I am confused, why you mess with the voltage of sata cables?

I have no doubt that in law and the wealth of microsoft to argue in court that could indeed do that.

But my point is that there was an established public agreement with mojang. It could be raised as a legal defence that you where given permission pre-microsoft.

And also that this law is dumb as fuck.

Here is a screenshot of infiniminer (2009)

You could show that to people and they would say it looks like minecraft,

If infiniminer has sued during the minecraft browser version days it would never even have gotten the chance to become what it is now.

It does not matter that this is a Minecraft clone, there are hundreds of them and mojang has always been fine with them.

Minecraft itself is inspired and started as a clone of infiniminer.

The general rule has always been “as long as it does not use assets or code made by mojang” its fine and they wont care or sue.

Unless this tree is using a stolen texture from the game there is nothing that makes this more illegal then the thousands of cloned already out there.

Of course a doubt microsoft would respect such, they shown their hands when they presumed ownership over the now open sourced end poem.

TIL that the brand was first bought by a swiss company and then pretty quickly after in 1990 that swiss company was bought by a US company.

Here i was assuming this was a valuable export for Belgium but they haven’t seen any of the profits in over 30 years…

There is a chocolate law in Belgium about the required minimum cacao % that most of the chocolate in the world does not meet.

Isnt Cote d’or made in the chocolate capital that is Belgium?

Some of the others shown don’t even have the minimum cacao requirement to be legally sold as chocolate according to Belgium law.

Big brother called, you weren’t supposed to leak this hack.

If only they did work into the future then they could have stopped you from spilling the beans.

For own personal growth or the general benefit of my local society absolutely.

Don’t even need a salary as long as the means to live happy are otherwise provided.

For the profit of a corporation? No, yuck!

I am just assuming but would this not very dependent on the like of work?

Its probably fine for most things but lets say forensic lab or virus research?

Just a pitch: Tail can easily be detached and works as a walking cane.

I do petty every physically sensative individual that has to take overcrowded public transport though

I don’t mind people use ai to help with writing and text but chatgpt has such an annoying and pretentious voice i could not finish reading.

None.

Or simply reject proprietary clones all together and go back to the OG public domain versions: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mau-Mau_(card_game)

FIY: this is also why Uno corporate gets its panties in the a that people are playing their game wrong. Once people realise any card can have any function the illusion falls.

Your example is about physical goods.

Software is at its core just digital information a computer can use.

Knowledge/Information (that is not personal information) should be free.

You can make a argument that software developers still must sell copies of their code to make a living but if you look at the reality of software that appears to simply be some kind of bias. You can make software that is free and still make a living they are just not always related.

The software that runs the world’s infrastructure is increasingly FOSS, from critical cybersecurity to vending machines. Even big corporations are increasingly getting involved in using and making open source components for their proprietary fronts.

As a linux user everything i need can be done legally with free software, not only is it free is most of the times vastly superior then a paid product.

Ever needed software on windows to find the installer got bundled with spyware and then the final program turns out to be a trial before Requiring a subscription? That is only because they need to make money.

On linux, you install it, it’s only the thing you actually need, and it works. No bloat, no enshitification. Some person or group realized there was value to be created, created it and as a result the entire world won collectively.

I have a few products of my own that i hope to publish some day and i already vouched to never make them proprietary, My dad called me insane not to try to profit. I call it nothing but ethical to make the best value for humanity that i can. My very common office job provides enough liveable wage and work/life balance for my family and still find time to do such.

Completely different genre but the Stabley Parable checks all of these.

100 years in the future and it will be just as perfect.

Mojang themselves came forward with an explanation.

Supposedly career lawyers will just jump ship and contest literally anything that might have even a chance of sticking. Regardless on wether they actually want to go to court, there is basically zero downsides to making legal threats and those lawyers feel like they are paid for doing exactly that.

Mojang contacted Bethesda and they settled the matter through a counter strike game.

Personally i believe mojang did the math and saw that regardless of any outcome this was an opportunity for free publicity for the new game.

I fully agree such claim are ridiculous and actually intellectual property is one step away from thought police but in this specific scenario there was no victim, damage or harm.

I always liked the idea of being a tree like life form.

My apologies, i thought your reply was against @Xartle s comment.

They basically said the addition protection is not necessary because common security measures cover it.

I believe you misread their comment. They are saying if you leave your doors unlocked your part of the problem. Because these ai lock picks only look for open doors or they know how to skip locked doors
