Dealing with Incomplete Copyleft Source That Doesn't Correspond
Years ago, copyleft violations were often a mere misunderstanding; vendors intended to comply but made mistakes. In those “before times”, a simple request and short discussion often led to the complete, Corresponding Source (“CCS”) for the the distributed binary works (or, in the case of network-service copyleft, the deployed systems).

In other words, we as a campus community have an active debate about which debates are even worth having — and we have room to exercise judgement about which voices we as a community choose to amplify.
Amplifying all voices is not a route to free society; it’s a route to total noise. Flooding the zone is just as effective a means of censorship as silencing all opposition. As people trying to foster useful discussion, we have an obligation to choose choose wisely our topics of discussion and the voices we elevate.

"I’d interpret this as follows: this likely came down to a discussion involving Secretary of State Marco Rubio and a few other Iran hardliners. That’s where the decision was going to be made. There were probably people on the margins […]. But they would have known these buzzkill remarks weren’t what Trump or his inner ring of advisors wanted to hear. This is the nature of personalist rule. It’s down to the leader’s gut impulses. He doesn’t want to hear about problems."

I love how the comment section turned into a discussion about printers on BSD

An under-mentioned aspect of the trump disaster is that it has effectively put a stamp of approval on crime.
If there is discussion - it is almost about fairly major crimes of corruption.
But minor crime has, by my non-scientific assessment, significantly increased.
For example, it seems that illegal email spam (often containing more serious criminal attempts) has enormously increased. Same for scam telephone messages, both oral and textual.

I don’t care if someone calls stuff “spaceflight” (though that usually includes portions of actual flight through air).
But if it’s for a scientific or technology discussion it’s hugely inaccurate and misleading.
In space, things always move in orbits, which is essentially more or less perpetually falling.
To make things go places (e.g. make a thing go to Mars), you change how it’s falling.

We do not, however, make space for and amplify people who believe the Earth is flat, because that would be a f***ing waste of time.
