Yeah too bad they didn’t get into it earlier, but it has hit a critical mass of users and attention lately.

The reason people post on these sites is to make themselves heard I guess. You just have to ignore or block your way into the level of interaction you’re comfortable with.

Sure the billionaire buying stuff thing happens, but a Nazi billionaire?
- Comment on The Great Migration to Bluesky Gives Me Hope for the Future of the Internet 2 days ago:
To be fair Musk buying twitter and turning it into a Nazi propaganda site was kind of flukey.

Wow that is outrageous. Hopefully there are still sideloading ereaders on the market by the time my current one dies, I don’t want to have to go search for one on ebay.

Sadly Mozilla is not immune to following the dumb fads that run through Silicon Valley, but Firefox is still clearly the best browser option.

- Comment on Yet more examples of how copyright destroys culture rather than driving it 4 months ago:
No copyright is about the “right” to “copy” the work in question, not the attribution. Works that are in the public domain still list the author.
- Comment on Yet more examples of how copyright destroys culture rather than driving it 4 months ago:
Shortening the time is good, and adjusting it while it still does apply to allow for more legal free sharing of the work.
- Comment on Yet more examples of how copyright destroys culture rather than driving it 4 months ago:
Eliminating copyright doesn’t mean they’d be allowed to lie about who wrote what they were publishing. Anything an artist creates blowing up and gaining wide appreciation is very good for that artist’s future prospects. An artist who is spreading their work for free anyway is much better off in the scenario where there’s no copyright and everyone understands the need to tip / patronize their favorite artists.
- Comment on Yet more examples of how copyright destroys culture rather than driving it 4 months ago:
If you are already sharing something for free in order to gain publicity, what is the downside of others repackaging them and spreading them further? That is exactly the kind of publicity you’re trying to gain.
- Comment on Yet more examples of how copyright destroys culture rather than driving it 4 months ago:
“your proposal would harm young artists who need to share their works in order to gain publicity for something they intend to sell and sustain themselves on.”
The default is already for young artists to share a lot of their work hoping to get noticed. Getting rid of copyright would be reorienting the whole system to center that experience more rather than the established artists and art producing corporations who now are in a strong enough position to charge. “Making it” would just mean that your patreon was doing gangbusters rather than selling a lot of copies of whatever your art is.
- Comment on Yet more examples of how copyright destroys culture rather than driving it 4 months ago:
Yeah Project Gutenberg really demonstrates how this is all pretty much already built, just illegal to include recent works in. Though of course that’s just books where the post copyright free library could also include all other art and culture such as tv, radio, movies, images, games, etc
- Comment on Yet more examples of how copyright destroys culture rather than driving it 4 months ago:
I’m more open to burning the whole edifice of copyright law down than you are, but the key reform that I want that maybe we could agree on is that it should be legal to distribute coprighted works for free. No need to to let someone else try to make a profit by undercutting your sales, but if someone is willing to make and distribute copies (or ecopies) of a work to no profit for themselves they should be allowed to. What that would mean in practice if it was legal would be an online content library containing all human art and culture, freely available for download to all comers. It might hurt the income of some creators, but you’d still have a lot of other ways to make money that don’t entail depriving people of that library.

Haha probably better to keep the tube closer to the surface of the Earth.

If only we had a series of pneumatic tubes connecting all our homes, you could order something online and have it pop up right next to you minutes later.
