@freemo I unfortunately hover on the edge of the worrying about authoritarian gov't policies, and have to keep myself from drifting completely into it. Times like these are the times we lose are rights, because those in power always take advantage.

@freemo That is perfect

@Sphinx I've been back and forth on it since it came out, but on it now for over a year nearly exclusively, all devices

Every year, I revisit my idea of a Randomocracy - where all of congress, VP, president is picked at random SS# drawing. At this point, I still think it's a pretty solid idea, with results that would be better than what we have now, at worst on par.

@philipwhite Flying out to LAN events lol

@Koala Pretty good, besides the video I had to make with a buddy of mine for his Arab friend.

@design_RG I'm severely allergic to cats, but not to your posts, so keep em comin'

It begins...

@utf8equalsX Is it salt? Drilling holes in stumps and filling with salt will rapidly dehydrate the stump, allowing it to break and be removed easily

@Matter Yeah, it's just hard for me to decide what's right. I mean if you built a house with your bare hands and left it to your family, shouldn't your family still own it forever or until they sell it? Or creatively, should an artist have rigths to their creative work forever (not sure about that one). Should a scientist have rights forever to a breakthru? Some of these are yes, and some of these are no. Just hard to say when private ownership should stop, or if it ever should. Problem is, even when it loses copyright, more people sell it, and profit. Maybe copyright death should require non-profit control?

@Matter I've often thought about that, and have gone back and forth on what I consider "right".

@Matter ahh, gotcha. Sorry @jason_s_dodd

@Matter I thought copywright on books lasts 70yrs past the death of the author @jason_s_dodd

@lightmyfire@fosstodon.org you could probably just set up an autoforward for a while, until people get use to it. Just an idea @Tutanota
