If I wrote a book about Bean Man the super hero, than I should maintain all rights to the concept of Bean Man and the related "characters/world" until I die or put it under public domain. The rights can be inherited by 1 generation, but they have 10 years to do something relevant with it or it falls into public domain. Also if the IP sits unused for 20 years, clear derivatives can be made so long as it's clear the original creator was not involved.

However, the actual product, the books I write fall into a different category. After 30 years or, 1 year unavailable to legally purchase by an average person*, the books become free to share under a creative common license that does not allow for derivatives, or profit. In other words, the book it self becomes free for everyone but someone can't take the IP and make a new "Bean Man" story (unless the copyright is no longer in effect).

* if I try some shit like sell it cash only on the 31st of February or charge a absurd price, all of my past and future works will be put into public domain as a "fuck you for being piece of shit".

    I thinks there's a bit much doom and gloom right now.

    If new pixels don't support GrapheneOS that will suck.

    If Motorola comes thru with GrapheneOS support next year, we will be back to where we are now. 1 manufacture, but at least it won't be google anymore. Yes, its only on their flagship, but hardware trickles down within a few years. I'd be surprised if the whole 2030 line up isn't supported (assuming they don't drop the ball).

    In my option, if anyone has an older phone, they should consider getting a new or used 9 or 10 to get through the next few years, while we wait and see what happens.

    If some random guy had a 24/7 mic, camera, and GPS access to my daughter, it'd be obligated to go shoot him. Why should a company be treated any different?

    Another reason I give, that's less "boogyman gonna get your kids", is we close our windows when talking about money so the neighbors don't here us. Not because we're doing something bad, but because its none of their business. That's what privacy is.

    They might allow the browser's built in manager. Good chance if they're a Microsoft shill, edge's built in would be better than nothing....although it's Microsoft so a text file might be better.

    IT probably bans them because they can't access the data. Keepass files are some kind of container, you can store any file with in it. Great when you want save a txt doc with 2fa recovery codes or something and also not a bad way to send a payload that's impossible to scan. "I'm going on vacation, please use this keypass file for vendor XYZ, open the file within for the vendors contact info".

    ArticleAnother Leak: ‘Avatar: Aang: The Last Airbender’ Surfaces Online Months Before Paramount+ Debut By Jamie Lang | 04/13/2026 1:17 pm |

    A major leak of footage from Avatar: Aang, The Last Airbender is making the rounds online, and it’s hard to see this as anything but damaging for everyone involved.

    Over the weekend, clips and now reportedly the full film surfaced online months ahead of its planned Paramount+ debut. The movie, directed by Lauren Montgomery, was initially meant to get a theatrical run, but late last year it was pulled and redirected straight to Paramount+.

    The material shared over the weekend reportedly includes key story moments and unfinished animation, although some say the full film is now online, with reports suggesting the leak may have originated from an internal error or security breach tied to Nickelodeon. One Twitter user claimed they were accidentally sent the full film in an email from Nickelodeon. That seems exceedingly unlikely, but it raises questions about how the film could have gotten out.

    The leak is a major blow to an already unsettled studio. Since being purchased by Skydance, Paramount and its subsidiary Nickelodeon have been subject to massive layoffs; their long-time and well-respected head of animation, Ramsey Naito, left the company; and just last week, it was revealed that Nickelodeon Animation Studios would be folded more tightly into CBS Studios.

    It’s concerning yet entirely unsurprising how normalized this kind of thing has become. Another Avatar film, James Cameron’s in this case, leaked in 2023, alongside The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The difference in those cases is that the films being leaked were already released in theaters. This time, a film months away from release has now been spoiled by a few bad actors.

    High-profile leaks aren’t just spoilers, either. They disrupt the economic and creative ecosystem that keeps these kinds of projects getting made. When unfinished work circulates widely, it diminishes both the artistry and the labor behind it, and can cause serious issues for future titles.

    The upcoming avatar movie leaked, it sounds like the script, screenshots and possibly the entire movie is circulating.

    Also for some reason (before the leak) Paramount decided the movie wouldn't get a theatrical release. Who ever is making the decisions out there is not setting it up for success.

    Anyway, if you can watch the movie from an official source, please do so their numbers reflect as many people as possible.

    spoilerThere is no movie in Ba Sing Se

     

    Basically looking a calandar that stays on the deaktop, and can show events (Otherwise I'd just use a wallpaper). I don't need much interaction with it, if any, essentially just open the actaul calandar program. Sync with iCal is a big plus.

    While FOSS is ideal, I'm open to anything free (that can be firewalled or is actually private (unlikely, I know))

    I found one that used windows 7 widgets, but it was too small and didn't seem to work right anyways.

    Android Tablets (lemmy.world)

    Does anyone have good experience with android tablets, and possibly replacing the OS? I see some interesting options from Google, lenovo, one plus, etc... I imagine the pixel one will be the easiest to load a new OS to, but I also wonder about the tablet support of things like lineage or graphine.

    The hardware doesn't have to be groundbreaking, just good enough to be my "travel laptop" for movies, comics and general interneting. I don't want a laptop, as I often like to sit in chair/bed to read comics or watch movies and a keyboard would make that awkward.

    One of my main concerns is the update support - my iPad has been getting updates since 2017, a lot of the android manufactures are promising a pathetic 3 to 5 years. I don't want to be "software bricked" in 5 years (I.e apps eventually requiring an Android version I cannot update to)
