I just don't see how vandalizing artwork helps the cause. Please explain it to me.

Reading this non-paywalled article, it seems like the Georgia Supreme Court was consistent with previous rulings regarding electors versus candidates.

You seem to be ok with causing harm unrelated to the action taken. This is just identifying what that line is.

So people can go randomly punch the homeless? It won't matter in the end if we are all dead due to climate change.

My soils lab was the most fun lab in college.

There isn't an inherent financial reason for contributing to Creative Commons work the way there is for Open Source.

Major companies will contribute some development resources to Open Source software because they will get a concrete benefit and the overall effort will be cheaper than going with a closed source option. There really isn't the equivalent for Creative Commons media.

My guess is if some companies are willing to have some full time remote positions, they are going to hire from LCOL areas with poor workers rights.

Metal and grunge still happened in a music video era.

I think a bigger thing that happened was the collapse of the CD. From that point, the new acts that the industry seemed to focus on were individuals instead of groups.

I'm not that surprised. Supplying the Ukraine War has shown that most NATO countries do not have the ability to contribute with any meaningful industrial capacity. Fixing this would require a lot of supply chain building.

England sacrificed a lot for their two world wars and one world cup.

I can live with it.

It kind of does.

You get user lock-in as users buy more games, making it so Steam is always a store to buy from. You can't deplatform from Steam. At that point, you can't replace Steam with another DRM platform to pay existing games. That creates a large customer base which becomes a must add for vending new games.

It isn't a hard monopoly, but it helps create a soft monopoly.

 

The Gaza Strip seems very poorly served by the Palestinian Authority, let alone Israel. But, the area has relatively stable borders and it would likely have a stable government in Hamas. So, what if Gaza just declared independence as the government with sole control over the Gaza Strip?

Would Gaza get recognized by other countries? Could it parlay the recognition into forcing a permanent peace with Israel as becoming a recognized country puts Israeli treatment of it into more known sections of international law?

 

Help me, help me make it go.
