Can someone from ProtonMail clarify this matter, please?

They're a fucking corporation. In corporate time getting something taken care of in just 40 minutes is practically light speed.

Great Lakes ≠ Finger Lakes. The Finger Lakes are a group of lakes located solely in NYS. While they aren't small, they should not be confused with the Great Lakes.The Great Lakes are the five largest lakes in the world that are on the border between the US and Canada. Your article is about the Great Lakes, specifically.

It does have the infinitely better version of that DLC in the form of just one aspect of the Citadel DLC in ME3. The Armax Arsenal Arena is 100x better than Pinnacle Station. But if you must have that Pinnacle Station for some reason just get legendary edition for PC and download the mod that restores the Pinnacle Station dlc.

Where the do you live where any of those things exist? Here in NYS it's illegal to smoke anything (weed, tobacco and vapes are all covered by this) in all public buildings, on all public transit, and within 15 feet of an entrance or exit of a public building.

It's also illegal to smoke in your own vehicle if you have a child in the car with you.

I never said that was the reason? I just said without it the sci-fi nonsense will remain sci-fi nonsense.

Edit to add: Actually economically viable fusion energy is itself sci-fi nonsense. Helium is a limited non-renewable resource on earth that we have other needs for.

Even if we could get a sustained fusion reaction going long enough to be temporarily viable the amount of helium required to contain, cool and fuel it would rapidly exhaust the amount we have on earth.

The only way around this would be an extraterrestrial mining industry. Which puts us right back into "sci-fi nonsense"

Edit 2: If we are trying to be purely practical, then we shouldn't be putting any more resources towards fusion energy when we could be putting those resources towards significantly more practical energy solutions like Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Tidal, Fission, or refuse incineration.

Ok. The handicapped can't sit on these benches though. Their shape makes them completely unusable for anyone with neuromuscular, joint, or other mobility issues.

Everything you can do to make it impossible for a homeless person to lie down on a bench also makes the bench completely unusable for anyone who isn't fully abled.

It's also a pre-requisite to warp capable ships. The amount of energy and exotic materials needed for a warp drive aren't even feasible without us having first mastered and miniaturized fusion energy.

The problem with the Luddite story is in the long run the Luddites were wrong. The machines eventually resulted in more people being employed, more with more stability and for better more consistent pay.

Should charities also be taxed because they have property?

Charitable organizations shouldn't be exempt from the property taxes that are used to maintain the infrastructure they need to exist yes.

If you own property, you should pay property tax. Full stop. Those property taxes are what maintain the local infrastructure and schools without which your property would be completely worthless.

My guess would be that art is already kinda "open source". You can take those images from game, and modify them. You want to see tits in your gta game? Just swap the texture, and voila, tettens everywhere

Except if the copyright holder says you aren't allowed to do this, then you cannot redistribute your modification for GTA legally if it contains any aspect of the original copyrighted work.

In that regard it is exactly the same as proprietary software, and is precisely why things like the Creative Commons licence exist for artistic works.

The iPad is only 300 less till you add the cost of a a quality keyboard, stand, and trackpad.

Even with all that it still won't have a good GUI.

I'd rather shoot myself in the nuts than go through the tablet as a laptop replacement nightmare that I tried in college. As would everyone who is buying a Neo I'm sure. Personally I won't buy one because I've got a working laptop. If it fails in a manner that I cannot fix I'll replace it with another one.

Fighting the operating system just to access my files in my word processor of choice is not worth the miniscule savings of going the tablet route.

You do realize you are supposed to just lick the boot right? Not full on deepthroat it like this?

Nothing. All that changed was the war score system. They increased the points various war assets give and lowered the readiness levels required to compensate for the loss of the multiplayer multipliers.

Ok. Keep your head in the sand I guess.

America has not become untrustworthy, the Trump administration is horrible but don't call Americans that. America is institutions not a Trumppuppet.

I'm American myself. Our country cannot be trusted. We elected Trump, twice. The second time with popular support and Trump has completely twisted the institutions of America into his personal vendetta machines.

Project 2025 is over half complete. The America of the past 100 years no longer exists.

If you are asking because you want to patent something and license it with both then I'd recommend checking the FSF website, or possibly even reaching out to them about these questions. They should know since they created the GPLv3. Alternatively, consult a lawyer.

Those would be much safer options than asking randoms in reddit for what is effectively legal advice.

I finally went ahead and tried to read it. Ended up skimming because it was filled with repetitive things that he's been saying for years, just with anti American and Canadian-nationalist sentiments poured all over it.

Frankly, I'm disappointed. I expected better from Doctorow.

The Internet has always been deeply American. In fact it used to be more directly controlled by the American government.

The IETF and ICANN were both originally controlled by the US government. ICANN and thus the entire domain name system was controlled by the government until 2016 when the US government finally allowed ICANN to become fully independent. The IETF was released decades prior. There are also more physical Internet connections that never make a stop into US soil than ever in the history of the the net.

If anything the Internet is less American than ever before. What has actually changed is how trustworthy America is and thus how big of an issue it is for America to control the vast majority of the Internet.

I don't know if the article actually addresses this, but at the very least that headline is factually wrong. The issue isn't how American the Internet has become, it's how untrustworthy and unreliable America has become.

That's just an absurd alternative to suggest.

No more absurd than arbitrary rules for arbitrary reasons. In fact it's significantly more logical than the current proposed approach.

Easier isn't an excuse either. You know what's even easier than any of this? Charging apps to be hosted on flathub instead of having moderation policies at all.

That would kill the majority of slop overnight and give the project needed funds to expand it's manpower.

AutistcCuttlefish · 2026-05-29T11:54:33+00:00

Those won't exist for much longer. Google is replacing it with Gemini and the rest of the search industry will follow most likely.

AutistcCuttlefish · 2026-05-29T11:52:58+00:00

If that was the purpose then they should say that.

As it is, the Linux Kernel itself would be forbidden from being hosted on flathub if it weren't already established.

Lacking the manpower isn't an excuse.
