The House GOP voted down the funding bill the House GOP proposed: https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4230386-house-conservatives-tank-gop-short-term-funding-bill/

They may need to make concessions to Democrats that they would otherwise not need to make to get this passed, despite having a majority of the House.

The issue is that by Senate policy, one person can throw a massive wrench in the process and grind things to a halt. Progressives typically want to do things, which cannot be done by one person throwing a hissy fit.

I think anime eyes IRL would be horrifying.

It also does not experience space, as the entire universe has been length contracted in its direction of motion into a 2d plane. It is simultaneously occupying every point along its path. So it doesn't need to experience time.

It is. And it was done without a permit, so the city might fine him over it too. https://apnews.com/article/twitter-san-francisco-building-x-elon-musk-4e0ae2a3b1b838b744bb2dc494f5b23c

Remember, Creative Commons licenses often require attribution if you use the work in a derivative product, and sometimes require ShareAlike. Without these things, there would be basically no protection from a large firm copying a work and calling it their own.

Rolling pack copyright protection in these areas will enable large companies with traditional copyright systems to wholesale take over open source projects, to the detriment of everyone. Closed source software isn't going to be available to AI scrapers, so this only really affects open source projects and open data, exactly the sort of people who should have more protection.

This kind of ruling would make sense for a $20 bicycle, but I'd expect the bar for mutual agreement to be higher for a shipment of $60,000 worth of flax.

And that's exactly what's supposed to happen. Instance wars and eventual defederation and fragmentation are important moderation tools, and will progress the culture and feel of instances and regions of the Fediverse. Many instances will form federated cliques that are highly connected and have similar vibes and cultures, and some will be federated with multiple cliques, showing users a variety of cultures and situations.

If the Fediverse reaches a large enough number of people, it can support multiple independant cliques, and enable users see entire mini-universes with different communities and vibes.

The durability issues of foldables are a real shame because the Pixel Fold is otherwise a very nice device. We'll have a full review up soon.

Dead before the review dropped. Thats gotta be a record.

This is pretty much how I feel. We don't send these kinds of assets after normal people. But we send the navy and scramble everything we can over a handful of billionaires.

One nice thing is that because Kbin/Lemmy is federated, they can build an accessible platform and not worry about the powers that be flipping them the bird. There are good accessibility tools in the form of 3rd party apps for Reddit, but those are getting shut down.
