Clever with the name. Surveil in white is interesting.

Looks fun as a brawl commander.

Wow, now I want to try that. Alternatively, transmorgify the token :D

Well, I don't have trust issues...

Damnit, did you just diagnose me over the internet?

I like it. Lots of good imagery.

Really good point about the AI context. I really hadn't considered how it would leak over into potentially corroding support for fair use.

Huh. Thanks for explaining. I certainly find that surprising, but I definitely don't have enough experience with this community to know the shape of its members' feelings on copyright or fair use.

Thanks.

I'd imagine the opposite. I'd be astonished if many programmers who use Lemmy would disagree with Alsup's ruling that "So long as the specific code used to implement a method is different, anyone is free under the Copyright Act to write his or her own code to carry out exactly the same function or specification of any methods used in the Java API. It does not matter that the declaration or method header lines are identical."

I think you misread the tone of my comment. I can name one. And point out one more potential candidate. I'd say that supports your position.

Also, I'm not sure how that constitutes cherry-picking, as for me that particular word choice implies a lack of good-faith reasoning. Regardless, I greatly appreciate your tone and consideration as well as your thoughtful points. Good discussion!

Judge William Alsup. Um, now ask me to name another.

Biden or Harris could do the US a favor and name, say, Shayon Ghosh to the federal bench. He's not quite as qualified as Alsup: whilst he's also from Jackson, MS, he strangely chose to go to Carnegie Mellon over Alsup's choice of Mississippi State.

We should crowdfund that! We could call it something clever... Like Soylent! :P
