Thank you for this. I consider myself technical and those words felt like a punch in the gut.

So the question isn’t if ordinary people can exert copyright over their content, they absolutely can.

The reason people seem unaware of this is because the crux is that other then a rare exception no ordinary person can sue a megaorg like google or meta and win. For mostly trying to find a literal army of lawyers and corrupt bureaucrats would be mental health suicide.

That’s exactly how capitalism likes it and thats how they stay on top in a position to lobby lawmakers, which is yet another thing you are definitely legally allowed to do as an individual.

This is a reaction on a reaction.

On an article, which is actually a complaint that someone is complaining.

Which was really much more of a mention of an annoyance.

From one of them egocentric billionaires who for lack of public places to be alone was talking on stage once more.

And the audience listened, The media reported. And the people felt.

~I dont know why i wrote this but i strangely enjoyed it.*~

I am confused. Is this satire looking factual news on a real satire website?

A zoo with pretend fantasy animals still relying on real animals to sell the effect seems like a trend we may want to know about because of how shady it is.

Wanna see a real natural animal, all cool and fun.

accept the real natural surroundings it requires to live and thrive (i only know 2 zoos irl that do it properly)

Wanna see fantasy creatures, also cool. Go see some in vr or a video game and accept there not actually real.

Animal welfare wont change unless we keep the discussion going

A whole 11.5 hours of extra sleep next to a nostalgia machine?? Count me in.

I wasn’t disagreeing just adding to the chain of things wrong with the world :)

Capitalism loves fascism because it helps inequality. Its hard to exploit a society where everyone is equal, helpful and tolerant.

Capitalism

Agree on your second point but i doubt your first is relevant.

Its true what you say about alcohol but cannabis too was cultivated before recorded history, estimated to have started 12000 years ago at the same time we figured out farming in general.

For most of human history it was a well known medicinal plant (in asia)

It did exist in Europe and America but i knowledge about drugs just wasn’t all that common while brewed alcohol drinks, which where much healthier then dirty unboiled water was common everywhere. I bet if someone passed you a joint in those times you’d just assume its a weird brand of Tobacco and because thc and cbd balance was on a more natural level you wouldn’t have gotten very high from it.

I am also looking for this. I default to fitgirl because its the only trustworthy source in the scene that i know.

Oc i can just try and find a torent myself but with so many fakers out there, people uploading game files even if there is no working crack available, it feels like gambling.

This is above it “ Current observational evidence (WMAP, BOOMERanG, and Planck for example) imply that the observable universe is flat to within a 0.4% margin of error of the curvature density parameter with an unknown global topology.[1][2] It is currently unknown if the universe is simply connected like euclidean space or multiply connected like a torus. To date, no compelling evidence has been found suggesting the universe has a non-trivial (i.e.; not simply connected) topology, though it has not been ruled out by astronomical observations.”

I am not going to say i fully understand this stuff but i regularly read into this fascinating stuff.

The observable universe may from our perspective and all our use cases be completely flat but thats not the same as fully proven and non curving geometric flat.

Torus shape, weird as is sounds like is still in the cards.

I am pretty sure we have no such evidence of the sort. Last i checked the universe being torus/donut shaped was still in the cards.

I need em rare pink floyd bootlegs if anyone has some.

It was his intention to do this last time.

Gog tries but its only drm free till its not.

Looking at you Cult of the lamb!

Over time people from that initial spike realized that the platform isn’t what they expected/liked, some likely went back to their previous platform but i am going to be optimistic and say they moved to mastodon.

The climb we see now is fresh users that heard of lemmy and are now checking it out.

//This is how i read this graph, other interpretation may be possible, you can’t really know for certain without more data.

Bot, That completely depends on the show but i don’t recall many kids show really coveting themes of death. Mostly just a vague “defeat” which doesn’t happen because they need to escape for another time.

Scooby-doo was clearly about containing.

Was this lemmy or reddit?

Laws do change actually and thats a good thing.

I understand there are many things way worse then what we have now and in many ways i consider myself fortunate to have the life i have.

“laws are backed up with the threat of violence”

As a pacifist how do i even respond with how much issue i take with that. The word “treat” alone. I do not function like that.

I do make an exception for defensive violence, maybe some other like survival or accidental types of violence, but other than that any use of violent force makes me unwilling to belong to the same group, especially if its systematic, makes me firmly against them.

To me it barely sounds different then sure we sacrifice a newborn now and then but its all in the name of safety you see the gods be mad otherwise.

While i have found a way to be both a member of society (my job provides free healthcare to children) ideology wise i fully resist any oppressive system.

You’re right about rights, though this is a matter of perception. To me rights aren’t something that are given, but things that no one can take from you without being morally incorrect. For example as a living being you require food to survive, to deny you food is to commit an act of evil. So the way i see it you have a right to food. As nuance i’ll add that personally no one is really obligation to respect anyones rights or to be good. But as a social creature most surely understand the value of mutual respect and community.

So the lesser evil is still evil, we can and must do better, move forward as a species.
