  • Element X, a European Alternative to Signal/WhatSapp

    Jump

  • I really wanted it to use as an alternative for WhatsApp for our family. However, I'm the "tech guy" in the family and really struggled to get it to work for my wife and me. So, I didn't see how my family would be able to use it.

    Maybe I'll have to try it again. Or look into flufffluff or however it's called.

  • Has a patent office ever refused to grant patent for something on the grounds it was too obscene or fucked-up?

  • At least in Europe and Germany there is a rule that allows the parent office to reject such an application. However, I don't have any examples right now. Nevertheless, I know that dildos are patentable.

    Here is an except from Art. 53 of the European patent convention:

    European patents shall not be granted in respect of:

    (a) inventions the commercial exploitation of which would be contrary to "ordre public" or morality; such exploitation shall not be deemed to be so contrary merely because it is prohibited by law or regulation in some or all of the Contracting States

  • What do you have a low tolerance for?

  • Not being on time. Having enough going on, I don't want to waste my time waiting for someone.

  • That's it. Done with Amazon.

    Jump

  • Great. I did so as well. An alternative (also to eBay) is hood.de (https://www.hood.de/). At least for Germans. I recently placed my first order and it worked well (although the shipping time was longer).

  • Anyone interested in starting a cooperative business helping 🇪🇺 European companies and organizations migrate away from ⛓️‍💥 cloud platforms from USA?

  • I'm an aspiring patent lawyer but not trained in IT (although I learned coding just enough to understand some principles). Should you need any help regarding intellectual property rights, feel free to ask me anything. I'll do my best to help, as I support your cause! However, I won't be of much help otherwise as I'm currently learning for exams and have to small kids at home.
