The point is that a mob or gang of armed vigilantes pushing an extreme political agenda is NOT a well regulated militia. But those are the people holding up the second amendment. Ordinary citizens outside of the context of a well regulated militia have been outside of the scope of the second amendment until the rise of the NRA in the middle of the 20th century.

At first, militia were formed in response to war. There were no standing army until well after the US was formed. The closest we have to a well regulated armed militia as envisioned by the second amendment are our state national guards. The second amendment was created before the concept of a US standing army.

So second amendment extreme absolutists are saying that any effort to make guns safer violates our right to have guns. Not to mention that the second amendment has been historically interpreted to apply to "well regulated militia" until fairly recently in supreme court rulings.

The article compares Photography, (which despite being "created" by nature is copyrightable), to AI art. The difference between AI art and photography is that AI art is derivative of other artists and generalized into a Model. Nature is not derivative of other photography. Derivative work has special exemptions in copyright law which prevents it from being subject to copyright.

I wonder how much of this is caused by Ukrainian strikes to refineries, storage tanks, and pipelines? (Not to mention diversion of Russian fuel to their war vehicles)

Hardly a U-Turn. If a developer uses Unity's next release LTS version, then they would still be subject to the runtime fees. So developers still must migrate off Unity, but have a little more time to do so.

Sure. Seems like a fine way to prepare beans.

By holding the opponent's lance between her legs in her crotch, she both pleasures herself, and prevents further attacks by her opponent.

Republicans WANT something catastrophic. They are opposed to government "in general" and would be fine seeing the corporate billionaires take over completely without any government in the way.
