The standard of originality is low, but it does exist. … [T]he Constitution mandates some minimal degree of creativity … and an author who claims infringement must prove “the existence of . . . intellectual production, of thought, and conception.” Burrow-Giles.
Everybody go change your grub.cfg to change every entry title to read “I’m over 18 and I want to run Ubuntu” or “I’m over 18 and I want to run Arch”.
Then add an “I’m under 18” entry that does the “halt” Grub command.
This comment is more about FOSS than about 3D printing, but if you’re interested in GPL violations, you should know about the court case SFC v. Vizio. If it goes the way the SFC is pushing (and the courts have made a surprising amount of noises suggesting they’re broadly sympathetic to SFC’s arguments), ordinary end users will have a lot more leverage to push companies to honor the terms of the GPL and provide source code as required by the GPL. Every manufacturer of smart TVs, smartphones, game consoles – hell even robot vacuum cleaners, cars, and sex toys – if they include GPL’d code in those TVs, they’re required to provide source code to users on demand. As it is now, companies can (and do) flagrantly violate the “source code provision” requirement in the GPL. But this case could change that.
“TNPD” doesn’t roll off the tongue as well as “TACO”, but I’ll take it.
Yeah, took me a minute to catch that too.
It was always inevitable that Trump would soon force a massive Constitutional crisis.

Apparently my thing is sharing my favorite quotes from episodes as they happen now.
But the “we lose everything at the end” line that I think was somewhere between “1:15:00” and “1:20:00” was weighty as fuck. Huge kudos to Brennan.
Is there consensus on who would be best to migrate your “things” to? Maybe what do folks think of Printables?
I do more publishing than downloading. And I’m interested in one that’s in the spirit of FOSS. Friendly to permissive licenses. (Unfriendly to more proprietary licenses is a big plus IMO. I’m a fan of attribution and copyleft requirements. Noncommercial limitations, I’m relatively indifferent to.) Not enshittified and not likely to enshittify any time soon.
What was the part that didn’t fit?
It does appear that Ladybird has a grant from FUTO. (At least if their website can be trusted. They have a history of boosting their own image by implying relationships with projects/organizations/etc without the other organization knowing anything about it. But I think (probably?) the “Grants” section is more reliable than the “Microgrants” section on that score.)
But Tor and Signal and MicroG and Creative Commons have similarly received grants from FUTO and I wouldn’t think of them as projects that FUTO has undue influence on. (I’m pretty certain most of them preexisted FUTO, for one thing. Could be wrong on some of them. But I’m pretty certain none of those were “built by” FUTO the way, say, Grayjay was.)
But I’m still nervous about it. This might just be FUTO trying to bolster its own image by making it seem like they’re more responsible for Ladybird than they really are. (Mind you, I haven’t even watched the video because, like you, I think FUTO’s all absolute shitbags that I don’t want anything to do with.) But this post seem to be implying FUTO is more involved with Ladybird than I’d hope, if of course it can be trusted.
Just how associated with Ladybird is FUTO?
You can’t say “bitch” on a unicorn.
Priceless.
they refuse to use Jira because it’s “too complicated”
Honestly, based.

Nice code golf challenge.
Ah shit, what did they do this time?
I guess we’ll have to fork the latest Switch emulator again or whatever.
Oh. Carry on, Nintendo.
