Control of the house, senate, presidency and Judiciary.

It’s just how basic demographics analysis works. There’s a lot more people who are struggling with mental health problems/mental disabilities that make them more prone to believing scams. And so many games and storefronts use dark patters to make it extremely easy to make undesired purchases or have no safeguards to prevent children from using their parents credit card for purchases.

All these kinds of people vastly outnumber dumb finance bros on their yachts making stupid money decisions.

Can be, but less likely given how ubiquitous Windows is on major systems across all industries.

It’s security through small market share. There’s just not enough major organizations using Linux as a default to warrant large numbers of all manor of gray or black hats to dig deep into finding the exploits.

Def email the researchers, so many of them would gladly give you access to their research papers because they also hate the science publishing industry.

people violating your trust?

Implying any of us are equivalent to a $1.5 trillion social media monopoly that has more political and social power than any other organization on the planet. Sure Jan, any one of us is exactly like that.

The severity of punishment does not match the severity of violating the policy. We’ve already figured this idea out in real life and across numerous genres of fiction that at this point is a common trope. It’s literally a sci-fi trope at this point of the paradise planet that everyone loves but the biggest flaw is that any infraction against the law however minor is tje death penalty. The concept of fair punishments is literally baked into the constitution through the bill of rights with the 8th amendment, no cruel and unusual punishments, no excessive bail or excessive fines.

Read up on how exactly copyright works, as soon as you fix a work in a tangible and communicable form, you have a copyright to it. Taking a nude photo of yourself gives you the exclusove copyright of that photo. Taking a tourist photo does give you copyright to that specific photo, but also doesn’t necessarily supercede another existing copyright if that photo is of something else that already had a copyright.

And depending on jurisdictions, your tourist photos might not be fine. For example, in France, they have very strict privacy laws and copyright enforcement, the Eiffel Tower might be public domain, but the light installation is still under copyright. And any modern buildings designed by an architect who died within the last 70 years is still protected by copyright. And on the privacy front, accidentally taking pictures of other people even in tourist areas could actually open you up to a lawsuit, but nobody’s actually tried that yet so it’s up in the air whether it would hold up.

Not what I’m saying. I’m saying using copyright enforcement systems as the workaround to getting non-consenusal nudes taken down from a website is putting even more burden onto already heavily abused systems. That doesn’t have anything to do with the Zucc running ads, it’s because copyright enforcement systems don’t work very well to begin with and are very easily abused by bad actors. It’s not the right tool for the job, and it would be much better to have something specifically dedicated to getting the non-consensual publishing of nude images taken down instead of some bubblegum and twine hack of a solution through copyright enforcement.

Its the Right to Publicity. Walmart can record security footage but they shouldn’t be able to use a recording for commercial purposes unless you explicitly give them permission to use it.

I’m not making a comparison between the two, I’m pointing out how resolving posting non-consensual nudes of someone through copyright systems could be abused in other instances. I’m also not saying there shouldn’t be a system for having non-consensual nudes taken down, we absolutely should, but it needs to be a system dedicated to taking down non-consensual images, not a patchwork workaround using copyright.

It sucks that this is the mechanism we have to use for this but a person’s likeness is their own copyright and posting images of someone without permission could be seen as copyright infringement. Granted this also opens a lot of doors to just completely eliminating almost all images from the internet, like imagine going to a tourist destination and having to get permission from anyone who might be in your overdone posed tourist photo.

Edit: Since some of yall are dense motherfuckers and/or just arguing in bad faith, I’m pointing out how going using copyright as the enforcement mechanism opens the door for these already flawed copyright systems to be heavily abused even further. I’m specifically pointing to Right of Publicity, where your likeness is protected from commercial use unless you give permission to post. It’s why any show or movie that’s filmed in a public place blurs people out if they haven’t gotten signed release forms from anyone who appears on camera.

Nuclear is so ridiculously energy dense that there’s no near future where we’re in danger of running out of it and nuclear hopefully soon won’t even need to rely on fissile materials, since we keep getting g closer and closer to getting fusion working.

And solar and wind and hydroelectric and other renewable are also great but they’re variable. Sun only shines locally for so many hours per day, wind doesn’t always come from the same directions or speeds, hydro is quite climate dependent, relying enough water to refill reservoirs.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t be also building up renewables but every powersource has its limitations and making a mix of all of these to cover each of the downsides is our best bet.

I think op’s yaaaaayyy was sarcastic.

But I’m with you, we should be reviving nuclear, maybe 3 mile Island would be a good starting point since I imagine there’s a lot of stuff already there. Although if it’s abandoned with no maintenance, there’s probably a lot that’s rusted out and needs to be replaced.

Terrorism is actually a pretty simple but specific definition. Terrorists use unlawful violence and threats of violence to influence the government or an international governmental organisation, or to intimidate the public. They do this in pursuit of a political, religious, racial or ideological cause.

It doesn’t take much money or many resources to engage in violence or even make threats. Certainly having money and resources at your disposal make you more effective but it’s a rather low but still specific bar to cross to be considered a terrorist.

If you’re not going to take the effort type “can a government use patents” into Google and look at the top link. It took me less than a minute to find that government using a patent is just baked into the patent system. There’s not additional law around it. So it might be better to go the WD 40 route and never actually file a patent to the formula to avoid sharing the formula publicly.

That’s… not how eminent domain works…? Like it’s scope only applied to stuff like building sidewalks, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure.

Because it’s a lot easier for Disney to churn out mickey mouse cartoons than it is for General Electric to come up with an entirely new rotating joint for the helicopter mounted motorized minigun

Personally I originally went to Discord because it was the alternative to skype which was increasingly becoming shittier and shittier when Microsoft bought it.
