People in the Nordic countries have it way worse. There’s no excuse.

It’s not like it’s the same time for waking up, going to bed, or shops opening for everyone across the world.

If you still need a heads-up about when things are happening when you travel, we may as well just make time UTC globally.
Sune goes down at 4pm? Just wake up and go to work early.

If it isn’t publicly traded, they can’t take over it, enshitify it, and squeeze it until it’s useless. So of course they hate it.

If they sued games like Beat Hazard for letting players use their own music in the game, that’d be like suing a media player for letting people play music with it.

So imagine how much dumber this is.

Who could be for keeping that around?

That scam exists because of all the deregulation. With proper regulation all the people pushing NFTs would have had to pay back all they stole.

Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to me

So close, no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

If an advanced civilization in the future figures out a way to scan the minds of all sentient beings and put them in an afterlife simulation, then it’ll probably work like The Good Place after they fixed the issues with the system, and this guy would absolutely still be stuck in the purgatories, not yet a better person.

Old reddit still has all, at least for now.

If vegans really cared about these things more than keeping the moral high ground, they’d be focusing on practical solutions like making lab-grown meat and plant-based substitutes so tasty and affordable that corporations are the ones that start pushing for them, so they can’t stop spending on costly cattle.

I must admit they did mellow quite a lot. I’d feel safer at a gathering of juggalos than at a republican convention.

We should write fully phonologically in IPA. You have an accent? Write it down. I want to imagine the voice of the writer better when reading a paper.

Energy is cheaper where the government has a public alternative. That goes for all utilities and services.

That is solved with different degrees of copyright. If done right, the author’s works will never stop being theirs, but people will be able to make fanfiction without fear of a bloodthirsty copyright lawyer biting at their necks. They’d just have to clearly indicate it’s fanfic, and the original author could get a cut of any earnings past a threshold.

Create a great work that inspires another great work; both authors benefit.

I would go even further, for any media.

The moment a company ends access to a piece of media, it should almost automatically become public domain. With just a reasonable window of time to bring it back once inaccessible, just in case there are things like downtime, blackouts, or restructuring of services.

Disney decides they will no longer let you rent the original Snow White for a local movie theater in your city, or take it out from their streaming services, or creates an alternate edited version with any significant alteration other than a disclaimer or warning at the start but removes access to the original, and no one else has the rights on lease that gives that access instead, boom, public domain. You no longer have to wait until 2032 to make an exploitative low-budget horror movie version of it.

If they make a remaster of a game, they must keep access to the original. Sell only the remaster; the original becomes public domain for use, not the IP, within reason.
Any associated proprietary technologies, like a physics engine, get a limited lease of use with no cost for the original as it was, excepting modifications to allow it to run on other devices and newer devices.
So it wouldn’t be all of it becomes public domain, but it becomes something usable and maintainable by the public domain.
Remove access to the game and all versions and remasters, and the IP of that game goes fully public domain.

Yup. It’s getting closer, but not quite there. This is one of the things that AI could probably help with. Grabbing all drivers and solutions done and shared by everyone across different distributions and repositories, and putting together all the adjustments and final touches needed upon installation, obfuscating the process from the user. Something that a phone with specific components and characteristics doesn’t need, unlike a custom-made computer.

I wouldn’t be lazy if I cared about how the cake is made. Wait, bad analogy. I do like cooking.

But I hope you know what I mean. Have someone else do it. Have the user just install and plug things and they work, absolutely nothing else to be done, no need for research, asking a friend, wizards, troubleshooting tools, or tutorials.

Lazy.

Prodigy was a series for kids that adults could watch. I like to think this is a series for teens and young adults that adults can watch.

Lemmy is arguably more Star Trek than Reddit. It only makes sense.

Wait. Is there an LCARS lemmy frontend? We could really use that.

It’s conservation. Archeology is digging up what was once lost.
So finding a lost video game is archeology. Keeping it safe is conservation.
Ensuring games can’t be lost in the first place and that they continue to work in the future is preservation.

All needed, but different things.

If only there were a distro as lazy as using an Android device.
Every time I mention this, someone comes along and mentions one or another distro, and then the caveats that keep it from being as lazy as using an Android device.
