so, say there's a tech company that makes some hardware, and they're refusing to release SDKs (not even binaries) so they can force you to buy their overpriced proprietary dongles and use their sketchy apps.

and say this company has a forum and never thought to register an account with the company's name as the username... and also didn't think to restrict new thread creation in the "announcements" category to privileged users...

are there any legal concerns with posting an official looking announcement that they're making open source sdks a top priority with the longterm goal of releasing open source firmware so people can hack it and flash their own firmware - and then posting links to the thread on reddit/lemmy/here/etc saying "yadayada announces open sourcing plans"?

because it sounds like some fun chaos if it takes off before they have time to take it down 😈

My boyfriend's health insurance plan covers, in their words "pretty much everything except gender affirming care". We're trying to get them investigated for discrimination. Does anyone have any resources for being affective with this?

Seeking guidance from experts regarding the barring of an individual's entry into our apartment building/premises. Is it within my rights to lawfully prevent someone's entry? The primary reason for this ban is that the person attempted to physically harm my father.

Online, a common acronym is IANAL (I am not a lawyer). Perhaps we should consider IANALLM (I am not a large language model) be added to the lexicon.
