A lot of people are like “if someone as evil as Cheney is endorsing Harris that’s not a good sign, and if Harris is actively bringing her on stage and talking about how great she is that’s DEFINITELY not a good sign”

The Only Guardrail Left Is Us

Because rich Republicans also own the media.

Yeah it really makes Mastodon unusable as the “one big forum” that twitter was and bluesky is trying to be.

I mean, Mastodon is a joke if that’s what you’re asking

Bluesky is just a lot better. I have no particular commitment to the ActivityPub protocol.

Sadly Mozilla is not immune to following the dumb fads that run through Silicon Valley, but Firefox is still clearly the best browser option.

I think you got it and effectively answered it, thanks.

How do you work the office only having space for 20% of employees? Makes a lot of sense but would be annoying to hot desk. My office only has us in two days a week but has not cut down on the number of desks at all, giving up the potential savings.

I assume this won’t swing many people’s votes, but it is a nice insight into what’s going on behind the scenes with Vance as he publicly claims to be this big anti-elitist populist

The hope is that he steps down as the nominee for the good of the country and thus improves our chances of beating Trump.

This was just a better article than the CNN one, and there are no direct links to the interviews Campos did with the medical professionals here.

No copyright is about the “right” to “copy” the work in question, not the attribution. Works that are in the public domain still list the author.

Shortening the time is good, and adjusting it while it still does apply to allow for more legal free sharing of the work.

Eliminating copyright doesn’t mean they’d be allowed to lie about who wrote what they were publishing. Anything an artist creates blowing up and gaining wide appreciation is very good for that artist’s future prospects. An artist who is spreading their work for free anyway is much better off in the scenario where there’s no copyright and everyone understands the need to tip / patronize their favorite artists.

Yeah they’re pretty reliable - it’s the group blog of a bunch of professors. And of course the piece is filled with input from medical experts, and links to a CNN report on the same topic if that’s more your speed.

If you are already sharing something for free in order to gain publicity, what is the downside of others repackaging them and spreading them further? That is exactly the kind of publicity you’re trying to gain.

“your proposal would harm young artists who need to share their works in order to gain publicity for something they intend to sell and sustain themselves on.”

The default is already for young artists to share a lot of their work hoping to get noticed. Getting rid of copyright would be reorienting the whole system to center that experience more rather than the established artists and art producing corporations who now are in a strong enough position to charge. “Making it” would just mean that your patreon was doing gangbusters rather than selling a lot of copies of whatever your art is.

Yeah Project Gutenberg really demonstrates how this is all pretty much already built, just illegal to include recent works in. Though of course that’s just books where the post copyright free library could also include all other art and culture such as tv, radio, movies, images, games, etc

As in you’re implying Kamala is Hillary’s protege? She is not, what gives you that idea?
