This seems like mental gymnastics

California Lawmaker Wants to Hardcode 3D Printers With 'Firearm Blocking' Tech The legislation is meant to prevent the proliferation of 3D-printed guns. But Adafruit, a provider of do-it-yourself computer parts, says it risks imposing 'useless surveillance software.'

Dems love proving they’re no better than republicans by attacking multiple freedoms at once

Lmao the only thing liberals hate more than a fascist is doing anything about fascists

Ahhh, makes sense.

CompTIA A+? More targeted at like, Helpdesk techs etc. who probably wouldn’t touch Linux systems often in their day to day, not too surprising.

Just wish the democrats would’ve done something, anything to stop it

Just start shooting skeet but throwing the clays straight at you

The authorities have been very trustworthy with a monopoly on power and violence historically, you see

I think letting the pedophile party inspect women’s genitals is bad actually

Don’t ever let up on democrats for wanting all the same horrific shit so long as they don’t have to see it in the New York Times

Guess they feel pretty safe, which probably isn’t totally unwarranted

I think the distinction between ‘taking’ and ‘copying’ is important but your point is not unreasonable.

I think the payment from ai companies is reasonable, pragmatically. They’re going to scrape that shit either way - if the largest free repository of knowledge gets a kickback for it that’s good

Like for example there is 0 chance I will ever pay for a New York Times subscription in my life - if I read one of their articles on a paywall alternative site I have not deprived them of anything

That’s not really what I said but ok lol

The law (and more importantly the language) differentiate piracy and theft, so regardless of your opinion on either they are not one and the same

If they aren’t doing anything about it (as you have correctly identified) - they are explicitly ok with it

If I steal your wallet from you, I have deprived you of your wallet. If I make a copy of your digital media, I havent deprived you of anything.

I dont find the “lost potential profit” argument convincing

Particularly if you pirate something you never would have paid for in the first place.

Except that piracy is explicitly not theft lmao

Nah dude they need the height over bore for NODs

You are dramatically overestimating the quality and quantity of training the average soldier, and especially cop, does.

Bo Nix breaking his ankle immediately after knocking the Bills out of the playoffs is some kind of cosmic joke. Fuck man just give it to Buffalo - better they go to the Super Bowl than the fucking Patriots

WE'RE HEADED TO HOST THE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!

I find this exceedingly hard to believe.

So what - you only want a little bit of secret police? Abolish this shit

WHERE IS MY GOT DANG 10MM SOCKET‽

I believe in ICE superposition personally

Might be better off over there soon enough lmao

100% this - a well trained coward is still a coward. And a murderer, in this case.

See this a lot in tech bros too, shit is tiring

Starting to feel like a big enough part of the US population lives in their own separate fantasy reality that there’s just no coming back from it now lmao

How do you even begin to have a discussion with someone who slavishly believes the words of Great Leader over their own eyes
