    Do you spend a lot of time arguing with people over it?

    Allot more than I wish, I really try not to. Even today, I keep asking people to not rehash it, and lets just talk about the topic my comment was posted in. But for some strange reason people just won't let it go, and push to talk about it.

      I don't have a list of specific instances on hand. But he was kind of a contrarian voice for a while that I listened to over a decade ago, but in 2016 went in the more anti-woke (anti-CRT in terms of the time) and very reactionary culture war turn.

        Thanks, appreciate the support!

        It's amazing how bent out of shape some people get about this, both currently, as well as about tenish months ago when I last was on Lemmy (check out my comment history from that time period if you really want to get annoyed).

        I got to imagine that its people who want to farm the comments for their LLMs training, that are trying to prevent the popular usage of people licensing their content.

        And I'm assuming just having "all content licesed under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0" in your bio wouldn't work?

          I'm not sure if I understand your question.

          I believe it does work. Or at least it should, and I shouldn't give up my right to license my own content just because enforcement of laws is lax.

              I don't think just thanking someone is real content. /shrug

              But answering someone who thinks they are being funny or annoying, by explaining things to them, would be considered content by me.

                I remember a podcast I used to listen to a long time ago that argued that MS should just make a fork of the Linux kernel and just make the gui work like Windows. Better security and stability, and huge increase in user base with all the normal Linux users seeing it as viable alternative. I thought it was a brilliant idea. Well except Microsoft would likely have figured a way to kill Linux from the inside.

                          That is the literal opposite of what the world needs.

                          Windows isn't a bad OS from a purely technical perspective. If Windows were released as FOSS, I would switch to Windows without hesitation.

                            He's an anti-woke crusader and bigot. A large chunk (probably most) of his "content" is actually about that.

                            ::: spoiler CW all sorts of bigotry
                            "Best Alternatives to Woke Software", "Devuan: The Non-Woke Debian Linux Fork", lots of shit like that.

                            He loves talking about so-called "reverse racism", he thinks white people are oppressed in US tech.

                            Here's a recent one:

                            https://lunduke.substack.com/p/meta-ending-del-ending-fact-checking

                            They [Meta] are allowing criticism of LGTBQ+blublublub issues, including *snicker* the statement that gay people are mentally ill [...] and they're allowing vaccine skepticism on the platform [...] and it is, I'm not gonna lie, mildly hilarious.
                            :::

                              The reason why this might work on Lemmy but not on corporate Social media is that corporate social media often have terms of service that require you to give them ownership/rights/etc. Lemmy has no such ToC.

                              Actually, safe harbor laws would encompass social media sites as well, so it would work there as well.

                              Either corporations own the content you post and are responsible for it, or they just host your content you post that you own and are immune from harm for the content. The law is currently the latter, and not the former.

                              I don’t think the ToS approach would be invalidated here via your Safe Harbor fork theory.

                              The ToS could state something like “you give us a worldwide perpetual right to use your content in any way we want including granting this right to whom we designate”

                              You still own your content but by having an account you agree to the ToS that lets them do what they want.

                              They just host it and are safe.
