And how exactly does that fix the issue with the client going against the spirit (if not the law) of the GPL?

I found out not long ago that I can’t donate blood in the US because I’m British and lived here during the 1990’s so could theoretically be carrying mad cow disease.

Wasn’t there also very recently a whole thing about the single guy who maintains the NTP spec threatened to retire so he could get a “real” job, which caused a gigantic internet-wide panic as pretty much everything we do relies on computer’s clocks being perfectly synced?

Yeah this pretty much. Why would I drive a car? it’s a huge waste of money for absolutely no benefit to my life.

I’ve considered learning/getting my licence just to have it “just in case”, that way at least if that once every few years thing comes up where I absolutely need a car and a taxi just won’t cut it, I can hire one or something? but it’s just kind of not come up yet.

My Xperia 10 III has it up top. Damaged more than one cable by just jamming it in my pocket upside-down then realising the cable’s getting smushed up. Note to self: Get headphones with 90 degree cable connectors

They’re “self driving” in the worst possible way - they can run off on their own and do whatever they want, and have little understanding of the rules of the road. People already freak out when a robotaxi takes an inadvertent wrong turn, horses can freak out and try to kill pedestrians.

Ah yes because no one has ever “”“accidentally lost control”“” of their car and smashed something/someone to pieces with it!

I’d take the mounds of horse shit on the streets over the disgusting stench of cars any day. At least I can scoop some up and spread it on my garden.
