More expected than impressive. They didn't invent warped moral frameworks but they do buy from the market leader. The accusations aren't to convince people to leave the other team, it's to allow people to justify taking those actions themselves. Stochastic vote manipulation of you will.

Which just goes to show his lack of presidential authority. - magas (I expect.)

The "This one neat trick big water won't tell you about" to "the government can't tell me not to dig my well next to my latrine" pipeline (aquaduct?) is real.

I'm also depressed though.

Don't even need to wait that long if you listen to some of the high weirdness folk.

Do you think quoting Hosea 8:7 is a little too on the nose?

I'm not sure if this would strictly be a SLAPP rather than general litigious bullying (GLiB has a nice ring to it actually.)

In this respect though open sourcing it was a good move. Even if the creator were to be blocked from distributing, it's out there.

Maybe, though I feel like this is a pretty extreme solution. It is the government though.

The thing about legal threats is that they can work even if the theory they are based on isn't any good. Fee-shifting isn't always guaranteed, if it is available at all. Capital has already budgeted for its lawyers this year, have you?

The amount of times I've heard someone say 'its for the farmers' as if farmers have ever given a fuck what the clock says.

Labour conditions shouldn't need regulation, we should just recognise another being's suffering.

Though if we are going to have governments, they might as well do something useful.

My point is, for about the cost of an easy solution (that, frankly is a lot harder to undo if done wrong) you could equip them to do it right, practice the skill you want to inspire and not plant the false idea that soldering is some difficult thing that the beginner should avoid.
