copyright and all of intellectual property was meant to “promote the progress of science and useful arts”—it has since eroded it and held it up for ownership by capitalists public domain was originally 14 years after publication. 14 years ago was 2010—imagine if everything before 2010 was in the public domain. All video games. All movies. All books, songs, etc. How much of our culture could be preserved? Compare that to now. How much of what you imagined is owned by a corporation? Managed by shareholders? Has the commons been fostered, or has it been divided into fiefdoms?

we also should be supporting open source games—if it’s open source, it’s preservable! these people are already essentially giving up any revenue just to make something for someone else, we should be lifting them up, too!

These guys are literally the bottom of the totem poll (none of them are managers etc), there’s a reason theres a players union

They’re rich, but they ain’t likely upper class

Can we not shift this from the very important issue of how stupid this streaming situation is into the much less important, albeit still valid, “one rich athlete spends slightly less than his fair share in this one instance”—no one is defending this guy because he’s rich, only because it’s the irony of the situation

The more people who pirate, the better. It doesn’t matter who as long as everyone is getting away with it equally

Who are they stealing my personal data from, corporation?? Are they stealing it from me or from you??

It saves ewaste. In 6 years, will macOS still be supported on these machines? Maybe. Will an open source distro be supported? If it’s still thriving, yeah.

I always call my little helper higher order functions (intended to be partially applied) factories :)

Name one statically typed language that doesn’t have that property. Name one non statically typed language that has that property.

All static typing means is that types don’t change, eg you can’t declare a var as a string and later assign a number to it.

People don’t understand that JIT languages are still compiled, JIT literally describes when it’s compiled.

That said, F# and/or OCaml.

where linux?

Lethal company is literally just old school d&d tho

You go into dungeons, try to avoid all the monsters because they can kill you in one hit, get the treasure they protect and gold is xp.

I wish more people were aware of and as vocally critical of copyright laws as you.

I mean, if the error says “variable foo is not defined” I don’t think it’s wise to go “I’m pretty sure it’s defined, the compiler is just wrong” 😂

I learned early in my software engineering career these two beautiful rules of debugging:

1. Read all of the words
2. Believe them

In a capitalist economy copyright is meant to protect people’s livelihoods by ensuring they are compensated for their labor

Whose propaganda did you suck down blindly? Copyright is meant to foster and improve the commons and public domain, and only that. The goal of copyright is not “money” and monopolies, but that’s what capitalism does to things designated as property.

The fact you can transfer and sell your copyright (because it’s property in capitalism), it becomes a commodity to be bought and sold and traded. If copyright was not tradeable or transferable, we wouldn’t be in in this situation where art is property to be owned.

Trolling is a art form

Then steal from those corporations. It’s not hard. Copyright and patents were to benefit the public domain, not anything or anyone else. It does not do that. The public domain has done nothing but perish as more and more “protection” has been applied. Now it is all intellectual “property” to be owned and measured and controlled and regulated, unless you opt out of it with open source.

We have tools like the GPL and AGPL. Corporations hate those. Turns out when you start giving away and “taking”, everyone benefits. Open source hasn’t made the world worse the more it’s been growing — maybe choosing to forgo most protections of copyright and IP is actually good. Maybe.
