I always thought that was like one of the main things they did. We’ve been hearing for years that they’ve been getting sloppy and unprofessional but I always figured they’d get their shit together for protecting one of the ones they like.

When solar farms are more than like 0.01% of land utilization then maybe its worth caring about.

For the same land you can power a household or get like 14 pounds of beef. who cares.

Just install solar panels where its cheapest, which is going to be an empty field where you can install a ton and get better labor efficiency during the install. Making green energy more expensive to install only benefits fossil fuel companies.

This is just the paradox of tolerance with higher than usual stakes. If you believe he is an existential threat to American democracy and that American democracy is worth protecting with violence then you should be in favor of this.

If people actually believe he is going to end democracy but the only legitimate resistance is voting harder then we deserve to lose it.

“We should teach the democrats that they can full throatedly support a genocide while abandoning the left of the party and still win reelection” Great long term strategy there chief.

And I would think biden being a horrible candidate is doing a hell of a lot more to suppress the vote than posts on lemmy.

libs in this thread: “It’s completely fine that best reason to vote for our candidate is that they aren’t the other guy, this strategy definitely worked in 2016”. At this point I’m at least glad the liberal genocide apologists won’t be celebrating in november, gotta find a bright side somewhere.

Oh yeah, of course, people are opposed to genocide because it’s a psyop. Let me guess, Russia is behind it too.

Half the time its not even unauthorized. “What do you mean this website I uploaded to whose TOS allows them to license out my images licensed out my images??”

I got into photography for a while ages ago when I was in highschool and even back then for my shitty landscape photos I was keenly aware of which hosting services respected my rights as copyright holder, apparently that’s too high of a bar to clear for many semi-professional artists. Now the models that did just scrape anything and everything, yeah that’s outright copyright theft. And how much you care about copyright theft is something else entirely.

What exactly is the distinction between “weakest against Trump” and “had worse polling margins against Trump?” If you specifically want to dial in on the ‘likely to lose’ claim that isn’t what you were asking for in the comment I replied to.

Bernie consistently had better projected general election margins during the primary. https://web.archive.org/web/20160217041242/http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/2016_presidential_race.html

They’re still barely over half of US GHG emissions per capita. Fine they use more coal per capita, still much better than the US overall.

Because it’s a lot less straight forward than that and this guy is a crank with a history of intimidation against other Lakota people.

Also this legal fund is for a hearing that happened a year ago so don’t donate to it.

He got the recordings, he also wanted control of the copyright for those recordings. This would have prevented LLC from even continuing to publish their Lakota dictionary and other language materials. https://www.npr.org/transcripts/1197956092

I was going on a lot of different things but NPR did a good piece on it https://www.npr.org/transcripts/1197956092

Also here’s a telling of Ray Taken Alive making a scene at a conference presentation and trying to intimidate a Lakota woman and interrupt her presentation which I can only assume was the breaking point for LLC since it happened 2 months before they sent their cease and desist. https://lastrealindians.com/news/2023/10/25/rl1qqmxm3cpcvoe8k9vsiv06gxibns

There’s no lawsuit. LLC believed he was using his position at a school district as part of a defamation campaign against them so they issued a complaint and he had to defend his teaching license. This happened a year ago and he never turned off the fundraiser.

*he kept his teaching license but was found to have violated the code of professional ethics https://www.prweb.com/releases/bochetto-amp-lentz-p-c-professional-teachers-practices-and-standards-commission-finds-eugene-ray-taken-alive-jr-violated-code-of-professional-ethics-870961036.html

The guy who mocked a C&D asking him to stop provably lying about a nonprofit and then begging for money online is ridiculous.

Further evidence this guy sucks https://lastrealindians.com/news/2023/10/25/rl1qqmxm3cpcvoe8k9vsiv06gxibns

Not really no. A lot of work goes into observing how words are used and writing definitions that describe those uses. Someone has to actually write the definitions and their writings are copyrightable.

They don’t own the rights to describing a word, they do own how they described a word.

Granted the tribe should have gotten some free copies for their participation.

They did. The LLC distributed over a million dollar’s worth of material for free and also the elders that worked with the LLC were directly paid for their time.

You will never convince me there is any excuse for declaring somebody’s language my intellectual property is a justifiable thing on any level.

Nobody did that. Do you think Merriam Webster is copyrighting the English language by publishing a dictionary? Do you think they don’t hold the copyright to their dictionary?
