Asahi Linux

Unless you consider probabilities. That’s a very strange field—you can’t objectively verify it.

It saves ewaste. In 6 years, will macOS still be supported on these machines? Maybe. Will an open source distro be supported? If it’s still thriving, yeah.

where linux?

I wish more people were aware of and as vocally critical of copyright laws as you.

Then steal from those corporations. It’s not hard. Copyright and patents were to benefit the public domain, not anything or anyone else. It does not do that. The public domain has done nothing but perish as more and more “protection” has been applied. Now it is all intellectual “property” to be owned and measured and controlled and regulated, unless you opt out of it with open source.

We have tools like the GPL and AGPL. Corporations hate those. Turns out when you start giving away and “taking”, everyone benefits. Open source hasn’t made the world worse the more it’s been growing — maybe choosing to forgo most protections of copyright and IP is actually good. Maybe.

I’m a socialist. I understand market forces and I wish more people did. Technology itself can help the lower class. Government protection of technology (patents, copyright) will always hinder them.

lowering the barrier to entry without protecting the elite will bring about market forces necessary to defeat corporations—small sizes can move and adapt faster and try new things than those with institutional bureaucracy, who just follow the money and don’t innovate. Corporations learned this, and now use government protections (copyright, patents) to prevent these new, necessary, market forces. I don’t like the “economic” terms myself, but it’s not rocket science that corporations benefit from cops (aka law enforcement aka laws).

We can remove the restrictions on new market forces by reducing IP protections, prevent corporations from mucking with newbies by preventing them from getting uncompetitive protections, or by stealing from corporations without regard for the law. I think we should steal more, honestly.

Stopping technology has never worked, though. I understand the plight of artists, but I’m extremely excited for the new human artists that dream up art that AI can’t create because it hasn’t been fathomed before.

You are fortunate that you have the experience to make that decision. Lots of kids are sold on becoming game devs young, and the ones who succeed land a job at mega publisher studio who has all the financial capital to hire junior devs.

At the end of the day, it is the employer at fault. They are the ones saying “your family’s health insurance will be revoked if we don’t like you” and there are no industry-wide or general unions to tell em to fuck off. “It’s their choice” sure, but they have a family to feed and they know how to make games since they were in high school and that has always fed their kids—how’d they know this industry would turn into a capitalist fuckfest? I get the frustration, but it should be pointed towards organizing and put the pressure upwards, not down or sideways.

And people thought 14 years of copyright was too short… you play capitalist games of granting virtually infinite monopolies (trademarks are incredibly effective at restricting the public domain), as property to sell and trade to the highest bidders, the public domain be damned, and you get capitalist prizes like massive layoffs and unemployment and a deteriorating, corporation-owned culture

The kids are alright

You are beautiful

As an anarchist socialist, Marx was right. Emphasis my own.

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary

I only know about r9k through greentexts, I just stick with trolling on /g/ and /tg/ :P
