I agree, but I think all intellectual property laws should be repealed. I came to the conclusion that patent, copyright, and trademark are all varying levels of bad years ago and I think it clearly holds the human race and human progress back by limiting creative iteration.
What a pompous position to take. I sure hope you don’t make important decisions anywhere.
I’m peddling something that may very well be true, and things like this happen all across the world, all the time. I’m not trying to be a jerk, but I’m kinda trying to say that you appear naive in my eyes.
For governments, and organizations ends are often considered justified by means and that’s not even a crazy position to take.
Conspiracies literally happen, and honestly a lot of change in the world, or research, or political coups would be fundamentally impossible without them. You, like me, don’t have all the information needed to even know quite frankly.
That’s how the world actually works.
Not to feed conspiracy theories, but it’s very likely October 7th was known about and it was decided that letting it happen was more politically convenient to justify the ‘war’ happening now.
Israel has terrifying Intelligence that is world class, you might be underestimating it to be completely honest. By most accounts, it’s the most efficient and powerful intelligence and counterintelligence agency in the entire known world.
That’s on you if you want to dismiss my insights on the basis of the language I use to express ideas. Pretty surface level evaluation tbh, bruh.
Bro you have hundreds of tons of cold stone on the moon. I didn’t say space.
Yes but also no, might be significantly easier to cool for instance and no environmental concerns.
I got downvoted by people without critical thinking skills. A plant on the moon isn’t in space, it’s on the moon, a large cold rock, I don’t understand why no one charitably understood you can dissipate heat into the actual moon which is not warm and quite cold.
Nintendo doesn’t have a legal right to go after NES clones in the States because the patent on the NES expired and anyone is legally allowed to make perfect duplicates of NES hardware.
The only legal ground Nintendo has is software copyright for games they published and / or licensed ( probably just published )
This shows so much privilege. Apartments, townhomes, condominiums. Sometimes you’re scrolling through pages of Wi-Fi networks from your neighbors looking for your own SSID right next to the device.
Yeah, you can’t do shit about open Wi-Fi networks near you and promiscuous devices.
At Midnight! OMG super in joke on our really niche, non pop culture website.
In English the ‘base’ of the word is ‘operate’. Co, an affix ( prefix ) modifies operate and means something like ‘operate together’, and can even be written as co-operative ( noun ) or co-operate ( verb, but antiquated in my opinion ) .
So it’s usually written without the dash, but when it’s shorted to ‘coop’ I think it’s best to use the dash as it removes ambiguity.
Depends on the size of the flock in the coop
The ‘and they have a plan’ is Battlestar Galactica
Eventually decentralized services with anonymity will be killed by the EU, they already want to stop all text encryption, the way anyone can stand up a server and run it however it’s already in conflict with the GDPR.
Microsoft saw Google and Apple do this with phones, and Steam do this with games, and that’s why they made the Windows store a thing starting with 8.
They wanted to go the same direction.
Yes, that’s the implication, and it’s certainly intentional for you to think of it like that.
Honestly I think everything should move to 20.
Alcohol purchase, consumption. Military conscription, draft, voluntary service Age of majority, marriageable age Voting with automatic voting registration Drug consumption including nicotine, caffeine, and cabinets Driving ( permits at a prior age with supervision )
We know people’s brains aren’t really formed enough even at 18 to consider people adults, this younger age is a hold over from even younger ages and doesn’t reflect reality.
People who are not fully developed shouldn’t be able to make decisions with the full weight of adulthood, to take any other position is barbaric.
