Don't forget the increase in chudbucketness over time on here.

Just don't ask anybody too young, the generation who computes on smart phones and tablets doesn't even know what a file structure is.

The "it's a trap" moment for me:

        You acknowledge that we and our licensees, as content creators ourselves, might independently come up with content similar to something you create. If you have a claim that we breached this provision, or that one of our licensees did in connection with content they licensed from us:

        (a) Any such claim will be brought only as a lawsuit for breach of contract, and only for money damages. You expressly agree that money damages are an adequate remedy for such a breach, and that you will not seek or be entitled to injunctive relief.

        (b) In any such lawsuit, you must show that we knowingly and intentionally copied your Licensed Work. Access and substantial similarity will not be enough to prove a breach of this Section 3.

This basically says "We can still steal your work and sell it without giving you a dime, but if you want to object to that then you can't say so on social media or in the news, you have to do it in court (and in a particular way), and if you don't have the cash to take us on then you need to shut the hell up or it's going to be YOU that's in breach of contract and we can pull our permission for you to use the license."

Here's their rationale:

"Prop 30: Stop the Lyft Tax Grab
Increases income taxes to pay for zero emission vehicle subsidies and infrastructure improvements. It is funded by the Lyft Corporation to get taxpayers to pay for improvements. The tax increase side-steps current law that requires half of any new revenues to go to public education. It also doesn’t raise any additional money for health care and other essential services."

In general they're against taxes that are too specific because you can't reallocate where the funds go after the fact.

It was around 11%

Netcraft confirms it.

This was a ham-handed industry written law. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/...

Also I wrote a song called Caves of Steel.

Hey! I was thinking about you but had no way to get in touch. Ping me somehow!

Sorry I’ll do better next time my bad

I don’t know if she did, and don’t care. She was great and we were sad to see her go.

I left because the company was bought, and the new owners laid off some of its more expensive long-tenured employees, since they were putting the site effectively into maintenance mode, trying to sell if off. They just wanted to keep ThinkGeek and didn’t care to improve the other properties. I was forced out, but I was there a long time, and it was good for me to move on when I did.

So you did not read the story. OK.

So the text contradicts the headline: it is not about climate change, but about criticizing the company in public.

This is a fake news headline. Please fix it.

(I worked with Maren briefly. She was great to work with. I also worked at Slashdot for many years, and this headline is trash.)

If Wx isn't that large, I might take a stab at porting it... who knows. :)
