A good time to ask this question after it’s used for good and we have politicians in office who aren’t against the will of the people, not before

Not interested in that other stuff, but are there any sites you recommend that are closer to the old qa?

Yeah that’s new 2014+ Reddit technology, back in the early days of the internet sarcasm was a lot harder to detect and you were expected to figure it out with context haha, lots of us don’t know people expect /s and still try to be sarcastic without /s and instead use clues like emojis at the very end to denote it’s not serious like “lol” or “haha” or ;-; or T-T

Open source is effectively no different than public domain in this situation. You don’t have less rights

Making source available suddenly makes it free of copyright

Copyleft “fanfics” are what we call the entire SCP universe. CC-BY-SA is just like the GPL. Notice it’s not CC-BY-SA-NC (NonCommercial). Labor, even if it’s “mods” or “fanfics” is still labor. What, suddenly your work grew in value because it was based off of a different license agreement? The hard work didn’t change, yet it suddenly legitimately grew in value?
If i ever made a game, im making sure everything is released cc by sa and a FLOSS software license for the source code. Because fuck the mentality that says your work isn’t valuable simply because I didn’t give you a license to “my stuff”

- Comment on Microsoft has now fired the employees who publicly protested the company supplying AI tech to the Israeli military 2 months ago:
Coops are companies that are worth championing in a capitalist setting, no? While money and capitalism is ever prevalent and seemingly necessary to interact with for survival, it’s good to have an option like a coop
- Comment on Microsoft has now fired the employees who publicly protested the company supplying AI tech to the Israeli military 2 months ago:
And we can be hopeful for companies to have solid principles where if they are accused of genocide that they reflect on their actions instead of firing, and hope for a future where that’s the expectation instead of apathy.

- Comment on Apple shipped five plane-loads of iPhones and other products in three days to beat US tariff deadline 2 months ago:
Tariffs apply when they arrive at port, not when you order. Yours might not ever show up because if they don’t pay the tariffs by EOD after arriving at port they get destroyed.
- Comment on Framework “temporarily pausing” some laptop sales because of new tariffs 2 months ago:
You pay tariffs once the product hits the port. If you don’t have the cash when they arrive to pay the tariffs (which you didn’t plan for because all this happened in weeks and not many budgets accounted for it) then they destroy your cargo at end of day and you have until then to pay up. It’s a 54% tariff on laptop hardware so you better be liquid.
My assumption is framework wasn’t.
