Fight back. If you are contemplating the fear of death from climate change, then the courage to fight those responsible should seem like a relativity small hill to climb.
RadicalEcologist
This seems like some cherry picked bulshit. I'm an ecologist and a parent and i do not lie to my kid, nor do any of the other parents i know wotking in the natural sciences. Truth is best, the world is falling apart because of a handful of powerful people can't stomach the extremely viable solutions. We are at war, if you see it or not, and not preparing your kids is negligence.
This is the only way to go! I pair this with syncthing so it is shared between my devices without storing it in cloud as an added bonus.
As i explained before, there are already examples of creators doing this. I'll also point you to FOSS like the Linux Kernel which runs all of the worlds super computers and most of the internet. Also we are communicating currently through examples of this.
The equation is very simple for all forms of creation. The act of creation has real value and should be compensated for (in our society this means money, but this isn't a rule). Once created, easily replicable items are only worth their cost to replicate and all other value is artificially induced. We compensate the act of creation fairly by any of the means i mentioned before and then all other costs are material and labor. This is fairest to creators although you will see less ultra wealthy artists, this will leave more wealth potential for artists with smaller starting resources.
Also, Art and knowledge are inseparable and this is obvious when you see how a scientist crafts their knowledge into stories and artists weild their medium as engineers.
School needs text book, school comissions some team to make text book, school pays people fairly for their effort to make text book, everyone has textbook and the only sad people are the greedy publishers who would have done no work. You want print copies you pay for cost to print from wherever you want. Besides, texts books are a pretty dead medium of learning in the digital age open source free options already exist and are being actively produced by volunteers.
You can already go see bands play other peoples music, have you really not heard of cover bands? And despite cover bands existing people like seeing the original even when the original is way past their prime.
Corporations already sell sell many artists works after only paying the artist once and never again. But, who would buy from a corporation for anything more than the printing cost? Same as the textbook scenario. Some people want new painting, people comission painting, painter get paid fairly for painting, everyone has access to new art, only greedy coroporations sad.
Still figuring this platform out so hopefully this comment works.
Think of a comissioned painting. The artist is paid fairly once for that painting and then they never get money for it again. Copyright doesn't protect them so much as it protects those that can use their excess capital to horde things. Art has been around forever, copyright is new. Bands that make great music will be paid to perform, actors paid on set, writers as comission or sallaried. None of this needs copyright. Hell, the rise in free community/patron sponsored content like khan academy, most podcasts, and even some music artists proves we don't need copyright even in a system where it exists.
Thanks to this post i just realized I've been using arch for 9 years. I did hop DEs a bunch up till about 3 years ago when i settled for plasma on Wayland (on? with? Idk), but the arch ecosystem has proven the perfect balance of flexibility and stability (yes i find arch very stable). Before arch i distro hopped almost annually since about 2006.
This sounds like a response from a LLM
I am betting it is a friend from the Elasmobranchii, but will be interesting to see.
