You would think so, but companies generally believe that they own the right to your full potential output - not just the tasks that they set you.
You don’t get kids from the asshole…
And depending on where you are the biological parents may be able to reclaim them at some point. My sister looked into it in my country and determined that they never really became your children, you were just taking care of them until they either grew up or their parents came back for them. I can’t imagine taking care of a child for years, treating it like your own, and then a stranger just coming and taking it back (and possibly taking it into a terrible environment).
All the adopted kids I grew up with were adopted from overseas and now I understand why.
My phone has been on DnD for over a year now. I have a (cheap) smart watch which vibrates on certain alerts like message, calendar, and phone and I can quickly glance and see that it’s something I don’t care about. I also ignore the calls from numbers not in my contacts if I notice them. In the time I’ve been doing this I don’t think a single person has left a message on my voicemail - validating my actions.
Depending on the jurisdiction, you never had those rights. In Australia anyone is free to take your picture in (or from) a public space. The only issue is when that photo is used to damage the subject - and that is done under defamation laws. In the US the photographer owns the rights to a photograph unless there are other contractual stipulations - even if you are the subject of the photograph.
The ones you had to wait for in the west were mRNA vaccines. They are newer, more complicated, and in theory customisable to a wider range of infections. While I’d love to see these opened up and used for their full potential I can see why the pharma corps don’t want that.
While I haven’t looked, I’ll bet that the Cuban ones were"simply" using a deactivated virus - which is less effective and especially less effective against mutated strains.
I really admire what Cuba has done in the last half century. They’re a fairly resource poor island nation who were cut off suddenly from the trading partner who accounted for 85% of their trade. While they’re constantly struggling financially, they have a huge rate of tertiary education, better female participation in the professional workforce than almost all nations, a decent happiness score and a now a better life expectancy than the richest nation in the world.
However, the creation of COVID vaccines was not difficult. COVID is not that dissimilar to a number of existing viruses which we already have vaccines for. The production of a simple vaccine is easy, but rounds of testing and approval take a long time. This is how come Cuba could create vaccines based on existing techniques with slight tweeks.
I personally only store things that are hard to get again. Things like obscure domestic TV and really old movies. If it’s something I can get again easily then I watch and delete.
I think I still have irc logs somewhere. I can probably safely delete them now.
I don’t think those are strictly correct. There’s no way Brisbane has 250k subscribers. The population of the city is only about 2 million and the channel isn’t that active.
Discord is pretty similar to IRC 25 years ago: just a constant stream of conversations and you’re SOOL if you miss anything.
Good thing you can’t do this on fedi platforms
I don’t use Xitter, what functionality does it have that’s not stupidly easy to implement? As far as I can tell the only thing that Xitter has is a userbase - and when they drive them away they’ll have nothing [but debt].
