Copyleft is a way of leveraging copyright against itself to ensure nobody else can make a proprietary version of the thing. It is not the same as Public Domain/lack of copyright.

Wait, does “POTUS totally fine with virus destroying cities full of people he doesn’t like” not count? 'Cause I’ve had that square on the board filled in for six years already.


That’s exactly why there’s a chance of it happening.


All LLM code output is now copyleft because there was GPL stuff in the training data, LOL!
(Actually it’s probably all just copyright infringement and not usable at all because of all the conflicting licenses, but a guy can dream…)


The states that are removing the gas tax going to see really terrible roads in the coming years because the funding mechanism went away.
Maybe, but more likely they’re just going to use more money from the general fund like they already do. Only 26% of the road infrastructure budget came from gas taxes to begin with. So yes, the funding would drop if they don’t make up the shortfall with other funds, but not as much as you think.


Trump is monumentally stupid, but that doesn’t mean his Wormtongue-esque advisors are. Trump probably didn’t know red-dyed diesel existed before this; he definitely didn’t come up with the idea to let truckers use it himself.


Two, the red fuel dye used in untaxed/offroad is aggressive and can be detected at extremely low concentrations, if dyed fuel has ever been in a tank it’s detectable for months if not years afterwards (depending on how much it gets refilled).
In other words, it fucks up the ability to tax diesel even long after the crisis is (theoretically/optimistically on Trump’s part) over. Considering that they could have just suspended the tax on non-dyed diesel and directed refineries to stop putting the dye in temporarily, but didn’t, one wonders if that was the real goal.


Fuel taxes aren’t random government money grabs, they directly fund roads, bridges, and other highway infrastructure.

That’s the budget the revenue from them goes into, but it’s only a drop in the bucket compared to the total cost of that infrastructure. The road system is massively subsidized from sources other than driver user fees.


It’s not artificial; it’s just dyed red to show it wasn’t taxed.


and it was also spelled differently.
This is like getting upset about Türkiye or Naoero. Typical Federation arrogance, trying to tell the mighty Klingon Empire their preferred transliteration is wrong!


The traitors are bitching and whining about Raffensperger too:
The letter also asks the DOJ to hold Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger “accountable” if he withholds any information or prevents the review. Raffensperger, a Republican, resisted enormous pressure from President Donald Trump to “find” enough votes in Georgia to overturn his 2020 election loss.
…
The Secretary of State’s Office told MS NOW it was not notified before the election board sent the letter to the DOJ.
“People who are serious about election security don’t inject chaos in the eleventh hour. In roughly 30 days, Georgia’s 159 election directors will conduct a free, fair, and fast election for all eligible Georgia voters,” a representative for Raffensperger’s office told MS NOW.

Calm down with the baseball obsession, Rom!


Plot twist: we are in the Star Trek universe, but it’s 2026.


That’s a lie.
They aren’t saying “please.”


The truth is slipping out of the lie. It’s a tacit admission that the real customer for all this compute is the Orwellian surveillance system ICE/Flock/Palantir/the Trump regime in general is building.


If we recommend you a tracker tracker, soon enough you’ll just be back asking for a tracker tracker tracker. When does it end?!
Perhaps concrete but it can’t really dry inside a printed object right?
Concrete doesn’t dry; it hydrates and cures. It can harden underwater, let alone inside a container.
If anything, the potential problem with concrete is that curing is exothermic, so it might heat up and distort your part. It’d have to be a pretty big print for that to happen, though.


As someone with a Pixel 8 running Graphene OS, I’d love for you to cite the source so I could read it.


The judiciary really needs to start using “Imprisonment until the person complies with the order” a lot more early, often, and against people higher up in the DoJ org chart.
He was also considerably more popular than Kirk among female viewers, if the fan mail was to be believed.
