It's about proving who was the original creator/user of the IP, instead of who is the first to file to have that IP protected.

The flipside of this would be having random holding companies just mass filing for ownership of everything posted online, said, written-down, or created, in the hopes that they get approved first so they can sue others, even the creators, for using it.

Look at the "very demure, very mindful" woman, Jools Lebron. Someone else (Jefferson Bates) file to trademark the saying because the original creator didn't think to until after it was viral. Because the laws are ultimately about proving who was the creator, and not who filed first in the USA, it's likely that Jools will get ownership, eventually.

shows that aren’t stupid gimmicks.

I don't own a tv, but what are the gimmick-based shows? Schitt's Creek, Baroness von Sketch Show, and Kim's Convenience are recent(ish) CBC shows that did very well.

That might be the same person, just at work vs at home.

I think the main point of federation is being able to see something from Lemmy.zip with an account on Lemmy.ca. So if one service goes down, or a there is a difference of opinion on what the rules should be, the whole platform of "Lemmy" doesn't go up in flames.

This prevents one person or group from controlling everything.

The grumpy answer: Don't mix and match across platforms.

They are very different platforms that serve very different purposes, and they have very different layouts. Viewing things from different instances using the same service works quite well, but even when cross-platform things work, it's not a great experience.

If you want to see stuff on Mastodon server, use a Mastodon account. If you want to see something on Pixelfed, use a pixelfed account, if you want to see stuff on Lemmy, use a Lemmy account.

She's pro oil and gas, and hates trans people.

That's how.

I have not though about the time cube in years, looks like the site is gone now.

I agree that it doesn't look real.

It seems like it's on the skin, and not in the skin.

North Star Figures makes figures for Osprey games, like Frostgrave.

Both are from the UK.

I would like to remind you that we didn't provoke Russia into bombing Georgia, or invading Ukraine.

Fuck fossil fuels, but fuck the narrative that the Russian government isn't fully culpable for their acts of war and invasions.

People are often rewarded with power or money for doing/saying shitty things.
If you are rewarded for something, you are likely to continue the pattern.

Depends on the model. People are mostly attacking cybertrucks in the wild.

If it's cybertruck, the owner knew, or chose not to know.
