It could happen that way. More often, the company can't or won't get them back.

Legally the time limit varies, but you generally do have to be arraigned by a judge within a certain amount of time from the arrest. You also have the right to a speedy trail, but that right is often waived. For both "clocks" there are a number of things that can pause or reset the clock, because nothing is really simple in a federalized system.

Also, according to judges, there are a number of policing actions that are being done in violation of the law, so they might violate the laws in other ways too.

I think the flat corn chips they produce are Doritos-branded, but I could be wrong.

They technically are unsafe. They screw with Seeing Eye Dogs.

I think this might be true. Do you know of any published studies on this?

Time travel is exclusively a cis white guy fantasy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-WHAISI02w (Anyone else would be shunned and probably killed as some sort of witch/demon.)

"A methodology and activities associated with running [...] an organization" -- https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/politics

Any organizational decision is politics, including but not limited to a group of people organizing a pizza meal.

It's a "programmable semicolon" or "decorated-function composition". I think most people that are confused about it, are trying to make it be more meaningful than it is. Haskell (?) just grabbed a math name so they'd have one word for it, because it's a useful class name there.

Everyone in a group voting what kind of pizza to order isn’t political

Yes, it literally is. That's what politics is: how we control group behavior.

Many IT people are hardcore libertarians who believe in some warped idea that they are where they are through their intelligence and hardwork while completely ignoring many of them come from backgrounds that afforded them the opportunities they are taking advantage of.

I was this person. It is possible to reform, but it takes genuine curiosity and willingness to be wrong. Neither of those is rewarded by the IT environment of the last 30 years.

100% agreed. Just accepting business from an "out and proud" fascist, even if the task you were doing for them was community service, could be normalizing their "brand" enough that it's not worth doing. Selling ad space/time is also very questionable; tho, you might offset that with bumpers that let people know you what you actually think of the persons that bought the ad. Nuance is the rule, and two people that agree on moral principles might still do the moral calculus for any particular trade differently.

But, I don't think we need to (e.g.) add field of endeavor restrictions to our software licenses just to deny bad actors the same access we give to all other users/distributors universally. I don't think morally repugnant persons should be left out of food or housing programs or UBI. The fact that morally disagreeable people can buy a Framework is totally immaterial. The fact that among all the (nigh innumerable) software projects that Framework uses, they choose to directly support one (or more) where the people taking control of those resources are morally disagreable is a concern.

I was looking for "congress", and while that is currently controlled by Republicans, there's been some Democrat congresspersons that have worked that side of the ratchet in the past.

I can't remove anything. I not a mod or admin of anything throughout the Fediverse. I think I can delete my own posts, but that might (and probably should) leave a deletion log similar to the edit log. (Actually the delete log should just be an edit log that ends with "DELETED".)

EDIT: The mod log says the comment violated rule 3. I think the part of your comment using a common name as an indirect insult might have not "be[en] excellent to" me, but that's just a guess.
