It seems that it's not enough to simply provide links to the #book The End of #Ownership: Personal Property in the #Digital #Economy by Aaron Perzanowski & Jason Schultz. People don't know how to read books anymore! So I will now publish fragments from this book. Let’s begin with, #EULA is a scam:

In terms of expressions and programmatic logic, it’s similar to what we do in AE, but the experience is different. In AE it feels like a bunch of kludges, because that’s exactly what it is — kludges elevated to the status of an industry standard. Here, on the other hand, it’s part of the philosophy.

It's wild how underrated the freedom #Sublime Text gives. Need the editor to do X thing? Toss together ~80 lines of pure #Python and it just does X thing. No compiling Rust extensions, no Node.js plugins, no reloads — write it and it works.

cavalry.studio/en/ Holy Molly, #Canva bought #Cavalry and made it free, just like they did with #Affinity. It used to run $200/y, and for all its flaws, that was still way cheaper than After Effects — which is honestly overkill for anything outside high-end video production.

Still, I'm gonna have to mess around with it. From what the AI laid out for me, it sounds like the perfect tool for knocking out animation work for web marketing in a single evening — and you can even integrate it natively into your site by exporting to Lottie.

Meanwhile, #books in #Russia:

Banned Books Week starts today! This year’s theme is: #LetBooksBe What do you think books should be? Share your answer in the comments: ✨ Let Books Be Free 🎉 Let Books Be Fun 🌎 Let Books Be Diverse 💡 Let Books Be Thought-Provoking ❤️ Let Books Be Themselves

The migration to #EnvKit just in line with dropping Node.JS dependency. Honestly, keeping around 1.5GB of modules just to build CSS and JavaScript during development, when prod runs on PHP — doesn't make much sense.😄 'Processes' handles this elegantly for each app.

I've said it before: the constant strikes on Moscow's infrastructure will eventually lead to trains covered in graffiti and trash littering the streets. And well, it's happening. The 'broken windows' theory in action — when there's no order anywhere and the gov is getting weaker.

It seems to me that MIT will soon block my account if I post more than 5% of the fragments from The End of Ownership.🤣 But there are just so many examples and ideas, and human stupidity is limitless, before you have time to refute one, another already emerges.

Again I see this mindset "X corp. just protect their IPs from you, 'f***ing scalpers'" Reselling used personal property is a longstanding legal right of ownership, not "scalping." It has nothing to do with protecting "IPs". Every company strives to take as many users hostage as possible.

What often gets overlooked in these discussions about physical copies is that the government also benefits from such kind of digital distribution, because it allows them to censor information quickly by dealing only with a platform that has full control over access to it.

Just another day, just another reason to share the fragment from the #book The End of Ownership: Personal #Property in the #Digital #Economy. Some users blame buyers who don't read the #agreements. But these examples show that no agreements protect the user. This is all #scam. #PlayStation

Social Networks, Cryptocurrencies, and Autism — the greatest problems for any government today.😀

I think it's because Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are often less susceptible to propaganda, which poses a challenge for government control. In Russia, officials also spread misinformation and harmful stereotypes about ASD people, though no concrete actions have been taken yet.
