Marshall has copyright on his lyrics, you just said yourself patents and copyright are different things.

Sufficiently different rip-offs that don't confuse consumers as being the original should be legal. They already are as far as copyright is concerned.

Many design patents should never have been registered, and should lose when defended in court. Design trademarks are a third similar issue.

It doesn't actually matter too much. They use mostly our data, so legally I think it's ODBL too, and we can import anything genuinely useful they do.

Overture is a separate project so they can add stuff OSM doesn't want like data generated from imagery that is not checked by people. That might make Overture better in areas where osm data is sparse. They can also restrict other things only import tags they like, or merge some tags that mean similar things to make it easier for data consumers.

I think they swapped out thumb sticks and fans at some point before OLED? It wasn't a major thing.

You wouldn't smell it if it was pure air. It's VOCs from the inks, plastics, solder flux, thermal paste, etc

My homeserver runs Debian with Freedombox, and I'm using their GnuDIP ddns service, but it's for free subdomains, not your own.

I used to have a script to update my own domain in Gandi console. I only stopped because I didn't really need a domain for my home.

It's good for email and personal sites (those aren't dead, but they're more popular for people that either write a lot or are self-employed). I'd only use a personal domain for self hosted apps if the users are just you and your family.

For something like hosting Lemmy, with users you don't know, I wouldn't use the same domain as where you host your other personal stuff, even if it's not your name.

I tried it. If I count everything I pay periodically (more bills than subscriptions) I get to 13 things, and the monthly total was slightly higher than I thought due to yearly stuff like school.

Maybe it's just not for me. I'm not big on budgeting (I only really budget things that don't fit in last month's wage) . Used to do YNAB for about two years (the offline version you could buy on Steam) a lot of work for no benefit.

Even if you do properly budget, I don't see the value of this over using a spreadsheet.

Yes multiple gas stations, car washes, tankers, and as a sponsor for Ferrari race cars. Similar deals with Exxon and Esso.
Since the 90s it's all their fictional Octan brand instead

I'm sure there must be some edible plants that like salt?

Well it's not the very rich, they're not paying inheritance tax either way.

From all the news and jokes I thought it was at least serious (like the Love Parade crush, or the storm at Pukkelpop) But it was just muddy?
