If you think the one on the left is more of a problem for the planet than the one on the right, then you are part of the problem.

I make everything public domain because I absolutely ignore all copyright and trademarks myself and don't want people annoying me about my code or other creative works. Just copy it or use it or do whatever the fuck you want to with it, don't bother me about it

Not every state is as friendly as this. There’s still potential to use eminent domain, tax adjustments, or even environmental sabotage to ruin this, among other things. Certain people are petty enough that they literally will fight to change state laws over allowing people to just live in peace.

Remember they aren't getting dos/win98/xp like we did.
They're getting either mac or win11, no local accounts, all cloud storage, win app store. It is not much different than android.
So to add on the list of proper things to do:
-No smart* anything.
-No tech illiteracy/finance an admin.
-Familial multi cession computer.
-FSF cert GNU/linux for the OS.

>The problem is unchecked free access to everything under the sun, whenever, wherever
It requires not being illiterate and that's not going away in the current context.

> The 'consultant', by way of the registry, is now greatly empowered to cut lucrative short-term deals that enables him/her to work various jobs of their choosing, all under the aegis of 'consulting'...a work-around to the status quo.

I hope they're charging them triple or more the rate they would have been making working for them.

> A big thing to figure out now is an alternative currency

Still volatile, but not on the level of crypto.

Speaking of indie games, has anyone gotten Mina the Hollower? I loved Shovel Knight and would like to know if it's worth getting.

"Meta had argued that it can't be sued in Vermont court because neither the company nor the app design has specific ties to the state. Vermont countered that the sites' large number of teen users gives its courts jurisdiction. "

Talk about seriously disturbing. They just threw out a legal concept called jurisdiction or more specifically nexus in one blow that protects everyone from having to obey the laws of every other state on the mere basis someone might use a product or site in another state.

There is no way anyone including a large entity could even begin to comply with the 10s of millions of laws that exist in just the 10,000 + legal jurisdictions within the United States.

What this means is everyone is effectively guilty of violating millions of laws simply because they posted something that can be accessed on the internet.

This is not the first time that US courts have accepted this kind of nonsensical argument.

It's getting more and more dangerous to live within the United States when foreigners can demand and get your extradition despite that you've NEVER even stepped into their jurisdiction.

If a states wants to extradite a liberal for saying means things on the internet what's to stop them now? Or vice versa for that matter.

The answer is pretty much nothing if you completely throw the concept of jurisdiction and nexus right out the window.

Previously accepted weak arguments have been "you have a site where the domain name was registered using a company in the United States and therefore we have jurisdiction".... or "you sent your physical property into another state (DVD rentals) therefore we can tax you" (pre-US Supreme court ruling that threw out nexus for sales taxes, which is probably the biggest can of worms).

>All these PC gaming blackpills about pricing and neglecting anti-cheat

Good thing that most of my gaming these days is just emulation that can run on a potato. I'm pretty much oblivious to most of the modern gaming cancers that way.
