Rossman has major right-libertarian incel vibes plus anyone hanging out on Odysee is way too comfortable endorsing a Nazi bar tbh

stop doing free marketing for Nazis

yeah, you use cemu to play

the multiplayer mod for BOTW

most musicians are starving rn because of IP law and label monopolies on the industry. expecting this system to feed their bellies is the textbook definition of an idolized world

if I started selling merch with their brand on my website, none of that money would go to the band or pay their bills.

how does IP law stop that though? most art theft is done by large media conglomerates. it’s similar to worrying about petty theft when most theft is caused by employers stealing wages. the only way to enforce your property is to have a better lawyer than the media conglomerates violating your copyright, or to get lucky with a judge that can sympathize with your plight.

However, as long as we continue to love in a world where basic necessities and dignity are not guaranteed, there needs to be something that allows those creators to protect their income from leaving, and publishing to the public domain does not accomplish this.

you’re right, and I didn’t mean to imply that making your work public would solve the issue of capitalist exploitation of artists. the way to solve it is to unionize, build mutual aid societies for your fans to donate to you, build more food banks, join a tenant’s union, making housing free or decriminalizing squatting. things like giving people a universal living standard instead of making them rely on money and predatory systems to survive

most musicians don’t pay rent with IP actually. they do it by going on tours and selling merch at said events. they could keep selling their merch even if they made the designs public domain

that label exists already, it’s called BitTorrent. no need to go on the dark web. there are artists who “leak” their own music on there either for revenge against their label or because they don’t wanna exclude their poor fans from enjoying the art

you just described the same exact reason why I’m on signal. it’s friendly to normies and most other options aren’t even though they should be

after looking further into it, he might’ve also been involved in the MobileCoin pump and dump

Moxie works for MobileCoin and implemented a crypto wallet for it inside of Signal which could be an attempt to sneakily monetize the Signal userbase

sure, proving to the audience that you can kick yourself in the nuts over and over while maintaining the privacy of your testicle’s innards is impressive from a biological standpoint but it still looks stupid to a normal person. I don’t hate signal, I will continue using it but this and their crypto scam makes me doubt some of their choices and how they’ll operate in the future

why I mention prepping and mutual aid strategies is because you can’t pay for daily living expenses if there are no jobs and food becomes unaffordable. in 2008 millions of people became homeless so we need to learn from them how they survived

Signal is definitely part of the fun internet, they just decided to rely on AWS due to techbro culture I assume?

our infrastructure is heavily reliant on Microsoft, Amazon and Google hosting services, all of which could go down during their financial turmoil due to their AI obsession

I beg everyone if you swap currencies on fintech apps, open a real bank account with a normal bank. Revolut can arbitrarily withhold your money at any time unless you can afford a good lawyer to get it back

as someone from the EU, that’s a dumb idea. the AI bubble will also pop here and we all know how well the EU handled the Greek financial crisis

invest into real world assets instead of stocks. think of the infrastructure you’ll need once everything stops working. food pantries, solar panels, ham radio, water purification, community self-defense, etc. basically solarpunk

microwaves don’t work as faraday cages

it definitely didn’t work that way for Black boomers
