I think it's neat that in order to silence speech you don't like, and expose the author, all you have to do is copyright that free speech after the fact and then file DMCA complaints to have it removed, and the author dragged into court. What a unique and peculiar way to twist and misinterpret every legal concept involved this judge seems to have concocted for himself. When such a ruling benefits a billionaire, it's hard to believe that there isn't some...alternative motivation at odds with the generally accepted means by which a judge might usually acquire income.
Continuing to prove that the right wing's issue with moderation isn't that it exists, it's that they've lost the ability to do it, both culturally and online. Look at Reddit, conservative leaning subs are the most heavily censored out there, not to remove hate, but to remove pushback about the hate, with bans issued pre-emptively in many cases, people banned for wrongthink elsewhere without making a single post.
I give Truth two years, tops, the moment whatever deal Trump struck with them to use the service expires, he will stop posting, sell his stock then trash everyone involved while trying and failing once more to sue his way back onto twitter.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Some AI gene
"So, their concern is someone may develop something beyond the base and not also open source it?"
Yes, the concern is that proprietary giants routinely take from the work of others without giving back, and are then known to attack open source projects with patents and copyright claims if they try to improve the base product in the same direction. This is literally why open source licences were created in the first place.
"Guess I just call the claim of ‘free as in freedom’ as bull."
Freedom isn't free, and no freedom is absolute. You can't take from the food bank just because you don't want to pay for your own lunch.
Is that what you tell yourself so you don't cry yourself to sleep every night? That other people working in other jobs, other industries, get paid an actual functioning wage for their work? That other people willingly humble themselves, instead of acting like bullies the way you do, and society treats them accordingly?
You could have leveraged your ability to code. Instead what you have on Techdirt is nothing more than a collection of threats of violence, murder, organ harvesting and extortion, because you feel that your government should reward you for the equivalent of urinating on their face. And every post you make here informs other people to stay far, far away from whatever work you do.
You don't contribute to society, Tero. You actively hate society. You don't benefit society. You think society's sole reason for existing is to fluff up your ego, riches, and flights of fantasy. This sad attempt to make yourself feel better by insisting that everyone else is lazy is merely another failure at self-justification. I suppose the one upside to your existence is that you demonstrate that copyright owners and holders like yourself are not to be trusted. You're on the scale of mass murderers and child molesters who only look at other people to be exploited.
Again I'll defer to you on the cars I haven't driven. All I know is that in the car I have, the console itself was an optional extra, I still have manual seat, windows, mirror, etc. controls and the safety warnings appear on the dashboard display, not the central console (which covers GPS, rear parking cameras, CarPlay/Android Auto, etc. - all optional).
"Well it’s hundreds of sales in resale, per day. As I linked to. That would be thousands per month."
OK, I apologise, I missed the "per day" part and assumed it was a month for some reason, it was late. But, it's still a cottage industry in largely used tapes. That doesn't really support what you seem to be trying to say.
But for comparison, I had a quick look at NES games and it seems there's way more sold than VHS tapes. But nobody's claiming that NES is a popular viable format for new releases.
It's cool that VHS collectors are still a thing. But, it's a niche market where new releases are often small run sales gimmicks, and your claim that DVD didn't affect sales is laughable. By all means run with your hobby and I wish you good times, you don't have to misrepresent things to enjoy it.
On the contrary, this is a fairly important exercise and not merely a sideshow, despite the obvious circus atmosphere.
There's 2 things at play here that are worth keeping an eye on. The first is that it's yet another example of a retort to all the complaints about "Big Tech" and social media in general. The right will whine endlessly about how they're being "censored" and that the "monopolies" be shut down.
But, each of these new services are illustrations of how that's not really true since competing services keep appearing, and illustrations of how on some level "censorship" is required for such a service to operate effectively. If even services like Gettr and Truth require heavy moderation despite being set up as "free speech" venues, then how can it be argued that Twitter is wrong to do the same? They will argue about that, of course, but if the next time the mainstream services have to appear before congress to account for their actions, it's good that claims about censorship and monopolistic activity can be countered with "our many competitors feel they are required to do the same level of moderation".
