The Snark Urge

An “avalanche” of… Videos with 6 second segments of weird B roll. Okay scary headline, I see you.

M-DISC, at a guess. The media would last long enough at least for grandkids, who will have bigger things to worry about.

I admit I was only thinking about the output of our largest firms. There’s room for that, and I could easily be persuaded that the strength and duration of IP law should be inversely proportional to the size of the IP holder itself. And especially whether it is held by the sole creator, or collectively by private interests. People should own what they personally made, as much as possible under the circumstances.

SFX cue: Wilhelm scream as I am slain by my bad opinion

Yeah nah, bad e.g. but I’m not convinced 5 years is too short.

Ergotamine set of puns there, amanita minute to catch up.

Actually the Meta shitlist is so long and intense that I would sound crazy ten seconds in, so I’ll stop there. Point being, if you think he’s a great guy now you’re definitely not from this universe.

I tried trust cafe around the same time I came here. I ended up falling off, specifically because it wasn’t addicting.

So, his point here is well made, but in the saddest way possible.

If that was the cost of BEVs getting a toehold in the auto industry…

… Nah that still sucks, bad deal

They always are

That’s a finer choice perhaps, but abatement isn’t incorrect here

The civil war was in abatement, but it never did end.
