Ford patenting mounting a generator in the bed is a perfect example of how incredibly facetiously bullshit patents are. Generators are well over 100 years old.

Ford patenting mounting a generator in the bed is a perfect example of how incredibly facetiously bullshit patents are. Generators are well over 100 years old. The idea that we can just go patent where we put this classic tech each time we have some place to put it is insane, beyond redemption. Each niche for an invention does not make the invention anew. Yet thats what this fallen demonic horseshit trap would have us believe, would constrain us all by. It's cursed. Fuck this in extreme. Beyond worthless: insulting & actively damaging. This mis-governance should be purged with prejudice. This is exactly the same sort of nonsense 99% of software patent go by. Re-patenting the same idea but in a new context, again and again. It's unbelievably soulless & fallen, completely beyond comprehension that we'd give these uncountable falsities even a passing nod. I really look forward to smaller, more efficient electricity generating power-plants. Comboing good electric systems with range extenders is a wonderful first order project & the higher order outcomes of good small power plants is an interesting & useful complement. But as usual we seem intent on making the good incredibly fraught & difficult, as much as the law can.
