If IP laws didn't exist, you wouldn't have to make due with the unimaginative pandering garbage Disney deigns to think up. You would be able to tell, share, and transform, movies. That is a vastly better world.

Nor world it cost so much to make movies, because the best way to do that, including the best software and hardware design, would belong to everyone.

When a company's existence hinges on IP ownership, works are blocked from creation - almost by definition. Literally what IP law does, is prevent creation from outside of monopolies.

"Digital Piracy" is not a real thing. It's a convention you're advocating for, and one that reasonable people have still not heard a decent argument for adopting.

I wonder if one could just stuff the tubes with hydrogen, then lanthanum powder, then just let them expand? They might auto-heat from the pressure, and assemble themselves, if you just unfroze them.

"For Windows, install WSL and a distro of your choice and follow the Linux guide."

I love these instructions!

Also, I'd love to see this converted to a native executable. I wish Nintendo would actually allow that, although I'm sure they wouldn't.

That particular horse was never broken to begin with, much less in anyone's barn.

fbreader has a tts plugin, and Android has many utilities to convert between different formats. I sometimes use TextAloud (with Paul16, the best TTS voice imo) on my PC, to make audiobooks for myself.

I have heard suggestions, that the drive for 5g is to increases the density of wifi signals, since the technology developed for airport scanners can passively image people in areas of high wifi-signal density.

I think that was just refactoring tools.

Slack is good for organizations that deal with complex, difficult information, and have a strong respect for seniority.

If questions are easy, inane, and ubiquitous, anti-communication swarms become the norm. When most communication is about a plethora of trivial facts that have to be constantly wrangled, it's better to use a ticket system with forms that naturally rate limit low-effort questions.

When it's about deeper information, and invalid conversations can be trivially spotted and rejected, the ability to instantly organize any kind of conversation whenever, is a god-send.

Twitter has denied that it is a publisher in court. It is a Common Carrier in effect, and has benefited - to the detriment of its competitors - from common carrier protections.

Any time Twitter has been called to account for what it publishes, it claims it's not a publisher. Give them what they want.

It isn't just a place of corporate business, though. That's why Trump was not allowed to block people.

Twitter shouldn't be able to, either.

Lies. Governments and critical institutions publish information, and court feedback, on Twitter.

Everyone is compelled to use Twitter. Its success, influence, and profit, derive largely from its semi-official adoption by so many corporations and government actors.

It isn't private, and if it wants to be, it can't be used for public business.
