as the customer and not as the product.

I personally use Waterfox.

Finish cops probably don’t have qualified immunity.
