If these people were fascists, why wouldn’t they just endorse Trump?

Maybe, as some of them have said, they fear the fascism Trump promises and are willing to put aside any other policy disagreements to try to end this threat of fascism in America

Why did she get the endorsements? Did she promise to end Medicare or Social Security or do whatever the Republican platform is now? No, it’s because she’s not Donald Trump and these people think he’s such a dangerous person to make president that they’re willing to endorse a Democrat in the hopes it’ll convince other Republicans that they should vote for Harris.

Is that self-own?

If it’s on Github doesn’t that make it OS?

No, when talking about open source software, people typically refer to a definition along the lines of the Open Source Initiative’s Open Source Definition. To distinguish this from software that you can only see the source (but don’t have rights to copy and modify it), they’ll use the term Source Available Software.

I don’t really know about the software you guys were talking about, but the repositories I looked at used the MIT license, which is OSI approved. However, that might not be all of the code they use. It’s not uncommon for a company to open source a “base” version, but they deploy a version that’s altered from that (I’ve got no clue whether they do or don’t).

People often use the OSI’s Open Source Definition when using the term “open source”. One of its criteria says “The license must allow modifications and derived works” which this license does not allow.

According to this FCC fact sheet:

Equal opportunities and other political-related benefits are available only to individuals who have attained the status of “legally qualified candidate.” These rules do not apply to cable channels or web-based video or audio such as streamed video content, podcasts, or social media.

And since Fox News is a cable channel, it does not apply

Sorry, but a similar design is already taken by the planet where everyone’s obsessed with The Ring

Is there a field in Tinder you can fill out with your job title?

Yes

And I’m asking how Tinder is verifying that.

They’re not. It’s fake
