A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Sometimes I wonder why copyright isn't the same length as a patent? I don't think it particularly matters whether you use utility patent or design patent length. Patent law has it's faults, but as someone who both has patents and has had to deal with someone else beating me to an idea, it seems to be a better system than whatever the fuck Disney has managed to turn copyright into.
