They don’t take people’s work. People give their work to them to sell it. You read too many conspiracy theories.
If there is no IP, the authors won’t be able to sell their books AT ALL. Which is certainly worse than Amazon taking most of their revenue share.

Just use auto-renewal tools Duh.

Amazon didn’t steal it. The author chose to sell it on the platform. The terms are very clear before engaging in the contract.
Also IP isn’t the problem here. IP doesn’t make Amazon act shitty.

So? You can have both.
Besides, most FOSS projects specify a license that forbids stealing the code and using it in ways to make profits while not contributing back or making the fork open themselves. These licenses protect the IP of the FOSS projects. There are countless lawsuits of FOSS projects against IP theft. Without IP, FOSS projects will have a hard time to justify their work.

Not true. You mean scientists employed by universities. I mean scientists working in R&D of companies.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’. 2 days ago:
Exactly. Without IP, scientists and researchers could only make a living through government funding. And that means governments also fully control the research and development. A free market needs IP. It’s fundamental.

This is not about being greedy. This is about incentives. IP enables billions of jobs.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’. 2 days ago:
People suggesting this are shortsighted and naive. Removing IP means that a lot of industries will no longer have the incentive to be innovative or creative as using other’s ideas is much cheaper. This will hamper productivity of our society in the long term.

- Comment on Europe proposes backdoors in encrypted platforms under new security strategy 1 week ago:
But it’s not going to happen. It’s so unbelievably stupid and impossible to implement.
- Comment on Europe proposes backdoors in encrypted platforms under new security strategy 1 week ago:
They keep trying. It’s not going to happen. Relax.

An LLM is not a “top AI” for beating games. It’s a language model…
It’s like saying “the fastest Bugatti in the world struggles to float on the water”.
- Comment on Discord plans to roll out third-party ads on its mobile apps, starting with a mobile pilot for Video Quests, video ads that let users earn rewards, in June 2025. 3 weeks ago:
Matrix is almost an alternative to Discord as much as PeerTube is an alternative to Disney+.
- Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen 3 weeks ago:
You don’t get it… Your logic is flawed. By pirating, you support the current business practices. You encourage them to do more of it. Piracy is the worst kind of protest.
Let me explain: When everyone who disagrees with how big tech make profits leaves to do piracy, then the only people who are left paying are the people that suppport big-tech or don’t care. Consequently the exact thing you’re ‘protesting’ against becomes the most profitable and only way to make money. Guess where that leads the industry…
The only way of protest is with your money. Spend it on good alternatives so they become the next profitable thing.
- Comment on South Africa and China establish record-breaking 12,900 km ultra-secure quantum satellite link. 3 weeks ago:
I haven’t read the paper, but how does China being involved in it has any affect on the security? Security is intrinsically independant of the developer or operator. It’s a mathematical or physical property. And mathematics and physics is everywhere the same.
- Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen 4 weeks ago:
Everyone has pirated something when they were 15. I’m still pirating stuff sometimes to this day. But I don’t see it as my mission to spread it like an agenda on every thread on the internet. Literally copy-paste without context. What’s the point of doing this? It’s really annoying especially when phrased so arrogantly, like it’s the only right thing to do and everyone should pirate because it’s some kind of political protest or something. It’s all bullshit. Just do your thing and let everyone do theirs.
- Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen 4 weeks ago:
I can do that without piracy aswell.
But this is still totally off-topic as you cannot pirate Roku. It’s a device. Not a streaming service.
- Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen 4 weeks ago:
Pirates are a local minority. The majority does in fact share my opinion.
- Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen 4 weeks ago:
🤏
- Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen 4 weeks ago:
Just take it elsewhere. I’m tired of seing the same comment on 75% of my threads recently. You don’t need to tell us you do piracy. You’re not actually on a mission. You can cope elsewhere.
- Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen 4 weeks ago:
I was expecting them to release one with the Switch 2 but haven’t heard anything yet unfortunately.
- Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen 4 weeks ago:
Shut up. Stop making every thread about piracy. I’m tired of this. Nobody cares.
- Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen 4 weeks ago:
Roku is terrible anyways. They can’t even accurately reproduce the colors.

- Comment on Discord is discussing an IPO 5 weeks ago:
I’ve tried it. But it feels more like conferencing and less tailored to me a as a gamer wanting to join channels.
I like Discord as it is. I wish there was a self-hosted federated software just like it. I know about Revolt Chat but it doesn’t have feature parity.
- Comment on Discord is discussing an IPO 5 weeks ago:
The only reason I’m using Discord is for the seemless video chats and screen share. Teamspeak has neither.
- Comment on Discord is discussing an IPO 5 weeks ago:
Discord has a monopole in its nieche market. Teamspeak and Mumble are basically non-existent. Pretty sure the IP won’t be too bad.
