The AGPL license allows the license holder to specify additional terms of the license that require preservation of specified reasonable attributions or legal notices - this is covered in 7B, and the onlyoffice license specifies that the logo must be preserved for attribution.

Assuming a logo legally counts as reasonable attribution (IANAL) that would put only office in the right here, but holy shit, the fact that the license allows these modifications to be put on line #655 rather than line #2 is absurd. I, like most people I assume, only read far enough into the license to figure out whether it’s MIT or GPL

Heated Rivalry

I only took a cursory glance but a lot of that belongs to the UI framework (svelte)

Similar to react/vue, it’s used to render the content on the page, and automatically update what’s shown on the page when variables change value. This basically replaced jquery and the callback-hell that was mid-2000s web development

Euphoric

Yes it is. No cones = no color.

Achromatopsia is not the same as deuteranomaly, where you have less functional cones and see some, albeit muted colors

They said “larger proportion”, and 2% is larger than 1%

Rod monochromacy (achromatopsia)

Achromatopsia is when you don’t have any cones. This is true color blindness. You won’t see any colors, and will probably have reduced or low vision and other complications.

I worked in a fruit fly lab for years during grad school, so I’m pretty much fucked

Or just… teach them? play movie.mkv isn’t rocket science.

Instructions on how to switch to HDMI 1 are currently taped to the back of my mom’s TV remote

Stomach acid is like 10,000,000x more acidic than most alkaline water is basic. Dilution is probably doing an order of magnitude more work than the hydroxide here (meaning just drink more tap water)

If you’ve had chicken pox before and have had mysterious pain/tingling on an arm/leg on the same side of the body as those for the past few days it could be shingles

I just had it at 33 last week and it looked very similar to that when it first popped up

For a second I had this confused with the Toronto mayoral election, where the former sex pest mayor is rumored to be considering re-running against the person who supplanted him last election

Southern Australian springtime swimmers who properly update their Bayesian priors know that sharks are the true danger, NOT lightning strikes or plane crashes

I feel like the only people who have issues with coffee and taco bell are people with bad diets to begin with, e.g. so bad that the soluble fiber in Coffee is like 100% of their dietary intake

I was like you, until my mid-30s hit

Now buffalo wings will have me waking up at 3am with acid reflux even though I didn’t even register spice while I was eating them 6 hours earlier

“[…] In exchange for a waiver of fees accrued since 2023”

Sounds like Oracle got them with the good 'ol “buy an even bigger license or we’ll sue you”

There are low powered FM transmitters you can get for your car

FM transmitter plugs into cigarette lighter for power

iPod connects to FM transmitter via AUX cord

You tune your cars radio to whatever frequency the transmitter is set to, and it plays whatever your iPod is playing

We’re at a point where it’s no longer profitable for individual miners

We have been at that point since GPU mining stopped being feasible in 2014, it’s just gotten worse. ASICs made it so the only people who could profit off mining were people who could place a wholesale sized order of hardware from bitmain, etc. Anyone else who claimed to be mining profitably was likely someone who was:

1. buying old hardware 2nd hand (or new hardware at MSRP) and capitalizing on free electricity in their rental
2. not selling their Bitcoin immediately (they weren’t making money from mining, they were making it from speculating)
3. lived in Quebec and could double dip (North America’s cheapest grid + free heating for 8 months of the year)

unless there’s a radical change in bitcoin’s algorithm

The algorithm already does this though. Every 2016 blocks if it took more than 10 minutes per block, the difficulty of mining bitcoin goes down, not up. This is why every halving event you see a radical drop in difficulty, because at a given kWh you are producing half as many bitcoin - meaning people turned off their miners because it’s less profitable. The flipside is the rate of issuance goes down, so there is a lower inflationary effect, and the price of Bitcoin usually also skyrockets (which means eventually these miners re-enter, and difficulty eventually goes back to where it was). It can never get to a point where Bitcoin mining is completely unprofitable unless the price goes to zero, because there will always be a guy with a solar panel and fully paid-off hardware who can mine it for free. Granted, it can get to a point where a lot of people have to take a huge loss on capital expenditures if the price nosedives and never recovers

Miners like Riot Blockchain are operating at a loss

I’m not a finance wizard, but I peeked at their last SEC filing, and first 3 quarters of 2024 they posted a 35m operating loss, but added almost 900m worth of assets to their balance sheet (mostly Bitcoin), which to me tells a very different story
