@SecoasecasMouse @CorioPsicologia o que simplemente sea un favor personal que ya se saldará si la otra persona alguna vez necesita algo. La reciprocidad retardada > trueque en mi opinión :garfield:

@fanta @parismarx @politechs conoces this machine kills?

Por saber si darle un tiento

Muy instructiva la charla en la CNT en Colmenar Viejo hoy sobre el impacto ecosocial de los centros de datos. Muchas gracias a @tunubesecamirio por pasarse por nuestro humilde local

@CorioPsicologia ojalá fuera como en los sims y pudiéramos quitarle la escalera de la piscina

Os comparto un artículo de opinión publicado en @ElSaltoDiario muy interesante https://www.elsaltodiario.com/inteligencia-artificial/ideologia-inteligencia-artificial

Hoy he terminado Virtuaverse, una aventura gráfica un tanto retro de temática ciberpunk muy entretenida. Os dejo alguna imagen del juego y un enlace a la banda sonora en Bandcamp

@Philsan @fanta yo creo que esto te molaría:)

@CorioPsicologia me pasa igual, encima estoy en una reunión y confieso que mi pelea contra el sueño es titánica

@pluralistic good birthday present for me to have this! Already a backer and eagerly awaiting this one. I enjoyed the other two MH books but this one seems specially interesting!!

"Geometry hates Tesla, and physics hates Starlink. Reality has a leftist bias. The future is fiber, and public transit. These are both vastly preferable, more efficient, safer, more reliable and more plausible than satellite and private vehicles. Their only disadvantage is that they fail to give an easily gulled, thin-skinned compulsive liar more power over billions of people. That's a disadvantage I can live with."

Great piece by @pluralistic

@KevinCarson1 @notroot @cstross @pleaseclap @exception
People always forget that the entire argument about copyright and patent is not some form of "property rights" thing, but whether art and science/technology can be funded without them.

I believe they can, that's why I'm against "IP"

Plus, I like my GNU/Linux setup, and part has to be with the philosophy under which it developed (users guide the development of technology)

@notroot @KevinCarson1 @cstross @pleaseclap @exception
Sorry but strong disagree here.

As Kevin said, plagiarism is a very different thing from copyright infringement. It's fraud and it's covered with the same law as any other fraud (at least it should/would).

As for sales, there are other ways to get profits without copyright in the 21st century, you can presale books like @pluralistic does with his audio books.

As for the it's mine, if you want a copy just ask.

First, what exactly is yours?

Second, taken strictly, that would ban the second hand market and goes against the first sale doctrine.

Third, I think people have the moral intuition that if you pay to get some work, the author should get a share, the case with Tolkien and LOTR would be an example.

@notroot @pluralistic @KevinCarson1 @cstross @pleaseclap @exception
I think it's you who is confusing things.

Copyright, by it's own name, implies a right to make copies, which is a production right. There are also moral rights, which, as I mentioned earlier, can be covered by other laws or social norms.

The issue is not about what's wrong with copyright, but about what does it acomplish that can't be acomplished any other way vs the evils it produces

@notroot @pluralistic @KevinCarson1 @cstross @pleaseclap @exception
Making copies of things is essentially what computers do. To prevent that, in today's world, requires intervention with basic people's possesions.
That's why copyrights are a tcing of the past. See this talk by Richard Stallman on the topic, for example

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/copyright-versus-community.en.html

That's the main point, actually. Benefit vs cost, it's no longer a fair exchange.

Btw Kevin is an author too
