I know. It's a verbal shorthand.

That is definitionally not plagiarising. It follows IP law, which is the opposite of plagiarism.

MIT/BSD also makes the most sense for small/minimal projects where GPL is likely overkill. A 100 line script does not need to be GPL'ed. A small static website does not need to be GPL'ed.

It's not "stealing". It's explicitly allowed. Using IP according to its licence is the opposite of stealing.

I never made a MS account, so I no longer own Minecraft since they stopped accepting Mojang accounts. Sometimes I wish I had just bit the bullet and made one so I can still own Minecraft—I know I can pirate it, but it's less convenient, and also I don't know how well pirated Minecraft works with multiplayer. In any case I've just not played Minecraft in a long time, and not since Minecraft stopped accepting Mojang logins.

I am surprised you can't transfer your licence to another account though. Since when they were making the switch to Microsoft accounts, they let you just transfer your licence from Mojang onto any old MS account.

Ultimately it's up to you. I guess in your shoes I would be more erred towards deleting just because of all that personal information sitting around. Of course you can't guarantee MS will "forget" it, but storage costs money, and they likely don't want to keep around all your old data when most of it is not very profitable data to have. In my case, in hindsight, I'm now erring on the side of wishing I had just made an account, since there'd be no other data tied to that account and I wouldn't have used it for anything other than Minecraft.

Do they get therapy in their benefits package?

This kind of moderation is generally outsourced to people in the global south paid pennies. And no, they don't get therapy.

At least use an archive link if you're going to share the Daily Mail

A centrist mainstream national newspaper to be aware of what the political mainstream is concerned about.

Al Jazeera for international news.

Articles sent to me by friends and comrades for news on more specific matters that may not make more mainstream news.

And groupchats and internal publications of organisations I'm in for both more politically-relevant news (eg news of local strikes that often aren't otherwise reported on) and commentary.

Reading articles and books

I don't know about the US specifically, but oftentimes, and definitely where I'm from, laws can have a small amount of "common sense" leeway and judges can find justifications for rulings if they want to rule a particular way. e.g. I have pirated games that I legally bought because there's literally no functioning "official" download link anymore, if anyone were to ever prosecute me for that, even if it were illegal technically a judge could find a way to rule it lawful out of sympathy or whatever other reason, if they wanted to. A lot of the time it's "the government can't have possibly intended this law to be enforced this way, therefore I rule XYZ".

In any case, as you said, I've never heard of anyone being pursued for that. And if it's not enforced, it's not a law.

You likely also participate in rituals that were taught to you that are not solely grounded in logic or science. Do you do things in a certain order for no reason other than your parents taught you to do so? Do you avoid eating certain foods because you never ate them growing up?

People who are raised religious may not be fanatic believers, but they may still be "culturally religious" e.g. take part in Ramadan, avoid eating pork, because that's the way they grew up, and a lot of the time it means they can be included in cultural matters of the community they come from.

As for why some people are proper religious, fully believing and all, I also don't think all beliefs have to be rational. Some beliefs are comforting. If it helps someone to get through a difficult time by believing there's a higher power rooting for them, or who has pre-planned their suffering for a greater good, they may choose to believe that because it's mentally easier. Arguably that is a rational belief anyway because it benefits you and makes your life easier to get through.

Nice. Are you posting to Lemmy from the terminal? Also how did you take this screenshot?

It's a relatively new thing. i was watching YT for years with Mullvad with no issues then late last year started getting blocked. Right now I can only watch on either NewPipe or on the official web client while logged in.

No. I've noticed that I shouldn't cook or eat red food with a white top but I bought an apron for that reason. Outside of cooking and eating, I've not had any problems with stains.

Also stains are not a huge deal. I only get rid of clothes if they are completely falling apart and not fixable with a sewing machine.

I never use flatpaks and am doing just fine. I don't want my packages to be installed from a bunch of different places; I want it all managed by one package manager, which for me is my distro package manager. I've never noticed a problem arising out of not using flatpaks; everything I want is either already packaged for me, or I can make a package myself.

I represent myself in all my cases :)

Great news for defendants though. I hope at my next trial I look over at the prosecutor's screen and they're reading off ChatGPT lmao

Cops confiscate devices all the time without good reason lmao. It's commonplace to seize devices on a person upon arrest. Judges also grant search warrants upon very little evidence too. Cops absolutely don't need to "prove" anything to a judge to get a warrant; there is no standard of proof at all; it's a standard of evidence, which is not the same thing as proof, and a low standard of evidence at that.

No. I don't think it grows quickly enough to be able to make a noticeable difference to temperature
