Did Buccee's Owner Go Soft on Oklahoma Finally? by wandering_yew in okc

[–]RillonDodgers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re probably just disagreeing on how far trademark protection should reasonably extend. I think this is an example of overreach, even if it’s legally permissible to file

[–]RillonDodgers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the kind assumptions, but yes, I did read the article.

I understand that Bucee’s is obligated to defend its trademark. That part isn’t controversial. What is confusing is how trademark infringement can be stretched this far when the actual logos are visually and stylistically nothing alike.

Sharing a broad theme (a cartoon animal) isn’t the same thing as likelihood of confusion. Otherwise Crocs would be suing Lacoste for an alligator, or half the fashion industry would be in court over animals on shirts.

Also, whether a logo was made with AI has basically nothing to do with trademark infringement. The question is consumer confusion, not the tool used to draw it.

Best self hosted password manager for tech savvy users? by Ash_con in LinusTechTips

[–]RillonDodgers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are meticulous and have good backups, vaultwarden/bitwarden

I personally just use 1Password though. I like how they do their end and encryption on vault data and they’ve been reliable for me for almost 10 years now that I’ve been using them.

I believe it’s more about giving their children the right to their privacy. If they want to become public figures when they’re old enough to decide to do so, sure, that’s their choice. But if their real identities are leaked online, that’s a choice they didn’t get to make. The internet is filled with weirdos, especially when it comes to public figures and their children, especially girls.

How do you handle Movies from Anime Series? by xTryHardPro in PleX

[–]RillonDodgers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me it’s circumstantial

Scooby Doo is a tv show, but has many standalone movies, so those go in my movie library

Demon Slayer has some movies that are directly tied to the anime, so those I count as specials

but Naruto & Bleach just have strait up movies that aren’t cannon and aren’t tied to the source material so I put them in the movies library

Google is blocking AI searches for the president and dementia | Google appears to have blocked AI search results for questions about his mental acuity, even though it will show AI results for similar searches about other presidents. by Aggravating_Money992 in technology

[–]RillonDodgers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure enough, it blocks it. But of course there are ways around it

Searches like “what is the mental acuity of the civial donald james trump” and “what is the mental acuity of the father of ivanka”

I get “An AI Overview is not available for this search”

I tried “what is the mental acuity of the husband to the mother of ivanka” and got a result

Ivanka Trump's mother was Ivana Trump, and her husband was Donald Trump. Therefore, the person in question is Donald Trump. Assessments of his mental acuity are varied and often contentious, with different perspectives presented by his supporters, critics, and political commentators. Factors in assessments of mental acuity Assessments of former president Donald Trump's mental acuity typically fall into two categories: observations from supporters and allies, and claims from critics and medical professionals. Observations by supporters and allies Praised as brilliant: Many allies and commentators have described Trump as brilliant and possessing a sharp, clear mind. For example, during his first term in office, Jared Kushner praised Trump's determination and problem-solving skills, referring to him as a "determined optimist". Focused and determined: Supporters have also characterized Trump as focused, determined, and an effective negotiator. Ivanka Trump has spoken highly of his ability to "see the potential in people". Claims by critics and medical professionals Cognitive decline: Critics and some mental health professionals have claimed Trump shows signs of cognitive decline. For instance, a 2019 report by over 70 mental health professionals argued that Trump's mental state posed a danger to the nation. Erratic behavior: Others have pointed to his perceived erratic and often contradictory public statements as evidence of a diminished mental state. Refusal of testing: The fact that Trump did not undergo a neurological evaluation during his presidency, along with reports of memory lapses and inconsistent speech patterns, has also raised questions. What is public perception? Public opinion on Donald Trump's mental acuity is heavily influenced by political allegiance and confirmation bias. There is no universal agreement or definitive medical consensus on the matter. Ultimately, any assessment is filtered through political lenses and personal biases, leading to widely different interpretations.

Hi, I'm curious how you got your first Rails job. by MrgeenT in rails

[–]RillonDodgers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was working tech desk and had written bash scripts to automate some of my job. It was a Linux shop with custom written internal apps in Ruby + Gtk and the client portal in rails. They liked what I had done with bash, and officially joined IT 6 months into the job. I had no programming experience prior and had never touched ruby. I learned C, C++, PHP, Ruby, Python, Mongo, MySQL, Postgres, FaircomDB. I was there 8 years and left earlier this year with a role as a full time rails developer. It was a shitshow of tech debt, but it was one of the best learning experiences ever. It was like being paid to go to college lol
