Imagining that a prosecutor could achieve the burden of proof on this is wishful thinking. This is yet another post title passing off opinion as fact.

Actual title from the article:

Logan Act: Why it could be illegal for Trump to call Putin

Unless he or Putin come out and explicitly state he was performing diplomacy on behalf of the United States, and not e.g., conducting “personal business”, there is literally no case.

Sure that personal business is undoubtedly quid pro quo, but that’s technically not illegal… just corrupt as fuck.

If they are ramping the test flight cadence up to two a month, and do not encounter any insurmountable obstacles, they could break Mach 1 by the end of the year.

Twelve paragraphs in, and you still haven’t made your argument?

Are the AI companies at odds with copyright laws when they train new models? I think, yes.

Ah, because it’s a bullshit opinion piece being presented as fact, that makes sense.

It itself is not FOSS, but Network Chuck just had a decent video on setting up ThinLinc for his editing team. I believe it is free for ten or fewer users. There is an admin function that allows you to observe what another user is doing (session shadowing).

In general, I’m pretty sure you can probably specify the screen port in VNC, and connect multiple users to the same port, but you’d have to double check the configuration file. Can likely also be done with XRDP.

TL;DR: Cofounder of open source project says super popular platform using their project needs to pay up for inane reasons. Chaos ensues.

In summary:

WP Engine is one of the most popular third party platforms built on top of WordPress.

They have a link and images on their webpage referencing that they are built on top of Wordpress (this is legal).

The former cofounder of Wordpress said that they are illegally using the Wordpress trademark.

WP Engine sends Cease and Desist.

WordPress Cofounder doubles down, blocks WP Engine and demanded WP Engine pay licensing fees for using their branding.

This pissed off a lot of people.

WP Engine sues. For a lot, including extortion, abuse of power, and asserts the cofounder of WordPress has criminally made false statements to the IRS.

The Executive Director for Wordpress resigns, presumably in solidarity with WP Engine and the community.

Legally, those aren’t mini fridges.

Don’t worry about what you can or can’t do four weeks from now. Stay focused on what you need to do this week.

It was absolutely worth the money ruling it out. That’s literally how science works.

On day one, do one push up. Day two, two. Sounds a bit ridiculous, but it gradually builds difficulty.

Crucially, it is not all in one sitting. On day 10, if needed, do five when you wake up, and five before bed.

Break it up into something achievable. And if you miss a day, don’t sweat it. Again, the idea is to start to build, or rebuild strength and flexibility, the exercises themselves barely matter; you could do planks instead, for example.

So to correct one thing:

Poor posture is a symptom of poor core strength, particularly, your rhomboids and lower back. If your muscles are both stronger and more flexible, they will literally pull your bones into the correct alignment, without any conscious thought towards sitting straighter.

Start by taking a short walk once a day (free). A 100 day pushup challenge (free) or starting Yoga classes (can be free on YouTube, but in-person has several benefits, including having someone correcting your form, and some social structures to help provide extra motivation) would be a great next step. Longer term, maybe light weights and rows alongside using a treadmill or stationary bike.

If you choose to look into weight training, “Starting strength” is a decent program by Mark Rippetoe that I would recommend.
