  • No it doesn’t. Here, let me demonstrate:

    I’m accusing you of showing up to my house and kissing my dog (the gay one, not the straight one.)

    There. Is that the truth? According to you it must be, because

    Accusation = truth

    So because it’s true, I demand you restore my dog’s honor by gay marrying him.

    And that’s literally how it works in the US. You can make any allegation you want when filing a civil suit and a judge must decide the validity of your claims. Teixiera has given his side of the story when he filed suit; that’s all we can say for certain at this point. He could be 100% right, he could be bending the truth a little bit, or he could be completely lying about the whole thing- we don’t currently have any more information than that.



  • Yeah, I’m gonna wait a bit before bringing out the pitchforks.

    A plaintiff in a civil suit can allege anything they want, but that doesn’t mean they’re being 100% truthful. Any lawyer will slant the facts as much as possible to make their client look as injured as they can to garner the most sympathy- that’s just lawyering 101. We have his version of events but don’t have Mozilla’s, but the fact that he’s publicly shit-talking the company (rather than let the legal process play out) doesn’t cast him in a good light IMO.



  • Following the publication of this story, X owner Elon Musk reshared a screenshot of it, saying it’s “important to allow people to like posts without getting attacked for doing so!”

    Thin-skinned Nazis don’t like being called Nazis for liking other Nazi content.

    A few weeks ago, X’s director of engineering, Haofei Wang, said the upcoming change is meant to protect users’ public image — because “many people feel discouraged” to like “edgy” content.

    That’s the fucking point, Wang. Nazis should be discouraged from liking other Nazi content. Society shouldn’t tolerate bigots, much less embolden them- the way you and your boss want to do.









  • If Buying Isn’t Owning, Piracy Isn’t Stealing.

    That’s why nobody got charged with theft, they were charged with criminal copyright infringement. Which carries a much larger punishment than just stealing a disc from your local big box store.

    So the only way to “Buy” the content is “licensing” digital copies of it that still has the verbiage of “buy” on the “store” that you purchase it from.

    You don’t “buy” the content, you buy a license to use the content in a way that the copyright holder seems acceptable. And if you don’t like it, fuck you, cause corporations are more people than people.




  • This guy is a chump and I wish someone would have called him out on his BS.

    It’s no wonder. He’s a Republican, so that automatically makes him a assbag. Also, Toyota has a Camry manufacturing plant in Georgetown, Ford assembles Escapes in Louisville, and of course GM makes Corvettes in Bowling Green, so it’s no surprise that he’d be regressive towards automotive tech (even though Ford and SK are spending like $4 billion to build two battery manufactuing plants outside Louisville).
