It means a GPLv3 project can use something licensed as CC BY-SA 4.0 by converting it to GPLv3, as is required. E.g using a CC BY-SA photograph as a background or a splash image in a program.
And while you technically can’t take the original, yeah, practically everything except “here is the image file alone in a folder” counts as modifying and a derivative work. Resize it, crop it, change a .png to a .jpg etc - all modify the original work.

CC BY-SA 4.0 is one way compatible with GPLv3.

It does mean that anything released under older CC SA licenses aren’t, so they can’t be used in GPL projects. And MIT isn’t compatible at all.

Emulation and emulators aren’t illegal. Yuzu for example got in trouble mostly for distributing tools for circumventing copy protection and dumping roms and not for the emulator itself.

But it doesn’t really matter as nobody has money to defend themselves against something like Nintendo. Here just even the threat of it was enough to get the Ryujinx devs to fold just in case.

If you set your pages and repositories to be viewed publicly, you grant each User of GitHub a nonexclusive, worldwide license to use, display, and perform Your Content through the GitHub Service and to reproduce Your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub’s functionality (for example, through forking). You may grant further rights if you adopt a license. If you are uploading Content you did not create or own, you are responsible for ensuring that the Content you upload is licensed under terms that grant these permissions to other GitHub Users. -https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service#5-license-grant-to-other-users

License can’t really revoke that.

#11 is also pretty great.

Bigger problem is the No Derivatives clause of the CC licence, as compiling or forking the code creates a derivative, so it’s now a project nobody is allowed to use (or distribute) in any other form than their exact, precompiled releases.

In fact, as the GitHub terms of service specifically require you to allow forking - as recently demonstrated by the WinAmp project - I wonder if CC ND is even possible to be used in GitHub in the first place.

When you are a paramilitary organization, the line between what is military equipment and what isn’t gets quite blurry. Especially when they weren’t really “boobytrapped”, they were turned into remote explosives and did nothing until explicitly triggered.

Thought sabotaging enemy equipment to explode isn’t.
Had this been a bunch of Russian or Wagner Group radio equipment exploding because they had been rigged by Ukraine, it wouldn’t be a war crime - combatants don’t stop being valid targets even if they are on leave and are at fault of endangering the civil population, possibly themselves causing a war crime by effectively using civilians as human shields.in the process.

The entire network is nuked in those situations, there are no accessible forks left.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said his estranged transgender daughter was “killed” by the “woke mind virus” after he was tricked into agreeing to gender-affirming care procedures.

“I lost my son, essentially. They call it ‘deadnaming’ for a reason. The reason they call it ‘deadnaming’ is because your son is dead.” https://eu.usatoday.com/story/tech/2024/07/22/elon-musk-jordan-peterson-interview/74506785007/

Nokia hasn’t actually made a mobile phone since 2014 after they sold their phone division to Microsoft, they just licence the name because it still sells.

For ghost of tsushima, all of them, as it has fsr3 and dlss 3 support.

Or the Seat Mii Electric, it’s even slightly more bare bones than the Citigo-e. Basically the VW group decided that instead of one car with three trim levels, they spread them under three different badges.
Though the dashboard is basically identical in each one (even the e-up) and what’s missing are parking sensors, cruise control, steering wheel buttons and stuff like that, so all of them fit the “not a smartphone on wheels” requirement.

Live Paper is not E-Ink, so it shouldn’t have the same inherent issues with ghosting or refreshing.

E-ink is a very specific display technology with ink particles floating in oil controlled by magnetic fields. They don’t explicitly state what this Live Paper exactly is, but they do state it’s something that solves the downsides of typical reflective LCDs, so, probably one of those but better.
Actual e-inks have the benefit of looking like ink blobs on paper and not square pixels, and the image staying even when power is completely removed, and the massive downside that because they are being physically moved, it actually takes a bit of time so they have terrible refresh rates.

Because the internet has made it both easier to do, and to enforce.

But it’s not a new thing at all, patents and copyrights have been enforced from pirates for well over a hundred years. This is from 1906

They should. But you can’t exactly be surprised if you get in trouble because you broke the law, no matter how stupid you think that law is.
I think it’s stupid that you can’t always turn right on a red light. Plenty of people would agree. I’ll get a ticket if I do it anyway, and it’ll be my own fault.

Libraries buy either physical books, or licenses to ebooks, and can only lend out as many of them as they own at a time. IA skirted the line by lending out self-digitized versions based on how many physical books they had, which was a grey area, but technically maybe not illegal.
They then disabled that lending limitation.

There’s really nobody who would argue that taking a CD, ripping it to MP3s, and providing those for unlimited download is anything except piracy, and the people suing IA are claiming same goes for books. And it is rather hard to find a compelling legal reason why it isn’t.

Don’t worry, in the event of a malfunction you can just detach the cargo, so now you have two apartment building sized things falling from the sky to completely unpredictable random locations squishing anything they land on top of.

“I’m new to this Teams thing, but I’m now WFH so, yes.”

All are still on WebKit, as that’s all Apple has allowed so far. Having other engines running on iOS is still far off, if it ever happens as it’s a ton of work.

Especially as iirc it would only work for EU users anyway, because Apple is being as huge of a dick as it possibly can be.
