Was about to post this. There is a fact check here: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/04/26/fact-check-false-claim-male-and-female-watermelons/7366708001/ No such thing as male or female watermelons.

I find it funny that a lot of the fediverse is anti-cryptocurrency, yet this is a perfect example of a problem cryptocurrency can solve. No one can stop you from transacting on a number of blockchains.

While this is great postering; this is a law that will undoubtedly be ignored due to the rendition clause of the US Constitution.

Edit: after looking into this some more there is an argument that if someone has conclusively never been in the requesting during the offense, another state cannot request rendition, see Hyatt v People (1903). It was reaffirmed in Michigan v. Doran (1978).

Based on precedent there has to be no evidence whatsoever that a person was present in the state. It cannot be a question of fact or alibi for the crime itself. Ie., if a state asserts the person was present in the state and the person asserts they were not as an alibi defense, the person would still need to be extradited and can assert the alibi defense in their trial.

I think based on this reading my initial take was wrong, but I am not so sure how true this is with some more modern enactments like the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act.

Here is a law review article that discusses related issues in more depth: https://academicworks.cuny.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1558&context=clr#:~:text=Without%20intervention%2C%20anti%2Dabortion%20states,the%20people%20that%20support%20them.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a router I should buy before this comes into effect? Would prefer one that is open source or can run an open OS.

Can a raspberry pi be used to make a router?

I gladly vote for politicians who will pass climate laws and regulations, but individual actions by me will not change anything.

This would be fair use. Has already been decided https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_LLC_v._Oracle_America,_Inc.

Arguably the trademark issue has not been exactly resolved but I think this case will be very persuasive.

In KYC systems it is really easy to acquire—companies are willing to sell it to you with no problems.

If you want to get it anonymously, the easiest would probably be to buy via cash. In Switzerland, you can buy via some atms

Yes you are right, there are always grifters everywhere, unfortunately.

This comment is completely correct. This rule would apply here.

First time I’ve heard of this Portuguese policy. Any recommendations for any papers analyzing or discussing this in more details?

Section 1201(f) of the DMCA allows for interoperability; I’m sure Valve’s lawyers will figure it out

Don’t miss the one next year in April

Currants are delicious and I wish we had them here more often

Okay I think current precedent is consistent with your view; thank you for providing an opportunity to learn more about the extradition clause. Constructive presence is not currently considered in the context of the extradition clause.

Do you know how this will affect existing installations? Is this gnome only or any desktop?

Thanks for sharing this! As a new lemmy user I did not know this. The page you linked to says any admin in the federated universe has access to this information. What’s to stop someone from making their own server to get access to this information?

To add to this, here is another model that seems to aim to to be a poor man’s chatgpt: https://huggingface.co/togethercomputer/GPT-NeoXT-Chat-Base-20B

I have dug into this issue in a bit more depth and I think California has more of a ground to stand on than I originally thought. See the edit to my top level comment.

Why do I need the network switch?

Morally I am in complete agreement with you. I just think the US law is a lot more nuanced.
