what kind of disavow (not sure you can "disown" someone you were never associated with but w/e) are you looking for exactly bc everyone I'm familiar with is openly contemptuous of this kind of person and silicon valley in general

This has been the very obvious goal the entire time tbh. Incorporate the technology while ensuring no one else can legally use it without great expense. Shock only comes from people on whom the pro-copyright astroturfing efforts have worked.

wouldn't be too tough to set something up but I wonder how the legality shakes out

Seattle and Portland folks we have got to figure out a solution to the Mayor Wilsons thing or this will keep being very confusing

also I don't want ours to get any credit accidentally in anyone's mind for doing something cool the other one did.

counterpoint: just about every controller since the aughts has had a second joystick and the gamecube's was incredibly ergonomic IF☝️ you had really small hands (like me)

honestly 99% of advertising for controlled substances of all kinds should probably be illegal

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for β€œthis is not the child I ordered” I think

Good morning! I’m currently at Beaverton High School in OR where a mass student walk out has just started to demand a proactive ICE protocol for their school and district.

Students say that similar walkouts were planned at multiple other high schools, including Aloha, Sunset, Southridge & more.

Yeah it's weird to see people claiming this is a new thing happening but it's definitely not. junk is not actually any better if a human writes it

copyright and IP law are blights on society. I wish so many people wouldn't be manipulated into supporting and expanding it, bc it will just be more of this.

example six thousand of how IP law protects owners, not creators. abolish copyright

In what way is this not just embezzlement by creating a slush fund by the mayor's office and city admin? It really seems like embezzlement.

It is crazy to me how many empty lots there are in the city. Dare to Dream 2 is probably the most infuriating one bc of the history there but they are everywhere. there should be insane fees for squatting on empty lots in the city. I'd double that shit every year until they sold it or did something.

He was in the bike lane, yet the driver's actions did not contribute to the collision. Hm.

The rake that every pundit and poster steps on (and I am guilty of this too) is the implied presumption that every political decision is necessarily undergirded by deep political values or beliefs rather than Vibes based on the 3 most recent semi-relevant things they interacted with

Portland Said It Was Investing in Homeless People’s Safety. Deaths Have Quadrupled. The city responded to an increase in homeless deaths by intensifying encampment sweeps and adding emergency shelter at the expense of permanent housing. Experts say this has perpetuated the problem.

Sweeps do actually kill people. I watched it happen to houseless neighbors of mine. 5 years our neighborhood had zero issues. Each sweep they became more and more worn down.

did you miss the part where there wasn't one. because the mayor didn't show up. that was like the whole post so I'm not sure how you missed it but well here we are

Incredibly disrespectful conduct on his part tbh. Really seems like he wants to run away from the consequences of bad policy choices.

you've been running on that "hates preschool, loves billionaires" platform long enough that I'm pretty sure we know who you work for and what your values are.

here's hoping we see someone at least modestly progressive come and win the primary before we lose the state to Drazan

Mayor ghosts city council because he doesn't want anyone to challenge his big "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" PR victory lap in local papers after claiming he's fixed homelessness in Portland.

Seems a lot like Mayor Wilson just doesn't like his ideas or claims being challenged.

Portland City Council will meet today to discuss the "Homelessness to Housing Continuum."

The original idea was for it to be a venue for Mayor Wilson to talk about his homelessness plan. But per Wilson's office, it's not certain he'll show up.

(And bureau staff have been advised not to attend.)
