  Thank you. Every time someone says “The Economy™” as something that should drive policy instead of being an effect of it, I get a little twitch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🤡🤡🤡⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The “dark” side of the moon is a bit of a weird thing, both linguistically and for its tidally locked orbit ^^ The moon revolves around earth at the same speed it revolves around its axis. This “tidal locking” means that it is always showing the same “face” to the Earth, so that it doesn’t appear to be rotating from our perspective. timelapse showing the precession of the moon This doesn’t mean that one side is always dark and the other is exposed to the sun - just that instead of days, the moon has phases! So the situation of being “on the dark side of the moon” while the Earth is visible is not possible, but earthlight is very much a thing.

  Just regular sunlight. The “night” sky might throw off your intuition, but no atmosphere = no sky

  Anyone who says that he valued “open debate and the exchange of ideas” either had never actually listened to one of his “debates” or has no idea what healthy discourse looks like

  Both comments are right. It is still a buggy, minimal alpha, but i would say in the last year or two it has become a somewhat enjoyable game rather than a tech demo you’d check a release every once in a while.

  Development has consistently been a shitshow, but there really is nothing else like it.

  If the internet actually enforced copyright to the letter of the law

  Whose law? Whose enforcers? The Internet is fundamentally incompatible with traditional sovereignty and jurisdiction concepts

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'An embarrassing failure of the US patent system': Videogame IP lawyer says Nintendo's latest patents on Pokémon mechanics 'should not have happened, full stop'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No. The problem is that that system was created and lobbied for literally by Disney and other big “IP holders” like music labels. That “while” after the holder’s death has been increasing to ridiculous levels. They are not getting special treatment by abusing the system, they’re changing the system to their rules.

  What is “fair compensation”, in this case, for you? Does bringing joy to millions of people entitle you to more money or do you see the happiness you shared and subsequent fame as part of your “payment” - what you get out of it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'An embarrassing failure of the US patent system': Videogame IP lawyer says Nintendo's latest patents on Pokémon mechanics 'should not have happened, full stop'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally I don’t have an issue with individual intellectual property, it’s the acquisition and trade of it by corporations that I have an issue with. For example, I believe no copyright should last after the creator’s death. Disney is dead, Tolkien is dead, many musicians are dead, let alive creators contribute to their worlds.

  Your signature will never be unique, each time you sign there will be small variations. It’s really not that hard to produce a convincing signature if you have good penmanship, and even easier if it’s a digital scan.

  I’ve owned fountain pens since I was little, and I usually use some deep blue ink that fits the “only black or blue ink” criteria but is particular enough that I am able to tell with confidence if it is or not the ink I was using, and forensic analysis could verifiably tell. The one I’ve used the most oxides into copper colors, I love it so much.

  For digital documents, I use PGP. I don’t care if it’s dorky, if I think I could have the need to demonstrate that I said or was told something at a specific date, I will generate and store a signed version, or attach it to an email as appropriate. I care more about the cryptographic guarantees of digital signatures than the legal guarantees of paper signatures anyway

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit lost it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh. I’m with you on the “nothing is illegal on the internet” stance, but at the same time I think it’s ok to fight against “bad”/dangerous things and make them harder to access. If someone really wants to have an AI lover, let them download a model and write their own system prompt. At least then they would have a better idea of what their “lover” actually is.
