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.
When I put text on an image, I set a stong contrasting text border color (like black) to make it readable.
It would help greatly here.
Downpour is great for audio books. I was pleasantly surprised to find a non-mopoly replacement for Audible.
Did I miss something, or is a 12 year old in France now in (indefinite?) police custody for being curious online?
Blocking JavaScript makes it load fine, at least.
Altair Basic was released in 1978 for hardware that sold around 25,000 units..
I'm sure glad computing remained exactly equally complex since then, with exactly the same number of users, and same minimal diversity of use cases. (This is sarcasm.)
Everything should still take 10 days. Anyone who tells me it takes longer probably believes all that crap about the Internet being more than a passing fad. (Still sarcasm.)
Thanks for the heads up. I'll be buying one at the first opportunity.
My other action figures are going to have to stand in the shadow of the glory of "it's just Jack Black, I guess".
(No sarcasm. I'm really going to buy this. I love the idea of Jack Black just playing "Jack Black".)
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.)
