improperly included GPL code

Shouldn't that force a GPL release of the rest of the code, at least the bits they had the rights to?

And these days magnet links are everywhere, making it even a little simpler

The reason is given in the article.

They don't want the carcasses to attract grizzlies close to trails where human traffic is expected.

I notice you didn't mention Drupal or Joomla, and last time I did any webdev (11 years ago as an intern) it seemed like those were some of the big ones (though my perspective was probably very limited back then). Are they no good, have they fallen out of favour?

no one wants anything better

More like there is nothing better people can agree on. You might like SCION with it's RAINS architecture, where the trust anchors are local to the isolation domains. This way you could build up name resolution where you only depend on the local ISPs that form the core of your isolation domain. In my team we are supporting SCION, in fact we are in the core of one ISD, but the uptake on the customer side is relatively low so far. There are two or three niches that are using SCION more, but not RAINS yet, as far as I know.

even just different

Just different is not really attractive, unless people feel like IANA is really messing things up, or the US is exerting undue influence over it. So far they seem to have avoided making that impression widely.

I think it's more of a historical accident that nobody really finds ideal, but there is also no good alternative solution that has a critical mass assembled behind it.

It all started with Jon Postel just taking on the job of keeping track. This is an interesting topical document: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2468

It was fixed and now has this comment at the bottom:

An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that the Berlin Wall fell in 1990, not 1989. We regret the error.

Maybe they saw your comment

Wheelahan found that under Nevada law, merging Twitter into X turned Twitter into a "constituent entity," which then transferred all of Twitter's legal consequences to X Corp.

Isn't that how it works everywhere? What where they even arguing for?

Unless you put 100,000 miles on the lego truck 😄

The US doesn’t exactly approve or deny vehicles in general; any vehicle that conforms to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards can be sold

Sorry, I'm not getting the distinction here. Isn't a vehicle that conforms to the FMVSS the same as one that is approved?

Or is the check against FMVSS is not done ahead of time, but only later in any lawsuits?

Our trains don't generally dump those anymore.
