I wouldn’t be surprised if the ban was a pretext and the sub was just something admins found objectionable for their own reasons. Like as long as mods remove material and users when an issue is brought to their attention then the sub should be fine.
The fact they don’t know why it happened is telling that they weren’t given a real chance to correct the issue. Just centralised social media things I guess.
The last call from the Thresher was reportedly garbled communications with the only audible phrase, “exceeding test depth”, which was followed soon after by the sound of an implosion.
Most instances don’t have a specific copyright in their ToS, which is basically how copyright is handled on corporate social media (Meta/X/Reddit owns license rights to whatever you post on their platform when you click “Agree”).

Copyright is more than that, like who is allowed to make commercial use of a given work. Just because something is written down in a public forum doesn’t give everyone free rein to do whatever they want with it under copyright.
Uh, copyright always works that way. You’re not supposed to make copies of movies most of the time, but people do, and it is virtually unenforceable as long as they take basic precautions. One of the only times it is reliably enforceable is when a business tries to make money off of your work and you can sue them.
Sure, but I would say that there’s a reasonability test there. Like, I could have a posted note somewhere on the internet that says, “by allowing my computer to download your content you grant me full license to use your intellectual property for any purpose in perpetuity throughout the universe,” but that doesn’t make it binding on anyone. Federation means other servers pull the data, so you don’t have control over it, so you can’t be considered to agree to a random server’s terms.
The same thing happens when you download a website. The website always allows others to download its content, but that confers no license no matter what anyone else says.
“License free” doesn’t mean “free license”, it means the opposite. No explicit permission is granted.
I think this is a very fine distinction that would have to be settled in court and could go either way. I can only say what I think it should do. And to be honest I think copyright is garbage, but for it be consistent I don’t think that difference should matter.
I think an important distinction for me with federation though is that it’s not just a push, you have to subscribe, so it’s a two way street. It would be similar to an RSS feed, and I’m not aware of that having any particular implications for copyright. There is certainly no explicit acknowledgement of terms baked into either protocol, so I think the only reasonable conclusion should be that it doesn’t impact copyright either way. That remains unlicensed and subject to the normal rules, which presuppose that permission is not granted.
Massive flex. To start with, you found his daughter and got with her, but even worse you did it without him knowing when it is literally his job to know your movements.
I think it’s time he admits defeat and submits to forced feminisation.
The US nuking international law to protect a handful of criminals has been a matter of explicit policy since the Hague Invasion Act of 2002.

Craig Doty II, a Tesla owner, narrowly avoided a collision after his vehicle, in Full Self-Driving (FSD) mode, allegedly steered towards an oncoming train....
You’re right that it’s just a name, which means it’s within Tesla’s power to not call it “full self driving”. Like maybe keep the word “full” for when it’s better than “full self driving brackets not really”.
The reason it’s called that is so when you’re buying the car, you can read “full self driving”, the salesman can call it “full self driving”, and then you can get excited and think you’re getting full self driving and pay stupid amounts of money for an iPhone on wheels.
It’s also so Musk can get up on stage and lie for years about how you’ll be able to go coast to coast while you sleep by the end of the year or whatever it is. Having a bunch of warnings in the software setup is not enough for someone gargling Musk’s jizz to cough it up and see it for the bullshit that it is.
You can give us all this extra info but you can’t change the core reality that the name is a lie.
I notice you danced around the question of whether it was a lie to focus on bullshit legal stuff, which isn’t the arbiter of truth and reality. As I once heard a judge say, “You don’t come here for justice, you come here for a judgment.”
I don’t give a shit whether their marketing is a lie.
I mean clearly. “Full self-driving” is marketing, and it is a lie. That’s the point being made here. You don’t have to care about it, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a lie.
I’m not not blaming the drivers. They were foolish enough to buy a Tesla and trust it with their lives for a start. But I am also blaming the marketing. Two things can be true.
Musk was involved in marketing and lying about it, though, and his extremely prolific public image is what gave it so much credibility. He’s lost a lot of that credibility now though, largely because people have spent a lot of time criticizing him. If you want him to disappear from the public eye that’s great, so do I, but he’s one of the most powerful men in the world, so that’s not going to happen.
Yeah, I’ve been trying for over a decade to switch to Linux, but the pain points have been too much for me. This is it though, MS is making it impossible to continue with their spyware crap. I have to find a way to make the switch before 10 reaches end of life.
I’ve been seeing that comic for so long, and I’ve just realised I got the narrative backwards. I always thought the person handing the item over in the first panel was the plagiarist, and the person receiving it was saying “you made this?” in confusion, then waiting a moment and acknowledging that yes, they have just been given back the thing they made and told someone else made it.
Now I realise it’s probably meant to be read that the original maker is on the left, and the plagiarist on the right is just waiting till they’re gone to take credit for it.
Well that’s the thing, you don’t need a lot. You’re handing out these cards and people walk out the door with them, so you can’t trust they’re not going to mess with them. They don’t need to be walking around with a writer, you need one person to have access - either own one or have one at work or a university lab - and they can make as many cards as they want to give to their friends. Then they could use your business for years and get thousands of dollars of free service without you ever knowing.
That’s the real threat here I think - a poor university student with a technical degree challenging themselves to cheat the system and help out their friends. I mean it’s probably not going to happen, but a business owner who’s aware of this attack vector could spend the time to get a basic encryption system going that’s practically unbreakable.
Yeah, but you’d need the algorithm. It could be a hash of some kind, and if you don’t know what kind of algorithm they’re using you can’t replicate it.
EDIT: Oh, I see what you’re saying. You mean you could simply rewrite the original card value back over it forever. That’s actually quite clever, and it would work even in case the card was completely encrypted.
Actually that means this is trivial to beat I think.
The problem with that is that if the machines don’t talk to one another then there’s no way to make that system work across machines. I guess if each machine enforced it then you would eventually run out of machines that work for your hacked card.
