  • Japanese game developers face ridiculously high font license fees following US acquisition of major domestic provider. Live-service games to take the biggest blow

    Jump

  • I very much don't want some corporation to be able to just take a 9 year old's drawing and slap it on their game because someone thought it wasn't artsy enough to be awarded protection.

    Yours is a completely fair statement to which I have no objections.

  • That is artwork inspired by the letter "E", representing the letter E plus additional elements. It's not correct to say that it is the letter E.

    Now open a word processor, choose a font, hold your Shift key and tap the E key. What you'll see on your screen is not "inspired by" the letter E nor does it represent the letter E. It IS the letter E. Therein lies the difference.

  • I made exactly zero references to effort. Nice strawman. Yes, I'm sure some fonts take decades of hard, grueling effort to make. Just like I'm sure the nine-year-old's green Sonic took him a lot of effort too. And no, I'm not implicitly saying it's about talent either, before you accuse me of that.

    Letters belong to humanity. Licensing your version of them because it is "unique" is bullshit because everyone's writing is unique. Gatekeeping text presentation for money is so dystopic I have a hard time understanding how you support it, though I do admit your arguments seem to make a lot of sense if we ignore the fact that we're basically discussing a copyright on how to write.

  • OpenAI says teen violated TOS using ChatGPT to plan his suicide - Dexerto

    Jump

  • So if a teen shoots up a school even though the gun manufacturor says not to shoot up schools, suddenly we don't have a gun control problem but a teens don't read the TOS problem.

    Yeah, that sounds right for the USA.

  • It's debatably artwork. Every single person has their own handwritten "font" - more than one if you write cursive and block letters. A font doesn't have a message or a meaning, it is just a means for conveying information through text. I'm sure you can produce several examples of specific fonts that qualify as "artwork" (though it's just a numbers game since there are literally hundreds of thousands of different fonts on the web, if not more) but that doesn't prove that every font is automatically "artwork".

    We could also make the claim that every drawing is an artwork depending on how we define the word, but that doesn't mean that every nine-year-old who draws an "original character" that's just a green Sonic the Hedgehog should be able to use the legal system to bully other people because he's an "artist".

  • "Font" and "licensing" are not words that belong together.

    "Oh, I took the alphabet and made it slightly different - you know, like every single person who ever learned how to write - only I did it on a computer so now you have to pay me forever if you want your computer to write like mine does".

We already produce more food than humanity needs, we just waste a huge amount of it. Moving production around and creating new transporrt routes are not ongoing costs.

  • Why Reddit people are so toxic?

    Jump

  • There are a lot of great communities on Reddit still. Lemmy users are a self-selected bunch, and one of the things we self-select for is intolerance to the toxicity common on mainstream social media platforms, including Reddit. So we're safe from a lot of the problems that larger subreddits have to deal with. But there are some excellent niche communities there that would fit in very nicely with the Fediverse.

  • Why Reddit people are so toxic?

    Jump

  • I said something wrong about anarchism once here on Lemmy and an extremely friendly user took quite a lot of time to help me educate myself, clarifying my mistake, recommending reading material and engaging me in frank and friendly conversation about the topic.

    On Reddit, I'd either have been upvoted to the sky by people as ignorant as me (or more) or get called a bunch of slurs and told to go fuck myself.
