News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

It's hard to prove falses like that, but Lyft doesn't appear to have such verbiage in their TOS.

I'd hate to be proven wrong about that, but grateful if I was.

I've encountered flaws, reported them, and then received vague legal threats. Fortunately, I used a disposable email.

Because we have to take our work with us? To meetings, to workspaces, etc. And, we're willing to pay a premium for high power, high portability.

I could probably go buy a big workstation/gaming style pc laptop, but I'd rather pay more for a lightweight model.

They've made a handful of contributions back. Arguably, a lot of the changes they've made they couldn't share anyways (AMD licensing agreements) or were built on top of it as applications.

FWIW: I, for sure, appreciate the GPL3 and copy-left licenses.

Right about what? The Linux Kernel has gained tons of work back by vendors using it for products that would be replaced with functionally identical non-GPL3 components.

Torvalds' decision was extremely practical and has lead to huge gains for Linux users even if (ahem) not every company gives back.

I think there's a flaw in this want, which is that you don't know what "realistically designed" means. I've never been on a large space station, and aside from academic or artistic ventures, one has never been built.

The same is with wastewater treatment plants, etc. And, if you're targeting realism, size might be an issue.

That said, there are games that are thoughtful about this, such as doorkickers or heist.
