Disagree, without IP laws whoever has the most money can crush all competition. An example of this is how the first pump hand soap softsoap couldn't patent the hand pump design because it already existed so they just bought all the existing stock to prevent anyone from releasing a competing product.

If you get rid of IP laws you'll just further entrench the existing winners.

Write a good book? Without copyright, Penguin random house publishes an exact copy at a higher quality and sells a million copies while you sell a handful to discerning fans.

Build a quality product? Without trademark, proctor and gamble flood the market using your brand name and nobody can distinguish their products from yours even though their quality is much worse.

Invent something revolutionary? Without patents you have to keep your process a secret so you don't get copied. If you get hit by a bus your invention is now lost to society forever unless someone manages to reverse-engineee it.

Not before abolishing capitalism or you're just making things worse.

Well TIL.

profound misunderstanding of how surround sound worked

You got me, I didn't know anyone who even owned a surround sound setup in the gamecube era.

~~That came out on GameCube back when we were all still using composite cables that didn't support surround anyway.~~

Edit: Apparently I was misinformed, still KAR was such a casual arcadey game that I'm sure it got more benefit out of quick startup than it would have from surround support.

Are you sure you didn't get the concentrate?

Voidtools "Everything" is how we mimic a fraction of your power thank-you-very-much.

It will be funny when all the LLMs start posting it in their responses at least.

The leak didn't include phone numbers or emails but I'm sure there will be attempts at spear phishing businesses since they can figure out the business name from the physical address.

The Haunted Mansion was decent, it made me want to see LaKeith Stanfield star in more fun adventure movies (something like Brendan Frasier's The Mummy).

Wish was a mess, it felt like they wanted to make a Disney multiverse movie but chickened out and just made a bland Disney movie that constantly references better Disney movies (mostly Snow White to the point where you wonder if Wish is intended to be its prequel). A couple songs were decent but the bulk them felt unpolished and forgettable, like they needed a few more edits and re-writes to come together. The anti-establishment themes were weak and made me wish I were re-watching Nimona instead.

The Marvels was good as a Ms. Marvel TV special but not as a Captain Marvel blockbuster.
