  • Valve Corporation has applied for DEADLOCK trademark

  • What if the company openly said they weren't selling you actually Disney-approved stuff, but your friends don't have to know that?

  • wp:Mickey Mouse

    Although Mickey Mouse entered the public domain in 2024, the character, like all major Disney characters, remains trademarked. The trademark lasts in perpetuity, as long as it continues to be used commercially by its owner. So, whether or not a particular Disney cartoon goes into the public domain, the characters themselves may not be used as trademarks without authorization.

    ​

    The latter could constitute fraud, but instead let's say instead of a dude in his garage it was a company that made generics?

  • Why should I care if a Mickey Mouse T-shirt is Disney-approved?

  • If China gave them away for free, the Sinophobes would probably still complain.

  • The problem might not be so much the strength of the troops as much as their morale.

    AFAIK, Russian troop strength might have been good in February 1917.

  • Trump Pressures Republicans to Pass a Law to Keep Him Out of Jail Forever

  • GOP legislators better do what Trump wants if they know what's good for them.

    Come on, neo-cons, kneel down and kiss his ring.

  • Israel Threatens 'Severe Consequences' for Nations Who Recognize Palestine

  • True, but I wonder if the PCI of the 90% of Irish who are among the 95% richest and 95% poorest in Ireland is greater than 90% of those those in Israel proper who are among the 95% richest and 95% poorest in Israel proper.

  • The countries with the most Fediverse servers are rich and former/current colonial powers. One of the best true barometers of the success of the Fediverse is how quickly we can turn that on its head.

  • What I find quite annoying is how people created these monopolies.

    50 years ago, there were 3 (arguably 4) American car companies—still a de facto oligopoly, but 3 is better than 1. The Japanese and VW added to it.

    ​

    Today we essentially have one search portal, Google; one social network site, Facebook; one video-hosting site, YouTube; and one micro-blogging site, Twitter/X.

    If people spent perhaps 1/10th of their micro-blogging time on other sites, Twitter might not have been as attractive to Musk and his backers, but they chose ease over choice, and now they're wailing over what he's doing with it.

    I'm off-topic.

    I mostly agree with your statement. Maybe Amazon likes the internet, but probably most others in big business in the US don't: it might account a bit for the shitty websites of many of them.

  • Russia has about 3.5x the manpower, and IIUC, Ukraine might start using convicts. Maybe they might use some of that aid to increase pay and maybe get their own foreigners.

  • The leaders of countries such as the PRC, Modi's India, Putin's Russia, ans Iran might not like the idea of decentralization.

    Indeed, they might not like the internet itself.

  • Exclusive: Putin wants Ukraine ceasefire on current frontlines

    Jump

  • Yeah, but the thing is, Ukraine isn't ready to negotiate, and Biden will be President for at least another 7 months.

    Until then perhaps over 100 000 Russian and Ukrainian soldiers will die, thanks to Putin.

    This war isn't helping the demographics of either country.

  • Yes, when women allege that others have committed sexual violence, they're probably making it up.

    of course.
