  • This is the root of the problem with much of the discussion around male identity online.

    Women finally, and rightfully, gained a voice, and plenty of dudes listened. Many of them, not really understanding feminism as an academic discipline or having any real sympathy towards any aspect of being a man, used that voice to point of the many issues faced by women in the world and to fight for women.

    Where this falls apart is that because of the lack of real understanding regarding feminism and the concept of patriarchy, a lot of it boiled down to “shut up, the women are talking” and “we don’t care about your problems”

    None of this makes the problems away, none of this is really geared towards equality, and much of it is just switching the genders on deeply toxic patriarchal power structures that were used to oppress women for centuries.

    When you think about how stupid 90% of the people involved on both sides of this discourse online are, it’s of little surprise so many women went looking for easy answers from hucksters who pitched exploitation and oppression as empowerment.










  • Patents can’t be owned by companies. Only individuals. In the event of any patent being the result of a team effort each person responsible for its development is gets a proportion of profits from it.

    If person develops a patent while employed at a corporation that company owns a lease on the patent lasting 10 or 20 years or something .

    I’m sure there’s holes in this you can drive a truck through but high level I feel like there is something there.

    I also can’t be arsed to flesh it out further.

  • way back in the early oughts i was in a tech enjanced learning program - on paper it was a solid idea. Small class size with hands-on support from our schools more tech literate teachers.

    in practice we pretty much just tried to play quake 3 with each other withojt getting caught.

    our teacher was on a years long crusade to find the server hosting the quake 3 installer, as we had software that locked the hard drives so any changes would be undone when rebooted. to my knowledge he never did, and the entire drama around it was hollarious.
