I'm not saying that they can't do it, it's that they can't legally do it.

That is the way with trademarks. X management has been very clear about stopping to use the name Twitter;
which means they won't use it anymore, therefore, they have no business continuing to claim a trademark.

That said the artists who drew the Twitter icon still get the copyright to their Logo and art assets, so another company shouldn't be able to just start using those. They will need to have to have their own art created.

If Elon really cared about the Twitter mark it would be, or would have been extremely easy; to keep a service Live using the mark.
Such as a Testbed website for X, for example, or an extra service to still be marketed under the Twitter name.. so called "Token use" wouldn't be sufficient, But you only need to have one actual service still using the branding to prevent it from being "abandoned". You can have a limited service with 100 customers, and still have the rights to your trademark. So If Elon/Twitter/X cares about this in the slightest; they should be able to easily block this proceeding. And you just need to resume use of it within 3 years to avoid it being abandoned under US law. So it's odd for them to petition the trademark office so early.. X can apply a new use of the mark within any schedule they want before that date. The attempt to usurp their IP would easily be blocked if X still cares in the slightest.

Ugh. Acrobat actually craps itself on forms now. The check boxes keep disappearing during scrolling, and I have the latest reader.

"The amount of raw materials used is significantly higher meaning the ecological impact is greater."

It isn't and that's also not how it works

No they did not. This story is about how they didn't. Learn to read, coward.

This isn't about a trademark. It's about a patented specification.

This is true. And the Republicans are the party of Nazis.

It's also a way to get around the prohibition on setting different prices for SNAP recipients. For example you can buy over the net from Costco with SNAP on Instacart but not directly. And the prices are higher there than on their site.

NO! This is an outrage! [slams table]

Our religious war should be about reader's choice vs writer's choice!

Ok, but which of those things came with the new law? A lot of what you're describing (I suspect all of it) was already in place. What changed for non-banned users?

Oh, so they're doing it the same way I take "good" photographs: by taking a fuckton of mostly-shitty photographs and trawling through them for the rare few which actually look decent.

Vaporware. If this feature doesn't make it into the Open Source driver so that I can know where my computer is, then I'm not going to buy any Nvidia hardware!

How did you get out of high school without knowing the difference between a hypothesis and a claim?

They did - although I have seen some Neo-Nasty stuff that used Fraktur. People make the association of that font with the Nasties.

I used to get their UN "reports" and other propaganda. I got tired of their "Eat bugs for protein" lectures.

Always the same thing.Some version of Stop eating meat, go vegan. Save the world.

The problem isn't that eating meat is killing the planet. Humans just do what humans do, just like tigers and lions do what they do, and cows gonna cow.

The problem is too damn many people trying to have a first world lifestyle while reproducing at a third world rate. And the present path doesn't elevate the third world, but turns the first world into third world.

I believe that humanity should strive to have a first world lifestyle for everyone. Not possible at present population levels. These things usually devolve into people claiming that Malthus was wrong, and will always for wrong. It is only possible for Malthus to always be wrong is the earth has infinite carrying capacity, and infinite resources.

Nature will likely take care of the population/resources issue if humanity does not.
