Michael Scott once quoted some guy that said “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”

You shot your shot. That’s the important thing.

Good for you!

When a democrat does it, it’s literally terrorism.

But when a Republican does it, it’s just a small, isolated incident and barely warrants a charge.

Just a lone wolf.

One time thing.

Never will happen again.

One bad apple.

How could we have known?

I wish there was the ability to recall federal representatives.

It obviously does not give anyone the right to assault the police. Nor was the January 6 riot an act of civil disobedience, because it was violent, not peaceful; opportunistic, not principled; coercive, not persuasive; and selfish, not patriotic.

Damn…no notes.

The guy represents himself and still managed to get just 7 years.

Idk…seems like he did alright.

It was in reference to the fact that Trump, while president, says he "met with the “President of the Virgin Islands”

Which, despite his press room’s spin, we all know he completely didn’t know that he was the president of the Virgin Islands.

Except me. Right? He totally promised to make me president of Puerto Rico.

Because I’m one of the good ones.

I’m the exception.

Right?

I’ll believe corporations are people when they kill one via lethal injection.

Sending an email is much much better than sending a literal hand written letter.

I had one opt out where you had to hand write the letter and envelope. Absolutely no way it was enforceable but didn’t want to risk it at the time.

I don’t think we need more licenses. OSS license proliferation is bad as it is. IMO, people should do their best to stick with the major licenses: GPL, AGPL, MIT, or Creative Commons if it doesn’t fit the above.

The problem with a tax that you’ve proposed is that it would be nearly impossible to enforce. How would you know which companies are pulling your library?

What I’ve been doing is adding the Commons Clause to my license and that I think helps. I don’t write wildly popular software so I don’t really see people donating or asking to purchase a license.

I personally like the Mozilla model where they donate to various open source projects from a common fund. I’d like to see more stuff like that.

It sort of is by license. Not directly but if you’re using one of the more restrictive licenses like GPL 3, it often doesn’t pass legal review due to many of the copy left provisions.

Most companies simply find a similar library that has a more permissive license. A handful will contact the dev and buy a license.

As much as the MIT license has made code more accessible, its permissiveness is the main reason I don’t use it for my own software, unless I really don’t care for it.

Best Buy is great when you need something right now. Like when a hard drive in your RAID dies and you need a hard drive right fucking now.

Buy yeah. I’ve only gone maybe once in the last five years.

My assumption is that it’s only $0.20 because the assumption is that the C-suite of whoever is selling the strawberries is expected to lower their profit margins.

And we know that’s never going to happen.

I always liked Barney Stimson’s advice on running a marathon.

Step 1: start running

Step 2: there is no step two

This! Some discomfort is to be expected but it shouldn’t hurt. It should be a good “pain” like it feels good afterwards not a “I really regret all the things” pain.

Hot damn good for you!

Keep us updated! I don’t think lemmy has a remindme bot but I’m saving this comment.

But they can’t just “restore” the property, it was full of mature native trees/plants and for bulldozed.

Oh God…tree law…I never realized how much I missed this.

As much as I’d like to believe that SCOTUS will honor separation between state and federal, I simply do not trust our current justices. I fully expect them to say, “Nah…it’s totes cool for Trump, and only Trump, to commit crimes.”

There was an encryption system a few years ago that offered this out of the box.

I can’t remember the name of it but there was a huge vulnerability and basically made the software unusable.

Crypt box or something like that.

Ope. I do have that backwards. Thanks!
