patents and copyright are pretty different though. IMO both are bad but you can at least make a case for protecting intelectual work from copying. Patents protect replication of ideas and ideas don’t have to be unique at all. If I say it was my idea to call variables a,b,c,d,e in that order that means anyone who wants to do that in their creations needs my permission which is fucking bonkers.
I’m convinced that software patents exist purely for regulatory capture.
This is crazy that we tolerate such a breach of social trust.
it’s stupid. I’m convinced that people who oversee software patents don’t even know what’s a computer.
even worse. software patents are just more idiotic copyrights.
Ah I missed this part of the article:
Yet within 24 hours, parliament tabled an emergency motion to reverse these changes - a move which has sparked widespread condemnation and fears of a constitutional crisis.
This does make sense now. It’s just a very poorly written article :|
I don’t see how removing the 20% requirement could mean this. Wouldn’t that be the opposite? Less restrictions meaning more competition?
On Wednesday, Indonesia’s top court ruled that parties would not need a minimum 20% of representation in their regional assemblies in order to field a candidate.
…
If passed, it would maintain the status quo, which favours parties in the ruling coalition of the outgoing president
How?
no uh, you wouldn’t be happy to drive a Russian vehicle unless you like awful rides and literally death. There are no airbags or any modern safety features other than the seatbelt lol
Can someone spread around some guides on how to apply an everything. The crocodile tears would be incredible!
I find the whole thing so ugly even as a youtube plus subscriber. How much possibly you could gain here? isn’t youtube already profitable and being run by one of the world’s richest corporations? just let people watch and educate themselves and whatnot.
I heavily disagree with this. Stepping back to “walls of text with hyperlinks” is a bad idea that’ll service no one and will never succeed in any reasonable capacity.
Current web technology is not what caused bad web. The exception would be too powerful js where js should only provide interactivity and extra flavor to the page rather than run a full application which can fingerprint and punish user agents.
Javascript, embeded images and audio are awesome things that can improve content readability a thousand fold. Just look at best docs on the web - all of them use these features to tend their users. Even wikipedia added js flavoring like hover pop ups. Because it works.
Also these days it’s all about rushing content and pandering to the lowest common denominator. Though pop tech channels were always this way. I stumbled on Unbox Therapy lately and it’s so blatant that it almost feels illegal.
Just offer file downloads. I swear the society is regressing technologically speaking (not aiming at you OP)
Eh, it’s the same thing. If LLM can help me design a better process for my day-to-day tasks even if it’s not part of the process literally it’s still part of the process. Just like any growth like reading a book is part of the business process.
Not even going to touch your second paragraph and it’s completely unrelated. Cleaning for a living is not “running a small business”.
Keyboards already have too many keys. Your fingers are extremely inefficient at certain distances so you should never even touch numpad with proper keyboard design. 10 fingers can combine a lot of keys.
Yes of course it can help you. The lack of imagination in this thread is truly astounding.
You have an assistant with you that can instantly answer your questions and help you develop your business:
I’m not directing this at OP but to all of the naysayers in this thread - if you can’t find use for a tireless, 20$/mo assistant that will instantly answer your questions then you should not be owning any business or leading anything for that matter.
FYI caffeine and alcohol don’t actually build tolerance unless you really drink a lot.
Cold water works especially well for this! I do ice water with a straw to not shock my teeth
Journaling.
It’s extremely powerful from mental health to actual planning tasks and keeping track of things but weirdly enough it can be difficult to get into.
My best advice would be to make it as easy and as low stakes as possible at the beginning. Just open file/journal and write anything every day, even if it’s one word. Don’t worry about anything else. Then you can add and evolve this habbit to whatever feels useful to you.
UI designer here - people are simply getting dumber, tech-wise at least.
That being said, there have been a lot of improvements in UI and UX world in the past 20 years the problem is that many users are so technically inept the drag down the entire curve all the way down.
