- Comment on It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it 1 week ago:
Does “It takes two” count as an EA game?
- Comment on Lemmy users who say that Lemmy users are smarter than Reddit users 1 week ago:
Also one of the Lemmy lead devs is transphobic.
Given that lemmy is far from transphobic this fact could be seen as a positive.

Just normal banned.
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 2 weeks ago:
In any system there has to be some source of truth to base the data on. Otherwise people can claim anything .

Sam Altman very much wants to get rid of copyright.

You can use a government issued certificate to generate your own age proofs without their involvement.
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 2 weeks ago:
The verifier does not know what exactly you are proving, when you are proving it or to whom.
The service provided by the verifier is equivalent to a stamp on a piece of paper.
- Comment on One man's trash is another man's garbage 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, there should be a whoosh somewhere above you.
- Comment on Insulin 2 weeks ago:
I like the idea of having to pay a fee to retain copyright. And that fee doubles every year.
It starts off low but after a decade or two it becomes more economical to let the copyright lapse.
Patents should be scrapped completely.
- Comment on Insulin 2 weeks ago:
It’s not like monopolies appear out of thin air;
For patents and copyright this is exactly what happens. Adam Smith’s invisible hand of capitalism does not create these monpolistic protections naturally. They are an artificial construct of government. An enforced payment by society to creators and inventors.
- Comment on Insulin 2 weeks ago:
I think there is a balance to be made. Some anti capitalist measures are needed to encourage innovation. But the use of patent laws as a defence, or copyright to seek excessive rent are far too aggressive.
- Comment on Insulin 2 weeks ago:
Your affection for patents does not disprove my original statement.
- Comment on Insulin 2 weeks ago:
Anti free market policies can exist within a capitalist structure.
Historical existence of patents doesn’t destroy capitalism, nor make patents less anti capitalist.
- Comment on Insulin 2 weeks ago:
So, you agree patents and copyrights are contrary to capitalism and free markets?
- Comment on Insulin 2 weeks ago:
Correct. Patents and copyrights are state granted monopolies that are in direct opposition to free market forces that capitalism thrives on.
- Comment on Insulin 2 weeks ago:
One could argue that patents and copyright are anti-capitalist
- Comment on eat the rich and go to libraries 2 weeks ago:
FYI, Beamers are also Mercedes Benz
- Comment on eat the rich and go to libraries 2 weeks ago:
Private libraries exist. Some are very expensive (e.g. a classic car library).
- Comment on Scientific Exposure 2 weeks ago:
Highlighting Jewish banking is anti-semitic. You are correct to challenge this.
But it’s mainly one particular family tied to the conspiracy theories (many attribute to a pamphlet printed by Georges Dairnvaell). Ethnicity should not be a shield against scrutiny and criticism.
