Many saints just took on the stories and aspects of pagan gods or heroes.

Humanity has already outgrown the cradle called earth, the longer it takes us to leave it behind the greater the risk that will destroy it and ourselves.

At least for Scotland the reason is historical, before the union they had their own pound, so they continued to mint their own coin.

Scottish notes technically aren’t legal tender even in Scotland, but this because legal tender has a very narrow meaning in relation to court debts. They’re technically promissory notes, the bank of Scotland has to hold reserves of sterling notes to cover them, although most is in special £100m value notes. Banks will accept them in England, some shops will not because they don’t recognise them and think they’re fake.

Because the people the spend all day on relationship subreddits are bitter and want everyone else to be.

How fucking hard is it to put a $2 ultrasonic distance sensor on the front. I built robots when I was a kid that wouldn’t do this.

This has been solved for 50 years FFS. Yet here we are with techbros thinking cameras can solve everything.

I’m not sure of the correct term. It should be obvious though that if anyone can copyright claim their own image, it would basically make taking photos in many public places impossible.

Defamation and/or tortious interference possibly?

Not necessarily. The standard of proof is different. Just because you couldn’t prove to the civil standard (on the balance of probabilities) that they infringed your copyright, it doesn’t mean the claim was false to a criminal standard (beyond reasonable doubt).

I’d settle for the government prosecuting every false copyright claim as perjury.

Lets not throw out freedom of panorama because of AI.

To be fair it’s kinda reassuring, if they had a professional PR team I’d be suspicious it’s a government honeypot.

Of course that could just be what they want us to think.

I wonder what the Graphene owner’s calm and reasonable response to this will be?

In theory it’s legal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_threat

I suspect onlyoffice will win this one

I’m sceptical tbh, their interpretation of the AGPL seems questionable. The specific wording in the AGPL they’re relying on for their logo preservation term is:

Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works containing it

IMO a logo isn’t attribution, and even if it was there’s no way it could be considered reasonable to require it if they don’t allow you to use it.

I think it sometimes works for technical terms.

The one that comes to mind is microphotography (taking very small photographs) and photomicrography (taking photos of very small things)

Similarly, historical cartography is maps of history, while cartographic history is the history of maps.

More instances with minimal/no defederation would help. That way you can just tell people to pick one of those instances and it doesn’t matter which one.

It’s a bit of a faff to export and import your followed community list

Republican Machiavelli? Or deliberately giving terrible advice to princes Machiavelli?

Either way he really hated mercenaries.

In the past the military would’ve had to pay an actress to pretend to be a bridge bunny.
