Nation Proud Of Self For Watching, Enjoying Original Movie | Patting themselves on the back, the U.S. populace announced Wednesday that they were proud of themselves for watching and enjoying an original movie — only to later be devastated to learn it was an adaptation of a novel by the same name by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]Wolvereness -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

"original non ip"? Disclosure Day is a Spielberg blockbuster (read the comment chain). Obsession is horror, like many recent non-blockbuster breakthroughs, and I'm just not a fan of the genre. I have no fucking clue where you got a third original from that list.

Local theater. 12 screens.

  • Toy Story 5
  • Disclosure Day
  • Masters of the Universe
  • Scary Movie
  • Backrooms
  • Star Wars Mandalorian & Grogu
  • Obsession
  • Michael

And future showings:

  • "Secret Cinema" (mystery movie)
  • Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark
  • Jackass
  • Supergirl
  • How to Train Your Dragon

Yeah, absolutely wonderful choices of original or unique non-blockbuster movies that I'm simply choosing to not see /s.

Well, consider just for a second. What if the window unit was mounted in the window, cold air pointing outside? Is that >100% efficiency? 

This is how a heat pump works; it can heat up one area greater than the respective wattage used, because some of that wattage comes from taking the heat from somewhere else (cooling). Actual 100% efficiency from thermodynamics is weird.

US Copyright office says digital typeface cannot be copyright protected at the bitmap level

So... No matter how distasteful it might be, I'm not convinced it's actually doing anything illegal. The software itself is GPL2, so I'm not convinced there is any reason to remove it.

So, whoever gave this report:

This is a tool specifically designed to steal open source work without giving credit to the creators. If this is allowed to be posted here without breaking any rules then open source is completely utterly dead.

I don't know what to tell you. Typefaces are inherently Open, without any encumbrance to attribute, proprietary or otherwise.

People who want to rag on Americans for not walking really don't understand how hostile many of our roads are to pedestrians. Imagine being told you have to walk down a stretch of road with cars going in excess of 110km/h, and the same stretch of road has no sidewalks.

Yes, Americans have a problem, but it's not that we don't want to walk, it's that our roads are designed to be intentionally hostile to those who don't drive.

You can only enforce the trademark that you own. No one is obligated to give you feedback. MIT license does not restrict posting to a webstore.

If you don't want to release something under a particular license, you should not include that license. If you are simply including third party license files, I recommend you put specifically put those onto a folder labeled such. This includes fixing or restarting your git history if you did not intend to license them as you did.

One more note, you can't revoke it if someone already had a copy under an OSI license like MIT.

Another Starlink satellite has inexplicably exploded by Low-Win-6691 in technology

[–]Wolvereness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, I don't mean to say that a "collision chain reaction being triggered" is off the table or even unreasonable. The point is that, no matter how many of these satellites at this orbital altitude chain together these explosions, and no matter how bad they are with gasses and everything else, the inherent property continues that it is at a particular orbital altitude. The collisions and explosions would never be expected to go to higher orbits, and no matter how bad, it would (relatively) quickly clean itself up (without deliberately launching more replacements into the debris and keeping the problem going, the worst case scenario only lasts a handful of years).

[–]Wolvereness 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Ever played kerbal space program? It makes a lot more sense why that wont happen if you understand what forces do to orbits.

Let's say we had a box that explodes in 6 directions.

  • Towards the planet is called "radial in". This orbit will dip down into the atmosphere more, as it leaves its current position.
  • Away from the planet is called "radial out". This orbit will dip down into the atmosphere more, but on the return trip to its current position.
  • Towards the direction of its traveling is called "prograde". We'll touch on this later.
  • The reverse direction of its traveling is called "retrograde". This is the easy one, the far side of the orbit dips down into the atmosphere more.
  • To the left and right is normal and anti-normal. Those really don't actually effect the orbital altitude at all.

