Yeah, that was kinda my takeaway when I finally got decent info. The Nazi groups seem to be getting big enough to be legitimately problematic, but like you said, I can’t entirely blame Ukraine for focusing on bigger problems for now, especially when those factions are willing to help defend the country. It’s kind of a cursed bargain, but it’s not like they have better options right now.

Yeah, in a vacuum, sounds like a solid idea. Russia isn’t that friend, though.

I’ve been playing through this and collecting the RetroAchievements for it. I keep picking up my handheld for other games before deciding to tackle a few more puzzles instead. I’ll be both relieved and a little disappointed to finish it.

I’ve been called all sorts of names just for asking for real evidence instead of flimsy suggestive bullshit. It took SO much pressing to get anything at all on the Ukrainian Nazi line they love so much, and I got SO much hostility for it.

Lemmy.ml users in particular will defend fucking ANYTHING done in opposition to The West. Like they love to support Russia against Ukraine.

But what were talking about isn’t implemented a flawed system, it’s improving one that’s already flawed, and the result still wouldn’t be perfect but it’s better than what currently exists

Except this is something we disagree on. I do not agree that the massive extensions to copyright are anything other than deeply flawed.

And it doesn’t prevent passing even better laws further down the line, but I think you know that creating new more comprehensive survivor benefits that would cover everyone is a much harder sell than a comparatively small tweak to copyright laws.

“But it’d be hard to do it right, let’s just bandaid it with more flaws.”

And if we remove those copyright benefits before those new systems are ready, you’re leaving people in the lurch without any safety net until those new systems can be created (if in fact they ever are)

I could maybe, maaaaybe, agree to a big shift with a grandfather clause. Anything already published would then get the old rules, and anything new would get the new, much less restrictive rules. I’d still rather just fix it properly, though.

Just because the system is flawed doesn’t mean we should implement even more flaws in the system to cover some of the old ones. If providing for retirement and a family that survives the early death of their provider are your priorities, let’s work out systems to ensure everyone gets the support we can both agree should be provided. Depending on inherited IP rights and depending on an employer to contribute to retirement are both deeply flawed plans, and we’d be better off doing something like eliminating the cap on social security taxes so we can make sure everyone’s retirement is covered and that survivor benefits are sufficient.

My guy, what do you think the state of benefits in the US is? Most people would consider themselves lucky to get a 401k match from their employer. So in effect, the artist gets more to leave behind than most Americans.

Even that’s kinda ridiculous. Why are we inhibiting everyone so your child can profit off something they never touched and that you finished 50 years ago? You had the rest of your damn life to figure out how to profit off it.

From what I’ve heard, evidence has come out that suggests she might not have done it after all. Starting to look like there’s a chance the husband did it and set her up to take the fall.

Nobody you would call “Tankie” actually apologizes Russia or their invasion. At least I haven’t seen one yet.

So like do you never read .ml posts on this stuff, or do you just do your best to ignore the comments you disagree with?
