Love your edit. Sounds like me, lol.

Perhaps we need a change.

But do we need a change to a government more in line with the “new direction” of American politics, as DSmith so eloquently put it?

Oh, I typed that line wrong to mount the drive and because the non-os drive isn’t detected you’re only going to boot to emergency mode?

Cool cool cool.

I’ve heard people like that one. I didn’t try it, but I love Nobara as my primary OS.

It’s so cool. We’ve been waiting for Linux to cover gaming and it really has with the push from Steam.

Personally, I’ve never had trouble even with partitions, but Windows isn’t going to mess with drives that aren’t NTFS.

Good stuff. Too many people lately are all “no copyright would be an improvement.” Yeah, maybe for the corps who could freely use your output as they wish.

Nobara or Pop! OS would be good choices.

Yeah, VR is still catching up, but I feel like (dual) booting to Win 10 just for specific purposes would greatly reduce the risk.

I don’t think that bit of syntax changes the point at all.

You seem very convinced, considering the downvotes of discussion.

Edit - lol, like I said.

So… out of date stats about advertising?

If that were true, removing copyright entirely would benefit society.

Just because it’s been corrupted doesn’t mean the intent and purpose isn’t still there.

It’s absurd that we essentially agree on what needs to happen, but you’re stuck on the idea copyright currently has no benefit to anyone but big business.

Seems like a strange application of stats when, as you say, the regulated safety features - the important ones - need not come into a decision-making process and advertising them would be a waste of time.

Bahaha, what kind of a bizarre statement is that?

Was he trying to imply the government only uses spreadsheets and nosql DBs?

Or did he think it was necessary to point out that your average government employee isn’t writing their own SQL to grab data they need?

do syntax

Ironic phrase.

They’re being told online that because a new party leader became PM without an election (completely normal) that Canadians don’t have a vote.

They would be bringing freedom back to Canadians…

Yes, my point is not removing it or reducing it to 5 years.

I’m not saying copyright is doing its job particularly well right now, but reducing its protection is not helping creators.

Copyright IS about protecting creators; we’re just still letting corporations run the show.

Absolutely. Finally a reply with some sense. This would work well, or at least better.

The “copyright doesn’t protect anyone so let’s remove it” people are just playing into the hands of big corporations.

Those are problems with the shitty enforcement, and allowing corporations to run rampant.

It needs to be refined, not removed.

Without copyright, you could write a novel, and any corp or person could just start publishing it without paying you a dime.

Just because something isn’t protecting well enough doesn’t mean you get rid of it.

So you believe there is no protection for creators at all and removing copyright will help them?
