pondering how it could be made so that eulas aren't so terrible

i wonder if it'd help to have standardized ones kinda like how you know the basic ideas of what you're allowed to do if you see the header "GNU General Public License version whatever"

it'd kinda be nice for that to be an option for non-free licenses too? go with a modular design like CC so you can add and remove bits, but they're standardized bits

and then have plain english explanations in addition to the requisite legalese

blech, someone favorited a ton of our stuff on FA last night and we went to see who they are and their profile starts out with saying that they're a member of some kind of anti-communist-furs group and an anti-antifa group

-F

the tricky bit now is that they don't know who has the internet that we're paying for

they said the plan is basically to just unplug it on their end and see who calls to complain
-F

aaaa. tech was here to fix internet stuffs and figured out why we're getting slow internet after three hours of troubleshooting but couldn't fix it

it turns out we've been paying for someone else's internet and someone else has been paying for ours
