  • Thing is that copywrite did serve a purpose and was for like 20 years before disney got it extended to the nth degree. The idea was the authors had a chance to make money but were expected to be prolific enough to have more writings by the time 20 years was over. I would like to see with patents that once you get one you have a limited time to go to market. Maybe 10 years and if you product is ever not available for purchase (at a cost equivalent to the average cost accounted for inflation or something) you lose the patent so others can produce it. So like stop making an attachment for a product and now anyone can.








  • I had heard about the fediverse at various times and when the api thing hit on reddit I checked it out and found it had matured nicely. Tried lemmy but liked kbin better but then something happened to earnest (still not exactly sure and wonder about it) so moved to an mbin instance. May switch to piefed but its still sorta finding itself and it takes me awhile to evaluate things when im not pushed.
