Sometimes a camera just needs a sock.

The Flock Sock is a slip on cover designed to help protect a Flock camera from the harmful radiation of the sun. Your city spent their very own hard earned tax dollars scattering these cameras everywhere to keep you safe, all it cost you was a little privacy. The very least you can do is help protect these valuable civil servants from getting a bad sunburn.

    No, spoken like someone who has copyleft all my work, both hardware and software.

    Fuck AI. And fuck copyright laws.

    AI bros want to steal other people’s work and then copyright the output, and still sue others.

    I’m saying you can’t steal other people’s ideas a and nobody should have the right to copyright anything. We are not the same.

      You seem to be confusing copyleft with public domain.

      They are not the same.

      Copyleft licenses entirely rely on copyright law. In the words of the people who invented copyleft:

      Copyleft is a way of using the copyright on the program. It doesn’t mean abandoning the copyright; in fact, doing so would make copyleft impossible. The “left” in “copyleft” is not a reference to the verb “to leave”—only to the direction which is the mirror image of “right.”

      Public domain, OTOH, which is what you seem to be promoting, is a gift to AI tech bros, who want to behave as the middlemen described in the same article:

      [IP] in the public domain, uncopyrighted … allows people to share [it], if they are so minded. But it also allows uncooperative people to convert [it] into proprietary [IP]. They can make changes, many or few, and distribute the result as a proprietary product. People who receive the [latter] do not have the freedom that the original author gave them; the middleman has stripped it away.

        I’m not confusing it. I’m aware if it.

        We built what we have within the framework of laws made for the purposes of capitalistic domination.

        Ideally we’d eliminate copyright law and replace it with copyleft law. As of now, no copyleft laws exist

          Fair enough, but it would still regulate what people can legally do with creative works. So, it would still be IP law - which a few comments ago you implied couldn’t/shouldn’t exist.
