it's called less wrong because they're still always wrong

the why is quite easy, because we are not worthy of having a say in our own governance according to them, so that they may better exploit us

> this proves that Codeberg may in the future ban any project as is their right, they're providing this service to you free of charge, if they don't like how you're using their ser…

i give a lot of software dedicated user accounts, it's literally one of the core security models of the operating system

sound doesn't really tell you about quality issues, quality issue are more does it have any fret ends that cut into your fingers as you move up and down the neck, are any of the fr…

Everything Fender's CEO said in that meeting was a lie to appease retailers

That's why they aren't trying this in the US (yet), where the bodies were explicitly declared public domain. They're trying to turn a default judgement into something bigger in the…

Leo Fender patented the Strat design, the body became public domain when the patent expired in I think 1965. More recently a US court ruled that only the headstock design of a guit…

it's yet to be proven that they are right, the only thing they won in the german court is a default ruling because they picked a defendant who they knew wasn't going to show up so …

well, in the US, those shapes were ruled public domain. in Germany, Fender recently won a default ruling because a chinese counterfeiter didn't even show up in court, and they're n…

plex continues to prove their own irrelevancy

I don't think they banned it, they just reiterated their existing rules that only real humans can receive awards.

This guy didn't even look at what Apple sells before writing this. The normal ipad comes in fun colors, and while it doesn't cost $200 (that seems like an unattainable price point)…

that's because a ton of them are just off the shelf fonts they had someone make minor changes to
