Plenty of Firefox forks out there.

Looks really good, Mike Judge is involved, but dammit it doesn't come out until 2025.

Tbf it's wikipedia, but the first line of the 2nd paragraph says:

The disease is caused by the monkeypox virus

Edit: wait lol all your links say that, and one of your links is the same wiki page. But yeah, that's exactly what I said: the disease is now called mpox, but the virus is still referred to as the monkeypox virus.

Monkeypox. I had to look it up, apparently they changed the name of the disease (presumably because of racists) but the virus itself is still called monkeypox.

The West Bank isn't a warzone.

The best example of attribution I know of was the 2018 Winter Olympics. This was shortly after the Russian doping scandal. Russia basically made a press release and said "The Olympics is going to be hacked, people are going to blame us for it but it totally isn't us." The hack happened, and it bore some of the hallmark signs of Russian hackers. However, it also had signs of being Chinese and also North Korean. They basically used techniques from every major nation state hacking group to cover their tracks. In the end it was still pinned on Russia, because one of the command and control servers previously had an IP address used in a Russian cyber attack on Ukraine. The indictment was also juicy, the US called the hacking group "petulant children".

There's a Darknet Diaries episode that covers it and goes into more detail:

The more I see of this guy the more I think we're meeting a future US president.

OP asked what their rights were, so that was the focus of my reply. You're right though, and I've said as much in my main comment, it's better to avoid the situation entirely than to stick a finger up and try to assert your rights.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 months ago

Almost not surprising. Inventors and R&D businesses patent things all the time, then it takes a while to claim them. There was a guy in Australia who apparently invented WiFi (he calls it "wiffey") and he successfully asserted his patent against WiFi manufacturers worldwide such that they paid him a couple pennies in royalties for every chip manufactured.

The saving grace is that patents only last for 20 years. After that, anyone can use the design, like Gillette's double edged safety razor (which is why their modern razors are so silly and change every few years).

Nope, it defaults to an informal tenancy if they've been living there long enough (usually something like 3 months), and this includes the time when they were under 18. So if a child grows up in the home, they automatically become a tenant at 18. This is also regardless of whether they actually pay rent.

You don't need a written contract for there to be a contract in place.

If OP's mom does not formally evict OP then OP would be able to sue for an unlawful eviction. In such a circumstance, OP would want to call the police to gain entry - if not to assert their tenancy rights and stay in the property then at least to collect their belongings.

Based on the use of "mom" and "OWI", almost certainly.
