A video doorbell sales dude tried giving me one for free. I said “I don’t want your company to spy on my neighbors so they can hand it off to the cops without my say-so” and he looked at me like I’m stupid.

Spoiler: Nothing about the big boom or that trip was on it (as designed, lol), but it’s cool that it survived.

yeah you are very likely too old to get it

How are they going to collect? Extradite to pay a fine? No theyre just going to block it and be done. The UK will never see one penny from 4chan imo, no mayter how much they beg

man I miss veep. one of the funniest shows Ive seen

which is why their laws aren’t proper copyright laws, yes

I guess thats not a threat? Not sure what else youd classify that as. “If you step on our turf you’re going to be jailed” is just peaceful language haha

Extort, you mean. The law threatens them with abduction and being held in captivity.

This is why the web is way better than any app store, yes even with the problems of DNS (DIDs becoming more prevalent cant come fast enough though). Any future phones should have a first class web experience imo.

Edit: I wanna add that browser monopolies are a real threat too. Ladybird is legit on Charlie Kirk’s side aka nonpolitical so not a fan of the outlook there. Would love to see KDE fork chromium/blink with valve money and recreate Konquerer and bring back KHTML (I like irony). Valve even has a fork of CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework, electron uses this as well) because of Steam and its ui being a big web app. KDE then has web apps and add them to Discovery, or you can build qt apps. Make it happen valve! And hire me to help lol

Ice block couldve been a web app

I need you to show me exactly the words in the link you provided that implies you can be granted a patent with prior art existing beyond the 1 year grace period from the effective filing date.

What you posted states the opposite :) I agree with you, though—prior art means you can’t patent it. The person I’m responding to believes otherwise.

Linux with LUKS can be configured to decrypt at boot

I don’t see anywhere in 102(a)(1), 102(a)(2), or in the exception clauses of 102(b)(1)(A) or in 102(b)(1)(B) that would imply prior art not including public disclosures (there is a 1 year grace period, but it is not forgiving).

The examples in that presentation show clearly that you can’t patent someone else’s invention if it were public knowledge beyond the 1 year grace period and only the inventors have the right to disclose it within that period and still be granted a patent.

If the thing I want to patent existed 1 year ago and was made available in a way it could have invented what I wanted to patent, and it wasn’t me, the alleged inventor, who made that publicly available version, I don’t get the patent.

I can patent something that has no prior art from more than a year ago. I can patent something with prior art within one year if that prior art was made available by only me.

I need you to show me exactly the words in the link you provided that implies you can be granted a patent with prior art existing beyond the 1 year grace period from the effective filing date.

Why would a Windows favor hyprland as their first ever linux compositor over a windows like one like KDE? When a bug happens, who do they complain to? DHH? Or will they just abandon linux and call it shit?

Yeah… DHH is one of the last people’s opinions I’ll listen to lol

Hope people who use omarchy are happy, it really feels like an ADHD project he’ll burn out on but we’ll see. Then again, I’ve already been using linux for ever, so he has nothing to sell me honestly. A vast majority of devs use VS Code. Why would they switch to vim? Anyone who already has a preferred non-vim editor… why would they use omarchy? They’ll hate it and just say linux sucks because it requires a weird vim install.

And plus, his announcement video on stage basically said the whole point of Omarchy is so he can make sure his expensive employees aren’t killing his profit margins by wasting precious wealth generation time setting up their laptops to develop rails apps. Don’t really care for that being the whole purpose of a distro.
