how about making money from something else like hardware, to fund software (almost like IP is a fiction and people should be making money from tangible things rather than info) I'm sure AI can also brainstorm more ideas for (F)OSS busi

AI created, as of currently, a big creative commons to make use of unlike ever before Also not mentioned as much is the public domain (it would be nice if everything was in the public domain or IP was gotten rid of)

"They think" autism is genetic and that would be fine as a title, but they have not proven it is (only or even mostly) genetic > We don't fully understand how genes combine to make a person autistic.

This is a no-no for some of us, who like to keep books as"mint" as possible; it was even a struggle to get in to bending spines on paperbacks to read them Nevertheless I could see doing this with old books where the pages are alea

I think I prefer maybe the simplicity of 4 way (or even 2 way) stops There are some funny intersection videos from idk what country that have no stop signs or lights or roundabouts and somehow lots of people still manage to get through them

I wonder how many of these "insig figs" are out in the wild just taking up unnecessary hard drive space

The rush towards potential destruction doesn't really surprise me The U.S. has legal weapons that can lead to many harms but people still want the 2nd Amendment to exist Nuclear technology was developed in the past and that could have
