  • I don't like this mindset, because while there are plenty of businesses, billionaires, and governments that keep burning coal to keep their cash flowing, there's plenty of scientists, activists, engineers, governments, and organizations that are making a difference. We shouldn't be discrediting the hard work of people who are trying to save us or at least delay doomsday.

  • This is probably in a legal grey area in the US. The Yuzu case was settled out of court because Nintendo had dirt on the team behind it, so it's unclear whether a judge would rule that this kind of circumvention is legal.

  • GitHub has to comply with the DMCA. You wouldn't have a case against them if you wanted to sue.

    Literally every repo that got DMCA'd had an opportunity to fight back, and they chose to cave instead. I don't see why repositories going down is a reflection of GitHub's ethics.

  • If the amount of money was small and finite, one person could hoard most of the entire supply of money, and because the rest of society can't use their currency as easily to trade, there's less value in the utility of it. The entire purpose of cash is that it's a universal store of value so that you don't have to trade goods for goods and instead trade cash for goods. Nobody would use cash if they can't ever have enough to purchase what they need in the increments they need.
