To be pedantic, it's trademarks you have to actively defend. With copyright and patents there's different exceptions, but you can usually sue for at minimum expected license fees (although sometimes you give up the possibility to sue for willful infringement & additional damages if you wait)

It's kinda comparable in terms, but because both licenses have comparable copyleft "no rights may be removed and no terms added" restrictions they conflict and can't be merged.

CDDL came after GPL, and I'm not convinced by the arguments for why it was used (to make some kind of development with commercial modules easier, but this could've been done with GPL + exceptions)

That license plus patents (which only are freely licensed to the CDDL implementation specifically) means you can't just rewrite it for Linux either. You'd have to wait for the patents to expire and then do clean room reverse engineering.

It does this by encrypting the OS separately from apps and user data. The OS is auto unlocked (usually using a hardware TPM chip).

The boot order of the component which handle encryption has an effect on which other system components which reliably can be scripted to automate stuff with that data.

Tldr if it's just for your documents, sure. If you've got sensitive program data / config there, it makes it harder to autostart them because now you have to wait.

The problem isn't all the people, it's the leverage that sufficiently terrible governments has against companies in their jurisdiction

Trump's non-stop racism like not allowing black people to rent anything in his properties isn't comparable to drug convictions. His mafia ties throughout his whole life aren't comparable to petty theft convictions. Him suing contractors to avoid paying isn't comparable either. A whole damn insurrection is very far from it too.

How do you convince people somebody like Trump is dangerous without pointing to their actions?

It's certainly possible, although harder. Parallax effects should be visible in a real road, which it wouldn't be in a painting of a road.

But it doesn't track how the image changes as it moves, so Teslas can't catch that.

It's specifically about what kind of crimes he committed (fraud, putting others in danger) and that he's continuing to commit crimes without remorse that is the problem, not some long past history.

People can change, but they have to want to change, and Trump does not.

Pretty sure the roads are discontinuous in the original post too

That's like saying using deadly violence in self defense isn't killing because it's self defense, not attacking. But it is still killing, just a form that's treated differently.

Assuming the idiots install the wrong root certs or click past warnings

 

UK wanted global access to decrypt any and all Apple users' iCloud data on request. Apple pulled iCloud encryption from the ADP program instead within UK.

Seems like their idea is to ensure encrypted data outside of UK stays out of UK jurisdiction because the affected feature isn't available there anymore. But this will prevent UK residents from using iCloud end to end encryption in ADP and keeping for example backups of photos and iMessage logs protected, so for example journalists are a lot more exposed to secret warrants and potential insider threats.
