This idiocy will end this mistake of a planet. Might be for the best, if life were to spread through the galaxy from here, we'd be contaminating it with so much war, slavery and other miseries. Good luck to whatever spawns here next.

To places where trees grow.

And build with them, and make yet another Mordor.

I gave up years ago. Security fatigue permeates my entire life.

Also, it's worth noting that he would be just as dangerous with a knife or a car or a bow.

Bone-in hotdogs.

I have no idea about how to protect a password manager with an encrypted container.

And to be honest with you, it's not something I'm likely to do even if you do attempt to explain the 60 minute long $10 18-step process to me. Or however long it takes and whatever it costs.

And really, for all my ignorant ass knows you could've just as well been encouraging me to get malware and I'd be none the wiser.

I've had security fatigue for years now. I'm sure most of you have. I've written down so many usernames and passwords and it's still not half of what I have, and to top it off, several of the written passwords are now wrong after obligatory password changes and I don't remember the new ones.

Put thing in front of the door, not beside it. Make yourself have to move it away to move on without it.

Just call then out on it in talk by mentioning why you would add it.

Alternatively make an upgraded English-only wiki alternative with way larger article max sizes so we can finally evolve it past 2005. And start using YouTube links and not (just) a native video player. And start quoting/including entire chapters from relevant books.

It could, if cheap, light, efficient EVs become legal and popular in Europe.

I personally want something that would never be legal; A 4-wheeled, beefed up, 100+ km/h electric velomobile with something like CanAm Spyder tires (and track width) and a proper comfortable seat. A bit like the LCC rocket, but fully enclosed and possibly lighter.

I could get something more dangerous, like a motorcycle. While this would be in an illegal limbo between car and motorcycle.

The Renault Twizy is a too tall, simply ugly, and thoroughly nerfed version of a simile of what I wish for, and Europe will continue just vaguely trying (and complacently falling) to make speed-limited microcars for cities of type L6e and L7e the "green option" looking for adoption, but that will never reach any kind of tipping point and we all know it. Not quite designed to fail, but definitely not designed for mass adoption.

The legal limbo of what I think would be more appealing is due to both the public and the governing bodies being entirely unwilling to tolerate what safety-wise amounts to a motorcycle with a car's stability, without reducing speed. They'd never expect to successfully lock motorcycles down to "max 45 km/h", but the category of "motorcycle" is uniquely privileged as a traditionally recognized transport device permitted to trade away safety for other benefits. Presumably because the trade is explicit enough, as there's no mistaking it for a car.

Anyways...

The conclusion is that no, "it" doesn't include vehicles, and won't any time soon. The only desirable electric cars will remain massive and heavy and expensive (but thoroughly armored), so adoption will continue to be fairly slow, and they'll be a big drain on the grid.

I'll end on the note that motorcycles not being popular is a huge part of why western bureaucrats (barely) tolerate them. If this was to become popular among young guys who want a cheap fast car, it'd be extremely problematic for them, and not at all worth the accelerated energy transition.

Last note, Sierra Echo is also one I've been keeping my eye on, but since it's fast and light, it's also open-air like all these things apparently have to be. Oh, and it's also not cheap.

Is this something that is seen as collateral damage?

Credit scores are the West's social credit system.

If we value our freedom from a controlling, oppressive system, then we should penalize the creation, selling, buying and usage of credit score data. And we should keep on top of it to include any emerging attempts to re-establish an equivalent system.

It's so weird that you keep it up. You've been committed to this for like half a year basically every day now?

Reddit is a sausagefest and no, woman, you can't have any sausage!

GEMA aeems to be doing a lot of shit I don't think should be done, like charging for live performances of GEMA-owned music. I also don't see why there should be an organization with memberships? That's not at all related.

I'm also not pitching an organization at all, I wouldn't expect an additional one to be necessary. It's just conceived as a legal framework change,

When I'm talking about starting companies, I'm talking about several, not competing through the size of they're libraries, but rather through other things like cost, quality, UI, searchability, recommendations, etc.

I am not talking about a concept for a company, I'm talking about revised ethics to inform revised laws which could perhaps enable what you seem to describe Grooveshark as.

I think the DMCA experiment has gone on long enough and it's time to try to mitigate the negative results of it through a different approach.

People go to the zoo in hopes of watching the animals fuck.

..?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

I just wanna pitch something:

What if it was impossible to publish something through a preferred publisher? What if any published piece of music was legal to redistribute with a published fixed global royalty?

As in: You can start a music distribution service and you don't need to make any deals, you just use what's out there and pay the fixed fee per user who played the song.

This could perhaps be enforced by there simply being no more legal grounds to stop your service as long as you pay, with fines for secret deals being extremely high and the award for whistleblowing also being very high.

In general I feel like movies, shows and video games could be treated the same. Ending exclusivity has been something I've kinda wished to see forever. I think if you reconsider the ethics many of you might conclude that you agree with me.

I swear, Lemmy users act like they are completely in favor of an instance of 40 users and a submission every other week. Seeing scale as inherently bad.

Lemmy will fucking roll over and die within the year.

We don't have to, we can just not.

We're gonna let this happen, you just haven't accepted it yet. Humanity is already extinct, it largely just doesn't realize it.
