I think you selected the wrong license. Your license currently as written actually forbids _using_ the software for a commercial purpose, eg if someone monetizes a video edited using your software, they are in violation of your license, which is not what you want.

Look at something like the Hashicorp BSL [1] for inspiration on crafting a license that forbids specific commercialization of the software itself.

You are right. Thanks for the insights! I just changed the license to ELv2.

Then it became a BBS door game!

the Drugwars and Tradewars BBS door games were so great!

I'm honestly amazed there isn't a toilet there? Like, there's toilets at gas stations, why wouldn't they (by default) put toilets in a supercharger lot?

That's pretty cheap! I mean, does Tesla expect people to use the toilet at a gas station when they're not even buying gas?

It’s really not that cheap at all in major city cores.

Gas stations around me do not generally have a public restroom due to the sheer amount of abuse they are subject to. The very few that do are the “get a key from the attendant after purchase” variety and you’d only use those in a very very dire emergency. You also have to know to ask and likely be known by the attendant since they all have “no public restroom” signs.

It’s a tragedy of the commons sort of situation. Any business that provides it requires 24x7 on-site personnel willing to get into fights with the homeless, drug addicts, and mentally unwell folks. On top of the normal abuse the general public puts on such facilities. The police will be unlikely to respond to such trespassing calls in a timely manner.

An unmanned charging station would be an epic shitshow in a major city if it had public restrooms. You would be talking multiple six figures a year to maintain such a thing. It’s not a “send a cleaning crew once a day” sort of enterprise.

Hell, even with only ride share and delivery driver demographics it would be untenable. My alley is near a major commercial corridor but not crazy busy - with literally hundreds of trash cans lining both sides of it. Every weekend I’m picking up a couple bags worth of trash tossed out of the windows of DoorDash drivers, and every single night I have multiple drivers on my security cameras taking a piss behind my garage. The latter I understand and I “get it” - but the former is inexcusable since it would take literally 15 seconds to get out of your car to toss the McDonald’s bag into a can if you were assed enough to do so. Heck if it’s too cold out you could simply reach out your window and make it happen if you were so inclined.

The first time as a child going to the big city the toilets had blue lights! This was in the late 1980s.

That memory has always stuck with me.

Foreigners often complain that public toilets in the Netherlands cost money to use. Apparently in other places people enjoy cleaning toilets for free?

> You would be talking multiple six figures a year to maintain such a thing.

A trillion dollar company can afford it, as can the profits from a supercharger station. Plus, you can limit it to people who are paying to charge their cars (or their passengers).

I mean why would they.

If they lived in fantasy land with reasonable permitting and running a toilet ment paying for toilet paper, soap, and a janitor to clean it once a day I'm sure they would for the PR win and to sell a few extra Teslas.

In San Francisco as discussed in the article this would be an expensive permitting hassle, endless money sink, target for abuse, bad PR from people complaining about unsafe and unclean toilets, and a legal risk if any incidents happen.

Doing it well (so the toilets are clean and safe) obviously costs money. And obviously Tesla would prefer not to pay money. I don't think that's the issue you think it is. Tons of pollution mitigation efforts cost money that companies don't want to pay and yet work because of laws requiring them.

My city tried to force a public toilets ordinance on local businesses. Those businesses either ignored it or converted to take out only or other business models where they were not bound by the law.

It got rolled back pretty quick.

Plenty of businesses will simply call your bluff for such silliness. They do not exist to solve social issues local government created in the first place.

If local governments can’t even afford to keep public restrooms going at parks, public transit stations, etc. it’s not reasonable to expect businesses to shoulder that cost for them.

Tesla Superchargers aren't going to be able to convert to take out only or other business models

Such businesses will close shop.

Tesla superchargers make enough that they can cover the cost of bathrooms and still be profitable.

Keeping them clean is the easy part. Doing it well would require building the infrastructure, maintenance, manning the station, preventing drug abuse etc, and getting into liabilities due to said abuse.

Tons of businesses stop doing business if they are forced into efforts that dont make money. The city/state should own sanitation. Not private companies.

Meanwhile, gas stations with toilettes are completely normal and standard.

If you have a business that involves people staying fir long, you have to have wc. They will need to piss and shit, that is given.

Gas stations with toilets are absolutely not normal and standard in these sorts of areas. Including where I live.

Yes, they are normal in most places - but there are areas public restrooms effectively do not exist due to the amount of abuse they take and the zero political or societal interest in fixing those issues or helping local businesses out with appropriate law enforcement or whatnot.

It was pretty rough for me driving through downtown Atlanta - nowhere seemed to have public restrooms.

Around my home every business will have a public restroom, or a not-so-public restroom that's still available if you ask.

Costs money to operate.

And anything remotely close to a public toilet in SF is doomed to disaster.

Yeah exactly, build a library of a hundred or so stock game templates and just let the model configure / modify them as needed. Would cover most use cases.

Art. Creative coding is creating art, be that visual art or music.

Art is always left undefined. This is a feature, not a bug.

So, a number of different BBS servers supported multiple incoming lines (effectively multitasking inside of the BBS server application itself, not by running multiple copies of the software on the same machine), typically up to 8 in one machine either using a special communications card that connected to a number of external modems or by stuffing internal modems into as many ISA slots as you can (typically up to 6 so you still had IO and video, 7 if you ran 'headless'.)

Some BBS servers also supported multiple instances by connecting to a master server, which supplied dynamic content such as chat, forum messages and e-mails or door game data to all of the other machines. In large markets a BBS having dozens of lines was not uncommon.

Did USSR shatter that with Afghanistan, or USA with Vietnam?..

If they invalidate every contested fine nobody has any standing to make a legal complaint.

They're only invalidating it if you fight it. The people who paid it and later realized it was unconstitutional may have standing.

I think you're probably still going to need all of those people, just less of them to accomplish the same amount of work. It's the nature of LLMs that they will always need oversight. Having 20 or even 100 of them agree on something is never going to be 100% accurate -- it can't, the randomness and hallucinations are part of the secret sauce. There will always be a need for people to verify what they do. That said, it was the exact same when people were doing the work.

It's able to download packs but you have to disable Lulu when you first run the screen saver itself because Lulu doesn't seem to detect its network access (and can't allow you to approve it)

It seems to also download the HTML for the 16colors page, and will occasionally display it.
