It’s not possible to patent a song.

Disney never held the copyright.

It’s been public domain since 2017 in Europe and since 2016 in the US and almost certainly long before.

It means that everything will be in equilibrium, and there will be no such thing as hot or cold. No energy to move from place to place to create the idea of hot or cold.

So I guess that means that it’d be cold but the concept would be meaningless.

There are many instances like that. Systemd vs system V init, x vs Wayland, ed vs vim, Tex vs latex vs lyx vs context, OpenOffice vs libreoffice.

Usually someone identifies a problem or a new way of doing things… then a lot of people adapt and some people don’t. Sometimes the new improvement is worse, sometimes it inspires a revival of the old system for the better…

It’s almost never catastrophic for anyone involved.

Not just Florida but yes.

Ignore the ruling until it is ”too late” then shrug and say, “Sowwy we ran out of time, guess we’ll have to just use the only maps we have”.

Disgusting ratfuckery.

I assume they’re going to ignore the ruling and use the maps anyway.

Probably, yeah. Depends on a few other things (drive age, SMART test results, how risk-averse you are…)

But at least it’s worth thinking about.

There’s a lot of options for which key to use for compose. And you can set right-alt to be that key very easily.

Well that went about as expected.

Eek!

But without human veal.

Nah it tastes fine. Too sweet for pouring over cereal though.

They are vague so they can be enforced arbitrarily and ignored when desired.

laser printers can print color but it’s a bit expensive up front.

Not the person you replied to, but Memmy and then Voyager once Memmy became unmaintained. I’m mostly happy with it, and it seems to generally improve with time.

Only complaint now is weirdness around sharing images with other apps: sometimes they show up as the image URL and sometimes as the actual image

I don’t think it was ever “in matters of taste” either, just a more general “sell what people will buy, not what you think people should buy.”

Semi-embedded shit like this is always astoundingly outdated.

They’re not wrong. The world now knows what Israel is, and some Americans like what they see.

Womp womp.

I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home, they’re not much bigger than 2 meters.

the thread still showed a score of around 1,300 points, meaning that it had been believed to be real by quite a few users.

Someone doesn’t understand belief or how upvotes, downvotes, or Reddit work.

That’s very true but “bland” means it’s lacking in flavor, not that it’s repetitive.

Personally I really enjoy good food too, but beans and rice are fine as far as flavor. And there’s plenty of other meals based on basic staples that can add variety.
