  • Microsoft promising to build infrastructure in the EU directly hurts American jobs. :-D lol Trumps Tarrifs that scared the world have responded by defending themselves, US companies boosting their economies by building there and then the US jobs will be needed less as the work they’re doing now witll be in the EU.

    Trumps Tarrifs have directly boosted the economies of others while directly hurting ours and it has absolutely nothing to do with the tangible goods that Trump cares about.

    Am I allowed to throw my hat in the ring? I’m definitely No expert and I’m constantly learning, but I have vods of my live streams, gaming and tech, and I’m running Fireside Fedi a show about talking with different folks around the Fediverse. Let me know if I can post the link. I don’t want to self promote of that’s not what folks are looking for here.

    Aldo I would say that we’re still very early in the Fediverse life cycle. Majority of these folks aren’t paid or are a shoestring budget and solo with tiny teams. So if we want to see this experiment survive we have to do more than what we’ve done in the past.

    Talk to content creators you enjoy. Let them know you’d like to see their content on the Fediverse. Especially if you’re a patreon member. Create content yourself. The Fediverse will succeed or fail based on our actions.

    The internet wasn’t born in a day and a LOT of projects failed, because everyone took the easy centralized way. This time we have to fight for it to remove their claws.









  • While I don’t know Japanese law, and folks are right in US law about prior art, I think everyone is missing the point.

    Companies like Nintendo don’t have to actually win. They probably created this patent as a throw away to force Pocketpair to waste money fighting it. It costs tons of money to hire an attorney, work through the process, etc. It takes YEARS.

    Nintendo probably wants to waste Pocketpair’s time and money OR they’re trying to get them to just settle and give Nintendo a cut of the profits.

    That’s how big tech works with tons of patents and how patent trolls keep leeching off society. I have a patent for a button, you have a phone you’re making. I say give me 1% of your profit. What’s 1% to you? You agree, we don’t go to court and the next person that does it I do the same thing, but now I show them how many people agreed and that person is scared and think I have a legit case.

    This shit is constantly happening in the background nonstop.

    Patent law, copyright law, they are fundamentally broken. But they won’t get fixed until something BIG happens.

    Nintendo is and always has been a bully. This is just another instance of it.
