Yes. There’s no sandboxing in Wine/Proton. It’s just another application running with the privileges of the user running it. So it can do anything any other process could do with that user’s credentials. This is one reason why Wine recommends that you never run it as root.
Sir or Madam, I’m a fan of the Cleveland Guardians and the Columbus Blue Jackets. Both of those are losing causes and will probably be forever.
This is a question about what constitutes a derivative work. IANAL and that’s a difficult question most of the time. I’m not going to try to answer it. I’m reasonably sure that the last 3 are not derivative works, but again, IANAL.
If something is a derivative work of an AGPL-licensed product, that work must also be AGPL. This basically means you must provide source to anyone who has a copy of the binary or any user of the software. If only you are using the script, it’s a pretty trivial case. You’re the only author/user of the software and you have the source so you’re in compliance.
Yes. OP could make up a new story based on mythology and it’s not in the public domain.
The Church of Scientology is well-known to aggressively assert their copyright interest in some of their religious texts. At some point these will lapse into the public domain and anyone who has a copy can publish them.
They may be using CGNAT. If you check your local IP and it starts with 10, 172, or 192 when on mobile data that is the case.
I was in a combined depression and substance abuse unit. It was mostly boring. We had privacy when in the shower or the can. Doors had to be open when we were sleeping. Law enforcement wasn’t involved at all. It was a private hospital, not state-run. I wouldn’t ever want to go back but AFAICT it was pretty good as far as mental hospitals go.
A story in 4 acts.
Not great but better. There will always be bad days.
We thought I lost my cat and I was only a few months from being inpatient the first time. So I took a knife, turned off my phone, got in my car and started driving to where I was going to kill myself. After about 30 minutes I thought better of it and pulled over and called my wife. She already had local PD there. I talked to them while they had the county sheriff come get me. They held me until my wife cane and got me. Then back into inpatient I went.
ETA: Cat got in behind a wall and decided to hang for awhile. We found out that he was back out while we were driving back.
The police released me into the custody of my wife. They did pat me down and put me in the back of a cruiser so I wouldn’t hurt myself.
Legal in Oregon! You need a lot of paperwork, but if you’re terminal it can be done.
Somewhat seriously…porn.
But completely seriously, the easiest videos to make are a matter of pointing a camera at yourself and talking.
Criminally underrated comment.
I’ve seen another one that states that the fact that you have to try 3 times means that USB connectors exist in 4 spatial dimensions.
Actually I already own that one but I wanted my post to be brief.
I’m not really interested in these games but this is pretty freaking awesome.
Abnormal meaning “not normal?” Very abnormal. As others have mentioned there are some edge cases where this isn’t terrible, but in general it’s a pretty bad look.
As far as the US is concerned (because a lot of this stuff does depend on jurisdiction), you’re most likely going to be raided by a state-level police department (local PD, county sheriff, etc). They don’t give a hoot about pirated material because that’s a federal crime.
If you were raided by the FBI, ATF, DEA, etc., they could use any pirated content they found to bring up criminal charges against you.
There are four essential elements to a charge of criminal copyright infringement. In order to sustain a conviction under section 506(a), the government must demonstrate: (1) that a valid copyright; (2) was infringed by the defendant; (3) willfully; and (4) for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain.

This is the actual stated goal of Bitcoin. And this is an actual use for it. But that ship sailed a very long time ago.
It is similar to Lemmy in that it’s also a link aggregation platform. What makes it different is that it is created by different people using different code and has different priorities. But the same basic features are present.
I can’t speak to why it might be better than Lemmy because I don’t use it. Maybe some people think it’s better because of the features it offers. Maybe others don’t like the Lemmy devs and prefer supporting a different application. There are lots of possible reasons.
How the application is started is a separate question. I don’t know enough about Wine to know if it would install a Windows Service as a user service in systemd or init.d or something like that. But if the app is started it can do anything it wants subject to that user’s permissions.
