If we have to pronounce every country or place as its residents call it then we should roast and ignore every English speaker that says "Germany" instead of Deutschland

The lowest hanging fruit here is probably Mexico

These don't fall under section 10 though - 7A through F detail the terms that are explicitly exempt from the restriction on adding additional terms.

Other people have argued that these are contradictory - but you don't need trademark rights to display a logo if the purpose of the display is to directly refer to the trademarked material. They are likely hoping for something along the lines of "powered by ". For example, Coca Cola logos and trademarks have appeared in TONS of Pepsi marketing materials, because those trademarks were used to directly refer to the coca cola brand, which is fair use.

I think what it comes down to is whether the courts see "displaying the logo" as "reasonable" attribution or not.

7b of the AGPL specifically allows additional terms to be added to the license as it pertains to preserving attribution or legal notices.

Canadian here - It's like our national dish. NOBODY calls it "mac and cheese" up here. Don't think of it as mac and cheese. don't compare it to mac and cheese. It's its own thing that occupies a completely different niche and scratches its own itch. Once you realize it's not meant to compare with real mac and cheese the healing can begin.

Take a Kirkland beef hot dog and finely slice it into half moons, cook them in a saucepan until it is crispy, and then deglaze with milk and add the cheese powder, before mixing in the cooked noodles. Optionally slather it with ketchup and/or sriracha.

Edit: Also president's choice (a no-name brand here in Canada) is objectively better than every other boxed mac and cheese product in existence (I have done blind taste tests) - Galen Weston is still a prick though

The AGPL license allows the license holder to specify additional terms of the license that require preservation of specified reasonable attributions or legal notices - this is covered in 7B, and the onlyoffice license specifies that the logo must be preserved for attribution.

Assuming a logo legally counts as reasonable attribution (IANAL) that would put only office in the right here, but holy shit, the fact that the license allows these modifications to be put on line #655 rather than line #2 is absurd. I, like most people I assume, only read far enough into the license to figure out whether it's MIT or GPL

This explanation is a really terrible explanation - it doesn't even explain the point of the study or what multiple comparisons are in statistics...

This is what the salmon study was saying - if you did a whole brain analysis with fmri without an a priori prediction you need to adopt a radically more stringent threshold for significance

The salmon in the MRI was a bowl with a million jellybeans in it

It's not a valid control unless you adjust for ivermectin consumption

I only took a cursory glance but a lot of that belongs to the UI framework (svelte)

Similar to react/vue, it's used to render the content on the page, and automatically update what's shown on the page when variables change value. This basically replaced jquery and the callback-hell that was mid-2000s web development

Denuvo is anti-piracy

I would love to see the breakdown by source, the national post is owned by a Republican billionaire so there's a big asterisk when calling it "Canadian Media"
