That would essentially be patching the vulnerability. A temporary fix would be just preventing the sidebar from being editable.

(Ideally the vulnerability would be patched, but these things take time.)

"I'm a legitimate person."

Wait, did someone cast [[Witness Protection]]?

There's enough women out there that sending one as a delegate to a women's empowerment conference is not going to require pulling one out of a meeting about Ukraine armaments.

There's actually a lot of women around. So, so many. It's actually a little intimidating just how many women there are.

Having indefinite trademarks will mean we will eventually run out of names, as every name will eventually be taken over many years.

This, I think, is the core of the issue for you, correct?

That's not how trademarks work. There are plenty of authors out there with the same name as other authors (like, literal authors, not in the general sense of creators of works). There are plenty of companies that have the same name as other companies, be that essentially the same or actually the same.

This ticks off the Joe example. Atari is a brand, that brand is IP, so that's a separate issue. I'm not sure what you're even trying to say about Atari there, though I'm pretty sure if the Atari trademark disappeared immediately on Atari's collapse you'd just see another company start trading as Atari, which under your prescription would be legal, and the world would be functionally identical in relation to the Atari trademark.

As a software engineer, well, it would be remarkably difficult for my industry to pay its workers if copyright didn't exist.

Hold up. What purpose, exactly, does having trademarks expire on the death of the author have? What do we gain from that?

[-] ChemicalRascal@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Hold up, it was originally supposed to be a trade show for journalists. It's always been about the big corporations. They've always had a dominance over the event.

The problem was that E3 was seen by the public as something to desire access to, as being exclusive and so on. This drove the organising body to open it up to more general access. In doing so, the audience changed, so the content on display changed, and it became a shitty version of PAX.

And that's what killed it, in turn.

Okay, sure, but what about venting in a community that is intended to be about Reddit, not a community that is intended to be about something other than Reddit?

The thing about automod comments is that they were, indeed, comments. As such, they showed up in your replies.

So if you made a post, you'd get that message in a place you would expect to see content that you would actually want to engage with, that is, people discussing your post.

So, in short, yes.

This is off-topic.

No, no, I think it would ultimately be better to rely on people to post stuff. But scraping links would be better than using the API.

Well, go on, what did you post, then?
