That's not ancap libertarianism nor effectively even mundane libertarianism, ultimately. In a practical sense that libertarianism is only opposed to strictly chattel slavery (at best! Get many libertarians behind closed doors they may not even go that far!), not things like debt slavery, wage slavery, company scrip, etc.

Because they ultimately don't generally care about market freedom, they want the unrestricted power to be feudal lords of their polities.

Under the extremes of libertarianism the logic for why slavery would not happen isn't that "it wouldn't be allowed", remember, they view a government system as bad, there's not strictly a government to enforce a lack of slavery.

The extreme libertarian position is that the market will self regulate moral bads, so slavery would only be disallowed inasmuch as it was uneconomical to forcefully enslave people. This, under their reasoning, might be true because you're under contract with a security company who keeps you from getting enslaved, among other services, and will actively go to corporate war to protect the sanctity of their contracts for fear of losing business in the future.

This is obviously a fantasy.

Libertarians generally have no qualms with slavery, not in a strict sense. Some libertarians certainly dislike it, but don't have a strict philosophical backing for why it wouldn't be allowed under true zero government systems.

legalization of slavery

I'm sorry but do you think private commerce had zero interest in the trade of flesh?

A government is not some magic special construct. Am authoritarian governance system is the same whether it's enacted by something with a national moniker or a corporate one.

Yeah I don't agree with the osd being the only approach to being open source. Turns out people have differing opinions on that. You're welcome.

It wasn't a response to my comment because you didn't respond to my comment. You said is proprietary. I point out that it's not a terrible license. Then you resort to a sound bite non response.

You could have pointed out for example that ftl 3.2 and 4.1 are pretty shitty limitations to impose.

Lol. Look it sure was authoritarian the specific method used to ban tik tok. But you're complaining about an authoritarian slap fight.

Ah. Of course. Something being open source doesn't make it open source. It all makes sense now thank you for clarifying.

That also wasn't technically a response to my comment, it was an ideological defense mechanism to avoid addressing the content of the license.

At this point I can only determine you are arguing for the sake of arguing.

Much of what you said is very wrong but it's not worth arguing about.

This license while not the most permitting does not appear to hide the code behind any proprietary shielding though.

Or you know, reducing thermal load by using broadly more efficient capacitors allowing you to shove more current in the car. Or by meeting grid scale requirements for car charging by smoothing out the grid impact of a bunch of charging at once. Or any number of benefits.

Ultimately this certainly benefits car charging. It benefits all electronics. No you won't be getting two second car charges with this.

Almost every electrical system on the planet uses capacitors. Especially high power systems. Of which evs are.

"No real point in mixing capacitors in with a large battery" ?? That's done literally all the time for both filtering and for intermittent high power output. Like when I say almost every electrical system uses caps, I mean almost every electrical system.

More of an actual comment, good. More efficient capacitors in both speed and heat certainly helps in charging devices of all sizes. Of course it wouldn't be charging large batteries in seconds, but that doesn't mean no improvement.

Why do you feel that the researchers are wrong about their physics research?

It's not just the user agent that fingerprints a user.

Hence a good most of the exact comment you responded to.

No it's a security and fingerprinting tradeoff.

The more your browser acts to hide your behaviors and limit tracking, the more unique your fingerprint is. The most private browser setup is one which appears to be identical to all the other traffic in a non unique way, or noise. This definitionally lacks information for tracking.

Also security flaws and tracking exploits need to be constantly patched.

This is a fundamental tradeoff for privacy. Using more obscure browsers can (not always) then expose you to behavioral fingerprinting because they look different and react to web pages differently.

Charitably I am fairly certain they are making fun of this particular meme and not in general. This meme is certainly something many people experience autism or not, though there are reasons toys experience might stick out for those with autism.
