Samme her. Kan huske en tråd på reddit da folk begyndte at slette deres SoMe profiler og der var en eller anden solstråle i kommentarerne, der spåede at vi alle sammen ville vende tilbage til de platforme i løbet af nogle uger.
Jeg har siden slettet min reddit profil også og jeg savner intet af det jeg har forladt. Havde faktisk forventet at jeg ville få FOMO, men det har ikke været tilfældet. Tilgengæld er der kommet mere ro på og jeg føler mig meget mindre stresset.
Jeg synes faktisk at det her er positivt fordi det vidner om at de unge selv langsomt migrerer væk fra influencer-platformene, som jeg kalder dem. Det er blevet så upersonligt, hysterisk og kontrolleret at der nok er nogle unge, der savner at kunne være et sted hvor de ikke er i fokus hele tiden og hvor man mere bare kan være og tale med hinanden uden at det skal handle om hvordan man ser ud eller hvor mange penge man har.
At de lige søger mod reddit giver mening fordi det er det eneste mainstream alternativ som folk har hørt om.
Det er grunden til at jeg i sin tid migrerede til reddit selv og lod mine andre profiler dø ud på fb og insta. Gad ikke tiktok og har foragtet Twitter som pesten siden jeg først hørte om den platform.
Jeg joinede reddit i 2019 og forlod det så for nogle uger eller en måned siden netop fordi stemningen derinde var blevet kvælende og mindede for meget om det jeg havde forladt. (Og så var det også en fuck you til Amerika, selvfølgelig).
Nu er jeg så her og hvis der ender med at dukke noget op som er bedre end Lemmy, som minder endnu mere om de ægte gamle forummer, så migrerer jeg videre. Jeg er ikke den eneste, der er blevet træt af corporate SoMe. At de unge selv er begyndt at trække væk og rykke tilbage til noget der minder mere om hvordan internettet var engang, DET giver mig håb. Måske er vi ved at se en ny bølge af mennesker der afviser den osteklokke vi alle sammen blev tvunget ind i, i løbet af de sidste 10 år og måske kan de være med til at stabilisere internetkulturen mere i den kommende fremtid. Det gør mig bare glad at se at der stadig er et ønske om anonymitet og fri samtale på internettet - væk fra store firmaer, der stjæler folks tid og opmærksomhed og giver dem intet igen.
I get that you see no value in art, but I thoroughly disagree with your views on that subject. You and i could have had an interesting discussion on how IP laws affects medicine but I'm not gonna have that with you since you are exactly the kind of person who has zero respect for people who make things.
Yeah. It's a masterpiece and in my opinion, one the best stories she ever wrote. Which says a lot, because she almost only wrote brilliant works.
I always describe her as Scandinavia's JK Rowling (only a thousand times better) when I explain to non-scandinavians what she means to us. I know I am obligated by law to clown on Sweden, but there are a couple of areas where the swedes are superior and Astrid Lindgren is one of those areas.
Also, happy Easter and I hope you have a wonderful Spring, my friend ❤️
Exactly. There are so, so, so many different ways that no IP laws can backfire severely and in ways that people don't think about. The scenario you just used, I hadn't even thought of, but yes! I would HATE for something I created to be used to promote ideologies or products I am vehemently against.
When software and entertainment is created for people to use for free, that is a deliberate action from the creator. They can't do that every single time, but they can do it once in awhile if they please.
I am a professional artist and I sometimes draw things for free for other people because sometimes I decide it is worth it for me to do that. It is kinda like doing volunteer work. You don't get paid, but it gives you something back either socially or ideologically etc.
But I am pretty sure that the people who create free software and entertainment either aren't working full time in software or entertainment and get their money from an unrelated job or they decided to do one for the community inbetween orders. They would not do this all the time if they were financially dependent on their skills and products giving them food on the table. I don't think you would give your own services away for free all the time in the name of community spirit. But once in awhile, is fine. Then it is an agreement you made woth yourself, that you have given a work to the community for free and therefore you don't care about IP.
