    As emphasised in Kadrey et al vs Meta cited in the post (ND Cal 25 June 2025), unauthorised access to copyrighted works by webscraping brings huge potential benefits and huge value to the webscrapers business.Quote from Kadrey : Dont rule against them, or youll stop the development of this groundbreaking technology.

    If the camera manufacturer used copyrighted content or any 3PIPR in the making of the camera, then the manufacturer is liable regardless of downstream use. Have you any comments on that?

    I know very little about copyright, but licensing has never really worked for patents. Companies find it very constraining to cooperate with each other in a free market system. Licensing can be used as a way of ess [01:59] schestowitz[TR2] entially in effect 'selling' something so that the licensee can go away and develop it as they wish, but I think your article is proposing licensing as a core part of how

Subsequently there is no restriction for colleagues to form an election list. Consequently, the election committee has decided, like previous years, to allow candidates to identify themselves as being part of a list in all places their name is mentioned. This includes the presentation of the candidates be it on the internet site and the ballot slip. [03:58] schestowitz[TR2] In order to avoid misunderstandings each candidate has to clearly indicate his wish to be part of a list and also agree on all other candidates on the list. To ensure this, each list needs to provide the names of the candidates being part of that list in writing latest three days before the opening of the poll. This list of names has to include a name for the list and needs to be dated and signed by each of the candidates featuring [03:58] schestowitz[TR2] on the list.

  • Jussi Pakkanen: Building Android apps with native code using Meson

    Building code for Android with Meson has long been possible, but a bit hacky and not particularly well documented. Recently some new features have landed in Meson main, which make the experience quite a bit nicer. To demonstrate, I have update [11:50] schestowitz[TR2] d the Platypus sample project to build and run on Android. The project itself aims demonstrate how you'd build a GUI application with shared native code on multiple platforms using native widget toolkits on each of them. Currently it supports GTK, Win32, Cocoa, WASM and Android. In addition to building the code it also generates native packages and installers.
