Ancient ‘Who owns Linux?’ case now has one foot very deep in the grave

｢ The long legal battle over ownership of Linux is closer than ever to ending, after a panel of three judges ruled a claim against IBM and Red Hat isn’t valid, and that time has expired for further action ｣

@AnarchoNinaWrites This pleases me. If a bank doesn't hate you, are you even trying? ;)

@pkw

ImageMagick has been a part of my personal toolkit for *years*. I'm excited by a tool reported to be more consistent, faster, and made by people.

@mattblaze Maybe. When I see Hakeem Jeffries apparently colluding with Jared Kushner, it feels like the situation has materially changed. For the much worse.

Did we just invade the wrong country?

@codinghorror Wait — are you saying They Live will stream then?

Goodnight my dear friends

Jack Conte promoting the transformation of patreon into social media (uh but not like those other ones though, somehow) by using the word "enshittification" should, imo, put that term to rest. it's dead. it's been fully recuperated by capital and startup culture, vampirically drained of vitality.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Vance called Canada "a state" and then immediately said that was a Freudian slip.

Like, buddy, that's not Freudian slips work...

He basically admitted that the US government already considers it a foregone conclusion that Canada will become a state.

@todb I understand about Texas. As I said, today's ruling shouldn't alter anyone's plan for how they should vote, but there may be other considerations in particular states.

Now that the dust has settled on the Canada US trade breakdown, it turns to us, Canadians everywhere, to take the next steps. If Prime Minister Carney characterizes this as a war, then we become the soldiers. Our weapons are not rifles and drones but wallets and credit cards. Our strategic objective: as complete a boycott of US products and services as possible.
Fortunately, we’ve been in training now for months. And we’re getting damn good at this. We know the drill. We’ve been meticulously choosing Canadian-made products at our local stores. We pester their owners to provide ever more Canadian choices and clearer labelling. We’ve avoided travel south of the border. We’re finding alternatives for online services. So our tactical objective is to continue on, to double down, to strengthen the resolve.
To arms! To elbows!

This is my second favorite octopus story (that they can use coconuts as armor)

My favorite one is that some octopus lead groups of fish in hunting together, and punch the fish that act up
