Movie theaters are really expensive, so I'm not paying attention to what Hollywood is making right now.

So the first few are classic math definitions for 0, 1, and 2.

After that I got bored.

  • Have you also experienced this worsening of DuckDuckGo?

Yes.

  • Which other more privacy-respecting alternatives do you recommend?

I'm in the same boat. I'll be trying out these answers.

That could be our new Lemmy slogan.

There's a couple of them, I think.

I found this one:

Also doesn't the GPL use IP law for enforcement of copy left?

That's very probably Jack Dorsey's motive in this. Briefly void all IP law, then restore it in a messy way that leaves everything owned by his lawyers.

I've created lots of things. The moment I finish creating it, I sign over my IP rights in exchange for money for food, and never have a right to it again.

Without IP law, the thing I created would at least be in the commons where I can still legally use it.

(I agree with your point, some IP law could be better than none. But I'll assert that a total void of all IP law would be better than what we have now.

And we need to theaten to void it all, to get the current rights holders to negotiate. Frankly, I don't think they will. I think we need to void all IP law and then encourage the next generation to create some new IP law after we starve our current billionaires.)

(All this is in spite of my objection to being on the same side of any argument with Jack Dorsey. I have no illusion that his motives are pro-social.)

what stops them from replicating my thing with more money and resources?

That's what happens today, anyway. Most of us cannot afford the lawyers to make the law work for us.

In contrast, if we re-use an innovation the billionaires have purchased, we go to jail.

The surprisingly deep copy of Balatro in "Dave the Diver" is pretty good.

But we just hope that harsh chemicals will cover up the natural consequences of our inhumane practices. So I can see both sides.

Please send help. We're disgusting.

Patrick Stewart's Captain Picard trying to teach Brent Spiner's Data how to play poker at the beginning of Picard.

"The Mandalorian" is fantastic space western, and worth watching for what it is, if you can ignore the Star Wars connection.

It might tempt you to also watch "Boba Fett", which does not stand in it's own at all, but does weirdly contain a couple of good enough bonus episode of "The Mandalorian" for marketing reasons.
