Well, that's the point. In order for that system to work as described, you would need some kind of centralized authority to validate and enforce it. Once you've introduced that piece, there's no point using NFTs anymore - you can just use any kind of simpler and more efficient key/authentication mechanism.

So even if the corporations wanted to use such a system (which, to your point, they do not), it still wouldn't make sense to use NFTs for it.

Also ridiculous patent trolling.

This one is also a pretty good fit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kguaGI7aZg

Well said. On top of all that, he is the President of the United States of America engaging in that position's role as leading representative in the country's interactions on the global stage. Like it or not, that makes his arrogance American arrogance.

And on top of all that, patent trolling to hamstring any competition. I'm done encouraging their nonsense with my money.

Kind of telling that he doesn't even provide an example of anything positive, but a negative example was easy to find.

I assumed we were talking about Musk.

That would require not being blinded by his own ego.

Besides communities, it could also depend on your instance. The one I'm on, for example, makes a point of providing a safe space for gender diverse people to hang out, so the admins will defederate with any instance that does not police itself sufficiently to avoid bigotry. I imagine that means I end up seeing very little of the hate that goes in the broader fediverse. No big loss, I'm sure.

I agree about that. That makes perfect sense. It's when you start factoring in religion that it all breaks down for me.

That makes even less sense. If you don't think you qualify to get into heaven, why would you desire to speed up the rapture? You'd just get left behind anyway.

"Make Christianity Christian Again"

I honestly find it baffling. If you believe in heaven, why would you fear death? Not saying you're wrong, I just cannot comprehend that mindset.

I guess it's technically not bribery if you only defrauded people into thinking they were going to receive a bribe. /s

That's one way to shut someone up, lol

So he admits to being a witch...

That is from Thomas Jefferson:

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." https://www.quotedb.com/quotes/2074

Republicans do seem to be all about the founding fathers, so I guess they're just trying to make it possible to follow his guidance by proactively providing some tyrants.

Finally got around to reading the article, and this part was a pleasant surprise:

...there’s a lot more on the way in the coming weeks, including the return of Game Informer’s print magazine. Our intent is to bring back the magazine bigger and better than it was before, and add a host of membership and subscription benefits, including an expanded scope to our videos, streaming, and feature coverage, while also broadening the range of experts and partnerships we tap to bring you those perspectives.

To your point, it remains to be seen if they'll succeed, but it sounds like they are at least trying.

It should also be mentioned that it was owned by GameStop, so back then it was not completely independent. Sounds like that aspect is different this time around; should be interesting to see how things unfold.

It wasn't really that big a deal. Most of them have more in common than they have differences. If anything, I experienced fewer problems in the age of SVN. It has fewer options than git, but it's also a lot more intuitive and easy to learn, which counts for a lot when your largest limiting factor is your coworkers.

Not saying I want the world to go back to that, just pointing out the hate is really overblown.
