IP is simply a state backed monopoly privilege. This obviously leads to a slowing of innovation and price rises due to lack of (by force) competition. IP is unethical and doesn’t even accomplish what it sets out to do. You don’t need government promises of monopoly rights to create innovation in the marketplace, competition drives innovation.

It automatically flips the entangled bit on the other end, all that “spooky action at a distance” bidness. Why do the need to “send” entangled photons?
C126@sh.itjust.worksto Enshittification@lemmy.world•So like, the complete opposite of what we need?11·5 months agoThe tarriffs bit is completely speculative. No one vnows that yet, and its not in the 2025 gop budget proposal. Federal income tax increases for middle and lower income americans are absolutely not being proposed. At the least this infographic is misleading.
C126@sh.itjust.worksto Enshittification@lemmy.world•So like, the complete opposite of what we need?16·5 months agoLets put this another way: where does it say low and middle income taxes are increasing? It doesn’t, therefore op is spreading misinformation.

C126@sh.itjust.worksto Enshittification@lemmy.world•So like, the complete opposite of what we need?112·5 months agoNobody making less than 200k will see an increase in their federal taxes. In fact if the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act didnt get extended, you’d be far more likely to see an increase.

C126@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does the US really have no instruments in case a newly elected president immediatelly and openly exposes he's a nazi?47·6 months agoCapitalism is defederating power, otherwise youll end up centralizing power and end up under some form of authoritarianism. We have all these elites because of privaleges granted by the state, not capitalism. We need less state if we want more equality.

So true. IP only helps the corps and slows tech development. Contracts, ndas, and trade secrets are all you really need to keep your ideas safe. If you want your country to develop fast, get rid of any IP laws.
Don’t forget with a signicant pay bump

He was handed the reign and therfore deserved death is the general tone here. Seems unjust and evil to me. I wouldn’t wish murder on anyone, worrying so many seem to disagree.
