  lock him up

  A judge IS allowed to jail a person for contempt of court for failure to produce documents - even if its a civil trial. The record iirc is 14 years in jail.

• On the post: Court Tosses Arkansas Age Verification Law For Violating The 1st Amendment

  say what?

  US used to be about individual freedom? When was that? When slavery was legal? When people were literally arrested (and beaten) for being associated with the American Communist party?

• On the post: Gannett Stops Using AI To Write Articles For Now Because They Were Hilariously Terrible

  overusing computer time

  How long before complaints begin that AI compute time is using too much energy - like with crypto?

  meta constitutionality

  "Such ambiguity renders a law unconstitutional." I love this line. Laws need to be clear enough that people have a way of knowing how not to break them.

  meta constitutionality

  "Such ambiguity renders a law unconstitutional." I love this line so much. Laws need to be understandable so you know how to not break them.

  You lose! Good day, sir!

  Seems like the gop is going for the most ways to lose in one lawsuit.

• On the post: Dude Who Wants Copyrights And Patents On AI-Created Works Loses In Court Again

  

  Diogenes ( profile ), 24 Aug, 2023 @ 08:55pm

  but what does that gain him?

  I dont see that that gains him anything. He can have his ai produce as much as he wants so long as he can claim he had even a little input. Even if he didnt, he can always claim he did and no one can say different. In fact, he almost certainly did have some input.

  He's just trying to set a bad precedent

  He could win by just saying he input something or guided the AI in the creation but he wants to claim the AI did all of it. Who knows why, but thats his kick.

• On the post: ExTwitter Rightly Tells Court That Music Publishers’ Lawsuit Is Complete Nonsense And Should Be Tossed Out

  

  Diogenes ( profile ), 24 Aug, 2023 @ 12:53pm

  fake lawsuit?

  This one seems a lawsuit thats like a strawman. It seems so weak they intended it to fail.

• On the post: Today In ‘Here’s How Elon Is Making ExTwitter Worse,’ He’s Going To Get Rid Of Headlines & Snippets For News

  

  Diogenes ( profile ), 22 Aug, 2023 @ 10:21am

  Waht?

  The image on the right has the same information as the one on the left except the left one has the text repeated on the bottom. Did this example post get screwed up?

• On the post: After Canada Starts Taxing News Links, Canadians Are Upset That They Can’t Follow News Of Wildfires On Facebook

  

  Diogenes ( profile ), 19 Aug, 2023 @ 10:09am

  work with them

  If you want FB to post links to news articles couldnt you temporarily suspend the link tax?

• On the post: Techdirt Has Again Been Removed From Bing And (Mostly) DuckDuckGo

  

  Diogenes ( profile ), 16 Aug, 2023 @ 10:02am

  just as goof!

  And yet there are still those that say bing and duck duck go are just as good if not better than google. smh

• On the post: If Twitter Had Competent Legal Staff, This Gag Order Over A Warrant On Trump’s Account Might Have Been Interesting, Instead…

  

  Diogenes ( profile ), 10 Aug, 2023 @ 03:00pm

  couple things

  1. I dont see that saying Trump may be a flight risk is that unbelievable.
  2. The total fine is only about 2.5 hours worth of interest on the total debt Twitter owes.

• On the post: South Dakota’s Top Court Reaffirms Its Refusal To Consider Polygraph Tests To Be Actual ‘Evidence’ Of Anything

  

  Diogenes ( profile ), 09 Aug, 2023 @ 09:25pm

  why use it then

  Clearly the police administered the polygraph with the intent to prove guilt, otherwise they wouldnt do it. If its not proof of guilt or innocence then Id consider administering it a violation of rights. There is no point to it except as an abuse of justice.

  Diogenes ( profile ), 05 Aug, 2023 @ 05:36pm

  prison?

  I think it wont be the political parties that make that call. If they wanted to prevent the possibility of him going to prison they had to put a stop to it before it got to court. Now its up to the judges (all the several judges).

  bother

  Some lawyers dont even bother reading law. They just look it up on chatgpt.

  little hitler

  Hitler too tried and failed to overthrow the government. He was convicted of treason and imprisoned for 5 years.

• On the post: FBI Investigation Into Mysterious NSO Spyware Purchase Reveals It Was The FBI Doing The Mysterious Purchasing

  sales of malware should be illegal

  And Israel should be shamed.

• On the post: Global Militaries Worry Elon Musk Is Too Erratic To Manage Starlink Competently

  

  Diogenes ( profile ), 03 Aug, 2023 @ 09:00am

  possibly likely

  If Musk threatened to shut it down they probably would, and I would not at all put that past him.

• On the post: Meta Begins The Process Of Ending News Links In Canada

  wrong definition

  A business that makes money is certainly a better business model than one that loses money.
