Here it’s “barking up the wrong tree”

it means you are blaming the wrong thing/person for an issue.

Their legal page mentions the Netherlands, Finland, and Germany. I don’t know which of the latter two they’re hosted in but their hosting company is German, and Germany are a bunch of assholes when it comes to copyright.

Per https://lemmy.world/post/13320356, they got a takedown notice and started going through everything with a fine toothed comb.

This sounds like a question for an IP lawyer, not an internet forum.

Yelp names their own competitors in the “extorting businesses for good reviews” racket.

The second Signal works out that this exists.

And the sign said anybody caught trespassing
Would be shot on sight.
So I jumped over the fence and I yelled at the house,
“Hey, what gives you the right
To put up a fence to keep me out
Or to keep mother nature in?”
If God was here he’d tell you to your face
“Man, you’re some kind of sinner!”

I’ve yet to run into a CPU that doesn’t work with 11
Every AMD processor from the Ryzen 1000-series and older. I’m not sure where the line is with Intel processors, but requiring TPM excludes a lot of otherwise useful hardware.

I have a Jellyfin server running in the office. The video card is about 6 months old. The CPU, case, and motherboard are going on 12 years old.

Employment contracts in the US are quite rare. 49 out of 50 state are at-will employment (Montana being the exception), so they can fire you for any or no reason, excluding a small list of illegal reasons.

Within the laws of the location of the employer. That’s why state and sometimes even local laws matter.

Alleghany County is extremely red, Covington has a large paper plant which has a nasty smell, and Clifton Forge has a massive coal train terminal and is the most depressing place I have ever been.

Richmond, Hampton Roads, and Charlottesville contribute as well, but basically if it’s not a city or the suburbs of one, it’s red as a sunburn.

Virginia still has cheap areas and is a blue state thanks to the DC area and Hampton Roads, but the cheap areas suck and don’t necessarily have broadband access or mobile coverage.

Virginia is roughly purple. The General Assembly is hung (one house majority Republican, the other majority Democratic), and the governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general are all Republican.

The DC area is ridiculously expensive ($1 million or $2500/month is quite possible). I can’t speak to Hampton Roads.

The city of Richmond, most of Henrico County (not Varina), Charles City County, and part of Chesterfield County are blue. Charles City County is cheap but good luck getting a phone signal with certain carriers or getting internet access. Glen Allen, Short Pump, and the West End (all Henrico County) are all pretty expensive as well but less so than DC.

The developer of the MMORPG Eternal Lands wrote two articles about how to manage a game’s economy.

The writer reminds me of Terry Davis, except not as bright.

I bought my own router and modem because of that. Cox started locking router features away inside their app and wanted $10/month to change settings on a modem/router combo I was already paying $8/month to rent!

Now the Pi-Hole is my DHCP server.

“John Larkin” by John Larkin only has two copies in existence, one by his widow and the other by an unknown person. If that name seems unfamiliar, it’s because he later became more famous as Scatman John.

It was recorded in 1986 but due to current US copyright law, it won’t enter public domain until December 3, 2069.

There’s a few copies floating around on YouTube and a FLAC version as a torrent. Pirates are keeping his legacy as a jazz performer alive.
