Theft has a very specific definition, critically it requires the taking of something so that someone else is permenantly deprived of the thing. When something is cloned or copied its not theft, its all intellectual law driven so copyright and trademark breaches. No one is deprived of the product, only potentially the payment for a service.

World News@lemmy.world•‘They pushed so many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plasticsEnglish
11·2 days agoThe same ploy has been used for everything environmental and climate change based. Apparently you have a CO2 emission cost, you have a personal plastic and waste cost its all your consuming fault. No one seems to challenge the idea that if we don’t “consume” this plastic we die from lack of food since everything comes wrapped. Almost all production of waste products generally is done by companies for products they sell us, they are secondary emissions.
The most common ones where people actually produce the waste themselves are petrol/diesel cars, gas boilers/heating and stoves. But the bulk of production is all the choice of really very profitable businesses and asking them to change over the last 55 years has not worked.

World News@lemmy.world•Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested and in custody on suspicion of misconduct in public officeEnglish
6·2 days agoGot to have a couple of examples of the rich and powerful going away for their crimes so the plebs don’t realise how stacked against them the system really is.

Programming@programming.dev•Are there any examples of 'perfect' software?
41·6 days agoPretty certain cd and pwd have changed over the years. The kernel hasn’t remained the same so the commands that use it wont and now we have faster methods to do various things like getting file data the commands that depend on it will change. Less quickly than something that is still gaining features but bit rot is a very real effect since every single part of software is in constant flux.

1·6 days agoIt will definitely take in the order of millions of years to recover from what humans have done to destroy the habitat. The species will destroy will likely never return, the planet in a million years time will bear the scars of the Holocene extinction.

Technology@lemmy.world•Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has BegunEnglish
33·10 days agoAlas I don’t think the USA will have the political stability to ultimately allow the adoption of an alternative. There is zero point building something that also accommodates the USA right now as the new King is quite likely to ban it and waste all the time put into it. Even a treaty put in place wouldn’t stop this from happening, so frankly its not worth an EU or any other countries company anticipating doing anything with the USA for the foreseeable future.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted appsEnglish
7·23 days agoI reject a lot of apps that require a docker compose that contains a database and caching infrastructure etc. All I need is the process and they ought to use SQLite by default because my needs are not going to exceed its capabilities. A lot of these self hosted apps are being overbuilt and coming without defaults or poor defaults and causing a lot of extra work to deploy them.
Would be a nightmare to adminster as well, has so much less automation and tooling for deployment and updating of software. Even now the updating of apps on windows is a mess and the closest they have come is winget that centralises the entire thing through stores, completely useless for the corporate world. There is a reason Linux won on the server.
