And as part of the “open” part, any data added must be compatible with the odbl license, which means sources must first be verified as compatible, so any imports of government databases are oftentimes simply not legally possible and even if they are it’s something you have to do quasi-manually since it’s probably in a completely different format.

Considering that collections of facts aren’t actually copyrightable in the first place (see Feist Publications, Inc. v. Rural Telephone Service Co.), how much does that actually matter?

Like, as a practical matter I can see how the people that run OpenStreetMap might not want you to do it, but I don’t think it would actually be copyright infringement if somebody, say, scraped the business directory information from Google Maps and bulk-imported it to OpenStreetMap.

In the United States, zip code also correlates because things like school funding are based on property tax and vary by location.

Well, you sure sound upset, and you’re downvoting both me and the other guy who replied to you, so…

I don’t mind it being a rule, but I do mind it being a secret. It needs to be mentioned in the sidebar (probably as an addendum to rule #2).

You’re the one who’s upset about it.

Eh, there were other filaments that worked well enough, I think (carbonized string or something, maybe?). It’s the vacuum that’s the real trick to keeping it from burning out too quick.

Does this community not allow videos? I tried posting a link to it directly yesterday, but Automod removed it instantly.

One of @FauxLiving@lemmy.world’s comments linked to a bug report about it. Turns out the real reason is that Krita uses a plugin architecture that allows additional file types to be supported, so it can’t actually know the complete list of MIME types to put in the .desktop file at application install time.

Krita makes it possible for plugins to extend Krita with additional file format support. Those plugins come with a desktop file that tell the desktop that krita can load those file types. Of course Krita’s main desktop file cannot have the full list of supported file types, because that’s implemented by plugins. Most of those plugins are shipped with Krita, but that is not necessary. People can create extra import/export plugins that still need desktop files so your desktop can know that Krita can load this file format.

I’m not completely convinced that’s a good reason (compared to, say, having each plugin installation modify a single krita.desktop file or something), but I think it manages to upgrade it from “indefensible.”

Why don’t you file the bug report, since you apparently feel so strongly about it? Instead, you’re not even complaining but meta-complaining, which is even worse!

Gotta invent glass blowing and vacuum pumps first.

Your hardest chore would be getting your hands on lye, and convincing people its not witchcraft.

Isn’t that leached from wood ash or something?

Well, IIRC there’s the PineTime and the new Pebble, but yeah, that’s why I don’t own a smartwatch/fitness tracker even though I’d like to.

I would argue that even on-hover popups are insufficient, because they normally don’t make it into screenshots and that’s the use-case where you’re most likely to really want to know the absolute timestamp.

Never, ever, buy a device that doesn’t have third-party Free Software firmware available.

No, the problem is that people believe “[concept] on a computer” is somehow magically different from “[concept] IRL” when it’s not.

When you buy a game from Steam, you buy a game, not a license, and the First Sale Doctrine applies just as much as it does if you buy a board game from Walmart. Any claims to the contrary are simply lies, and any government support for such lies is simply tyranny.

What exactly is wrong with Chromium?

It gives Google hegemony over web standards.

The American evangelical Christian death-cultists backing Israel don’t mind the genocide (or worse, actively support a ‘crusade’ against ‘infidels’), but do mind acts against Christianity.

Nothing “mildly” about this shit!