When it comes to games and copying, well, people have copied media for ages and no matter what you say, it does affect profitability. Musicians can't earn any money on their music. They earn money on merch and when they are on tour. Nobody buys their music anymore because they can just download it for free online. I can't speak for games as I'm not a gamer, but with movies I personally prefer to buy a physical copy of the film rather than downloading movies in poorer quality than what I would have been able to get on bluray. I don't know, but I can imagine people still buy games to get the best quality and maybe enough people want to financially support the developers to make sure that they can still produce good games than they want to make copies and share them. If games ended up being copied to the same extent thst music does, I think you would start to see an effect on the market because making games would no longer be financially possible. In fact, the gaming industry bubble did burst a few years ago and I know a lot of developers who can't find jobs. Similar in animation. And it is not like any of these creators lived good beforehand either. A profitable game, I doubt is profitable in the way you think it is. It is my personal experience from being both part of and a spectator in the industry that the success of any creation is largely smoke and mirrors. People are extremely poor and companies go bankrupt all the time, especially in recent years. Maybe part of it is because people decide to copy a game for free rather than buy it, maybe it is bigger than that, but people don't really value art nowadays because they don't see it as art, but as content that they can mindlessly consume and get easy access to. It should be easier than ever for artists to earn money with how much art people consume, but the opposite is true. If artists have their intellectual property taken from them as well in the landscape we already have, then that will be the death of the art career. We have so little already. If we can't even keep domain over our own creation, then what is the point?
I don't understand your argument about public domain books. Public domain refers to the material no longer having a living creator who can profit from their own work. People can sell public domain books but that money goes to the publisher who probably did a lovely new edition of an old book with pretty covers.
I don't know what you mean. The money from a sale of a public domain book won't financially support the author.
If we talk about a living author who owns their IP and their book is available in the library, then I still say the same thing I did before, that the library doesn't sell the books, nor do they take ownership of the IP. The book market also has other problems than public libraries. The problems they face is that no one reads anymore, but that is a different discussion.
I think it is so so beautiful. Both the film and the book. It is one of the most beautiful and compassionate children's stories about death that I have ever known. As a kid, it sure did comfort me to think that if something were to happen to me or my family members, we would meet again in Nangijala.
I think one of the most heartbreaking things I ever saw in a graveyard was a gravestone for an infant that said "Vi ses i Nangijala".
I also recently discovered a radioplay on youtube based on Astrid's book and I listened to all of it and even though I'm not fluent in Swedish at all, I fucking loved every second of it. The voice acting, the music and the sound effects are absolutely stellar. If you haven't listened to it, I highly recommend it. I'm guessing you are Swedish yourself or at least able to understand Swedish!
Ja, nemlig! Det var også det jeg fandt ud af efterfølgende, at det ikke var normalt med så stor gruppe. XD
Dude, it wasn't until I was in my 20s that I realized that the last shot of the movie adaptation was a shot of their gravestone in the real world. Until then I had been so severely in denial about the implications of that, that I just didn't register it.
I'm telling you, I was bawling on the floor.
Absolutely. We will see a scenario where the big companies readjust to the new market while everybody else loses.
This reminds me of the mocking of unions that I witnessed happening a lot online a year or two ago and I was so fucking confused how normal everyday people who didn't own big companies could poopoo unions and call it commie shit.
In my country, we have a proud union history that has secured the rights of workers for generations so it was very bizarre to me to see - mostly Americans - mock unions as a concept.
Det er sgu forståeligt nok, egentlig. Det er svært at blive ved med at have det samme overskud og tiden er også knap når man bliver ældre. Det synes jeg i hvert fald og jeg fatter det stadig ikke nogle gange for det kommer bare snigende!
Jeg prøvede engang at være med i en DnD gruppe, men jeg havde ikke rigtig tålmodighed til det, så endte med at springe fra. Vi var så også 12 spillere eller sådan noget, så det hele kørte i snegletempo. Men har ladet mig fortælle at det er sjovt når det er grupper på fire-fem stykker. Det er egentlig også vildt så mange forskellige slags verdener der er i pen and paper spil.
Jeg fik lokket lidt folk over på Signal og resten skriver via SMS. Det er faktisk vildt hvad folk er villige til at gøre for at holde kontakten med en - fandt jeg ud af. For i mange år blev jeg selv på fb netop fordi jeg troede at ingen ville holde kontakten hvis jeg forlod messenger. Men det har vist sig ikke at være tilfældet.
Hvis folk vil dig, så vil de også rykke med dig videre.
