You Should Know
YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.
If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

But also
So if you really do have a society changing invention - one that could upset this capitalist or neoliberal world order - it is your duty to publically release it and not patent it
They'll suppress it unless they can make money off it like crypto or "AI".
Bitcoin was publicly released with full code and no pre-mining. It could not be patented for this reason.
The original creator is still unknown and has never moved their coins.
This strategy is the way.
Yo.
Thanks for curing me of my ignorance, i had no idea. I'm going to have to read more about this! I always thought crypto was cool in theory, unfortunate the state of its practice.
I'm kind of on the same page as you, as a concept it's really cool but all the hype and techbros around it are a huge turn off.
I suspect the “threatens economic stability” is stuff like printers that can produce dollars and the type of paper/thread/plastic material that makes up modern currency. I think people are looking for a conspiracy here when it’s just a logical choice. Some things people shouldn’t have a playbook on how to create.
The US government fought encryption beyond the millenium. Pretty much still is as it gains backdoors everywhere.
This is the plot of The Saint and now I have to watch it again.
Yes that was a really good deed by Dieter Von Cunth.
In which case some rich cunt will patent it and nuke the internet of its details
No.
Worst kind of poster, sees a ratioed a comment jumps in for an easy jab. If I'm wrong so be it but you added less than anyone to this thread. You could have corrected me but nothing was easier.
It's your burden to show when things like that happened. You just said a vague sentence while acting like you're adding to the conversation.
You weren't.
Two wrongs make a right is a very solid footing for an argument.
Strawmaning is dumb.
I said you should show when something like that happened. Or shut up.
Except that isnt what you said, you said No. Its not strawmaning, I am not defending my point I'm criticising your role in this as useless. My comment and your comment being the two wrongs.
Again: coming to the conversation with a baseless accusation is not helpful, unless supported by any evidence.
It does not deserve anything other than "No.".
It wasn't an accusation, it was a hyperbolic comment on the state of copyright law and corporate shenanigans in a deregulated free market late stage capitalism environment.
It wasnt deserving of more because you dont seem to be capable of more, you just followed the downvotes and cant justify why.
It's like you don't know how public domain, or the internet, works.
Well the internet is not public domain and information being public does not stop it from being patented.
So its clear you dont have a clue, like was clear from your first comment.
That is not how the internet works
Sure its not, I am delghted for you that you can still see the fappening nudes but if you think for a second that US hosting companies will be allowed to host content that has been flagged under this procedure you ae dreaming.
Its not conspiritorial to recognise things can be made very difficuly to find on the public facing web.
Thats like saying you can't sell drugs inside the police commissioners office. Yeah, everyone understands that, doofus. Nobody that wants to release information that a nation state level actor wants suppressed is going to do it within their borders.
This is intentionally obtuse, how is something going to gain traction without being hosted on services that are answerable to the US before someone else were to patent it and start the process.
Tell people down the pub and upload it to what? Pirate bay? Tiktok?
It would be incredibly difficult, the law is ripe for abuse.
Good luck scrubbing anything off the internet with even a little social momentum. If people think its good enough to share, then it's never fully getting scrubbed.
Do you think there would be significant momentum behind someone posting what amounts to detailed patenting information?
Presumably someone without a following that absolutely no one that runs any of the social momentum sites would want someone else to have?
Tough to get a valid patent when the prior works were published publicly before you ever applied for it...
