This is the correct take. Copyright as a concept is just flawed, especially in a world where you can sell those ideas.
Grapes of Wrath is a great song, it's not some "audible ad". It's weird that one of their best songs in years is being characterized like that.
I think the root of the problem is the Republican party. If you look at the language the shooter used in his manifesto, it's very very similar. There are things social media platforms can do to mitigate extremism, but people like this will continue to feel emboldened by the GOP.
I think the birthright citizenship is the way to go. If you're born in the US I think that should be the point where we go "Okay, you're a citizen". We could have a situation where a group of people are perpetually denied citizenship for some reason that's advantageous to another group, and that ensures their children can't becomes citizens either.
Reminds me of when the Vice Pres. of the confederacy started lying about how the war wasn't about slavery after he got locked up lol
Fuck the Quran
People wanna talk about cyclists breaking rules, they should be okay with being called out for breaking the rules as well
Not that one, there was a different one from reddit. Someone saying that the talking about wages was discouraged and that they are way overworked.
I feel like the only thing that can dethrone twitter now is mastodon, given how it's setup. I don't really think bluesky will work anymore.
I just don't understand how any of this means the US is fucked. For example, in Georgia the majority of the population lives in small area of the state. Even if there's a lot of suburban sprawl in the area, there are transit solutions that can accommodate for that, and we don't have to tear up any suburbs to do it.
Pics or it didn't happen
This sounds cool, but troubling because of its license. Trying to write a linux compatible kernel and licensing as MIT is basically asking to get railroaded by gigantic organizations. I hope they reconsider in the future.
