It's kinda comparable in terms, but because both licenses have comparable copyleft "no rights may be removed and no terms added" restrictions they conflict and can't be merged.

CDDL came after GPL, and I'm not convinced by the arguments for why it was used (to make some kind of development with commercial modules easier, but this could've been done with GPL + exceptions)

That license plus patents (which only are freely licensed to the CDDL implementation specifically) means you can't just rewrite it for Linux either. You'd have to wait for the patents to expire and then do clean room reverse engineering.

It does this by encrypting the OS separately from apps and user data. The OS is auto unlocked (usually using a hardware TPM chip).

The boot order of the component which handle encryption has an effect on which other system components which reliably can be scripted to automate stuff with that data.

Tldr if it's just for your documents, sure. If you've got sensitive program data / config there, it makes it harder to autostart them because now you have to wait.

The problem isn't all the people, it's the leverage that sufficiently terrible governments has against companies in their jurisdiction

Also they only make referral fees because they're not a registrar themselves

Technically, in some jurisdictions a person who is widely known to be unreliable is harder to sue for libel precisely because the likelihood of reputational injury is lower if nobody actually believes the claim.

Trump's non-stop racism like not allowing black people to rent anything in his properties isn't comparable to drug convictions. His mafia ties throughout his whole life aren't comparable to petty theft convictions. Him suing contractors to avoid paying isn't comparable either. A whole damn insurrection is very far from it too.

How do you convince people somebody like Trump is dangerous without pointing to their actions?

It's certainly possible, although harder. Parallax effects should be visible in a real road, which it wouldn't be in a painting of a road.

But it doesn't track how the image changes as it moves, so Teslas can't catch that.

It's specifically about what kind of crimes he committed (fraud, putting others in danger) and that he's continuing to commit crimes without remorse that is the problem, not some long past history.

People can change, but they have to want to change, and Trump does not.

Pretty sure the roads are discontinuous in the original post too