The other things is that whether the rest of us like it or not, Trump is still relevant. He's still the defacto head of the Republican party, he's still surrounded by worshippers, and he's still eligible to run again for office. Until those things change, it's good to keep an eye on his, and after his hilariously failed attempt at a service before (which turned out to be a blog, despite earlier promises of something else), what happens on this service is worth keeping an eye on.
Never mind the fact that you yourself acknowledged that Meshpage has all of several hundred users at best, who to your knowledge have yet to do anything with it.
This is still better than what you've managed to do.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Is this actually a good thing?
"I believe you’re approaching this as if renting removes the owner right of control."
Whereas you seem to think that opening a property up for public accommodation means that they can still treat the property as if they have no additional responsibilities as a result.
That's not how it works. Once you open things up to the public, you have to abide by certain compromises. This includes access to utilities.
"What if"
Just once, it would be nice if you could have a conversation based on verifiable facts, rather than stupid strawmen you construct to argue a what if scenario that doesn't exist.
"It’s a good debate on who has greater rights, the owner or the renter"
What's the subject? If the subject is that the owner wants control of his little fiefdom and finds it more profitable to force the renters into inferior service for basic utilities, usually the renters' rights should supercede the owner's. If he wants complete control, all he has to do is not open up accommodation to the public.
"politicians shouldn’t be using social media, another company’s private property, for official communication."
Do you have the same opinion when they use other forms of private property for communication, such as radio, TV, newspapers, billboards, appearances at privately-held venues, etc.? Or just social media?
Meh, at least PV provided names and evidence, as clearly forced and misleadingly edited as it was.
AC can't even identify which platform he supposedly worked for, let alone his position there, and those would be the very basic things required to even start to evaluate his self-proclaimed authority, let alone his conclusions.
This lazy label he got when he decided that he doesn't need to create anything of his own, simply because blender already exists
Not everyone who doesn't work in 3D modeling or programming is inherently lazy. Some people work in finance, the arts, engineering, environmental sustainability, retail, logistics - there's an endless array of different industries and job roles out there.
Whether or not you think these roles are necessary for society to function is largely your opinion, but personally I think it's funny that the fact that other jobs exist and people get paid more than $6 a year for them pisses you off this much, you have to assume everyone else is lazier than you. As in, lazier than the guy demanding that Finland make worshipping Tero Pulkinnen the state religion.
any ordinary person who have decided to help government keep their society up and running
Deciding to help the government does not mean anything if what you think is "helping" isn't actually helping. And let's be frank, what you do is begging the government to use your software as a Blender alternative, then getting angry at the government for not spending money to make you a millionaire. That is not helping society run. Never mind the fact that you yourself acknowledged that Meshpage has all of several hundred users at best, who to your knowledge have yet to do anything with it.
demands compensation level that isn't grounded by the work amount that he's doing
For what it's worth, what I'm paid is considered roughly market rate for the roles that I do. And a considerable part of that job scope includes creative thinking and design. Whether you think that's fair is entirely between the company that hired me and myself.
The difference between you and me is you make spurious claims and entitlements about murder, human-to-robot conversion, and imaginary mansions based on some work you might have done for mobile phone technology a couple decades ago. Nokia, I'm guessing, considering that it is in Finland, although it's excessively clear at this point you don't believe in explaining yourself beyond vaguely insulting everyone else. You then think that heritage is somehow reason enough to think that your vanity project is therefore some heavenly mandate for everyone to throw you all their life savings and indenture themselves to perpetual servitude for you.
Unfortunately for you, not only does the world not work that way, you also think that the best way to get around this is to openly treat everyone else - even your users and customers - as scum of the earth, and regularly toss death threats at them. I think it's funny as fuck that a wasted Nokia has-been is so triggered that other working people get paid more than you can rip off the Finnish welfare system.
Do yourself a favor, and convert yourself to a robot if you hate humans so much.
