01:27 DaemonFC; <immibis> SAT*
01:27 DaemonFC; Go to trade school for something they can get a job doing.
01:27 DaemonFC; What most people should do anyway.
01:28 DaemonFC; Stallman said something right, at one point.
01:28 DaemonFC; College and student loan interest have gotten so badly unaffordable (and most degrees are useless) that unless you plan to be a doctor or a lawyer, you're usually better off to go work at Walmart until and unless things change.
01:28 DaemonFC; He didn't say it exactly like that.
01:29 DaemonFC; But just going and getting a job and at least not having any loan debt is best right now.
01:29 DaemonFC; The US imports a lot of doctors too.
01:29 DaemonFC; Mostly Indians.
01:30 DaemonFC; While the hospitals get 20% more expensive every year under Democrat-care, they bust wages by bringing these people in.
01:32 DaemonFC; Between Obamacare passing in 2009 and 2022, the cash price to go to the doctor went from $70-80 to about $460.
01:34 DaemonFC; All they focus on are health insurance premium costs as the benchmark for whether insurance is affordable.
01:35 DaemonFC; So each year, they raise your deductible another $1,000 and remove another 30 prescription drugs off their formulary, and tell you that you can't see your doctor anymore because they wanted another $3 per visit.

19:22 schestowitz; "I disagree. I don't think companies should be able to shutdown commentary they don't like by taking domain names from others. I haven't looked at Daniel's site, but even if I thought the site was problematic, I don't think trademark based attacks on domain names are a good thing. If the site itself has actual trademark violations (not nomitive use or other kinds of fair use), then they should be able to get an injunction applied to the
19:22 schestowitz; site regardless of what the domain name is."
19:23 schestowitz; "
19:23 schestowitz; I do, in general, think that it should be possible to use a trademark to name an entity you're describing or criticizing.
19:23 schestowitz; It'd be very different if this were `wehatefedora` or `whatswrongwithfedora` or `fedorasucks`. But the domain name here *sounds* like it could be part of the Fedora community, which is misleading. And the finding *did* agree it was confusingly similar.
19:23 schestowitz; It seems like a primary consideration here was that Fedora in fact has guidelines that permit the use of the trademark in some circumstances, and that caused the problem here.
19:23 schestowitz; '
19:23 schestowitz; "
19:23 schestowitz; You can't tell if it is a trademark infringement without considering the whole site. A potentially confusing domain name might be part of that, but that doesn't make the domain itself infringing, so that a trademark owner can take it. Red Hat doesn't own all uses of the word fedora in domain names and should not be able to sieze a domain using wemakefedora. The proper remedy is an injunction on the site and making similar sites in the
19:23 schestowitz; future (assuming a violation is found).
19:23 schestowitz; If trademark owners wanted their own play area they should have asked ICANN to create a .trademark domain (tm is a country code) instead of convincing ICANN to created an unfairly (IMO) biased UDRP.
19:23 schestowitz; "
19:24 schestowitz; "Does Red Hat's left hand not know what its right hand is doing?"
19:25 schestowitz; "Just speculating, but maybe this was clumsily worded by RedHat and they actually meant to say that they withdrew their consent? Things did take a turn for the worse last fall when it comes to this topic, and the referenced email is from roughly 6 months before that."

16:16 activelow; still cannot believe Russians and Ukrainians fight each other with deadly force
16:16 activelow; this contradicts almost everything Putin and Germany announced in recent decades
16:18 activelow; recently OPEC/Quatar rejected demands to increase supply to USA
16:25 activelow; furthermore, i see the violent conflict presented as media spectacle entangled with German politics and the new government which hijacked recently
16:26 activelow; in parallel to the ukraine-russian gas dispute, the coalition of "alliance90/greens", "social democtrats", and "liberals", each with their own psychotic lunacies
16:28 activelow; beginning with "renewables" supposedly compensated russian/ukrainian energy supplies, yesterday Christian Lindner head of "liberals" mocked them the recent energy price explosions in germany wasn't any "renewable" and instead the "tank rebate" was "freedom energy" for him
16:30 activelow; another spin is the "refugee" debate of the recent decade, with Ukrainians welcomed now, instead of Syrians/Arabs/Turks/North-Africans
16:31 activelow; because the Ukrainian/White-Russian were denied Visa-free travel into EU, when instead illegal immigrants from elsewhere could more or less easily immigrate
16:37 activelow; Poland was threatened with lowered EU funding because they rejected immigration, yet now can present themselves as generous supporters
16:38 activelow; yet, Ukraine and Poland are very close relatives, with common interests with regards to migration policies, Euro, and Northstream pipelines
16:38 activelow; the NATO support for Poland is in fact USA interfering with internal affairs of EU
16:44 activelow; anyway, if the recent media spectacle is authentic beyond a military excercise, then it's the most dangerous military conflict since WW2
16:44 activelow; not necessarily because of any military escalation, because of the social/political/economic one
