trademarks are good for 10 years and looking at some of twitters trademarks it seems the renewed them in 2019. So yes, in 2029, if X hasn’t reverted to being called twitter then their trademarks will be unprotected.

Uh, the first one. It’s all downhill after that. It’s the only one he’s ever pulled off. Look at the goals for the master plan part 2 and you’ll see that they haven’t managed to do a single one, but Elon still went ahead a published a part 3. Why actually meet goals when you can just pretend you’ve met them by posting new ones, I guess.
This graph has some scale issues; 5 days and 2 months look basically the same and the difference between 5 years and 7 years is also minimal. They would have been better off dropping the “World Wide Web” which doesn’t fit anyway since it isn’t an app and giving more space to everything else.
Yes, but I’ve forgotten it now
It’s another site in fediverse. It’s a link aggregator like Lemmy is. I’m replying to your comment from kbin :)
Apple could do this but they’d be driving away their customer base, the hardware is fine but software is really the reason to get an iphone.
They do? That sucks. I’ve only had iPhones and have gotten the battery replaced in both of them. It’s increased the lifespan of my phones by a couple of years, but it doesn’t double it. I usually start to sick of my hardware after about 5 years.
I don’t really agree with this article. The argument seems to rest on the idea that a representative democracy is a compromise on direct democracy. In reality, even though I have the ability to meaningfully participate in every election a direct democracy would entail, I have no desire to because I have other things I would rather spend my time doing.
Similarly, even if I have the ability to run my own instance (admittedly I do not, but many of us early adopters do), I do not want to. I’m happy to let other people do it as long as those people seem like broadly agree with my morals. I don’t need an close relationship, just a trustful one. This digital forum inherently has even better benefits than real life; if I realize I dislike my current instance, I have the option to move to another instance or create my own. In real life I can only move to another district or hope to vote out my current rep.
Thanks for the shout out. It seems that the original thread was deleted, so I’ll re-explain my idea here. The capped overall karma is to remove the incentive to grind for reputation points. There is fundamentally no point to them, but there is clearly some psychological need driving us to want more of them. This should help with karma farmers.
The magazine specific reputation points is so that people can tell when a troll has entered their specific magazine. A troll would have high overall reputation but in your magazine it would be very low, which allows for them to be quickly identified and banned.
@RheingoldRiver I like your idea of a percent breakdown, but it wouldn’t help magazines identify spammers. A spammer can create an unlimited number of magazines with legitimate sounding names and spread out their grinding among them. The percent breakdown would look normal unless someone really dug into it.
What I don’t have a solution for is creating an incentive structure that discourages shills from creating alt accounts in order to gain more influence.
In the 90’s you could’ve written an equally true headline replacing “Tesla owners” with “PC owners”. It’s not an indication that BEV’s are a fad, it’s an indication that wealth inequality and sexism continues to this day.
I only have so many interesting things to say. I don’t really want to post for the sake of generating content, so making 5-10 posts right off the bat seems like the wrong way to go about it. I think it’d be better to make one post a day or one every other day or so that anyone who comes in can see that it’s recently active.
The only point of karma and account age is to be able to post in subreddits that have minimum karma requirements and so people don’t think you’re a shill. But if you don’t plan to post anymore, there’s not anything to regret.
