People don’t understand: we already outlawed “theft” and “stealing”—we wouldn’t need COPYright laws if they prevented theft or stealing 😂 they only prevent copying, aka not theft or stealing.
But people keep strawmanning “stealing is bad mmkay???”

I’m not sure how you can look at hundreds of years of IP laws getting btfo by pirates and say the ship is sinking 😂
I’m sorry, but until you can somehow answer the question of “how to make people avoiding laws impossible?” without causing a revolution, there will be laws avoided by people
No laws have ever stopped people from getting what they want. Games will be made by those who hate IP laws and be played by those who seek it. Will that scene be a trillion dollar industry backed by governments and international corporations like the AAA scene is today? Probably not. Will a punk indie scene exist? Of course.
Every popular entertainment medium that has a giant industry will see these same results as well. Movies, books, music, etc. As long as the medium is popular, it will persist outside of IP laws.
You are beautiful
Thom has a point about Trump and not playing in America. Personally I’d rather see more people boycott America.
ACK
GitLab isn’t open source, and certainly isn’t an open project first — they have a sales team, a marketing team, and a budget who does not account for getting new dev users
I don’t think anyone is against paying to watch a decent quality sports stream without popups and any additional ads. I won’t give the nfl $100/mo but I’ll pay $50/yr for some pirated setup
It’s quoting the source who used that specific term
Engineers don’t know how to manage or include designers in their process. At least all of the “full stack” and “front end” devs I’ve encountered — almost always they never know how to do a single thing about design unless they have some background or appreciation for it.
Sounds like Nixos with extra steps
How confusing will looking up “elixir mix Linux” be in web searches though 👀
where linux

Typst is very good software, though. Never will ever use latex again in my life.
You can just look at the source code… no need to assume anything. You can’t prove a negative lol
Yeah, that one. Definitely wish it was FOSS so these people won’t be dependent on corporate intellectual property existing.
Trolling is a art form
