Really? I think it's more that they don't get the social media and news traction that outrageous shit like their (minority extremist) opposition gets. Folks like Lander and Sanders regularly speak out about Israeli atrocities. Myriad organizations like JVP, INN, and more are among the most active organized voices trying to get this shit to stop. Bunds are popping up literally all over the world and fundamentally anti-Zionist and most stand in solidarity with Palestine. This narrative that Jews are silently condoning Israeli ethnosupremecist fascism is a made up one that serves only to benefit a minority of extremists and Zionists.

I dunno, I'm willing to admit I'm wrong and misinterpreted their post, but even rereading it and their other post in this thread really still feels like they're using Jews and Israelis/Zionists pretty interchangeabley.

Richard Stallman, the creator of the GPL, a "copyleft" license. The problem is that Open Source Software is entirely reliant on a strong copyright system to be enforced. There is nothing else that prevents companies from just keeping everything proprietary, even if it's all oss under the hood.

Just FYI, it's really weird to refer to Jews as Hebrews. And apartheid is inherent to the Israeli ethnostate, and fascism is inherent to political Zionism and always has been. This was a criticism levied at zionists, within the Jewish community, before world war 2 even.

That is not what judges have said. They've said that merely training on text is not a copyright infringement. However, companies that downloaded enormous amounts of pirated texts (i.e., stuff they did not have license to download in the first place) still infringed copyright just like anybody else. Effectively the courts have been holding that if you study material you have license to access, you aren't infringing, but if you pirate that material, even if it is merely to study it, it's still infringing. For better or worse this is basically basically how it's always been.

I have no idea what Trump is proposing. Like most republicans, but especially him, he is incapable of even approaching understanding of nuanced and technical areas of law and/or technology.

May he be a chandelier--so that he hangs by day and burns by night.

Few have been as deserving as this man of the old yiddish curse, "Zolst zayn vi a henglomp - hengn baytog un brenen baynakht."

I agree. I'm generally pretty indifferent to this new generation of consumer models--the worst thing about it is the incredible amount of idiots flooding social media witch hunting it or evangelizing it without any understanding of either the tech or the law they're talking about--but the people who use it so frequently for so many fundamental things that it's observably diminishing their basic competencies and health is really unsettling.

And if he doesn't walk it back, it effectively collapses the economy so not like market investments will mean jack shit anyhow

It's kind of mind blowing how dismissive of the ACA people are, even those who were aware before it went into effect. It wasn't by any means what it should have been, but medical access unequivocally improved vastly as a result of it.

Immigration judges aren't judicial judges, they are what are called administrative judges and do fall under the executive branch. That said, there is a lot of administrative law and procedure that is certainly still getting fucked by Trump/maga.
