I gotta be honest with you, at this point I don't even know what you're arguing for 😅

I didn't say he explained why this is the case in this video. I believe he may have talked about it elsewhere, but long-story short, European nation-states didn't want unified railroad systems because they were afraid their opponents will use them to invade them during war.

That's not true, he also takes down libertarian seasteaders, and dictator vanity projects just as much. Also, it's not his fault that trains are the superior form of transportation we know of.

❓

The video actually mentions why it's not quite possible yet, but it's slowly moving towards that direction. It's just that the EU train system is very FUBAR'd due to all the 20th century conflicts

It's as relevant as we make it in our discussion, no? You brought up the theoretical noble intentions of the copyrights, so I felt compelled to mention their actual results.

I only visit twitter when I run out of lemmy and mastodon and I'm still not sleepy enough but can't be arsed to read a book.

Now add one with the Autism circle as well.

The point is that these big companies have enough money to get permission from whoever they want, so we'll still end up with proprietary models destroying industries, but only the big corpos will be able to use this tech effectively and everyone else will have to beg. A future like the 70s where the only OS' and programming languages were proprietary, or the 90s where all the DBs were proprietary. A paradigm where a powerful tech (good or not) is only available to the rich or for rent, is never a good one.

Oh I didn't know it was a bot instance

Now it's time to learn about the !sneerclub@awful.systems which is made to make fun of the chuds taking ideas like roko's basilisk seriously :D
