The example case they give is more that the New York Times account can verify that a given, other, account actually is the account for one of their journalists.
To do that with domains, NYT would need to create a subdomain of theirs and let the journalist use it. At that point, might as well let the journalist use their own domain as well as have the NYT account verify the journalist’s account.

That’s one of the least worrying aspects of abolishing copyright for me. but then again, the whole “control what others do with your creation” never sat right with me in the first place. I tend to fall into the “property is theft” line of reasoning.
With regards to profit sharing in particular, well, I think copyright law is a paltry, dirty bandage that covers up the festering wound of for-profit art. At the very least, the wound needs to be cleaned and the bandage changed.

Unironically: the patriarchy. “Women and sex exist to serve men’s interests” thus, pleasuring a women in a manner most often associated with that of a man being pleasured by a women (oral sex aka blowjobs here) is ceding too much power to women.
They’re actually confused why women won’t touch them? Jesus.
My thoughts exactly.

This one gets me, as when I learned of the concept of “classic rock” Nickelback’s “How You Remind Me” had just came out.

I guess our compensation is being able to be content with what we already have, and not having to constantly worry about someone finding out.

Lol. The kings left in Europe have little power over their people, and even less over their governments. I doubt Trump wants to be a figurehead that everyone ignores when it comes to actually governing.
Not to mention over here in France, we got rid of our kings. And when they came back, we ended up getting rid of them again.

I wish I could set aside my convictions and care for others to make money this easily.

The whiplash from the two titles in your second pic really hit me hard

To extend your metaphor: be the squirrel in the digital forest. Compulsively bury acorns for others to find in time of need. Forget about most of the burial locations so that new trees are always sprouting and spreading. Do not get attached to a single trunk ; you are made to dance across the canopy.

- Comment on It's 2025 now, what are the games you'll be starting the year with? 3 months ago:
Metal Gear Rising : Revengeance
I watched a few playthroughs earlier this year, and was struck by the games’ vibes. Maybe I’ve become jaded, maybe 2013 was just a different time, but the over-the-top-bombastic, gratuitous-yet-totally-sincere meditation on power, violence, and humanity feels incredibly relevant, not to mention a breath of fresh air compared to the games I see coming out today.
It’s also very similar to the type of video game I’d like to make someday, so it counts as homework as well!
Not to mention it feels like half of the media/art that I love from the past 10 years has been heavily influenced by this game, so playing it could give me a fuller appreciation for them.
- Comment on Arch Linux and Valve Collaboration 6 months ago:
To be fair, weren’t Valve the first company to do that? People were really annoyed at having to install steam just to play some Half-Life.
Of course, that was only 1 launcher, no launcher-in-launcher shenanigans back then.
