Whoooooo boy, The internet in the united states you're using right now, is going to be unrecognizable in the next 12 months, all free services will charge, cost for access will increase, speed will be symied, vpn usage will be curtailed, and archive, library, and pirate sites will be blocked.

We just re-elected a fascist tyrant who wants to close as many avenues of education and free speech which can be used to educate, organize, and publish against him as he possibly can, as well as funnel as much cash to media and tech oligarchs to keep them onside, and now he's got both the house and senate with which to do just that.

I already VPN 99% of my traffic offshore. Do you think the threat to VPNs is eminent? I’ve been thinking about shadowsocks a lot but I’m not sure.

He doesn't have the House yet.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

He doesn't?

I'm not being sarcastic or making a joke. I thought he won all three categories.

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

The House is still being counted. It's very close, but not over yet.

I'm from the future. He does.

Be a real pity if people had easy access to facts and literature that might stir the imagination.

We don’t want the proletariat to get any ideas…

We really need to strip back copyright protection and limit it to 10-20 years.

[-] subignition@fedia.io 27 points 2 weeks ago

5 to 7 honestly. There needs to be more pressure on companies to actually execute on their ideas instead of sitting on them for years

[-] Armok_the_bunny@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago

Copyright protects already executed ideas, stripping that protection down to less than a decade would be completely unhelpful.

[-] General_Effort@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Not quite. You can't turn movies into books or games, or vice versa, for example. Sometimes such projects get stuck in limbo. Or think about how everyone hated the final season of Game of Thrones. Can't do anything about that in our life times.

Owner class won't have that. They are using laws against taxpayers and feds are happy to oblige.

I don't even know how something like that can be changed under the current regime.

At this rate they will start charging for air here soon. PE already profiting" buying" water rights. What demented government official signing off on something like that.

We've been overdue for a revolution at least in copyright law for a long time now.

Get Disney and Sony first!

[-] shoulderoforion@fedia.io 0 points 2 weeks ago

sure, but the other side has all the guns, and now after this election control all the organs of state, which may pose a problem

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 15 points 2 weeks ago

the other side has always been the state and it's always had all the guns

[-] db2@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

But now they don't need to pretend to be human anymore.

Stock up while you can.

Host it on the tor network.

Host it on web 3.0.

Host it outside the US.

Host it over torrents and i2p.

Yoooo, is this the dog whistle for me to raise the black flag? These publishers are insufferable.

[-] roofuskit@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

And everything else.

If we are lucky history will forget about us all.
