Agreed.

You don't mind if I borrow your car do you?

And your house?

Let's not quibble about the particulars of me ever giving them back.

indeed, the first step (IMO) towards revising the notion is to recognize that physical (material, tangible) assets inherently work differently than digital assets.

As I understand so far the main reason to seek a revision of the concept of ownership is exactly due to the existence (enabled by internet technology) of digital assets.

copy-pasting is HOW computers work. copy-pasting does not do well in society ruled by the exclusivity-mindset inherent to marketplaces (and their societies) of tangible assets

People have a strange tendency to enjoy being rewarded for work they've done.

I suspect that the folks who invest hundreds of millions of dollars into production costs for a movie, rather enjoy the ability to recoup those costs by restricting access to only those who are willing to pay for the privilege.

but what about people getting paid for the invested money of movies made by their ancestors, dead over 50 years ago (and up to more than 100 years ago, whatever is the current copyright term for movies)

do they have a right to enjoy being rewarded for work they didn't do but their ancestors did?

if the intention of those laws was to encourage creativity, how come they're stiffing it more than encouraging without any signs of any government trying to correct the laws to better match their purported intentions?

considering that information is something static (which doesn't change) that describes (is about) how something else is changing

I think that indeed, it is the inherent nature of information to radiate itself, i.e. to share (to shine, to spread)

or abolition

but to do that without any reasonable social support nets is absurd

but what does it mean to destroy the concept of ownership (i.e. the notion of property)

if we take that

> The only way to truly own something, is to either share it or destroy it.

could I argue that then, we would be taking ownership of the concept of ownership??

ahahha... I think this is kind of funny. And I'd admit that it's not very helpful to the goal of revising the very concept of ownership.

my own parent comment is already controversial with many replies and exactly 0 points (at the time of this response)

ownership is a concept in dire need of revision

My parents' generation (in the UK) were physically beaten as children. It was a normal part of parenting and part of school.

My hope is that one day we will consider this emotionally abusive behaviour as seriously as we we now look at physical abuse. Though I don't hold out much hope. Especially as there are still some people holding out for the right to hit their children even now.

well yea, because your parents were essentially slaves, the property of higher elite classes. I'm pointing to the class relationship, nothing specific to your parents.

I wonder if such practices were used in schools reserved for royalty and other nobles in the UK

Do you think that this is because they don't really need to anymore with all the nice GUI/tools around? Is there an advantage to bring able to do something on a command line vs other ways?

Asking because I'm at a bit of a crossroads - I have a good handle on about 5% of the command line knowledge which gets me through 80% of the stuff I need to do. I'm wondering if learning to use more commands is worth the effort when I can already get the task done without using the command line?

depends on how close you wanna get to the servers, and then the hardware?

I suppose it's a super rare occurrence now, but back when I was starting on this, I would mess up my X server and was forced to fix it from the command line.

some rando... who is shadowbanned (or should?). I am reasonably certain. yes... I'm shadow banned; reddit does it. hacker news too? noooo!

I guess nobody has any special right to be heard (yet, shadow-banning is a toxic practice).
