Well, that assumes “organized gang” and “ICE” are mutually exclusive….

The goal here is to exhaust the courts so that eventually stuff will start to slip through uncontested, isn’t it?

Is it a blind spot? They did discover and shut down those Chinese “police stations” in Germany….

I think the first will be contingent on the second?

The writing was on the wall when Serif sold the product to Canva. We already knew Canva used a rent seeking model at the corporate level, so it didn’t really matter what promises they made about what they’d do with Affinity.

This frustrates me so much.

I paid for v1 and v2 of the suite precisely because I’m willing to pay for a tool that works for me, predictably and reliably and with no compromise in goals. Now I’ll have to switch platforms yet again, because they’re going to monetize somehow, and if it’s not by taking my money, it’ll be by taking something else.

Is Inkscape a reasonable replacement for Illustrator yet? Is there an equivalent for InDesign?

I don’t want to get stuck in a Canvas walled garden, and I’m not going to pay rent to use software.

No taxation without representation.

A shut down government isn’t representing anyone. So it should come out of taxes.

Well, they weren’t working anyway. China currently has full access to the US network with no ability to fix the situation beyond ensuring all content is encrypted and over LTE.

Only the president though, and I don’t see HIM wielding cans of mace and tear gas cannisters.

Which peers?

I for one am perplexed; what is that company actually getting out of these affiliate signups? Even after people start paying, it’s costing them more than they’re making, and when they finally charge maintainable rates, everyone can just stop subscribing and lose nothing of value.

Well, after a judge had married the first couple, you’d think it would get a bit awkward.

How many people can a judge legally marry, anyway?

My regular walking speed is 8km/h… when I run distances it’s ~13km/h, and if I’m sprinting it can be over 20km/h.

They’re essentially saying the speed limit is set to swimming pool deck speeds.

And then there’s fabrication. Where are you going to build your components and assemble the products?

That’s optimistic.

In reality ot would make the people who control the government VERY rich.

I heard he wanted to construct two joined triumphal arches? Made of gold? To commemorate his good friend Ronald (not Reagan).

We’ve had two whole generations of people using acetaminophen during pregnancy. Why have we not seen a massive uptick in autism to match? After accounting for increased screening and changes in definition and attribution, there’s a slight rise in autism rates that doesn’t align at all with acetaminophen use.

And where are the J&J studies showing that the supposed link was known to that particular company?

They’d do much better targeting plastic and PFAS manufacturers, as their products are known to cause the cellular mutations that can lead to cancer and autism.

And one of the biggest departments that expanded massively at many companies during the pandemic? HR. So now there’s a LOT of HR and hiring staff being made redundant in the tech industry.

I have Apple Maps, Google Maps, OpenStreets, Organic Maps and Sidekick Pro installed on my phone. Used do use Google until they started getting creepy and Apple Maps started getting decent; then switched to Apple Maps as my default.

If this goes through, Organic Maps becomes the default with Sidekick for car navigation/recorder.

It was Chuck Norris, wasn’t it?
