Ask Lemmy

I wish there was a third option to knock down things that aren't actually controversial. In threads like this an upvote and a downvote are both an upvote.

The weaker part of a conflict is not always in the right just because it's weaker than the other part and got beaten up.

IP? Do you mean imaginary property? If so, I agree. I think that ideas and culture should be shared. I understand the stated goal (protect individual inventors from being exploited by huge corporations) but that's not how it's played out. It's used as a tool of control by powerful companies to stifle innovation. Ask any 3d printer hobbyist if they like stratysus. (I effing hate them) there should be some mechanism to protect inventors but this isn't it.

Full on empathy for all things. Sometimes it even bleeds into inanimate objects.

As an artist, designer (lil software engineer). I agree. Most of the advanced technical know how are out of public knowledge reach. There's no way to find that information online, even considering pay walls.

We should gather up all of the people that pushed the Palestinian genocide (including those that censored or shamed others for speaking up about it) and turn them into a gory pile of steaming meat using the weapons that they used on innocent Palestinians.

I agree with your attitude about IP. For tens of thousands of years humans freely imitated every good idea they saw, in a process known as "the spread of civilization". But then somebody figured out how to make shitloads of money by producing copies of other people's work and paying them a pittance, aka "royalty", and suddenly copying and imitation became immoral.
