Venia Silente

How is this all supposed to be, when AI code can not be copyrighted and thus those submissions to the Linux kernel can not be eg.: GPLv{number}?

It’s called preparation.

In the US system at least it matters not if your claim is legitimate, the mere fact that you can file it poses a severe risk.

Patent system needs fixing from the foundations up. Or even better, full abolition.

In the meantime, what’s the better actually open codec to reencode to?

But all of those are VPs are patent encumbered, right?

We all knew this was going to happen one day or another.

Where’s Theora these days, byw? Wasn’t it the encoding blessed by the license druids?

My understanding is we have the Dutch to blame for that as they named him “Sante” and Spanish-speaking countries adapted the sound into “a” for whatever reason. Basically it’s “whole” proper name derived from elsewhere.

Yeah, “Santo” is the better example. I’m actually not sure if there’s any particular distinction for why sme place names are “San” and other are “Santo”, perhaps it comes from historical baggage from whichever branches of explorers / conquerers founded each town.

It’s because nouns in Spanish carry gender! Which is crazy but it works.

“San Francisco” → Francisco is a male name.

“Santa Bárbara” → Baŕbara is a female name.

Well, the entire procedure requires you to first trust the snail mail chain in the first place, so it’s a different category of trust that “trust a CC provider”. Snail mail used to be sacred, but it’s been known not-to for a long while now. And at the point that you can expect the acabs are willing to inkdust and laser your mail for biological traces, that means you are facing a nation-state adversary with nation-state power, so you should be looking into nation-state level defenses instead.

I’m not sure entering the ponzi scheme that is cryptocurrencies would have helped in this case.

Furthermore, you can pay with bitcoin or even cash (sent to their HQ by mail). That way they’d have even less on you.

With the caveat that in some of their procedures they (seem to?) require to append account information in the mail, so if the postage can be traced back to you that’s an issue.

And that’s why I only use Proton’s free tiers. If they are going to openly support Dementia Don and openly hand out their users to fascist governments like Spain or the US, then I can at least do my part by being a financial burden to them.

When was that? They took in the Nazi gold.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

That’s the point, under capitalism.

Perhaps a second parking lot would help you get the point?

wdym there’s been good alternatives to Discord for decades.

Lemmy.world mods. They are kinda like feddit.org mods. Whiny cocksuckers who are just so happy to vent their frustrations (or pretend ones) on their userbase.

Unneeded. We already have a tool for that it’s called blueprints, they haven’t failed in over 3000 years.

You don’t need to actively punch everyone you see. Just punch the Nazis. For the privacy part, what one could reasonably do once the tech becomes affordable is to eg.: wear passive EMP devices or something similar that disable cameras near you (at some point, the tech has to fit in a space too small for EMP shielding).