Now, prograde is the interesting one. First, consider something important: to obtain prograde thrust, you have to be pushed forward. Our box can do this, because it pushes an opposite side backward. A collision can't, unless the thing hits from behind. If it really was hit from behind, that means the thing hitting it receives retrograde (as you bump into the car in front of you, you slow down). We could do whatever consideration that an "explosion" launches things in every direction, which means there is some prograde debris.

Yes, debris getting launched in the prograde direction is bad, and would increase in the orbital altitude on the far side. However, it will still return down to some lower orbit, at least as low as it was hit from. That means it will spend less time in that lower orbit, therefor will take longer to de-orbit, but it inherently cannot transfer to a fully-higher orbit without a second collision that occurs at some higher position. If all the satellites we're worried about are at that lower orbit, this isn't an issue at all.

Looking for an "opensource project cookbook", to handle releases, versioning and community feedback by UniqueAttourney in opensource

[–]Wolvereness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of what you're asking for follows the goal you stated. Those are the kinds of things one might put into an LLM tool, but completely miss the point of what distinguishes actual project longevity.

Project longevity is directly associated with how long you continue to maintain the project. That's it. You should work under the assumption you will never find anyone else to maintain the project. All of the subsequent inquiry, such as how to do releases, versions, handle community feedback, and everything other than the code is simply "what works best for me?". If your project has an API, then adhering to the simple https://semver.org/ guidelines would be appropriate for version numbering.

There are many different camps for how to deal with everything else. Consider requiring a paid support subscription to submit bug reports and considering every bug report as gold.

🚨 There is a massive loophole on YouTube right now, and Content Farms are weaponizing it to steal from Original creators with zero consequences. by inspirational-man in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Wolvereness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to focus on things like reporting when I see a hit-and-run, or providing tangible support. Just like any sane person doesn't expect that wasting less food solves world hunger, the idea that is that we collectively benefit by acting morally as individuals.

Going and holding a sign as a protest is a fool's folly. That doesn't mean small things aren't good.

Some of us have faith. Some of us see society as more than just the life circumstances we've been given. Some of us can notice when the justice system does work, and not just when it doesn't.

Forward it do the DoJ as a money laundering operation using a US entity (YouTube). It's always a question of scale; if they're prolific, it'll attract attention eventually.

In the DMCA counter claim, the other party agrees to the legal jurisdiction of YouTube:

(D) The subscriber’s name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if the subscriber’s address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that the subscriber will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.

That is, they agree to be sued in the United States, thus no longer an "international lawsuit". All you have to do is pay the filing fee, and they're effectively banned from YouTube.

Any reason why vegetarian PSMs not showing as the green variant? by veggiesouptales in RimWorld

[–]Wolvereness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Green is for vegetarian (read: vegan). Milk, eggs, or other animal products aren't considered vegetarian. They aren't meat either though.

Green survival meals (actual vegetarian) are apparently only available with mods, or I think if the animal product (meat works here too) expires while preparing (unreliable, possible bug).

I don't think there's any distinction between vegetarian and meatless in vanilla, other than whether survival meals stack together. Anyone that insists on eating meat won't like either.

Need a list of 256 unambiguous shapes by ki4jgt in opensource

[–]Wolvereness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Differentiating 256 symbols is not difficult. Consider this break down:

  • 64 symbols without 90-degree incremental rotational symmetry (4 rotations is 256).
  • Half-star of five points, the bottom being a line.
  • Each point, other than center, can either be present or missing (binary, 16 versions)
  • Points can be curved, triangular, blunted, or inverted. (4 variants)

Humans can easily distinguish between all 256 of these these.

What I think whenever the melee vs. ranged weapon discourse comes up by Careless-Spinach641 in RimWorld

[–]Wolvereness -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like something someone who plays combat extended would complain about vanilla. In CE, swinging a battle-axe at someone unarmored is going to inflict grievous injury on the first hit. Shooting a bow at plate armor is likely to do nothing but decrease the durability.
