Has it ever occurred to these pillocks that if pharmaceutical companies could get away with it, they would probably just do fuck all and pocket the funds?

New people, welcome to a place where shit is in chronological order

The COVID-19 bill is released and hidden in it are two *enormous* copyright provisions; the Tillis bill that creates a jail felony for streaming infringements, and the "CASE act" that creates a totally new low-friction DMCA-takedown-like court that can levy five-digit fines for…well, pretty much anything, without the checks on abuse a normal court has or (to my read) adequate notice to targets they were even sued.

These have real potential to harm average Internet users.

A while back I signed up for a service and wanted a semi anonymous user name.

1. I needed a string that was easy to remember.
2. This whole thing seems silly.
3. Silly String was used in war to find tripwires.
4. Silly String is a popular product. When searched for they will find this and not me maybe.

So I start using sillystring everywhere as my user name. I tell my ex girl and she starts laughing. 😊

Apparently nobody looks at this like I do. 🤷🏻‍♂️

don't punish students for needing more time! I've had to argue so much with other instructors because their instinct is to craft their syllabus like a dang obstacle course. (also get rid of closed-book sit-down exams)

"my skin feels things 15 centimeters off base to the left, help pls"

a lot of stories of pure perfect sensory integration in a virtual reality and not enough stories about the early days of development where bugs like "everything feels like sand paper" and "lilacs are fine, but roses smell like dumpsters" are common

My access to this resource on the metal-globe-wide-web has been DENIED by this guy (a goalie I guess) with a giant padlock.
