It's interesting that Youtube allows you to specify your video is Creative Commons, yet provides no way for you to legally do anything with that video except watch it

Can multiple people edit the file at the same time then?

Weirdly, every server I'm on is primarily text. I'm in multiple text chat rooms on multiple servers in irc though.

Typing to people you don't really know on the internet? Seems the same use case

only if you rely on a domain name for identity, instead of private/public keypairs

2 parts, walls should be easier to open and close, that's the major point Secondly a minor addition, if there were a standard for junctions of power cables, so they could easily be added to, that would be nice. Then installing a socket

The existing methods of building houses are terrible though. It's stupidly expensive to edit a house, they're designed and built as if it's still 1800. Why does adding a socket into a wall cost more than $50? Should be able t

The insane part is a carbon tax wouldn't be that high, it's only about 1-10% of the cost to save the world

It's only that cheap because they're using our atmosphere as a free open sewer

Depends how you tie it to a real person, if the real person has to give up something to sell an identity, make the cost of selling it high. Problem is also how do you tell the downvotes because their new post is bad from the downvotes becau

SpaceX want to produce the least rocket they need, NASA want 0 failures, so they'll always have too much rocket Also SpaceX plan to make 1000 Starships, and NASA plans to make about 5 of theirs

The only reason to want population growth is to have more people to pay taxes, if they're unwanted unaffordable children they're not going to be paying more taxes than they cost the state in benefits.

Either you create a cross platform pseudo identity, and gain reputation gradually, or you link your pseudo identity to your real identity to start off with 1/8 billionth of reputation. Depends if there's a way to link a pseudo ide

But allowing people to decide when to have children via birth control doesn't reduce the population, it just means the children have better lives as their parents can afford them and don't need to rely on welfare.

Chrome crashing and losing all the tabs was the only way to keep them under control, now with bugs fixed and a session manager extension, I can always get them back.

I have 1000 tabs open over various computers, not sure it's a good thing though, 10% I need, 20% I forgot to close, and 70% I'm totally going to get around to reading one day

Only if only 1% of the population know the risks, teach the other 99% to care. Same with any civic problem

God forbid most people I know have control of their own PC, they have no clue, and nor should they need one. iPhone users are safer from malware, PC users are safer from governments and Apple controlling what they can do on their computer.

Indeed, so the user should not buy a computer where they're not in control of the TPM, if you can't disable it/add your own keys, then don't buy that computer

It's pragmatic to not continue the monopolies that cost the taxpayer money on an ongoing basis. The point is to not pay Microsoft money to promote Microsoft's continued monopoly, which will mean you have to pay them money again ne

And that's why you only learn to drive an excavator if you get a job that requires it. Nothing at the level students do spreadsheets is different between spreadsheet programs

Mostly just shows that open systems require more resources to develop at as rapid a pace as closed systems. Email/Usenet were fossilised the day they were born pretty much, we're still living with stupid fixed width lines of text
