@marauder @chaosexanima but I do agree with everything you want, we just need to understand what fedi is and not is, and sadly it is not any more private then Twitter.

@ephemeromorph I like how they person wrote "You guys are getting paid for this?" 🤣

I like how the election ended up being about climate change but I wonder how the government could withstand the force from the fossil fuel giants and News Corp?

@maia make sure it's a multinational corporation so you don't pay tax and located in a country without extradition to your target countries.

Imagine #libraries don't exist, but there's this person who thought of them and is trying to convince everyone else about them.

-Borrow books for free? People are going to steal them!
-You can just come in to use a computer? Well that's just going to be abused by freeloaders.
-Staff? Who is going to pay them? Why should my taxes be wasted subsidising access to books for people who haven't saved and bought their own?

How many amazing things do we dismiss? What is our society missing out on?

@weirdwriter@writeout.ink yeah, some cases would be, kill the author so you can use their works, or like the author of Wheel of Time, he didn't finish the series before he passed and now Amazon is making a TV series based off it.
The authors family could inherent money or businesses but not their creative works.

@weirdwriter@writeout.ink interesting, I never thought of it that way. What about copyright after death?
It could be X years after creation or the life of the author/s, which ever is longer. That way corporations can have X years of copyright.
At the moment I think its 70 years after death.

@georift if it's for a chain and it's their own website and I think it's okay. Just as @barefootstache said for sites you don't know, add a note like fix me please physically check.

@georift how is copying the business details off the menu or window different to a website?

Please boost for visibility: Global Accessibility Awareness day (#GAAD) is on May 19th. I’d like everyone that can to turn off your monitor, or close the laptop lid and connect a keyboard, or close your eyes, and turn on your OS screen reader, and use your computer with it. How does it make you feel? Do you know enough keyboard commands? Does it give you enough info? Does it make you enjoy using the computer? Do you feel productive? Why or why not? #a11y #screenreader #blind
