I have been, Trump’s not really using congress he’s EO banging and violating the constitution and courts are slow to react, if they even will stop him. Even in congress you have to convince Republican congresspeople whose constituents LIKE what’s happening.

I never said give up. Keep trying. Just other countries shouldn’t be expecting this shit to work and the US to magically be rational again in a couple months. We could be under a Republican dictatorship, a military coup, or a civil war in the next couple years for all I know. We’re unstable.

The crazy half is in control right now and there’s not much we can realistically do. With the amount of Republicans who like the current situation and bootlickers who are indifferent protests or other means aren’t likely to affect anything. Maybe if the US slides into another great depression public sentiment can shift enough to make a change but until then no one should be treating us like a rational country.

Make linux your wife and then everyone will be happy.

You really need to put “Montana” in the title. Banning mRNA vaccines is stupid af but without “Montana” it’s assumed to be federal.

Going to be interesting watching the courts this year. Congress ain’t doin shit but maybe the judicial branch wants to try and keep some power for themselves and congress instead of being a complete rubber stamp. Also if they rubber stamp some of the clearly unconstitutional stuff we might be looking at possible secession and civil war. Then again if they don’t rubber stamp and Trump ignores their rulings we might be looking at civil war too.

It really sucks to live in interesting times.

We started naming every scandal [name]-Gate after it so it’s still in the public conscious and only one sitting US president has ever left their term early due to scandal.

Of course the rules are different now. Impeachment and removal (or resignation to avoid it) are almost impossible with the current state of Congress. So we can only say “This might have been as big as the Watergate scandal if we still had any ethics as a country.”

Written works are tangible and so have a copyright upon creation, just like the video in your example. That recording posted online “publicly” where anyone can see it free of charge wouldn’t change its copyright. Also private internet sites really aren’t “public” space in the ways most laws would define it, because it’s a server hosted by a private individual. We’re in ruud’s house right now so-to-speak. He has every right to censor us and show us the door if he so chooses.

By posting or commenting here (or on reddit for that matter) we don’t fully waive copyright to IP. If I write a unique poem here and some random person plagiarizes it and sells it I could still sue. But on reddit, if reddit decides to publish a book of “Best of reddit poems” or transfer that license to someone else I’m shit out of luck. On lemmy without the legalese I stand a good chance in court revoking the assumed license of my work and having a positive legal outcome.

You don’t lose your copyright just for posting it in a public space, even Reddit. But you do give reddit a perpetual, non-revokable, transferrable license to do basically whatever they want with your IP :

Found here under “your content”: https://redditinc.com/policies/user-agreement

With Lemmy all that language of perpetual, non-revokable, transferrable goes away to my knowledge. You still wholely own your own IP if you decide you don’t want it on Lemmy anymore.

Yeah, make them fire you ffs. Just do a shitty job and make mistakes that are sure to get rejected. Gum up the works as long as you can.

This stepping down in protest to let them replace you with a lap dog isn’t helping anything.

Yeah but there is a FOSS nature about it. At least ANYONE can do whatever they want with the comments and posts I make public instead of just whichever company pays reddit for API access.

And reddit has some legal jargon about co-owning the copyright to whatever you post over there but lemmy doesn’t so you technically have more protection here to your own intellectual property.

And privacy is a whole different can of worms as I don’t think ruud is harvesting telemetry to sell to advertisers and whatnot.

It’s funny that this news is sparking talks of a reddit exodus, when way worse stuff that they do like monetizing all your data and privacy isn’t met with much outrage.

They’re basically trying to offer a Patreon/OnlyFans option which makes a lot of sense as a monetization strategy and doesn’t even seem that scummy if the subreddit creators themselves are opting into the format.

Ask about a specific error code on a windows forum: unhelpful boilerplate nonsense.

Ask about the vaguest symptoms of a recurring problem on a linux forum: a neckbeard wizard will show up and have you type 30 cryptic commands in your terminal and everything will be fixed.

My understanding is that outlaws were still subject to the law in the UK and that’s probably the understanding of it in the early USA. Outlawry was just a likely death sentence in absentia for felons on the run as opposed to a purposeful banishment. They’d even pay bounties to have felons tracked down and brought back because they were concerned with them being subjected to legal consequences.

Farmers are going to get hammered with retaliatory tariffs on exports too. Time for them to find out I guess.

If we’re giving notes being caught with the gun and the manifesto also bad. And then going to sit down and eat at a McDonald’s while on the run. And wearing a mask in Altoona where he probably could have just walked in with his face showing an not gotten caught because the surveillance photos from the NYPD looked so different. And then giving a police officer a fake ID which gave them probable cause for everything…yeah police are going to catch the fake ID…

He’s obviously not a professional hitman. I wonder if NYPD/Feds would have been able to track him down eventually anyway with the evidence left in New York.

I always love when they knock the wait times in Canada because in the US the alternative for most would be avoiding going to the hospital at all costs until it’s too late anyway.

Yeah it’s his lawsuit against ABC. Likely it just gets dismissed if he refused to sit for a deposition.
