Free are imagining a world with no IP protection.

No. If there is no IP protection, Amazon will just be able to take people’s work.

Totally agree, but removal is not a good option.

Because Amazon stole it, made a copy available for 1/10 the price.
The marketing power of Amazon is 10’s of thousands of times greater than the original author, so you probably never hear that the book you are interested in has an author that is different from the one Amazon puts on the cover, who is a pen name of their “AI author”.
Note: I think IP law is a bit shit really, but removing any protection from creative works is dangerous, and extremely short sighted. If you don’t want to reward the corporations, learn to pirate…piracy is far more ethical than calling for the removal of IP law.

Take another moment to realize how shit Paw Patrol is.
- Not challenging, has clear cut good/bad dynamic. Bluey doesn’t have "bad guys"
- PP is fairly inclusive.
- Almost not emotional depth, everyone is always in a good mood.
- Started off fairly grounded, but then power scaling for no reason.
- Repetitive and boring.
- What the fuck is up with dogs being intelligent enough to do the PP things, but also being subservient to humans? The whole dynamic is so fucked, Bluey doesn’t have humans at all.
I only compare them because the are both dog based kids shows. But PP sucks

Na, being 40 is fine. I’m 45, eat well and get a little exercise. I am healthier than I was in my 20’s, I have more stamina and I think more clearly.

- Comment on This Modular Phone Concept Is Xiaomi’s Plan to Kill the Camera Bump 1 month ago:
This will only succeed if they open it up to other developers.
A 10Gb link with power, there are a lot of applications that could work here.
Camera/projector/docking station… These are the first few I came up with, I’m sure others will have great ideas.
But if they try to keep it proprietary, it will go nowhere.

- Comment on Which movies are much darker when you rewatch them as an adult? 2 months ago:
Starship troopers.
I saw it when it came out. I was young and the action was awesome.
Watching at an adult… The fascist themes are so obvious, I wonder how young me missed them.
- Comment on Which movies are much darker when you rewatch them as an adult? 2 months ago:
No it’s the whole movie.
It is the story of an oppressed people, in their desperation they follow a con artist who is only out for himself.
Their uprising and short lived victory, is marked by incompetence and grift.
After being in power for a while, the old regime returns. They kill the leader and ruthlessly crush the now demoralised people.
In the end the old monarchy rules again, the oppressed people are scattered, this culture and way of life vilified, even moreso than in the past.
