  • That is solved with different degrees of copyright. If done right, the author's works will never stop being theirs, but people will be able to make fanfiction without fear of a bloodthirsty copyright lawyer biting at their necks. They'd just have to clearly indicate it's fanfic, and the original author could get a cut of any earnings past a threshold.

    Create a great work that inspires another great work; both authors benefit.

  • I would go even further, for any media.

    The moment a company ends access to a piece of media, it should almost automatically become public domain. With just a reasonable window of time to bring it back once inaccessible, just in case there are things like downtime, blackouts, or restructuring of services.

    Disney decides they will no longer let you rent the original Snow White for a local movie theater in your city, or take it out from their streaming services, or creates an alternate edited version with any significant alteration other than a disclaimer or warning at the start but removes access to the original, and no one else has the rights on lease that gives that access instead, boom, public domain. You no longer have to wait until 2032 to make an exploitative low-budget horror movie version of it.

    If they make a remaster of a game, they must keep access to the original. Sell only the remaster; the original becomes public domain for use, not the IP, within reason.Any associated proprietary technologies, like a physics engine, get a limited lease of use with no cost for the original as it was, excepting modifications to allow it to run on other devices and newer devices.So it wouldn't be all of it becomes public domain, but it becomes something usable and maintainable by the public domain.Remove access to the game and all versions and remasters, and the IP of that game goes fully public domain.

  • Prodigy was a series for kids that adults could watch. I like to think this is a series for teens and young adults that adults can watch.

  • Lemmy is arguably more Star Trek than Reddit. It only makes sense.

    Wait. Is there an LCARS lemmy frontend? We could really use that.

  • It's conservation. Archeology is digging up what was once lost.So finding a lost video game is archeology. Keeping it safe is conservation.Ensuring games can't be lost in the first place and that they continue to work in the future is preservation.

    All needed, but different things.

  • It's easier to understand in the context of the past when they had things like sacrificing a goat for stuff. It's just another form of ritual sacrifice.

  • Feminism isn't just about women.Toxic masculinity isn't caused just by men.Black Lives Matter isn't just about black lives."Believe women" isn't about blindly believing what women say. "Christian charity" is the least charitable thing in the world."Defund the police" and "abolish the police" aren't about eliminating police forces and letting crime run rampant.AI is anything but intelligent."Global Warming" sounds tame for what's actually happening: "climate disruption" and "climate catastrophe". A bunch of countries with "communist" or "democratic" in their names are anything but.

    Words are stupid. Slogans are lazy. People lie.

    Which is why I like the lyrics of 'Enjoy the Silence' so much.

  • A lot of people are seem to be fans of murder.

    Personally, I see it as a waste. I'm partial to creating a project to establish a mining colony in the asteroid belt, and sending them there, never to return.

  • Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken

    Jump

  • This is why I have always waited for the version that is just like the previous ones, but fixed. 3.11, 98SE, XP SP2, 7, 10...

    I need to get a new computer, and it has to have windows, but I'm not getting freaking Win11. Gimme Win12.

  • I have nothing against sex work, but this was not sex work; this was a goddan tragedy created by a bunch of monsters who created the current situation in which this can happen in the first place.

    Just one more reason why they want to keep you poor. So they can do shit like that. And worse.
