New comment by bluehazed in "A New Jailbreak for John Deere Tractors Rides the Right-to-Repair Wave"

I feel like this comment is seriously underestimating the average farmer, these are people with complicated jobs and wide ranges of skill sets. Also when your livelihood is threatened unless you learn how to do something, you're gonna learn how to do that thing.

Who will enforce this? The police? There's nobody interested in enforcing such an order.

As the article says, this isn't legal, and violates Provincial Privacy law.

New comment by bluehazed in "Google Board Sued for Hushing Claims of Executive Misconduct"

bluehazed — Fri, 11 Jan 2019 16:12:22 +0000

Yikes, this is looking pretty bad:

"Rubin was also 'alleged to have engaged in human sex trafficking': in an October 2018 lawsuit brought by his ex-wife, Rie Rubin, she claimed that Andy Rubin had multiple 'ownership relationships' with several highly paid women. In text messages produced in that case, Andy Rubin allegedly claimed that he could 'loan' these women as they were 'kinda like… my property.'"

New comment by bluehazed in "LLVM Developer Leaves Citing Code of Conduct"

bluehazed — Wed, 02 May 2018 22:51:44 +0000

So from what I gather, the developer is leaving the project because LLVM is involved with a project that offers paid internships to women/trans/genderqueer and racial minorities?

Classy.
