[14:05:45]<mstenta[m]>Gosh... another one! https://www.getfarmos.farm/
[14:07:32]<mstenta[m]>๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ
[14:08:01]<symbioquine[m]>Bummer
[14:08:58]<mstenta[m]>Gonna need to train an AI just to scan for AI-generated farmOS knockoffs and send trademark notification emails!
[14:11:08]<symbioquine[m]>mstenta[m]: Intern project opportunity? ๐Ÿค”
[14:16:10]<mstenta[m]>Ahh I just found two more!
[14:16:11]<mstenta[m]>https://fs25.net/farmos-v1-0/
[14:16:14]<mstenta[m]>https://farm-os.app/
[14:16:27]<mstenta[m]>๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ
[14:17:25]<mstenta[m]>And the email bounced on the first one... ๐Ÿ˜”
[14:18:27]<symbioquine[m]>To mods@fs25.net ?
[14:18:36]<mstenta[m]>How do we deal with cases like that, where they are effectively anonymous?
[14:19:05]<mstenta[m]>Yea saw that for fs25.net... but the getfarmos.farm email address listed support@farmos.ag, which bounced.
[14:19:17]<mstenta[m]>I'll try info@getfarmos.farm ๐Ÿคท
[14:20:38]<symbioquine[m]>mstenta[m]: Show the paper trail (of trying to contact) to the domain registrar or hosting company and ask them to help.
[14:21:09]<symbioquine[m]>They're required to have valid contact info to keep the domain/hosting online.
[14:21:28]<mstenta[m]>Yea, that's the only way I suppose
[14:21:33]<mstenta[m]>Blah
[14:23:53]<symbioquine[m]>You just have to have a paper trail showing you've been doing the due-diligence defending the trademark right?
[14:25:31]<mstenta[m]>Yea, that's my understanding
[14:27:02]<symbioquine[m]>Hopefully none of it actually requires getting to the C&D step of escalating ๐Ÿคž
[14:28:15]<mstenta[m]>I created an account on https://farm-os.app and I'm submitting a support ticket... ๐Ÿ™„
[14:32:18]<mstenta[m]>Man... this one (https://www.getfarmos.farm/#) has a "Free Trial" button that sends you right to a Stripe payment page
[14:32:48]<mstenta[m]>(Can probably also reach out to Stripe)
[14:33:27]<symbioquine[m]>Some could also be scams ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ
[14:33:43]<mstenta[m]>Yea
[14:34:19]<mstenta[m]>https://lookup.icann.org/en/lookup lists abuse@namecheap.com for an abuse contact email, so I'll just start there ๐Ÿคท
[14:34:36]<symbioquine[m]>Nice
[14:46:07]<mstenta[m]>https://farmos-app.com/
[14:46:11]<mstenta[m]>https://www.farmos.ai/
[14:46:32]<mstenta[m]>https://farmonaut.com/usa/farmos-open-source-farm-cattle-financial-manag...
[14:49:03]<mstenta[m]>This is the first time I've searched for "farmOS" in a while... :-/
[14:49:46]<mstenta[m]>I don't like this future. :-(
[15:10:40]<mstenta[m]>Found this (for future reference): https://acidtool.com/
[15:14:51]<symbioquine[m]>mstenta[m]: Cool
[15:55:14]<aislinnpearson[m]>This is crazy Mike. Iโ€™m sorry this is the future!
[15:55:47]<mstenta[m]>I guess it means we picked a good name? ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿคท
[16:29:32]<aislinnpearson[m]>Thereโ€™s no denying it.
