4GB is actually more usable than you'd think; most web browsers have performance settings that make the experience just fine with even a hundred tabs on low-end devices (Chromium gets more points than Firefox on this for its toaster mo

Counter-perspective: On price: By releasing things as cheaply as they can within reason, this vastly broadens who can get one. Given that they depend on the community to create most if not all of the software, this means that software sup

I used a line from his own comment for that; check the last three words he used within. Further, I didn't say he was. I said his comment was. Because it is.

Views like the ones you've expressed here, which frame this as a property issue, will lead more and more to begin to think that intellectual property isn't "property" at all.

It was never the correct thing to say or think, you're correct. Society has been critical of people insisting on that practice anywhere from 1960 to 2020, and there's an obvious reason why most depictions of it in media for the pa

APL came before Perl, and APL is regarded by many to be one of the best languages overall. I'd recommend reading Iverson's "Notation as a Tool of Thought" for a new perspective. Plenty of people, from Richard Stallman to

Opera is still proprietary, and, uh, also they got caught doing some stuff involving predatory short-term loans to the impoverished in African countries, not to mention their CEO was also involved in an entirely different Chinese conglome

lobste.rs is almost entirely content marketing spam, and it actually has heavier censorship of non-spam than HN does; you can see this pretty easily by checking their mod log.

The ads are job ads, not product ads. All of your criticisms don't really apply here. I say this as a person who doesn't like them and rather wishes they weren't here.

I asked this a while back. Answer was roughly that job ads aren't substantive and offer little in terms of actual conversation, and repetitive threads that lack substance primarily attract people with previous grievances. This would le

There's no contract with books. Further, most capitalist philosophers worth their salt admit that intellectual property is ridiculous: there were actual debates when the copyright system got put into place, and there were actual debate

You're ignoring the reality that digital assets aren't like cars. You made a stupid analogy, I called you out on your stupid analogy. Close to 100% of the cost of creating a book, movie or song lies in the creation Correct. n

Worst possible case you can drop the messages from a domain, which is how federated systems already work. There's no reason to ever revoke control for messaging systems, though, genuinely: imagine if your e-mail address could be taken

This makes me wonder: isn't this basically the perfect thing to bootstrap a decentralized DNS with? In a messaging system there's no reason you'd ever want to revoke control of a domain, and the idea of genuinely-anonymizable

Tell me, though, if the person doesn't take your car, doesn't take literally any asset from you, and just copies your car, how's that taking your car? Though I have to point out you seemingly ignored my other question, so I&#

Copying isn't stealing. If I made a perfect double of your car based on a picture of it, and you didn't lose your car, there is literally no way you can make that out to be bad. Your analogy falls flat on its face and chokes to
