Nintendo:

And the players should win this case. It’s pretty obviously true that Nintendo would be recovering tariff money twice.

The window frame is above where we can see, outside of the frame of the picture.

I think maybe you’re seeing the crease in the door and thinking that’s where the door meets the window, but that’s just a decorative crease.

There is no window in that photo. The photo shows the bottom half of the door, below where the window would be.

Makes perfect sense for a space rocket company.

Also, there’s no way I’m letting Mecha Hitler write my code.

You ever see Transformers?

This looks nothing like AI slop. It’s the bottom half of the door.

Sweet. Gonna blow all my money on new Steam hardware this year.

I think we’re old.

Not Tim Apple!

4.19 would be pretty nice. It’s like 5.49 here.

This is so dumb. Of course you can run an app coded by your friend. Either your friend can pay $100 a year to notarize their app, or you can pay $100 a year to run his app as a developer. Couldn’t be easier.

Edit: apparently I need to add /s. I figured this was a stupid enough take that it was obvious.

Good lord. That dude’s packing a fire hose.

You replied to me, man. xD

Ah, ok. This is a conversation about Linux, so that doesn’t apply. Linux is open source, so it wouldn’t matter if someone wanted to enforce a EULA, anyone else could just take the source and do what they want with it.

Linux is open source.

Generating code costs a lot of money, as does the expertise to review the code. People aren’t going to want to spend the many millions of dollars to do that when they could use a GPL kernel. Of course if the kernel is not only free, but basically public domain, it solves all of their problems. They can modify it and keep those modifications closed source, the complete antithesis of what the GPL stands for.

Sure, but if it’s open source, I can just take that code without agreeing to your contract. Since it’s public domain, I can do whatever I want with it. You can only enforce a contract if I agree to it.

So what happens thirty years from now when 95% of the kernel code is AI generated? It’ll be a lot easier to rewrite the parts that aren’t, and have a fully closed source kernel that you can use without following the GPL.

I mean, yeah, you can make the argument that owning the copyrights to all of the code in your project isn’t important. I don’t agree, but that’s certainly a valid stance. Apparently the Linux maintainers are on your side. That makes me sad. Copyright ownership of the things I produce is very important to me.
