Thank you for the summary. I don’t have a dog in the fight myself. (I use NewPipe) But I’m an FOSS advocate.

Stripping attribution…that’s a GPL violation and that itself is enough to terminate the license. The dates of repo creation and commit dates should be enough to prove causality.

It’s not like the fork couldn’t have stood on its own. Like…wtf was the contributor thinking removing the attribution would do?

Can someone tl;Dr this for me? I’ve gone almost two years without clicking a reddit link and I’m not about to start now.

I have so many questions. I guess I never viewed as “tankie” as left.

Hell, I consider myself far-left to the point of being a progressive, almost to the point of being an anarchist.

But my reality is rooted in actual facts.

I actually think the expected reality is worse:

The family will likely settle out of court. MongoDB will admit to no wrongdoing and the settlement will be sealed and there will be an NDA signed by the family, essentially making it impossible for future employees to get the help they need.

If the family really, really cares about their daughter’s legacy, they need to hold out until MongoDB is willing to admit to wrongdoing, even if it means they don’t see a penny.

Unless your writing is going to be greatly different from FMHY, I’d partner with them on the hosting so you only have to focus on the writing.

I’d love to see the EU to start calling out fascist organizations and labeling them as terrorists.

Our education system values rote memorization over actually learning something. So instead of teaching you how to use the periodic table, they teach you “The element of Hydrogen has an atomic mass of 1” etc.

A few teachers who actually give a fuck will do both, but they are required to teach the test for funding. Because that’s how they are graded.

Reverse engineering prohibitions are the dumbest things.

Let’s say I do this. Arduino sues me. Okay. Now what? What money are they going to take?

Hell, this would be a perfect time for everyone to form an LLC and purchase Arduinos as the LLC and then release your research under your corporate name as CC0. If your LLC has no revenue, you as an individual are legally protected.

Arduino can try to put the genie back in the bottle but good luck.

Better companies than Arduino have tried to prevent hardware reverse engineering and have failed. Apple being the biggest company I can think of that have tried to sue people for releasing schematics of their motherboards.

Your submission “Does anyone know a free Playboy TV piracy stream on the web that actually shows the same thing the adult cable channel Playboy TV airs on cable and not just half of what Playboy TV shows on cable?” in [email protected] was removed because: Removing for violating Rule 3…

What I can’t stand is when platforms don’t take no for an answer.

Every fucking visit to Dropbox: “Upgrade to Standard!”

Every check out on Amazon: "Upgrade to Prime!

Every time I open Walmart: “Upgrade to Walmart+”

I fucking can’t stand it.

I’m rewatching it and always forget how funny the show is.

Right back at you!

You’re getting down voted right now and I think it’s important to understand why because I had a similar reaction not too long ago. I was curious to understand my own biases and what I think it’s important to share what I learned as a cis male in IT.

Women just want to be women. Some want to wear nail polish and “look pretty” while others want to just rock a T-shirt and jeans. Like men who wear full tux and debug code at 6pm on a Friday (because they aren’t farmers), they want to be what they want to be.

Men have the luxury to wear whatever they want (for the most part) and not get shit for it. Women have to do everything that men do and do it with maturity while handing the shit that men throw their way.

I learned this lesson when I was the sole male STEM counselor at an all girls camp. It was a volunteer gig that my company put together. They had last minute cancellations and I had time on my calendar and so I volunteered. I did not know it was all girls and I certainly did not know I’d be the only guy.

I stayed curious and helped where I could. My job was to be a project manager, help teams understand how to win their competition that had set requirements. So I walked them through all that and looked over their code. There as a dedicated “make up hour” where the girls were encouraged to make their presentations “pretty” with make up, glitter, etc. I personally found it pointless given how far behind we were but I kept my mouth shut.

And I observed.

The fact that these girls could do this and do IT was immensely powerful. You could see their spirits lifted. It rocked my world and made me check my own beliefs. Why not allow them to be pretty? Why not let them take an hour to put glitter and stickers on their board if it made them happy?

Did we win? No. But they enjoyed it.

In my 20+ years in tech, we need more women because they bring perspective in ways I don’t. Not because they want to be pretty because they provide insight in ways I don’t expect. Anything I can do to help make that happen I’ll gladly do.

I added a cross brace across the back as well as a cross brace on either side of the desk, with a 6" extension. The desk immediately became sturdy with just one brace but I added the second. It held my 200lbs ass on the front without issue.

I think I could have done just 3" and it would have been fine. But now I’m confident that I can have sex on it which is a side benefit to just the standing desk mount.

Three. One to put on. One to have at the ready. One to wash.

Huh never noticed. I used imgflip to make the meme.

Anytime employees ask for wage increases, all of these economist complain how it will rAiSe PrIcEs!

And I’m glad you got yours. Now help others get theirs.

Actually this is my exact plan. It occurred to me that the tipping over could be fixed by extending the base out to move the center of gravity back. I’ll post an update once I make the change. It won’t be until tomorrow due to life.

Omg you explained this very well. I didn’t take into account that moving the legs back would move the center of gravity.

God damn it. Physics! You bitch!

I think the triangle approach is not possible. I am beginning to wonder if my approach (e.g. table with an apron) is the wrong approach.
