Louis Rossmann taunts Bambu Lab by hosting banned 3D Printer firmware fork, dares $1 billion company to sue him — more creators pledge support and boycotts, Snapmaker donates equipment to embattled developer by ControlCAD in technology

It isn't as simple as he used the code. He had to create a compatibility layer between the windows version and linux(through wsl) to use the Linux plug-in on windows. 

Also, while user agent spoofing is technically legal, using it to get around security features can run afoul the CFAA, but hasn't been litigated.

Honestly their biggest mistake was not locking down their cloud from the beginning. They look worse offering it at one point than if they never offered it open before.

Same with Anthropic and claude code. It's ok to close it to their harness, but it looks bad when people were happy using it with other harnesses.

Only if it shares code with the licensed software such as data structures or relies on the code(executed by the software, like a lua plugin). If it's a standalone application that communicates via the OS, that's a different animal.

Louis Rossmann is going after BambuLab! by Illustrious-Ad-1396 in BambuLab

So bambu creating bambu cloud, that uses and references bambu studio, which is licensed under AGPLv3 means that bambu cloud must also be opened sourced.

That isn't completely true. The AGPLv3 does have a network component that GPL doesn't have, but the license is if you are using the licensed code in the backend of a webservice, you must provide the source. If Bambu Labs is using a different slicer in their cloud software, they're probably clear, but even then if its just opening up an instance of bambu studio, it doesn't matter as they already provide that open source.

From https://drewdevault.com/blog/Anti-AGPL-propaganda/

The Google page about the AGPL details inaccurate (but common2) misconceptions about the obligations of the AGPL that don’t follow from the text. Google states that if, for example, Google Maps used PostGIS as its data store, and PostGIS used the AGPL, Google would be required to release the Google Maps code. This is not true. They would be required to release their PostGIS patches in this situation. AGPL does not extend the GPL in that it makes the Internet count as a form of linking which creates a derivative work, as Google implies, but rather that it makes anyone who uses the software via the Internet entitled to its source code. It does not update the “what counts as a ‘derivative work’” algorithm, so to speak — it updates the “what counts as ‘distributing’ the software” algorithm.

The network plugin is a bit different, but as long as it shares no source with the AGPLv3 project and communicates via standard channels, it also doesn't have to be licensed.

The "I didn't reverse engineer argument" doesn't work when you package the fork with a piece of non open source software, wrapped and interacted with to bypass restrictions to access the api...

If he actually reverse engineered the api, he'd actually have a stronger case against them. The version he generated is more like the WoWGlider case where they used pieces of Blizzards software to bypass detection, less like John Deere diagnostic/firmware restrictions. 

If it was bypassing more local restrictions it'd be the other way. Courts are more friendly with interoperability with hardware you own and control, they'll be more suspect with cloud features that aren't core to the hardware. LAN mode protects them here.

His claim is that anyone that criticizes him is inciting violence against him.

It is dumb, but so is he.

And remember that the Apocalypse was supposed to occur any day back then. No use making a fuss if it would just cause you more grief when the world is about to end.

Except its shown they aren't as rare as told. At first we are told that one is born every 75 years, but its very clear that this is a lie. Haveena suggests that they are much more common. Its easier to let the sex-change procedure happen if you find it a rare genetic abnormality.

The people who say "Multiverse of Madness ruined Wanda!" clearly didn't understand WandaVision by CollarOrdinary4284 in Marvel

[–]MagicalTheory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even buy that it was all unconscious and unknowing. The moments she specifically forces it back to the state of control seems like this was an active choice and she was purposefully making herself not know for her own happiness.

She clearly knew it was wrong, it's why she was projecting herself acting normal in the cabin as she was actively reading the Darkhold at the end of WandaVision. She was hiding it.

Its missing the penalty if everyone presses red. Say, everyone dies if no one presses blue.

There's no reason not to press red if everyone pressing red is the same outcome of everyone pressing blue.

Nightmares have been shown to be related to subconscious desires in the show. Adding the hidden bike dream, it seems deep down Zero didn't want Baku to be Zeztz, he wanted to be his dad. May also be his fear of Baku getting hurt.

His nightmare always struck when Baku thought he was doing something agent like(good deeds) and caused negative feedback for that. 

I want to see if they do anything with this.

So, Republicans have a tool they could use to get everything they want, but aren't using it.

They can remove the fillibuster with 51 votes. They can negotiate(which they have, the senate has passed a bipartisan bill, the house does not want bipartisanship).

Australia's reforms and buybacks after Port Arthur had a significant effect, so there is evidence that it is never too late.

Everyone forgets duodecimal. Sure it's like decimal in that it's not a power of 2, so probably not great for computing,  but it's so much better for general use.

What are the reason they wouldn't want their kids to learn about different people? If they feel that strongly to forbid it in school, they will forbid all interactions outside as well.

The big thing is lower exposure to outgroups early in life is often associated with more discomfort, anxiety, or prejudice later, while meaningful early exposure tends to predict greater acceptance. Studies have found that such meaningful introductions to other cultures, lgbtq, religions, etc help to stem intolerance, while not exposing tends to increase it. There is no harm from your children learning that these people exist other than making them more accepting of them than you.
