yeah and its sorta silly to even pretend that there is private ownership of land given property tax and regulations. The truth is the state owns the land that it holds by military might and the citizens rent portions for their needs.

yeah its the same with patent. I often think both should only be given to individuals and entities should not be able to have them.

Thing is that copywrite did serve a purpose and was for like 20 years before disney got it extended to the nth degree. The idea was the authors had a chance to make money but were expected to be prolific enough to have more writings by the time 20 years was over. I would like to see with patents that once you get one you have a limited time to go to market. Maybe 10 years and if you product is ever not available for purchase (at a cost equivalent to the average cost accounted for inflation or something) you lose the patent so others can produce it. So like stop making an attachment for a product and now anyone can.

I mean I have not been paying much attention except for church of thighentology but just checked there and a quick scroll or two showed different people posting.

oh I thought it showed a random foss software. I was thinking I will just stick with osalt and portable apps. I was watchig the eclipse and its a wierd hour so its not giving anything for me looking at it now.

are you blocking the actual communities because like I don’t know what might be wrong with my feed but I don’t even think I have seen 10 communitites. are you maybe just blocking users?

random???

Dual seems rather limited. I mean unitarians and bahai combine more than two.

I really feel it should not be necessary to ask them to site all sources though. It should be default behavior.

Piers anthony wrote a fantasy series with the idea of it being somewhat educational. It has this thing where the stories take place in different points in history and its like the characters are reincarnated but its not even quite like that. It is that everything that happened in the story has happened to the characters but the time period changes but at any particular point in the stories the characters would remember all the events as taking place in the time period they are currently in. Its hard to describe but I really liked it but I now notice there are five books and I only read the first three.

yeah my thought was like how often is a web search “right”. To me ai search is just another version of search. its like at first searching gave you a list of urls, then it gave you a list of urls with human type names as well to make it more clear what it was, then it started giving back little summaries to give an idea of what each page was saying. now it gives you a summary of many pages. My main complaint is these things should be required to giver references and their answers should pretty much look like a wikipedia page but the little drop down carats or roll overs (although I prefer a drop down myself).

honestly I don’t see the thing here. unless its about edge being a respin of chrome. all macs come with safari, all windows edge, ironically its a few linux distros that come with chrome while others use a default foss browser. I feel like their biggest monopoly is windows giving up and using their core rather than making their own.

Sorry no. My condo is massively in need of renovation and I was saving and planning for it before I lost my job so luckily that ended up being a thing to get me through it.

nothing I can control. All sorts of things im hoping for.

I don’t view them any worse than google or yahoo or reddit, etc. etc. I do like refering to the fediverse as the federation but thats just my star trek bias.

I get annoyed how putting a source in is not consistantly done with many of them. when you follow up and ask for them you generally get them but im going to look that over. I like when the answer looks like a wikipedia article with little number references.

this is one reason why my wife answers phone calls with hola in as much as a mexican accent as she can muster.

clapper. plug it in and its good to go. don’t want to block it in to much though and muffle sound getting to it.

It means piled higher and deeper will become the official definition.

ooh. plus one for steamdeck. should have mentioned it in my comments.
