‘tensions continue to rise over the death of an ethnic minority in a agrarian province at the hands of state security forces’ Is absolutely nothing compared to the mountains of analysis of how racist and brutal the US police are, likening t

It’s not quite the same - it’s far more critical.

> Complete with referring to police as "security forces", The western press goes in to far more detail about how oppressive, brutal and unaccountable American police are than any other country. There is pretty much an unending

NFTs are not signatures on works of art. The media is not signed by the NFT. A signed artwork is more valuable than an unsigned artwork. However NFTs do not create signed artworks. The artwork remains the same. The NFT is just a receipt f

There are in fact laws governing copyright, and international agreements. Using the words macro and universally allow your statement to be true in the most literal sense that there are no universal laws , but otherwise, copyright is ju

Very few of these things seem to have gotten better overall, so I’d say that most of these companies have failed, as has the overall strategy.

> There isn’t a single definition True but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a commonality to the meaning. We don’t use the term ‘ownership’ to refer to preparing food, or driving a car for example. And as I have pointed out. The lie is not

If anything, a paying customers voice counts for less on this issue.

This kind of conferring of unique rights is nothing to do with NFTs. For example, I can offer a free milkshake to anyone who parks in my parking lot in a yellow car. Then yellow car isn’t doing anything in this situation, I am, and if I c

This comment adds no additional justification for then claims. A lot of people think it’s exactly about tulips, and nobody is making a good argument why it isn’t.

Right, but there was never an asterisk. There was slavery, and a set of ideals which were ultimately incompatible with it, and a bunch of people who wanted to keep profiting from it. No asterisks. Just a disagreement which was settled by

This isn’t correct. People outside the ‘community’ are using a long established meaning. People within the community are using a meaning that has essentially none of the attributes of the conventional definition while claiming that the me

I partially agree with this. But then why all the bullshit? Why don’t people just come out and say that it’s all about in-game items for the metaverse rather than all the talk about owning media? Nothing suggests that existing NFTs will b

Your response is a non-sequitur. I said: “The only value comes from rights that token can confer.” Did you not see that?

Sure but that’s what people mean by ‘at large society’. The fact that there are a few socialists tho object is irrelevant.

It’s reasonable to assert that NFT’s are about conferring social status in the metaverse. I.e. they are in-game currency. People are ‘hung up’ on analogies to physical ownership, because proponents of NFT’s keep claiming they are like deeds

It would be trivial for existing browsers to adopt Gemini if they wanted to, so that’s a moot point. Some of the goal is to prevent it from being so easily infected with tracking, malware, and other anti-user mechanisms. Another goal is to

I used amfora for quite a while before I found Lagrange and Diohsc. It is a very good client, also probably the easiest to use TUI client for starting out. Diohsc takes a little getting used to, but once you start using marks and the queue

Diohsc is the other contender for best client, but for a new user, Lagrange is best.

At the beginning of an article you told an outright lie. Later you equivocate. The idea that a lie stops being a lie because of the number of words you say later is obviously absurd. As I have pointed out this is a motte and Bailey fallacy

The bored ape yacht club grants a copyright license to people who buy the NFT. Nothing more and nothing else. That is not ownership.

“(b) Ownership. (i) When you purchase a Meebit, you own only the NFT, not any associated Art. Each Meebit is associated with a non-fungible token (an “NFT”) on the Ethereum blockchain. When you acquire a Meebit, you own the NFT, not the ass

> You just don’t know what’s happening. You mean NFTs as an in-game currency for Facebook’s VR? Yes, that’s a reasonable account of what they are good for.

It’s perfectly fair to say that NFTs work as an in-game currency and nothing more.
