  • And Adobe could make you pay that because they had enough money before, to do the lobbying required to make sure the institutions don’t go FOSS.

    Perhaps, would be a nice idea to have some uni that gives both, artistic and programming courses, have the art people interact with software being worked on by the programming people. And they could use any FOSS project for that.
    That way everyone gets lots of code to look at and play with, learn skills that otherwise freshers would gravely lack (looking at other’s code) and maybe also get some upstream commits [1]. while greatly reducing school fees


    1. as a result of the art people (real users) interacting with programmers who are now also interacting with industry people (upstream maintainers) ↩︎




  • Not really.

    They are just getting rid of any and every liberty that any reasonable society would provide.

    Not the rights though. We never had such rights. We just didn’t realise those were needed to be written down because others didn’t violate those expectations.


    Even in an anarchy, without any written rights, we would have those liberties, given a reasonable society. Just not here.







  • This is a nice example that also makes me think more questions.

    • Will the hole punching be forward or backward?
    • Assuming infinite deceleration, for an observer on the other end of the barn, will the barn be punched through, before or after the pole-pusher has stopped?
    • For the pole-pusher, will the barn be punched through, before or after it has stopped?

    Gets more interesting

    The only time any information can be encoded onto entangled particles is when they’re created.

    If that were the case, then we aren’t really doing FTL communication, unless we manage to entangle them at a distance. No?

    OIC, it’s still useful if we want to make a secret key and send it somewhere. Then both sides can take a reading sometime in the future and they can then use whatever cluster of entangled particles they saw, as the symmetric key.
