>The U.N. (IP arm) exists for organizations like Microsoft
i despise patents on foundational tools. anything that is a tool everyone needs to live, should not be patentable, so tech you need to use a computer to reach the internet, there should be no patents on that. I AM against fraud though so don't say ur AMD, or RYF brand unless you are those brands/accrediations, people do look at brands to infer quality. So i'm not against the UN standing up for that part of IP. I also think that any IP over 50 years old and of significant cultural value, just needs to go into the public domain. I don't know whether we need a body with much clout to do that, but yeah we NEED to get back there instead of back-pedaling terribly.
the more i think about how i've been conditioned, i think the UN plays the good cop in the "good cop, bad cop" part of western geopolitics. i think they say a lot in opposition to bad things that happen and are happening but when they are asked to intervene they dont, they are too removed at all times so they just defer, look at the war on yugoslavia. They say it was illegal for the US to do what they did but they later said, "illegal but excusable", they are like a mouthpiece without a means. the mouth can be great but if not backed up by actions all it does it act as a sounding board at best and a delaying tactic at worst.
The Guardian tauts itself as "capitalisms conscience", and i've found them lacking in a number of areas INCLUDING on the topic of Assange, and of overconsumption driven by the sheer number of people on the planet, and on technofeudalism. i wonder if the UN plays a similar role of "capitalisms conscience", says a lot but goes MIA.
I will say that not all the people that i consider downstream of the UN are bad/or even corrupt, i think some a doing the best they can. some i consider fighters just like me, but are they fighting to get further up the UN ladder or are they fighting a fight for the people maybe they are doing both. but yeah i find those with mmt fetish repulsive.
>there is not a solution (to unwanted births) that you can just deliver
its not "a solution" no, not implying simplicity. Education, family planning services, contraception. They are vital things, but not magic....diligence and care needed.
>Family Jewels leak by Ford
?
>Nixon
an ignorant muppet. did brutal things for the benefit of "united fruit company", and brutal stuff w the cia in many places. terrible person. are you saying he turned a corner in the mid-late seventies, if so, his type often do this for their public image, legacy, public safety post-office.... its performative, staged, too little too late. etc trump is same. ppl say "banned from twit?" pls! he/or they WANTED him to have a break from corporate media. he put on a bit show, allowed himself to be useless to the ppl for 4 years, allowed the worst elements to enrich themselves, and print money while just saying look at the stock market aren't i a great president. TruthSoc was just an astroturf psyop served on cloudflare like all false shit is.
> (Wikipedia)functions as either a starting point or at least a baseline for quality
i say no. quote sources they use at a minimum, pls.
>German reliance on Russian fuel
yes, i think in the lead up to wwii there was a pact to serve each others needs also, BUT the money from the uk and us bankers and industrialists was able to derail any and all efforts (possibly fascist efforts so not excusing them) there.
germany DID attack the UK in ww2 but it was a short and limited attack, it seemed that the main interest of germany was indeed russia, and russia did lose 20 million fighting the germans, and was able to finally defeat them, but yeah i also don't personally want to get drawn into a WW2 discussion either. altho we DO have all the time in our entire lives ahead of us so.... :P
>Fedilist
i MAY have seen this?
>difficult to find a client that was not written in Java
i2pd (written in c++ and its improving all the time just like the java based router). There's a partly written rust router somewhere too, in case anyone interested.
>kademlia plus venti

>the White House believes that you can't even have a Biden without censorship) and so the question is moot if anti-censorship tools proliferate
