@beardalaxy im not really sure i even understand what theyre saying is this a good thing or a bad thing¿
@idiot @beardalaxy The US patent office is happy to approve any general idea patent as long as it's written creatively enough - even if them granting the patent is illegal.
@Suiseiseki @beardalaxy @idiot technically any computer (such as a laptop) with a webcam sold with the capability of encoding into a "visually lossless" video format violates a US patent granted to RED.

There was some drama before when Apple quite rightfully tried to sue, but failed because the federal government believes only RED should be allowed to connect a camera to a computer.

(It's technically more constrained on paper, but in practice covers virtually anything you'd want to use outside of speciality cameras)

@beardalaxy I don't care but less retarded intellectual property legal shit for everyone to deal with is a good thing even in nihon
@bajax @beardalaxy Imaginary property does not exist; https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/not-ipr.html

The relevant topic is patents - not trademark laws, not copyright laws, not trade secret laws or any other laws.
@Suiseiseki @beardalaxy I know I was trying not to sound like a know-it-all
@bajax @beardalaxy Unfortunately, you ended up spreading confusion.

I don't know it all, but I know quite a bit.
@Suiseiseki @beardalaxy god i hope you're a bot being this dedicated to such a boring bit is sad
@phnt @Suiseiseki @beardalaxy he needs some kind of personality or goal in his life it doesn't have to be women. all he fucking does, and has done for years, is make these really boring posts

@bajax @phnt i muted this dude and i'm still getting notifications wtf

@beardalaxy @bajax Mutes don't apply when someone else mentions him. That's also basically the only way I know he replied to me.
