I personally believe so, at least. I guess whether the murder can be justified or not is a separate question.

I don’t think a lot of people are using the “guillotine landlords” imagery ironically.

That’s tied to the instance. The French word for slow is the same as a word commonly used as an insult in English, so the .ml devs have it baked in to their slur filter.

A better question to start would be if there’s any creative commons or copyleft media in the modern zeitgeist.

Memes are made organically as small units of culture and gain popularity via an implicit understanding of meaning that doesn’t need to be explained.

For a meme template to have those attributes, it would need to derive from a work that was licensed as CC/copyleft from the get-go and gained popularity among the masses.

That being said, seems a moot point when fair use/derivative work standards allow unlicensed memes to legally exist regardless of the original licensing of the work they were derived from.

For work in the public domain, that’s one thing, but for work which is still copyright protected, you can actually be sued for (shockingly enough) making copies of it.

Generally, though, most countries only care if you distribute copies of something (even if you’re not making money off of it), but that’s not to say that the concept of “distributing” hasn’t been stretched pretty thin in the past.

Rightsholders have gone after businesses and private individuals just for playing sports events on radio or TV audibly/visibly enough to have an “audience”, thereby infringing on broadcast rights. Even if they’re not charging a thing for it. Feel free to read this and see how far the insanity goes.

If I buy a book and make copies of the pages to takes notes on, that’s usually fine. But if I make a copy and give it to a friend…

80’s’n’t

Depends on how one frames it. It’s not the Stallman-defined “GNU+Linux” pureblood OS, but it nevertheless is built from a modified version of the Linux kernel.

And like any OS it can be made private and secure with the right components…or it can be cracked open like a data-farming egg without them.

I guess I can just take the low-hanging fruit and invoke Ubuntu as an alternative example, which was once something of a Linux entry point but has become more than fine collecting user data.

Ironically a Linux-derived OS.

It’s always good practice to be careful who you trust with your data. Open =/= private. More choices helps, though.

TSMC hates this one easy trick!

Well…you’re not wrong.

It’s the specialized tools you’ll also need to do all of that that’ll get you, though.

Just build one, cheaper to boot.

Coming into a thread that has nothing to do with politics and using it to soapbox your political superiority is still kinda cringe, ngl.

Ah you’re right, my brain somehow glossed over that detail!

Landlines are easy to tap into, unfortunately.

Smartphones come with their own security concerns but it allows things like E2E encrypted VOIP to exist, at least.

Caught me before I was able to edit! I thought about it for a second and decided that estimate was too high.

10 people is what I would usually say is a normal amount, maybe variable depending on how hungry people arrive and if there are any other dishes to snack on at whatever hypothetical party this is.

I can only eat 3-4 slices at most before I get full, but my appetite isn’t the biggest.

Usually what ends up happening is that I still order a party pizza for a group of 5 or so people and then end up with leftovers for a few days. Just can’t beat the surface-to-crust ratio.

A party pizza is basically what it sounds like, a pizza meant to feed a party of 10 or more people.

They usually look like this, a large rectangle cut into squares. Each square is about the width of your palm between your wrist and your fingers.

I mean it’s just the cake equivalent of a party pizza. It’s not made any differently than any other sponge cake, it just uses a larger square sheet to bake in than smaller round cake pans.

There were several. Why didn’t these hypothetical single-issue Trump supporters vote for Cornel West or Claudia de la Cruz if their priority is narrowing the income gap? Even Harris promised to implement at least a billionaire tax.

If people were pissed about income inequality, they’d vote for the “tax the rich” candidates. Donald Trump’s agenda is the exact opposite about that.

I think there are two separate but related metrics at play here. Addressing income inequality would certainly go a long way towards improving quality of life for the working class, but Americans don’t care about someone having too much money as much as they care about having too little themselves.

Despite large movements like Occupy Wall Street bringing the topic of income inequality to the forefront of news for a while, the fact that it petered out and has ceased to be an issue means that enough members of the working class were still contented enough by their bread and circuses, so nothing came of it.

These voters don’t care if their CEO gets a $10 million bonus at the end of the year as long as they can still afford groceries and housing, but they do start to care a lot when they don’t. Only, blame is being directed at the government (inflated cost of living) rather than their rich bosses (wage stagnation).
